| ~ Femme Fatale's final words when she is defeated and imprisoned by the Powerpuff Girls |
Femme Fatale (Not to be confused with the fictional comic book superhero from the Big Nate comic strips with the same name) is a very conniving supervillainess and an antagonist in Cartoon Network's The Powerpuff Girls. She appeared in "Equal Fights", which was also her debut episode and was the main antagonist of that episode. She also had a cameo appearance in the special Powerpuff Girls Rule!.
She was voiced by Grey DeLisle.
Her Evil Ranking[]
Her Villainous Deeds[]
- She represents the misandry in villainess.
- She hates men for no reason, and she is even such a misandrist that she does not accept $100 bills (even though they are the highest denomination of the US$) from the Banks she robs because they have Ben Franklin (a man) on them, and she only steals Susan B. Anthony coins because she's the only woman on them, showing how ironic her name is.
- She uses her own gender as an excuse to justify her crimes, and even claims that she is stealing in the name of all women, stating that women need to look out for each other, and that sending her to jail would harm all the women in the world, also with that she shows her cowardice.
- She tricked the Powerpuff Girls into letting her go and is responsible for them temporarily acting hostile towards all the males in Townsville for small non-misogynistic indiscretions, including boys of their own age, their father Professor Utonium, and the Mayor of Townsville, until Miss Keane and Miss Bellum's intervention helps the girls see the error of their ways.
- Although she does hate men, she seems to also show sheer disrespect to other women. Despite her lie to the girls as well as her ultra-female's lib costume, she stole Susan B. Anthony coins from a female bank president or teller, broke the arm of a policewoman, and copied the hairstyle of a teenage girl. She also didn't care for fellow female criminals Sedusa and Princess Morbucks, referring to Morbucks as "that little brat" and Sedusa as "the chick in the underwear." She might be right about this though, as Sedusa and Morbucks also have awful personalities.
- She's a total hypocrite and takes sadistic pleasure in attacking anyone who tries to stop her, regardless of their gender.
- She also commonly targets other women and girls particularly because she herself views them as easier to rob, trick, and/or harass in any way of her choosing. This not only makes her a massive hypocrite, but also ironically more misogynistic than the men she claims “oppress” womankind.
- In her second encounter with the Powerpuff Girls, with them now being remorseful for their actions, she congratulates the girls for what they did to the males and tells them to keep doing it.
- When the Powerpuff Girls ask her who Susan B. Anthony was, she doesn't know anything about her, so the Girls tell her the story about who she really was, a suffragist who illegally voted at a time that women were forbidden from voting, and demanded to face the same punishment that a man would face when she was nearly given a lenient sentence because she was a woman, and thus, the Girls decided to treat Femme Fatale the way they'd previously treated male villains.
- Also, while the girls tell her about Susan B. Anthony, she cowardly tries to come up with an excuse, before running out of ideas and running away, showing how pathetic she is. It makes her defeat very satisfying to watch in the end.
- She stands out as one of the most despised women and villains in the Powerpuff Girls universe for being a normal human being, fully knowing that what she's doing is wrong, but willing to choose wrong over right for the only reason for being a woman and that is why she can do as wrong as she wants, and her arrest is not played for sympathy, since this is well-deserved for her actions.
- While she does have some comedic moments, like her own supervillain name, which is a term used to describe beautiful, but evil women (such as Poison Ivy), the moment when she was horrified when the Girls tell her Who Susan B. Anthony was and what Feminism really means, along when she's taken to jail and says that her prison uniform that the Horizontal stripes makes her look fat, none of these moments take away from the fact of how misandrist, cowardly, and hypocritical she is and she takes things quite seriously.
- Unlike most of the other PPG villains, she, along with fellow female villains Princess Morbucks and Sedusa have no redeeming qualities.
Why Don't She Stand Out?[]
- Her worst actions were only generic thefts and manipulation, making her bog-standard Hate Sink. As such she can't be compared to the other villains such as Mojo Jojo, Princess Morbucks, Sedusa, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Rowdyruff Boys, HIM and especially Dick Hardly, all of whom have the resources to do worse while Femme Fatale only has herself.
