Gigi the Great

Gilbert (AKA Gigi the Great) is a recurring villain from Powerpuff Girls Z, the anime version of The Powerpuff Girls. He is a crazy hair stylist, who is obsessed with giving his clients a ridiculous new hairstyle. He is usually accompanied by his teddy bear, Squiggles. Gigi became even worse than normal when Squiggles got struck by Black Z Rays and hypnotized him. He first appeared in the eponymous episode.

Biography
In the episode "Gigi the Great", Gilbert made his first appearance, working in a hair salon. He kept giving people horrible hairstyles that made them look like they had traffic cones on their heads. Nobody appreciated his artwork and he was getting into a lot of trouble with his co-workers because of it. After his artwork was insulted enough, Gilbert ran into the bathroom to cry. While he was in there, he talked to his companion cube, Squiggles the talking string-pull teddy bear for reassurance. Just then, Squiggles got struck by Black Z Rays and turned into an evil hypnotic bear, who told Gigi that he needed to continue doing what he was doing until people started to appreciate his work. As he did, Gilbert started to get affected by the Z Rays as well, turning him into an enhanced version of himself, who went by the name "Gigi the Great".

Gigi the Great went back out on the floor again and gave yet another customer one of his ridiculous haircuts, once again. This time, however, he used his hypnotic powers to make his customer love his work and praise him for it. His co-workers started to get mad at him but he hypnotized them too, causing them to praise him as their best worker.

Before long, Gigi's traffic cone haircut became the new trend in New Townsville. The Powerpuff Girls took note of this when they saw that even Princess Morbucks had this new hairdo. The girls were both confused and disturbed by Princess' new look but they thought little of it.

Meanwhile, Professor Utonium and Ken picked up readings of Black Z Rays landing in New Townsville. They tracked down the Z Rays to Gigi's hair salon, where they witnessed Gigi the Great giving a myriad of customers the infamous new haircut. As confusing and nonsensical as this was, Professor Utonium and Ken saw nothing particularly wrong with this and left the scene, still not knowing what the effects of the Z Rays were. They couldn't sit and think about this for long, as they quickly received a distress signal from Poochie, saying that Mojo Jojo was on the loose, destroying New Townsville.
