The Boogie Man is the main antagonist of The Powerpuff Girls episode "Boogie Frights". He is the leader of a gang of monsters called the Nightmare Monsters with a passion for disco music.
He was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, who also played Captain Gantu in Disney's Lilo & Stitch franchise.
Biography[]
The Boogie Man made his first and only major appearance in "Boogie Frights", where he constructed a space station shaped like a giant disco ball, during a party he was holding underground, where other Nightmare Monsters were partying the night away. The Boogie Man came out into the party floors and announced to everyone that he has a master plan on how he is going to make the night last forever, so they do not have to deal with the sun anymore. got Jerome to hand him his phone, so he could call Scissors and tell him to disable the power to Townsville, shutting off all the lights in the city.
The Boogie Man led all of the other monsters of the darkness out into the city and they terrorized all of the children and even the adults in Townsville and had a huge party at night. The sun came up very soon and Maggot warned everyone to go back to the underworld. Boogie Man reminded the other monsters about his "master plan". The Boogie Man launched his giant disco ball out of the old abandoned roller rink and this disco ball flew into outer space and eclipsed the rising sun so that there would be no more light harshing on their fun.
Despite being the middle of the day, The Powerpuff Girls were still trying to sleep, so when all that partying drove them nuts, they had to fly out into the middle of the town to see what all the hubbub was about. They enjoyed the music and starting dancing with the monsters, before one of them scared Buttercup. The Powerpuff Girls tried to attack the monsters for scaring them, but the monsters beat them up for it. The Boogie Man confronted the girls and told them that they were powerless to stop him. Blossom spotted the disco ball blocking the sun and she flew up to it to blow it up, with Bubbles and Buttercup following hot on her trail. The Boogie Man did not like this one bit, so he got into his flying limousine and drove after them.
The Powerpuff Girls flew to the disco ball and looked for the weak spot, to attack it. The Boogie man fired lasers behind them and knocked Blossom and Buttercup out of the sky. Bubbles then cries in fear, thinking she was powerless, but she remembered what Professor Utonium told her earlier about facing her fear and so she powered through her terror as Bubbles then destroys the ball by shooting laser beams from his eyes into the cabin, resulting the disco ball to explode, as well exposing the sun and leading the other monsters to burned to a crisp. Then, The Powerpuff Girls went to sleep, even though it was broad daylight outside and the episode was over. Following this, it's completely unknown if The Boogie Man survived the ball's explosion or not, althrough he can be seen later as a cameo in some episodes.
Appearance[]
The Boogie Man appears to be a dark blue-skinned humanoid monster with sharp teeth, twisted up bull-like horns. He wears a snazzy white disco jumpsuit with pink collar, matching pants, and matching shoes, orange sunglasses, a couple of rings and jewels around his finger and black eyes with green sclerae.
Personality[]
The Boogie Man is a egotistical and arrogant monster who often acts like a stereotypical 1970's disco dancing guy. He lives underground in the darkness and only comes out at night. He fears the sun, especially it's light and he wishes the world would be shrouded in darkness so that he can party on land all day and all night, terrorize and haunt children, and never have to worry about hiding from the sun again.
