The Rowdyruff Boys (names Brick, Boomer, and Butch) are major antagonists in The Powerpuff Girls franchise.
They are the male counterparts and arch-rivals of The Powerpuff Girls created by Mojo Jojo and, after their death, they were revived by HIM.
Brick and Boomer were both voiced by Rob Paulsen, and Butch was voiced by Roger L. Jackson who also voiced Mojo Jojo in the same series.
In Powerpuff Girls Z, they were voiced by Reiko Kiuchi, Touko Aoyam and Yukiko Tamaki in the Japanese original version, respectively, and by Alberto Ghisi, Aidan Drummond, and Kathleen Barr in the English version, respectively.
Appearance
The Rowdyruff Boys wear shirts the same color as their eyes with a black stripe, black trousers and matching sneakers. They have large eyes, oval-shaped heads, stubby arms, and legs, and, although they are able to hear, smell, touch, and hold, have no necks, noses, ears, fingers, or toes (often joked about in the series). They stand 2' 3" and weigh 61 lbs. Although they are supervillains, they resemble seemingly harmless little boys.
Personality
The boys are reckless, uncaring, mean, spoiled, loathsome, argumentative, and arrogant so they have somewhat of an extreme personality of a stereotypical teen male. In their first appearance, they all have the same personality, but in their later appearances, they get separate personalities based on the Powerpuff Girls. The boys and Mojo Jojo seem to have a real father and son bond, as seen in their first appearance, "The Rowdyruff Boys".
In Powerpuff Girls Z, they are shown to be perverts when they lift the Powerpuff Girls' skirts up to show their panties.
Appearances
In their first appearance, they blasted the girls to the ground, and then the latter three tried to leave in shame. Although the boys were too dangerous to be kept alive, Ms. Bellum advised the girls to "try being nice." They face the boys again, and, to their confusion, perform their flirtatious eyelash gag, giving the boys the kiss of death. Eventually, they exploded when the Powerpuff Girls kissed them, resulting in "cooties."
In their second appearance, they shrunk whenever embarrassed. They continue to return in the series. Ironically, they never appear in any of the series' special episodes, and were never shown teaming up with other villains to take down the Powerpuff Girls in said specials.

Ultimate Fate
After the Rowdyruff Boys' final appearance in the episode "Custody Battle", it remained unknown what happened to them afterwards. It could be possible that they were simply defeated by the Powerpuffs off-screen or they just left Townsville, defecting from HIM and Mojo Jojo in the process and forgot all about destroying the girls, and never returned.
However, they still appeared in the Powerpuff Girls DC comics, so it’s safe to assure that they never left Townsville or was never killed off-screen.
Trivia
- The Powerpuff Girls 10th anniversary countdown revealed The Rowdyruff Boys to be number 2 of the worst villains, only behind Mojo Jojo.
- Both Brick and Boomer were voiced by Rob Paulsen, who is famous for playing Raphael, Yakko, and Pinky, while Butch was voiced by Roger L. Jackson, who portrayed Mojo Jojo, the boys' creator, and the voice of Ghostface.
- The Rowdyruff Boys are unlockable characters to play in two of the three games of The Powerpuff Girls video games for the Game Boy Color when you input a special code. The games include Bad Mojo Jojo, and Battle Him. They do make an appearance in Paint the Townsville Green, but are unplayable. The Rowdyruff Boys appear as alternate costumes for all three of the Powerpuff Girls in Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL as well as MultiVersus.
- The personalities of the Rowdyruff boys are like meaner versions of Powerpuff Girls. Brick's bossiness is equivalent to Blossom's leadership, Boomer's stupidity is equivalent to Bubbles' baby-like sweetness, and Butch's hyperactive, erratic violent behavior is equivalent to Buttercup's toughness and strong fighting skills.
- The Rowdyruff Boys do not appear to consider other villains as either comrades or competition. In "Bubble Boy", they remorselessly take over Fuzzy Lumpkins' cabin, leaving him tied up in a corner, and in "Boys Toys", they reject Princess Morbucks' offer of alliance on account of her being a girl. In "Custody Battle", they show little to no respect towards HIM or Mojo Jojo. This shows that the boys don't care about anyone but themselves.
- In the Crossover Game MultiVersus, Boomer is implied to have an crush on Bubbles as after getting K.O. he says "I hope Bubbles didn’t see that".
