The next character(s) coming to fighting game MultiVersus are the Powerpuff Girls. The trio of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup draws inspiration from Super Smash Bros.’ Ice Climbers and Pokémon Trainer, fighting together as a unified unit, with each girl taking the lead for certain special moves.
MultiVersus already has a two-in-one fighter with Tom and Jerry, who unlike the Powerpuff Girls, are actually fighting each other, given their mortal enemies status. But the Powerpuff Girls have a different impressive trick up their Dynamo Suit sleeves: They have a character variant in the form of the Rowdyruff Boys, a Mojo Jojo creation born of a concoction of armpit hair, prison canteen escargot, and a pilfered dog tail. The boys have their own voice lines, which is a nice, you-didn’t-have-to-go-this-hard consideration.
The Powerpuff Girls and their stinky counterparts are coming to MultiVersus on Sept. 17, as part of season 3: “Sugar, Spice, & Everything Nice.” They’ll be joined by newcomer Nubia, DC’s Queen of The Amazons and the comic book publisher’s first Black female superhero. A destroyed version of The Powerpuff Girls’ Townsville is also en route to MultiVersus.
MultiVersus fans will also spot a new Gremlins-inspired stage and dueling versions of Michael Keaton characters in Thursday’s Powerpuff Girls reveal. We see the 1989 cinematic version of Batman beating up Beetlejuice, which frankly is just a good time for Keaton fans.
