A lot of us have grown up watching the ‘Powerpuff Girls’. Three adorably badass girls beating up villains and saving their city of Townsville, what’s there not to love.
As we’ve grown up, the image of this wonderful trio has remained rather intact until this interesting announcement by the people at Cartoon Network

The news of the trio becoming a four-o (or whatever you’d call it) has caused major disturbance internationally.

While some people are speculating that this forgotten ‘one episode’ member of the Powerpuff Girls might make a comeback

But somewhere along the line this picture surfaced and people are even more confused

The question remains, how relatable is a girl with turquoise hair to us who grew up with the original three?

Well come to think off, the head proportions are quite off.
The professor is losing his touch
When I watched the Powerpuff Girls as a kid, I always wondered 'Why isn't there a black one with a giant head'?
