Everyone, meet Blisstina; The Fourth Powerpuff Girl

Erm…excuse me. I’m not exactly sure how to break this news to you, but do you remember that your favourite Cartoon Network cartoon? Those three finger-less superheroes that were made using the infamous chemical X?

I’m referring to The Powerpuff Girls (in case your childhood wasn’t fun).

Well, on Sunday, as part of a five-part special, The Powerpuff Girls introduced a new character: Blisstina, or Bliss for short! And here’s the kicker, Blisstina a.k.a Bliss is Black!

The new heroine is the long-lost elder sister of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, and is the first black superhero of Townsville!

The character has quite the past: not only was she created by Professor Utonium during an earlier experiment to create the perfect girl, she was once BFF with villain Mojo Jojo.

It begs the question though, is this the producer of PPG’s attempt to address the lack of diversity in the show. If it is, great effort!

I’d like to see them put that same amount of effort in finding a name for the heroine.

Blisstina?  Really??
