Cartoon Network, when it
first began it launched eight series known as the original Cartoon Cartoons, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken, I Am Weasel, The Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd n Eddy, Mike Lu & Og and Courage The Cowardly Dog. Among these classic series there were often villains, villains that to this day are considered staples of Cartoon Network's History. But even though there were many, two clearly stood above the rest. Mandark, Evil Boy Genius, and Arch Nemesis of Dexter, and Mojo Jojo, Simian Criminal Mastermind, and Arch Nemesis of The Powerpuff Girls. These two titans of mad science have changed the face of CN with their tyranny and today they turn their instruments of evil on each other. I'm Thor Gundersen1058, and by popular demand, I bring you the 1st place winner of my Death Prediction Poll.
For
this blog both combatants will only be allotted what is canon to the classic
series, no 2016 Powerpuff Girls reboot stuff. In addition combatants are only
allowed arsenals they have normal access too, Mandark will not have the
Neurotonic Protocore, and similarly Mojo will not have the Anubis Dog Head.
Background
Mandark
Susan
Astronomonov was born in the tranquil village of Flowertopia to two hippies
named Windbear and Oceanbird. The couple gave birth to him in a pond and named
him Susan specifically to defy the gender and societal norms, and proudly bare
a name that spoke of his purity and gentle nature.
Susan
from a very young age craved organization, work, wanting to accomplish great
things and explore his natural intellect, something his parents, who oppose
government, science and the system would not allow. This caused Susan to,
despite living in a village full of peace loving hippies that hug trees and
talk to magical crystals, act on anger and malice for the world around him
without purpose and develop feelings of greed and cynicism.
One day, Susan happened upon something he had never seen before, a small little light,
but to Susan it was more than that, it was Science! And upon discovering it, he
knew if he could master this there would be nothing to stop him in his adherent
desire to change the world.
As soon
as Susan was able he made clear his disdain for his current lifestyle to his
parents, requesting Meat and Technology. Shocked by this, Susan’s parents took
him on a tour around the world, teaching him numerous things about nature, love
and peace, repressing his inner desires of hate and malice and trying to show
him the good of the world, and when it seemed to work pretty well, the family
moved to the suburbs.
It is
here where a then 8 year old Susan met Dexter, boy genius, and became thrilled
at the sight of his advanced technology. When he approached, Dexter told him to
leave saying he doesn’t want little girls messing with his important
experiment. Susan corrected him that he was actually a boy, but when he said
his name…
Dexter
began laughing uncontrollably, and with that laughter he awoke something inside
of Susan, the darkness that had developed and had been living repressed inside of
him all these years.
Susan
ran inside, cut his hair and got to work on his plans, plans to build a lab
surpassing what Dexter could only dream of, and use science to change the
world! But in order to do this he would need a new name, a name that matched
the Darkness that flowed through him, a name that told of the Man he knew he
could be, from then on he was known as...MANDARK!
Why is
it that heros always seem to create their own villains? Well anyway, Mandark
swiftly got to work designing a massive laboratory and proving himself a force
of super science. At first, Mandark wanted only to prove himself Dexter’s better
and force him to quit. But after Dexter destroyed Mandark’s laboratory the
first time in response, Mandark grew more and more dark and evil, replacing his
metal lab with demonic organic materials and doing things like trying to destroy
Dexter’s lab, ruin his reputation, kill him, conquer the world and enslave
mankind. And while Dexter could normally do his best to stop Mandark, he was
always a major bane, one that wouldn’t rest until he ruled all. Mandark’s
ultimate plan to defeat Dexter and rule was to steal Dexter’s prized
possession, the Neurotonic Protocore, a source of limitless energy and
universal knowledge that Dexter designed.
And
while it took decades, he eventually pulled it off. Only in doing so he
switched the Protocore’s energy to negative, which made Mandark even more
greedy and insane.
Using
the Protocore’s power, Mandark conquered the Earth for years by syphoning away
all of humanity’s knowledge and hoarding it all for himself, then trampling the
rights of mankind with his evil robots.
Thankfully
we had a hero like Dexter on our side, who battled Mandark in a war across
space and time and stormed his caste in a daring mission that saved mankind,
switching the Protocore back to positive.
At the
end of the day nothing remained of Mandark but his brain, which now rests in a
jar, still alive, but able to do no more than speak as part of an exhibit in
the museum of Dexter.
Mandark
generally tries to act very cold and efficient, wanting the fastest way to
achieve things, and caring little about how. This is because he feels that if
he’s the best at achieving something, its because he had more talent and drive
to make it so, and lessor works don’t even deserve to exist. If his plans or
actions cause things to be destroyed than so be it. He is not above stealing
things, using people or betrayal as long as he gets what he wants in the end.
And because of this, Mandark tends to speak in a very monotone voice and doesn't
have any real friends. But Mandark is not a cold engine of logic, in fact
emotions play a major part in how he operates. Under all this, Mandark is an
overly sensitive, entitled glory hog, who believes his own hype to such a
degree that he blinds himself to how the world really works. When faced with
competition, Mandark hates them beyond reason and paints them as strawmen
unable to possibly do anything good. When Mandark is bested, he acts destroyed,
agitated and almost as if having PTSD over the loss. He will seek destruction and revenge
against all who oppose him, as he believes in survival of the fittest, and
clearly the fittest is supposed to be him.
Mojo
Jojo
Jojo
was born in captivity and raised up to be a classical laboratory chimp, and
assistant to the genius scientist, Professor Utonium.
And he
was the worst Lab assistant of all time, he was wild and destructive and broke
anything he got his hands on, almost like he was a wild animal loose in a
laboratory or something.
One
day, Professor Utonium was doing an experiment to create the perfect little
girls, when Jojo suddenly pushed him and caused him to accidentally add an
extra ingredient to the concoction...Chemical X.
And
thus The Powerpuff Girls were born, 3 incredibly powerful superheroins who have
dedicated their lives to fighting crime, and the forces of evil! Huh...so i
guess not all Heros create their Villains, sometimes it's the other way around.
Anyway,
when the chemical reaction that created the girls exploded, it caused Chemical
X to splash Jojo in the face, and leak into his brain. This mutated the chimp,
growing larger, stronger and faster. His skin turned green, his teeth grew
sharp, but most of all, his brain became so large it burst through his skull,
giving him massive super intelligence.
Professor
Utonium had finally gotten what he had always wanted and more, so shortly after
this incident, Jojo was thrown out and forgotten, and began living outside in
the cold city environment, a poor homeless outcast. It is from this Jojo,
experienced the cruelty of the world first hand, it is from this he grew a
greed and disdain for all mankind, it is from this, Jojo was No Moe, Jojo was
now MOJO Jojo.
Mojo
Jojo is now an evil supervillain and arch enemy of the Powerpuff Girls and all
of mankind. After manipulating the powerpuff girls themselves into building him
a secret lair, he unveiled himself to the world by attacking Townsville with an
army of mutated primates.
Even
though the Girls were able to stop him, Mojo’s evil super brain ensures he
never stays stopped for very long. He has tried to destroy The Powerpuff Girls
dozens of times in his never ending quest to conquer Earth.
Mojo has had a extremely long career in supervillain-y and even in a world populated by giant monsters, robbers, mutants and other supervillains, he still remains public enemy number #1. Heck
eventually Mojo Did conquer the world after numerous years of trying.
He
actually did a really good job and made tons of things better, but he seemingly
did so only to spite humans for stopping him from taking it so many times,
showing them what they could have, and reverted back to his evil ways before
long.
Luckily
we have heroes like the Powerpuff girls to bring him down, who are always there
no matter how many times he comes back to stop him. But while Mojo will never
win the day, being the girls' arch nemesis when their rogue gallery includes the
literal Devil, is a feat in its own right.
Mojo is
an evil criminal mastermind, who is hard lined, persistent, and stubborn in
achieving his goals. He thinks very highly of himself and often does whatever
he wants when he wants, not at all caring how it affects others. Mojo often
gets carried away in what he's doing which leads to him talking for long
periods of time in extremely repetitive monologues and getting to focused in
minute details of his plans. He’s very smart and sophisticated and spends lots
of time scheming and committing crimes and isn’t one to underestimate his
opponents. He has a sense of honor, a twisted one, but still it has allowed him
to ally himself with other villains before. Mojo in his primary personality is
very uptight, and intolerant of goofiness or whimsy, and reacts with anger and
frustration when these things inconvenience him. Deep down Mojo is a loner
introvert that wants to relax and be left in peace, having lots of free time
doing his hobbies like model ship building. As such, despite wanting to live in
a modern civilized world, he dislikes being surrounded by insolent humans and
never misses the opportunity to take out some aggression on them.
Intellect
Mandark
Mandark’s
intelligence is Vastly superhuman to the point even in a world completely full
of other super geniuses, he is still solidly in the top 3 most intelligent
beings on the entire planet. Mandark is so smart that when he was introduced
into the series he was actually significantly smarter than even Dexter himself,
to the point where after seeing his lab for the first time, Dexter shutdown his
own one in shame. And while Dexter grew to well surpass Mandark overtime,
Mandark still remained a consistent threat against him for quite awhile,
matching a lot of Dexter’s most iconic inventions blow for blow, such as
Mandark’s giant laboratory, which is stated to contain every facet of science
known to humans.
He also accidentally turned his Female Duck, Ducky, into the dark anti-villain Quackor
The Fowl, who is a edgy foil to Dexter’s Monkey. Eventually Mandark's inability
to match Dex in science lead Mandark to also gain knowledge in other subjects
like the occult and dark forces as well. But even though he got eventually
out-shined in inventing, Mandark’s most dangerous trait is his conniving
trickery.
When he
and Dexter were both recruited as research scientists by the same company,
Mandark began slyly stealing numerous of Dexter’s ideas and presenting them to
higher ups as his own.
Not
only was he never caught for this but he swiftly gained enough sway in the
company to climb the corporate ladder and eventually take control of the
company itself, which lead to him completely conquering the world. This
intelligence has also helped Mandark hold his own in situations that should be
quite disadvantages to him. For example despite not ever training in martial
arts, Mandark can hold his ground with Dexter himself merely by ripping off
fight moves from comic book villains like Mister Misery, which he does to such
a flawless degree it allows him to win.
Mojo
Jojo
If the
massive helmet covering his exposed brain wasn’t clear enough, Mojo has vast
superhuman intelligence. Even when Mojo made hundreds of other primates into
super intelligent beings like him, he was still clearly the smartest. He is
perfectly capable of forming highly complex battle strategies, inventing
powerful weapons and esoteric devices, and is a master chemist who has shown
the ability to create both Chemical X and Antidote-X. Some of Mojo’s gadgets
are so sophisticated even Professor Utonium can’t figure them out.
While
locked away in prison, Mojo was able to create the Rowdyruff Boys who are a
physically equal dark foil to the Powerpuff Girls. Mojo also has numerous other
forms of intelligence as well.
He is a
Total and Complete Master of numerous martial arts to an insanely impressive
degree that has let him go toe to toe against all 3 Powerpuff Girls at once and
can wield Nunchucks and toss a garbage can lid like Captain America’s shield.
He is also a master thief able to stealthily slip past foes and overcome
security systems without alerting anyone. Mojo is an extremely skilled Chef,
has knowledge of ancient artifacts and curses and is a fantastic manipulator
who can weasel his way out of tight spots or shift the blame for his crimes
onto numerous other villains to keep PPG off his back.
But
most impressively, Mojo is SUCH a genius at tactics and villainy that he was
able to match wits with the Alien Overlord, a being smart enough to instantly
recognize and counter any plan the PPG made. Mojo countered it’s own plans to
such a degree of perfection he knew every minute detail of what would happen
down to specific people involved names, and exact times and places certain
things would occur and how things would react. This is borderline precognition.
Powers
Mandark
Mandark
is not just a mere Evil Scientist, But also a Dark Sorcerer, even having co
authored a black magic book with a demon, and as such possesses numerous
supernatural abilities to help him in his Evil schemes. His more occult
abilities include:
- Mind Reading:
Through
sheer Intellect, Mandark is able to read the minds of those around him, using
this to gain tactical knowledge and answer questions before they are asked.
This ability is even able to work on other super geniuses such as Dexter.
- Lightning Manipulation:
Mandark
can summon Bolts of Lightning from the sky.
- Regeneration:
Mandark
has the ability to survive and swiftly regenerate his body from hugely grievous
injuries, this has included healing from his head exploding, having his entire
body being incinerated down to ash and, I Kid You Not, being disintegrated
to such a point that every single cell in his body was destroyed. This would be considered a Mid - High Healing Factor.
- Extra Dimensional Portals/Banishment:
Mandark
is able to open large gateways into the dreaded Nightmare world, as well as
cast beams that banish their target into that dimension on contact.
- Summoning:
Mandark
can also summon monsters from that Nightmare world, most notably is his Giant
Interdimensional Beast, Jojo. This creature is composed entirely of a viscous
acidic liquid and is strong enough to easily overpower Dee Dee. While Mandark
has difficulty controlling it, he doesn’t need to control it to get it to
rampage.
Mojo
Jojo
As a
Chemical X Enhanced being, Mojo actually has more abilities than just super
intellect and stats at his disposal. His other abilities include:
- Super Hearing:
Mojo’s
hearing is acute enough to even be superior to the Powerpuff Girl’s own
hearing, and they are able to hear slight noises on Earth from the Moon, and
pick out specific noises like the Professor's Voice. Mojo can even hear the
sound of totally silent brain control waves when the girls could not.
- Matter Manipulation Resistance:
Numerous
times Mojo has been hit with Antidote-X, a compound specifically made to
nullify Chemical X, yet he can even in large doses shrug off being reverted
back to a chimp. Even if you do manage to revert him back, eventually he will
return to form just like the PPG do whenever they lose their powers only to
later regain them with no explanation.
- Primal Rage:
Primal
Rage is a state Mojo enters when angered to such a point he reverts back to his
animalistic nature for a time and goes berserk. In this state his physical stats
are increased to a massive margin and he seemingly gains the ability to fly.
- 4th Wall Awareness:
Mojo is
also aware of the fact he is a fictional character, this isn’t generally
something he brings up, feeling that the world is real enough to him so may as
well play it straight, but he can access some outside knowledge, particularly
with cartoon network shows. Occasionally though, he uses this to assist him in
his plans, like when he literally beat up the narrator of the show and used
this new roll to reality warp the episode in any way he chose, including
changing the weather and mind controlling everyone.
Weapons & Equipment
Mandark
Mandark’s
Laboratory is a vast structure the size of an entire city, and houses and
studies every facet of science known to mankind. The area is equipped with an
intelligent A.I., a vast army of robots to run it like a well oiled machine and
Mandark can summon to his location from anywhere, as well as a hover chair to
swiftly allow Mandark traverse anywhere in the facility. It is through this lab
that he has invented numerous instruments of evil and power to help him in his
plans, such works include:
- Remote Teleportation:
Mandark
is able to remotely teleport himself anywhere he wants on earth, as well as
teleport objects and other people to himself or elsewhere merely by pressing a
button on his watch.
- Animacy Granting:
A trick
he picked up from Dexter, Mandark can now bring inanimate objects to life by
applying certain charges of electricity. He can casually animate gigantic
structures and whatever he brings to life will carry out whatever order he may
give. When Mandark brought the George Washington head on Mt. Rushmore to life,
it was more physically powerful than Dexter.
- Water Traps:
Mandark
has a variety of Aquatic traps, ranging from Death Charges, Robotic Sharks and
even a machine that generates Whirlpools.
- Monster-Blasting Ampliphonic Atomic Ray-Cannon:
This
mouthful of a gadget drastically increases creatures size and physical stats
the longer they are exposed. Now it it true Mandark intended for this weapon to
have the exact opposite effect, but work with what you’re given.
- Hidden Camera Surveillance:
Mandark
has numerous mobile cameras that allow him to perfectly track and spy on his
foes.
- Matter Creation:
Mandark
can create complex machinery from nothing.
- Death Ray:
Mandark’s
Death Ray Pistol can disintegrate targets it hits, he designed this device
specifically to kill Dexter.
- Laser Whip:
Handy
close range sidearm Mandark carries, this can break the skin of Dexter and
similar level foes.
- Shrinking:
Mandark
can also shrink objects and people down to the cellular level.
- Orbital Laser Cannon:
This
beam fires lasers from outer space potent enough to disintegrate even foes as
tough as Dexter.
- Remote Hacking:
This
remote control can quickly hack into advanced technologies it is pointed at.
- Digitization:
Mandark
has the ability to Digitize physical objects and beings, including himself, and
is able to hack into hyper-advanced computer networks.
- Time Travel:
Mandark
has also invented devices that allow him to teleport through time, he can also
use this to pull versions of himself from different time periods to give him
backup.
- Virtual Reality Force-Loop:
One of
Mandark’s favorite traps, Mandark can teleport foes without them realizing into
an area coated in a negative ion force field, a cloaking device and a
multi-directional conveyor belt floor. They will be convinced they are still in
reality, when actually they are stuck in a cage unable to reach the edge, and
although it is possible to remotely disable it, it still took Dexter himself 3
whole minutes to figure out he was even in this trap.
- Genetic Manipulation:
Mandark
also has rapid cloning technology, while he has not used it on himself, he can
make large clone armies if given time, as well as splice together the DNA of
multiple different species to create monstrous super-powered hybrid creatures.
- Mind Domination Device:
Designed
to emit a wave that will mind control everyone on Earth.
- Robot Army:
Lastly,
Mandark also possess a large army of robots at his beck and call. These robots
can fly and fire powerful lasers that ionize their target. In addition to that
they possess numerous close range weapons like buzzsaws, tentacles and more.
Mandark
even has a reserve of Robot duplicates of himself for security measures.
Mojo
Jojo
Mojo’s
secret lair is an observatory he had built on top of the inexplicable volcano
in Townsville Park. Contrary to what you might think, the lair extends into the
entire volcano as well, rather than simply they observatory. In there Mojo has a massive secret laboratory and
armory where he has created tons of weapons and devices to help him with his
evil plots, including:
- Teleporter Beacons:
Mojo
has tons of remote beacons that allow him to teleport back to his HQ, and yeah
logically he can use this technology to teleport other places.
- Rocket Packs:
Mojo
Jojo also regularly uses rocket boosters too allow him to fly at high speeds.
- Mind Control:
Mojo
Jojo’s biggest hax is the several methods of Mind Control he has developed,
including mind controlling probes that forcibly attach to foes, beacons that
emit a light that hypnotises those that gaze at it, and generally hypnotising
people with a regular watch. It is also heavily implied he can emit brain
control waves.
- Mass Expansion Device:
With
this device Mojo can drastically increase the size of anything in its path to
be larger than skyscrapers and gain the proportionally dense weight.
- Snare Cables:
These
cables rapidly ensnare what they are thrown at in a tight binding, they are
made of solid polyduranium fibroid, a substance so durable even the Powerpuff
Girls cannot break it.
- Matter Manipulation:
Mojo
can splice multiple biological beings into one complex amalgamation.
- Camera Surveillance:
Mojo
has an advanced camera surveillance system that has cameras all over the entire
world and outer space, yes literally, which allows hims to spy on foes and
analyze his past failings.
- Robot Army:
Mojo
also has build himself a sizable army of robots, these robots are shown to be
capable of operating on land and air and fire devastating lasers.
- Lasers:
Mojo
has developed numerous kinds of laser weapons for his evil schemes, ranging
from Giant laser cannons to portable laser rifles and pistols. These beams on
average can disintegrate mountains, damage The Powerpuff Girls or knock them
unconscious in a single hit. Additionally there are several standouts which
according to him could even kill The Powerpuff Girls.
- Freeze Rays:
These
devices are capable of incasing foes in ice instantaneously.
- Liquid Electron Hypodermic Laser:
This
beauty is loaded up with ammunition of both Chemical X AND Antidote-X both of
which Mojo has learned how to make from scratch. This can give anyone it blasts
Super Powers comparable to the Powerpuff Girls, OR disable the powers of anyone
with Chemical X based abilities.
When
Mojo is loaded up with extra Chemical X his power increases immensely as he
turns into a giant monster and additionally gains numerous extra abilities like
sonic claps, launching hairs from his body like spikes and even breathing fire.
- Various other weapons:
Mojo
also has a large stockpile of guns, bombs, rockets, missiles, flamethrowers,
and medieval weaponry to pull from.
Mecha & Vehicles
Mandark
- Mandark-Bot:
Mandark-Bot
is well...A Giant Robot that Mandark built specifically to counter Dexter’s
Robo-Dexo 2000. It has Rocket powered flight, Laser Vision, and is capable of
transforming itself into numerous different superforms and various weapons. One
of its most powerful moves is firing numerous giant bullets from its elbows and
head, which after sticking to their target, detonate in a blast powerful enough
to destroy the Robo-Dexo 2000.
In
addition it is totally on par with the Robo-Dexo 2000, so it’s more than fair
to scale it to that. Which is impressive considering that mech is capable of
destroying giant meteors the size of the moon, physically plugging volcanic
eruptions and escaping blows from Badaxtra, who scaled to Monkey’s 264 Billion
x C Feat of flying to another star system in 3 seconds.
More
impressive than that, the Mandark-Bot can endure being hit by a blast powerful
enough to destroy the Earth.
- Mandark Transformer:
Mandark
has also built his own version of the Dex-Transformer, and like its
predecessor, this exosuit increases all physical attributes of the wearer 100
fold.
- Dark Shuttles:
Mandark’s
Personal flying ships, they can hover through the skies at incredible speeds and
are equipped with lasers and missiles.
- Black Beast Laser Tank:
This
Monster of a Tank fires massive lasers thicker than a small building.
- Dark Rover:
Standard
armored Land Vehicle and yeah, it is equipped with lasers and missiles.
Mojo Jojo
- Robo-Mojo:
Robo-Mojo
actually refers to a large number of giant robots Mojo built to terrorize the
city and fight the Powerpuff Girls head to head. These come equipped with
numerous weapons including twin giant missile launchers that can fire huge
barrages of missiles, numerous lasers, giant hammers and claws. Not only can
this go toe to toe with all 3 Powerpuff girls, but it has impressive feats like
the time it smacked Buttercup so hard into the ground she smashed through the
Earth's core and came out in China, or the time in the comics it battled HIM in
kaiju form, head to head.
- Chopper-Suit:
Basically
this suit turns Mojo’s body into a miniature helicopter and allows him to fly
and gives him extra armor.
- Flying HQ:
Mojo’s
secret headquarters is also a vehicle that flies and can fire lasers from the
bottom.
- Hover Pod:
This
Personal Pod ship is capable of swiftly flying through the sky at speeds
comparable to the Powerpuff Girls. It is durable enough to completely tank
being shot by all three of the girls Laser Eyes at once, and comes equipped
with its own laser weapons, giant claws, and a large electromagnet.
Feats
Mandark
Strength:
- Can fight on physical par with Dexter, and is capable of knocking him out in a single punch. How powerful is Dexter? Quite a bit, I have covered him before and he has numerous extremely impressive physical feats.
This includes tanking multiple
explosions that shook the entire planet.
Physically plugging a black
hole that sucked in an entire ocean. And most notably fighting on par with and
Damaging his sister Dee Dee,
who is so durable that she was
at the epicenter of a relativistic collision between two meteors the size of
the Earth, and endured it so casually she was laughing. This solidly makes
Dexter and by extension Mandark, Planet Busters.
Speed:
- Nimbly dodges Missiles for fun.
- Moved his arms over his head before a bolt of lightning from the sky could hit the ground.
- Has the reaction speed to pilot his own robots and ships, which travel billions of times the speed of light.
- Ran from a mountain to a city in under a minute.
- Tied Dexter in a foot race. Dexter is on physical par with Dee Dee, Dee Dee once had a laser fired at her and before it reached her she managed to pick up Dexter and deflect it off his glasses where the laser then proceeded to fly into deep space in under a second. This is in addition to numerous other feats of Dexter outrunning lasers, which are consistently shown circumventing the Earth. This makes Dexter, and by extension Mandark, Faster than the Speed of Light.
- Moved hundreds of feet before Dexter could turn around.
- Can leap large distances like a stealthy ninja.
Durability:
- Endured a nuclear explosion.
- Endured being smashed into objects by Dee Dee as she destroyed his lab with her Dance, and yet again, Dee Dee is a planet buster.
- Tanked rocketing himself straight into a Death Charge, which exploded in his face, like nothing.
- Survived Terminal Velocity Fall.
- Took a full force punch to the face from Dee Dee.
- Endured being at the epicenter of a blast that destroyed both he and Dexter’s Labs at once and the subsequent Multiple City Blocks this caused to fall on them.
General:
- Survived having his head expanded until it was too large to fit in the universe, where it then exploded and caused trillions of Mandark heads to rain out from it.
- Stealthily overpowered and trapped Dexter’s mom in suspended animation and took her place.
- Survived for months out in the wilderness with no supplies, where he picked up tons of survival techniques and trained falcons to gather food for him.
- Ruled the Earth for a time being.
Mojo
Jojo
Strength:
- Has On several occasions matched physical strength with the Powerpuff girls themselves. How powerful are The Powerpuff Girls exactly? Funnily enough, Quite a Bit.
Even casually, single
powerpuffs are able to stop solar flares, toss kaiju across the solar system
and effortlessly bust Planet Destroying Meteors. But thats still small pickings
compared to what they scale too.
The Powerpuff Girls have
numerous times physically beaten the snot out of HIM, even in his own
dimension. In fact later in the series, single Powerpuffs are able to defeat HIM
even when he has other supervillains backing him up.
HIM is so powerful that not
only is he casually able to telekinetically move the Earth back into its orbit
at relativistic speeds, which in and of itself is low stellular level,
But can also create and
maintain entire dimensions large enough to hold a Star. (everything else
Bubbles drew in this Chalk dimension was proper sized when it manifested so
logic indicates the sun is too).
- Savagely Beat the Snot outta the Gangreen Gang multiple times.
- In the Episode Criss Cross Crisis, Mojo Defeated Buttercup in a head to head fight, and proceeded to hold his own against all 3 Powerpuff Girls at once for several minutes. (Should be noted that while everyone in this episode had switched bodies, it is clear that their physical abilities did so as well, case and point, the Girls retained their superpowers while in different bodies, those that were in their bodies did not have powers, and the elderly woman in Mojo's body was still weak and frail. So any scaling here is fair game)
- While wearing nothing more than a towel, managed to knock Bubbles unconscious with a single hit.
- Beat the hell out of Professor Utonium while he was wearing a robotic suit that allowed him to help the girls fight crime. The girls specifically wanted him to fight Mojo to know how hard being a superhero is, suggesting Mojo is more powerful than general giant monsters they fight, which the professor helped with that same episode.
- When the hobby store didn't have what he wanted, he lost his temper and leveled an entire city block.
- In his Primal Rage state, he managed to easily defeat the Alien Overlord, effortlessly bringing him down and making him beg for mercy in humiliation. That is INSANELY impressive considering the Alien Overlord was so overpowered he not only effortlessly stomped all 3 Powerpuff Girls at once, but could tank even all their most powerful team attacks. And thats in addition to the fact the thing can cause nukes, earthquakes, tornados and drastically alter the Earth’s rotation.
Speed:
- Has Easily kept pace with the Powerpuff Girls in physical brawls numerous times. This is also insanely impressive, as The Powerpuff Girls have numerous largely faster than light speed feats.
This includes Flying to the sun in 10 seconds just to defeat the Amoeba Boys.
Flying so fast they broke the time barrier and entered the future.
Fighting an advanced alien spaceship that traverses across the universe in short time frames.
And most impressively they were
able to repress the massive invasion of the nanobots. The nanobots came down
one at a time each in a raindrop, in a rainstorm that covered a whole city and
continuously poured for over a half hour. The average amount of rain that falls
in one square mile in 30 minutes is 9,480,532,696,200 drops, the average size
of a City is 50 square miles so this means a total of roughly
474,026,634,810,000 raindrops fell. The Girls took exactly 3:20s from fight
start to finish to quell this, but we’ll low ball it to 10 minutes. At this
rate an individual girl would have to kill nearly 300 billion of them per
second. This means the girls each killed 300 drones in a Nanosecond, which
would in and of itself require speeds of over 25,000 times the speed of light.
But this feat does Not stop there.
Each of these nanobots upon
landing, multiplies at a rate of 1000s per Second, this means...the girls would
have to kill 99.9% of the nanobots every second to even stalemate these things.
This means each girl had to actually take out 157,850,869,391,730 per second,
which would require speeds of over 13.3 million times the speed of light.
Except that's also not accounting for the distance which was across an entire
city while the girls were all shrunken, we’ll lowball the amount they were
shrunken to only 1000 fold. So every second, they flew across to the point of
being practically omnipresent in dozens of miles of area, killing trillions of
robots while at a size too small to see. This brings up the final numbers to
over 230 Trillion times the speed of light!

Weaknesses
Mandark
In
spite of being a super genius, Mandark tends to have all the problems of a
typical nerd. He is clumsy and not not good at interacting with others. He is
often times very overconfident in his own abilities despite knowing full well
what his foe is capable of. His pride and ego have gotten in the way of
numerous of his goals before, failing to succeed due to being too busy thinking
of the coolest way to proceed. His most notable weakness however is his
crippling Crush on Dee Dee, which is so bad that sometimes the slightest
reminder of her will cause him to completely forget what he's doing and be
complacent in his loss.
Mojo
Jojo
Mojo is
a perfectionist and gets incredibly frustrated when things do not go his way.
Aspects that frustrate him are not just limited to parts of his plan failing
but also him looking bad to the public or his foes. Mojo is also prone to
getting tunnel vision, like when he re-tried one of his evil plans and got so
focused on preventing what defeated him last time he didn’t realize in this new
plan there was nothing to stop the PPG from just beating him up. Mojo also is
very long winded in his explanations and takes the villain monologuing trope to
a whole new level.

Battle
The City of Townsvi...oh, wait a minute. There we go, The City of Genius Grove! Home to the super boy genius Dexter! Who as always, toils away in his Secret Laboratory, inventing wondrous new things for the betterment of the world.
"CareFUlly....CareFUlly..." Dexter nervously screwed in an additional attachment to his latest invention, when suddenly an Alert sprang up on his watch.
"My WoRd, It SEEms PluTo and NeptUne are about to fall InTo a Rare Cosmic AliGnment! Oh Boy! This Means I could StuDy the InTense GraviTationAl effects They Produce Up CloSe!" Dexter Said as he quickly rushed into a space suit and took off in his Quad Booster.
The scene zoomed out, shown on a dark monitor, in the evil demonic lair of the Evil Genius.... Mandark, who gazed at it pleased...
"AH HAHAH AH HAHA-HAHA, AH HAHAH AH HAHA-HAHA! That Fool Dexter, He has left his laboratory Totally Defenseless! Nothing to stop me from retrieving the Neurotonic Protocore! Soon this world will kneel before Mandark!"
Mandark Quickly reached to his side and pulled out his death ray, then teleported himself into Dexter's Lab. He tiptoed through the massive structure until he happened upon Dexter's massive vault, all of his most powerful devices being housed inside. Mandark grew a devious grin accross his face..."Excellent."
Suddenly a Massive Explosion blew a hole in Dexter's Laboratory, sending Mandark flying, much to his surprise, "Hey, What Gives?"
As the smoke cleared, in flew the infamous supervillain Mojo Jojo, wielding a jetpack and laser rifle.
"At Last, I, Mojo Jojo, Have Located the Source of the Previously Discovered Energy Signature, Which I Shall Harness and Use to Finally Destroy The Powerpuff Girls and Rule The World! MOOHahahahahahahahah!"
Quickly, Mandark jumped up and raised his Death Ray towards the strange enemy. "Hey, I was here first you inferior primal freak! Go find you're own secret Lab to bust into."
Mojo turned his blaster towards him as well, "Oh ho curious, You are not the Boy Genius I had heard of. I did not expect to have an opponent, but No Matter"

Mojo turned his blaster towards him as well, "Oh ho curious, You are not the Boy Genius I had heard of. I did not expect to have an opponent, but No Matter"
Fight!
Mandark fired first, blasting numerous laser bolts towards his simian foe. With insane reaction speed Mojo quickly dodged and rolled behind a machine for cover before returning fire.
Mandark knew where every shot was going to hit before it was fired, and thus expertly avoided every blast before finding cover of his own and the two continued their intense fire fight.
"You should surrender now, you have no chance against the dreaded Mojo Jojo!" Mojo said as he lobbed a grenade towards Mandark's cover, only for Mandark's to reach his hand out and blast the grenade to bits midair without looking. "Fools like you always assume superiority, unknowing that the mind is the most powerful tool!" Mandark said as he blasted numerous shots back.
Mojo contemplated his foe, 'He must has some means of reading my thoughts, I had best not take chances' He thought as he threw one of his teleporter beacons onto Dexter's safe.
"Wait, NOOOO!" Mandark shouted as the safe was teleported away.
"Hahahaha, Foolish Welp!" Mojo said stepping out from the cover, "Now that the safe is secured back at my top secret evil lair, you will never discover its location, hence the purpose of said lair being Top Secret! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Mandark looked towards the ape in amusement, "You forgot I can read your thoughts didn't you?"
Mojo's laughter came to a dead stop ".....Curses"
Mandark quickly fired his Death Ray, blasting Mojo far backwards.
"Now, where could I send you where you won't be any trouble, Oh Yeah, I remember!" Mandark pressed a button on his watch and suddenly Mojo found himself teleported into a desert.
'What is this?' Mojo thought. Quickly, Mojo checked his global surveillance and found that he wasn't in any desert on the planet. "So that fool thinks he can trick me with this illusion? Well think again!"
Mojo activated his boosters and flew at faster than light speeds, bursting through the chamber.

Mojo activated his boosters and flew at faster than light speeds, bursting through the chamber.
Meanwhile, hovering just over Townsville Park flew Mandark in his flying shuttle, backed up by a force of over 10,000 battle robots who began converging on Mojo's lair.
Suddenly hundreds of Robots emerged from the lair and began firing on the enemy force. Mandark's Robots engaged with the enemy androids, the sky looked like an angry cloud of bees as the two army's of robots tore at each other. The sound of tearing metal echoed throughout the city and the area glowed from the light of all the laser fire.
All the while Mandark's ship flew closer to Mojo's lair, protected by a strong defense of robots. "No Obstacle will stand in my way" Mandark said as he drew ever closer. Suddenly one of his own Robots smashed against the lairs doors. Mandark turned and to his surprise saw Mojo, who had returned on a jetpack. He watched in awe as the villain tore through wave after wave of his robots like nothing.
"Man, this maniac is an even bigger killjoy than Dexter, I'd better deal with him now." Mandark pressed a button on his ship and it began to shrink to molecular sized before flying toward Mojo. "Should just be a simple matter to fly in and lobotomize him, then Victory will be Mine!" Mandark proclaimed as he flew ever closer.
Mojo's ear twitched, as he heard the approaching micro-ship. At the last possible second, he turned and blasted Mandark with his Mass Expansion Device, returning him to normal size as Mojo caught the front of his ship and stopped it with his sheer might.
"You're actions are far too predictable, I hate to have to destroy fellow villains, but there is only room for One ruler of the World!"

Mandark thought fast, with a press of his watch, he activated his Satellite laser cannon, which fired down a massive glowing laser with enough power to destroy a planet. It blasted mojo directly as he screamed in agony and vaporized the front of Mandark's ship sending both villains crashing to the ground in an enormous cloud of dust.
Mandark rolled outta his ship and began coughing, he looked over to the smoke cloud, only to see an all too familiar silhouette.
Mandark rolled outta his ship and began coughing, he looked over to the smoke cloud, only to see an all too familiar silhouette.
Mojo Emerged from the smoke, his clothes tattered and ripped, his helmet cracked, but he still stood tall...and he wasn't happy.
"Fine," Mojo said placing his palm over his fist and cracking his knuckles, "We Doo this the Old Fashioned Way"
Mandark quickly pulled his laser whip and attempted a strike, but Mojo easily dodged and punched Mandark with such force all of his teeth flew out. Not wasting any time, Mojo then Tackled Mandark straight through a construction site.
Mojo pounded Mandark into the ground with blow after devastating blow until he reduced his entire head to a fine paste.
Mojo took a brief exhale to calm down before turning around and walking away, when suddenly, he heard something...
"AH HAHAH AH HAHA-HAHA, AH HAHAH AH HAHA-HAHA!" Mojo Turned and shockingly saw a fully intact Mandark rise from the hole.
"Chim Chimniy Charoo!" Mandark yelled his dark incantation as a bolt of lightning blasted out from his hand and electrocuted Mojo launching him backwards.
"This Monkey is stronger than I took him for, I think its time I took this more seriously" Mandark proclaimed as he teleported his time machine to him.

"This Monkey is stronger than I took him for, I think its time I took this more seriously" Mandark proclaimed as he teleported his time machine to him.
Mojo immediately got up from the electrocution, suddenly however, he became surrounded. four Mandark's lead by the one he had been fighting.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Monkey, I just thought I'd invite my friends." The four collective Mandark's let out a high pitched laugh.
"Your friends are future versions of you? That is pathetic, and ignores the very definition of friends, one cannot simply be friends with themself..."
Not waiting for him too finish Business Mandark blasted forward with a beam to digitize Mojo. Thankfully Mojo predicted this action and began nimbly dodging the beams.
Before long Mojo jumped behind Brain Mandark and tossed it towards him. The Brain hit Business and knocked him over as the Brain itself was digitized and trapped in cyberspace.
"MOOHahahahaha" Mojo laughed when suddenly Overlord Mandark slammed his body on top of Mojo, crushing him with his massive girth.
Mandark laughed and began walking away when suddenly, Overlord Mandark began being lifted off the ground.
Mandark turned to see Mojo slam Overlord onto business and secure them both in unbreakable snare cables. Mandark thinking quickly fired a spell at Mojo, which would banish him to the Nightmare world, but Mojo was too fast and used the other two Mandark's as a shield, trapping them in the horror dimension.

Mandark's head steamed with Anger and he decided he was through playing games as he teleported in his Mandark-Bot and began firing tons of missiles at the primate. Mojo started darting around the area at speeds too quick for Mandark to properly track and in response activated and climbed into his Robo-Mojo and the two began a Giant Robot Fight!
The Robo-Mojo smashed its first down with immense power, that caused an earthquake and made the Mandark-Bot lose its balance. "Grrr, it's too strong...hmmm but is it strong enough, hehehe" Mandark-Bot quickly latched on to the Robo-Jojo and electrocuted the mech with an energy that brought it to sentience with a strong desire to serve...Mandark.

Suddenly, the Robo-Jojo tore off its own glass dome and threw Mojo to the ground. "W-WHAT, Such INSOLENCE"
"AH HAHAH AH HAHA-HAHA! Have fun with your new playmates Mojo" Mandark said as he began advancing towards his lair once again, leaving the Mandark-Bot on auto pilot as both Mech's began to attack Mojo. Mojo was blown up by missiles, burned by lasers, and smashed under the Robo-Mojo's foot. "Evil...more evil...No One...more Evil..." Mojo's pupils grew small..."NO ONE IS MORE EVIL THAN MOJO JOJO!"
With that Mojo when BERSERK, he Tore the Robo-Mojo's Leg off and baseball batted the thing into Mandark's path. "Oh you Have Got to be Kidding me"

With that Mojo when BERSERK, he Tore the Robo-Mojo's Leg off and baseball batted the thing into Mandark's path. "Oh you Have Got to be Kidding me"
With a Wave of his hands Mandark summon'd forth his interdimensional beast Jojo, which Began its Advance. "Wait hold on Jojo" Mandark said as he then teleported in his Atomic ray cannon. "Lets Even the playing field."
The Mandark-Bot did it's best holding back Mojo's Primal Rage form but it couldn't hold out as Mojo quickly flew straight through its chest and it exploded in a massive blast. Suddenly however Mojo was smacked out of the sky by a giant blob hand.
Crashing into the dirt, Mojo gazed up at the MASSIVE blob creature, made exponentially stronger by the power of the atomic ray cannon.
Mandark grew a wicked evil smile. "Mojo, meet Jojo" Jojo looked at the monkey, hunger in its eyes "GRRRRRRRRRRAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"
"No Crude Beast can stand against Me!" Mojo Yelled as the two began fighting but Mojo couldn't hold him back, the power boost was too much and Jojo smashed him through the outer wall of his Lair.
Mojo slid out among a massive pile of weapons and lab equipment, as he looked in somewhat intimidated terror at the beast.
Mandark simply watched him struggle, clearly enjoying this after such annoyance.
Suddenly Mojo took notice of his LEH Laser, and let out a hardy chuckle as he blasted himself.
Mojo Grew to a gigantic size as he took on his ultimate form and clashed with Jojo in a titanic struggle that shook the very earth and dispersed the clouds above.
"Just as I thought he'd do" Mandark said with confidence as he teleported in a new device.
Mojo Let loose a massive stream of fire breath and evaporated the beast Jojo, and then turned his attention towards Mandark.
There Mandark stood, his Mind control device at the ready. "Ya know, you really should feel honored you forced me to even bust this out, for that I am impressed. Mandark switched on the Machine, Mojo could hear the Mind control waves approaching....With NO time to lose he smashed his titanic fist into his lair and pulled out his freeze ray.
Mojo took aim and blasted an enormous rush of cold throughout the whole city block, encasing Mandark, and his machine, freezing the circuits and cutting off the waves where they stood.
Calmly Mojo let out a sign of relief before he walked over, picked up the frozen Mandark and threw him straight into the Sun, where he was incinerated down to nothing.
Mojo then de-mutated himself and ran up to the safe, only to get a pie in the face, a note on the pan saying 'Nice Try Mandark'
......."CURSES!!!!!"

Powerpuff girls fly back from their day at the beach, and see a massive crater where the park used to be.
Buttercup: "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED HERE?"
Buttercup: "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED HERE?"
Results
Wow,
now this was a very hard fight to decide, mostly because of how good the two
villains defenses were. With Mojo’s Star Level Durability, Mandark really
couldn’t harm him with any of his normal destructive weapons. But Mandark’s
healing is so potent that Mojo putting Mandark down with physical force is also
practically impossible, as you would have to be a helluva lot stronger than
star level to completely vaporize someone not far behind at planet level.
However, like most evil Scientists, these two also had some hax that could get
around these problems. Mandark’s definite ways to kill Mojo included Mind
Controlling him, Digitizing him, or Trapping him in another dimension. While
possible ways to do it include using his Hacking or Animacy Granting to use Mojo’s
stronger tech against him, but thats mitigated due to the numerous ways Mojo
can raise his stats beyond those too. Mojo’s ways to kill Mandark included Mind
Controlling him and Freezing him, with also the possibility of manipulating his
matter in such a way he couldn't regen, though that last one is debatable. So
with both of them being mostly immune to each others arsenals, and only
possessing a small handful of ways to win each, the winner is heavily reliant
on momentum and intelligence. Comparing their Momentum:
Mandark’s Momentum:

Mojo’s Momentum:

We see
a great deal of crossover with some of their main powers but overall it looks
like Mandark’s momentum is better right? Well actually upon closer inspection
Mojo actually has all he needs to deal with anything Mandark has, while Mandark
does not. Mojo can escape the VR Force Loop with his own teleportation, and
would discover he is in such a trap INSTANTLY thanks to his global
surveillance. Mojo’s Robots will completely overwhelm Mandark's own due to
being stronger. And even Mandark using his time machine to pull backup wouldn't
be very effective because Mojo is just significantly faster than them, in fact
he's physically about 100 times faster than even their technology, let alone
themselves. Through this, he can dodge even the haxy attacks that could kill
him with total ease, even when faced with multiple opponents, this even
includes the Mind control waves, as Mojo is able to Hear those and thus see
them coming as well. Meanwhile Mandark can’t dodge Mojo’s freeze ray and mind
attacks reliably. The last thing we need to talk about is intelligence. Mandark
is a total super genius, he’s easily as smart, or even smarter, than Mojo in
terms of science, but Mandark is a genius Specialist, while Mojo is a genius
Generalist. In addition to having comparable knowledge in science, Mojo is also
a genius tactician, strategist and fighter who can predict the actions of
others, Especially other evil doers, to such a fine degree of detail that it's
basically precognition, which is actually more advantageous than Mandark’s Mind
Reading. Mandark knows what Mojo is thinking, but Mojo knows what Mandark will
DO. And that’s not even counting the 4th wall awareness. With this it is
logical that Mojo would more likely have a contingency for a regenerating
enemy, would be faster and better at improvising a plan to stop them with his
arsenal, and his speed and skill ensure he would be able to capitalize on it
first. So when determining the best villain of the Cartoon Cartoons, looks like
Mandark had a real monkey made of him…
The
Winner, Is Mojo Jojo.
Excellent work Thor! Amazing job!
ReplyDeleteSPOILERS
I'm a fan of the PPG and Mojo is a really cool villain! This was definitely a death battle he'd think was worthy of him!
You did a really good job of avoiding a seemingly obvious answer which I am quite impressed with. The sheer amount of haxes made me think that Mandark was gonna win, but I analyzed it over and over in my head and eventually thought Mojo because realistically having more ways to one-shot your opponent doesn't help if your opponent can one-shot you as well and it comes down then more to who would deliver one faster (useless versatility in other words) and it seemed we were on a similar thought process! You did a very convincing analysis of how Mojo's seemingly small abilities would help him avoid Mandark's trickier haxes. I always have a soft spot for cool usages of super senses in fiction!
I am very impressed by the speed calc you did for PPG-verse. It's nicely consistent with their time barrier breaking feat and their ability to keep up with universe-traversing spaceships.
My favorite part of the fight was Mojo turning into Kaiju Mojo and fighting Jojo. Probably the best Jojo reference I've ever seen ;)
I thought you did a great job of capturing the two villain's bombastic personalities and the unique differences in their thought processes. Given that Mojo actually ran things well unlike Mandark, I guess you could say that Mojo...saved the day. He wouldn't like that though. The day is saved...thanks to Mojo Jojo ;)
Great blog Thor! Yet another battle with 2 characters I have a lot of nostalgia with. You did a really good job displaying both Mojo's and Mandark's backstories and various inventions and abilities in a entertaining way. Mojo actually scaled to the Powerpuff Girls more than I expected.
ReplyDeleteThat written battle felt like a more chaotic version of Jimmy vs Dexter and I love it just for that. The back and forth in their dialogue was legitimately funny and entertaining and the way you displayed their ridiculous weapons and powers really was well done. The precognition vs mind reading was particularly interesting. This battle is a good example of why I like cartoon vs battles, since their power and arsenals can be so unpredictable.
I really like the your point in the conclusion that this was a battle of a genius specialist vs generalist. In conjunction with Mojo's weapons and feats, that definitely makes sense why he is the winner.
I am SUPER excited for the next time. It will be interesting to see how powerful Mickey is after 90 years of media.
Holy cow, it's here! This is literally a dream come true; I'm pretty sure I've mentioned several times this is my #1 dream fight for cartoon villains. I loved both of these shows growing up, especially Dexter's Lab, and these two villains stood tall among the various baddies I saw get blasted across the tv screen time and again.
ReplyDeleteWhere do I even begin to sing praises here? Well first off, I really liked the detail you put into the initial sections of the blog focusing on the backgrounds and personalities of the combatants. I feel anyone reading this blog who didn't know one or either of them ahead of time would get a really good handle on what kind of villains they're dealing with. Even more impressive is how well their established characters were represented in the fight itself. The most important thing to me that this blog needed was the Mandark laugh; I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Wasn't disappointed in any way actually; I wanted it to end in Mandork getting wrecked and I got my wish! Even though I'm more of a DL fan than a PPG fan, seeing him lose is always so satisfying.
Speaking of winners and losers, this one was surprisingly tough to call. I thought Mojo had it in the bag but the more I thought about it, the more I went back and forth. Seems like I wasn't the only one! Really good, in-depth reasoning on your verdict, I was impressed you even included a chart! Pretty cool to see you go over Mandark's myriad methods of victory and how Mojo can shut him down.
The fight itself was a spectacle for the imagination. I loved the sense of escalation you wrote into it, as Mandark threw invention after invention (and even magic) at Mojo while the monkey just got bigger and angrier. This fight had a mecha battle and a kaiju battle, I don't think I can possible ask for more except maybe a swordfight :P Missiles and lasers are what's on the menu today though and I do love me some 'splosions! I especially liked Mojo's counter to shrunken-down Mandark and Mandark's counter to Mojo's mech. Though by far my favorite moment was the ending. So satisfying!
Thank you very much once again for making a dream of mine come true bro. I'd tell you to take a well-deserved break but by the looks of that trailer, your next blog might be your most ambitious project ever! Very excited to see it.
Great job man I grew up with both shows but I didn't think this fight would be this close.
