One thing I never noticed is that “Him” is probably one of the most twisted villains of all time. If you notice 4 key things about him, you’ll be able to figure it out:
-he where’s a Santa Clause-ish outfit
-he has claws
-he looks like Satan
-his name is Him, with a capital “H”
First thing I noticed was the Santa Clause outfit. Then his claws. And I thought to myself, “Hmm, Clause and claws sound exactly the same. So where does the ‘Santa’ part come—holy shit!!” And that’s when I realized, Him looks exactly like Satan with claws, and if you put the two together, it’s a dark play on the name Santa Clause. And the whole “Satan” idea makes his name totally ironic, considering that God is referred to as “Him,” with the capital H, as well. Him is a dude, but with feminine characteristics, implying that he belongs to the realm of “the unknown.” I totally remember the episode where he brought the Rowdy Ruff boys back. Who the hell can do that?! Resurrect people!? Other than someone with supernatural powers. The creators of Powerpuff Girls must be creative geniuses to write all these crazy subliminal messages into one character.
