Greetings, Powerpuff Girls fans, it is your old friend Antoni here with another written entry. This time we are going to take a look at the six-person superhero group that has found a wonderfully special place in my heart, at least where my headcanon is concerned. If you are not aware of this, I have been completely inspired by fanfics and fan art of the Rowdyruff Boys and the Powerpuff Girls joining forces as one strong superhero team and not just the ones involving shipping. This got to the point where the idea of Team Xtreme came to be, as I was not only inspired by those said fan installments but also the other shows I grew up with like Justice League, X-Men, The Avengers, Power Rangers, and Teen Titans. You can tell that I am a huge sucker of superhero groups that consist of, ideally, six to, at most, seven people because of the interesting and engaging group dynamics these teams have to offer. All of these have carried through my fascination with grouping the Ruffs and Puffs as the superhero team that they are in my headcanon. With all of that out of the way, let us get to know Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles a bit better, as they are Team Xtreme. Getting to Know Team Xtreme Saving Townsville and the world since 1998, we have Team Xtreme, which is the result of the Rowdyruff Boys and the Powerpuff Girls joining forces after the former group was adopted by Miss Bellum and was raised as her trio of most beloved sons. Adding in Mr. Green as their father also proved to be just as great, as Brick, Butch, and Boomer had and will always have a father to groom them into the fine gentlemen that they are. With their different skills and abilities, Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles have proven themselves to be Townsville’s finest superheroes from their times as kindergarteners all the way up to adulthood. Brick “The Bludgeoner” Green Age: 27 Birthday: March 5, 1992 Position in the group: The Leader Special Power: Pyrokinesis and many other fire-related attacks Status: Married to Buttercup since 2011. Likes: Basketball, Soccer, Football, Rugby, Boxing, Pankration, Muay Thai, Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Weightlifting, Bodybuilding, Wrestling, Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Heavy Metal Music, Rock ‘n Roll, Graphic Novels, Jidaigeki films, Seinen anime, Mystery Shows, Roller Coasters Dislikes: Crime, Corruption, Anyone who hurts him, his teammates and/or his family, Laziness, Lack of Motivation, Cowardice, any creative installment that panders to the lowest common denominator, schmalzy chick flicks Relationships within the Team: Butch Green (brother), Boomer Green (brother), Blossom Utonium-Green (good friend and sister-in-law), Buttercup Utonium-Green (wife), Bubbles Utonium-Green (best friend and sister-in-law) Relationships outside the Team: Mr. Green (father), Mrs. Bellum-Green (mother), Professor Utonium (father-in-law), Mrs. Keane-Utonium (mother-in-law), Bunny Utonium-Mitchelson (sister-in-law), Mitch Mitchelson (best friend and brother-in-law), Mike Believe (best friend), Robin Snyder-Believe (best friend) Brick is the intrepid, large-and-in-charge, tough, confident, resourceful, street smart, and well-rounded leader of Team Xtreme and is the overall oldest not only among his brothers who are also born the same day and year as him but also among his teammates. He may rule with an iron fist but he is extremely protective of his group. Ergo, any harm that is done to his brothers Butch and Boomer, his close comrade and really good friend Blossom, his wife Buttercup, and/or his best friend and little sister-in-law Bubbles would be enough to trigger him to beat up any perpetrator and put him in his place, thus showing the juxtaposition of Brick being harsh towards his enemies yet tender, supportive, and encouraging towards his comrades. Brick’s confidence and large-and-in-charge attitude are what make him stand out as Team Xtreme’s courageous leader. These traits have also carried through from kindergarten to grade school to middle school to high school to college to marriage. This even got to the point where he was one of Townsville High’s most well-rounded and popular young men ever, participating in a plethora of athletic, scientific, and social clubs, thus making his reputation at Townsville University absolutely laudable. While Brick has these said traits, they can also make him prone to arrogance, being irate for the littlest of things, overly demanding, highly strung, and overprotective. Luckily for him, he has his teammates and friends to keep his feet on the ground and remind him that he does not have to battle all of these things alone. Brick’s dynamics with his teammates show a lot of versatility and interest from the epic bromance he has with Butch to the competitiveness he has with Boomer to he and Blossom butting heads in terms of their strong beliefs only to come to an agreement with a good conversation to his sensually romantic intimacy with Buttercup to his big brother protectiveness when he is around Bubbles. When all is said and done, Brick is grateful to have his favorite brother Butch for supporting him as his second-in-command and for being his best friend for life, his other brother Boomer for his jokes and humor and for all of the competitions they have together, Blossom for challenging him to be a better person, for being a really good friend, and an awesome comrade-in-arms akin to a younger sister, Buttercup for unconditionally loving him in spite of his flaws, and Bubbles for her moral support and for being like his little sister from another mother. Brick’s main element is fire and he uses it whenever he and/or his teammates are in danger. He is a gifted pyrokinesis user all thanks to his signature fire breath and the many abilities he has involving fire. Aside from that, he has super strength, super speed, heaps of endurance, superb combat prowess, and is a strategist. Ergo, he is extremely dependable when he and his comrades are in a fight against all types of villains. Butch “The Baron of Berserk” Green Age: 27 Birthday: March 5, 1992 Position in the group: The…

This piece of RRB/PPG fanart is dedicated to Carrie aka Carriedreamer who celebrated her birthday a week ago and whose fanfic “As Time Goes By” is so worth reading and is freaking awesome, Miss-Beastly and RyanSilberman who celebrated their birthdays yesterday, and alin aka abby-sanban and alexus aka GalaticX-Studios18 who are celebrating their birthdays today. So, Carrie, Miss-Beastly, Ryan, Alin, Alexus, I wish you a lot of love, joy, happiness, beauty, strength, and abundance in your lives as artists and as people. Como se dice en español, os deseo mucho amor, alegría, felicidad, belleza, fuerza y abundancia en vuestras vidas como artistas y personas. I would also love to dedicate this to everyone who loves teaming up the Rowdyruff Boys and the Powerpuff Girls into one awesome superhero team. I hope you all enjoy this. Move over, Justice League. Step aside, Teen Titans. Take a hike, Avengers. Because Townsville’s bravest, finest, and most awesome superheroes are in the house. Ever since they were children they have been bringing security, honor, and strength to not only Townsville, thus becoming one of America’s finest superhero teams of all time akin to the Justice League and the Teen Titans, but also the world. Is there anything else one needs to say about this six-person superhero team? It is rather self-explanatory but let us who they are. From left to right, and from eldest to youngest, we have Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles. 26-year-old Brick “The Bludgeoner” Green is the eldest member of Team Xtreme, as well as the leader, thus functioning as the Team Dad. It also helps that he is the eldest son of Mr. Green and Mrs. Bellum-Green, as he and his brothers were taken to be adopted by them, more specifically Mrs. Bellum-Green, and, therefore, make both HIM and Mojo Jojo lose custody of the Rowdyruff Boys. His combination of strength, street-smarts, and book smarts certainly make him a fearless leader. He is commanding and tough towards his foes and loving, loyal, and willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of his teammates. He can be impulsive whenever things go awry and there are times his confidence can tread towards hubris, but he still means well to them and they, in turn, help him in whatever circumstance he is going through. His special power is pyrokinesis and many of his main attacks are fire-based. His hobbies and interests include martial arts, mechanics, weightlifting, basketball, soccer, physics, wrestling, automobiles, specializing in different forms of cuisine, and history. He is happily married to Buttercup and they have ten children named Bea, Blaze, Brent, Brooke, Brianna, Bane, Bethany, Brina, Bona, and Brett. 26-year-old Butch “The Baron of Berserk” Green is the second eldest member of Team Xtreme and is the muscle of the group. Whenever there is a heavy duty task that needs to be done, he accomplishes it in flying colors. While Brick acts as the main big brother of the group, Butch functions as the second big brother, thus making them close not only as brothers, but also as comrades seeing that they are also two days apart. He is always battle-ready, as he uses a combination of brute strength, pure brawn, and raw animal instinct to help him carry through. His teammates always rely on him and Buttercup to kick criminal butt and protect them from all forms of harm. He is extremely aggressive towards his enemies to the point of overdoing his attacks, mostly to dish out what harm they would cause to his teammates. However, with his teammates he can be surprisingly sympathetic especially to Blossom and Bubbles, fun-loving yet extremely competitive to Buttercup, loyal to Brick, and competitive to Boomer all while maintaining his savage side. Aside from creating forcefields, which have become extremely applicable whenever it comes to protecting his teammates from energy-related attacks, he bears the main element of wind, as his deadly Tornado Punch comes in handy when beating up criminals. Butch’s hobbies and interests include weightlifting, bodybuilding, wrestling, martial arts, American football, basketball, soccer, mechanics, physics, monster trucks, riding his motorcycle, and automobiles in general. He is happily married to Blossom with eight children named Azalea, Brendan, Blake, Bradley, Belle, Brenda, Belinda, and Abigail. He even has three children with Bubbles, his life partner, named Brandon, Brea, and Betty. 26-year-old Boomer “The Fleet Athlete” Green is the optimistic athlete of this superhero group. Being a superbly holy matrimony of brute strength, massive endurance, and lightning speed, he is really reliable not only in battle but in many everyday situations. Personality-wise he is an optimist, the occasional funny man, and he is pretty much the sympathetic dumb muscle of the group. Through moments of joy and sorrow, he is always there to comfort his teammates and give them abundant moral support. He is the type of guy whose heart is always in the right place, thus having he and Bubbles gelling the group in its entirety with flying colors. He has a competitive yet tight relationship with Brick and Butch, as evidenced with all of the wrestling, martial arts, weightlifting, and occasional bodybuilding these three brothers do. A lot of his powers are clearly linked to lightning and raw energy, as his special power is creating objects out of raw energy like a baseball bat, shuriken, and a lasso. Boomer’s hobbies and interests include music, American football, hockey, soccer, filmmaking, anime, video games, martial arts, weightlifting, swimming, languages, sculpting, and theater. He is happily married to Bubbles with eight children named Bailey, Barley, Ben, Brittany, Bonnie, Birdie, Belina, and Bali. Boomer even has five children from his life partner Blossom named Bloom, Brittney, Beau, Becky, and Bella. 25-year-old Blossom “The Commander and the Leader” Utonium-Green is the brains, tactician, and Team Mom of Team Xtreme. What makes Blossom lethal in the battlefield is her accuracy, especially when it comes to acknowledging her opponents strong and weak points. She even uses her smarts when solving various problems, as well as her profession…
This piece of RRB/PPG fanart is dedicated to a fellow DeviantArtist by the name of Blonde Girl aka Blossom200 :iconBlossom200: who is celebrating her birthday today. She has also been rather supportive of my work and I am very thankful to have her in my life as an artist. So, I wish you all the best on your very special day, keep on being the loving and awesome soul that you are, and may you have abundant joy and blessings in your overall life. I would also love to dedicate this to all of my wonderful fellow Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles shippers. I hope you all enjoy this piece of Brickercup, Blossutch, Boomubbles fanart. Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles have struck again. And why not, they’re not only my favorite OTPs but also Townsville’s finest and most awesome power couple under one Team Xtreme roof. Besides there is nothing more fulfilling than having three dashing champions of courage, strength, and endurance be the great husbands to three sexy goddesses of toughness, wisdom, and beauty. It is a pleasure to see Brick being the strong, muscular, handsome rebel Team Dad that he is alongside his fierce, spitfire wife Buttercup, Butch being that tall, strapping muscle pillar that he is with his goddess and Team Mom of a wife Blossom, and Boomer being the lovable, sympathetic dumb muscle that he is alongside his darling sweet wife Bubbles. My love for Townsville’s finest super couples knows no bounds and I’m gonna stay an über staunch Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles shipper until the end of time. Well, Blossom200, I hope you enjoyed your birthday gift. And to all of you awesome shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles, I hope you enjoyed this piece of work as much as I enjoyed making it happen. Take care and see you all on the flipside. Brick, Buttercup, Butch, Blossom, Boomer, and Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
This piece of RRB/PPG fanart is dedicated to a fellow DeviantArtist by the name of Zofia aka AmberPone, who celebrated her birthday two days ago. So, Zofia, I hope you had a magnificent, prosperous, awesome, and beautiful birthday and I wish you abundant joy in your artistic endeavors. I also wanna dedicate this picture to all of my dearest comrades-in-arms and fellow shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles. You all know exactly who you are and I hope you all enjoy this. Ah, Townsville’s very own Team Xtreme. The superhero team where superstrong, dashing, ripped, hunky gentlemen like Brick, Butch, and Boomer have the muscles to do any heavy-duty work as well as give any thug, felon or mugger a huge beating and where gorgeous, agile, graceful, powerful ladies like Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles have the moves to pinpoint their opponents’ weaknesses and strengths as well as attack bad guys with style and elegance. Seriously, having dynamics in which raw power and strength can mesh with agility and grace is a force to be reckoned with and all of these fine ladies and gentlemen of Team Xtreme have it in spades. Think about it. Brick, Butch, and Boomer have the muscles to grapple, wrestle, and/or knock out an opponent in either a camel clutch, a suplex, a bearhug, a backbreaker, a body slam or a neck-breaker, while Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles have the moves and are just as powerful to subdue their opponents with their uppercuts, jabs, hooks, roundhouse kicks, clinches, knee kicks, flying dragon kicks, and judo flips, thus making all six of these superhumans absolutely indestructible as one impeccable team. In Brickercup’s case, one can never go wrong with Brick applying his Olympic-level athleticism by having the strength of ten lions, the speed of a cheetah, and the reflexes of a leopard and Buttercup applying her own brand of combining super strength, agility, and marathoner-like endurance to make one amazing combo. When all is said and done, Brick and Buttercup definitely meet Olympian standards with their brand of unwavering endurance and unrelenting durability. Blossutch’s case is extremely fascinating, as it is a holy matrimony made in Heaven between animalistic, raw, wild power and lethal precision. With Butch’s muscles and raw strength, he can make warriors fall down to their knees and surrender what little fight they have left in their system, thus making him the brawn. Blossom’s cognizance and strategy over her foes’ strengths and weaknesses make her the brains of this action duo. Together, every combo they make will give foes one good reason never to cross their paths. Boomubbles’ case may be a little bit more subdued than the other two power couples’, but Boomer and Bubbles are just as powerful and durable as their siblings. When one thinks about it, Boomer is not just super strong but also really fast, indubitably nimble, and has such abundant endurance to make him all the more astounding as a complete athlete. Bubbles is just as strong, agile, speedy, and tough as her dearest husband in the whole wide world to the point where they complement each other in every, single thing they do. These two can make any marathoner, any athlete in a triathlon, any sprinter and even Looney Tunes’s very own Road Runner himself extremely green with envy, all thanks to these blue-clad lovers running beyond the speed of light. Moreover, any Olympian would love to have Boomer and Bubbles as his sources of inspiration or even “spirit animals”. And there you have it. When you have really strong men pair up with really tough women, then you have matches made in Mount Olympus, baby. Especially if those gentlemen are Brick, Butch, and Boomer and if those ladies are Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles. Thank you all for tuning into this piece of fanart and I will see you all on the flipside. Brick, Butch, Boomer, Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
This piece of Rowdyruff Boys and Powerpuff Girls, known in my headcanon as the superhero team Team Xtreme, is dedicated to a fellow DeviantArtist by the name of Rolando Cuevas aka ROCuevas who celebrated his birthday yesterday. So, Rolando, I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I wish you well in everything you do as an artist. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this piece of Powerpuff Girls fanart. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you all the members of Team Xtreme in different martial arts attire. From left to right, we have the following. Brick- Pankration Butch- Muay Thai Boomer- Kickboxing Blossom- Shaolin Kung Fu Buttercup- Kyokushin Karate Bubbles- Capoeira Moreover, as you can tell from the expressions in their eyes, the pairings are Brickercup (Brick x Buttercup), Blossutch (Butch x Blossom), and Boomubbles (Boomer x Bubbles). So, in turn, I dedicate this Team Xtreme martial arts pic to all of the shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles. In my headcanon, Team Xtreme as well as their closest allies and friends Mitch “The Persecutor” Mitchelson, Bunny “The Bouncing Mountain” Utonium-Mitchelson, Harry Pitt, Julie Bean-Pitt, Mike Believe, Robin Snyder-Believe among others practice different types of martial arts including karate, judo, jeet kune do, boxing, taekwondo, Muay Thai, kickboxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts, and jujutsu both Brazilian and Japanese. So when making this picture involving the main Team Xtreme members I had to consider which martial art could complement them in terms of personality, interest, and overall plausibility. For what I got, I definitely enjoyed getting to know the different martial arts and researching about each of them to make them gel these superheroes and to some extent their fighting styles. For Brick, I chose Pankration because this martial art is not only a precursor to mixed martial arts but also has its roots in Ancient Greek history. Since Brick is both street smart and book smart, he would have a great understanding of where Pankration came from as well as the many moves and techniques being used. Thus, he would be able to learn about the history of this Ancient Greek martial art. Moreover, Pankration is considered to be a deadly martial art where it involves combining wrestling and boxing. One can easily imagine Brick not only knowing all the moves by heart but also using it rather effectively in both sparrings and in real-life battles. So, for someone like Brick, strength, smarts, and instinct certainly make him for what he is as a fighter. Butch is an obvious choice for Muay Thai given how warlike, animalistic, and brutal he can be both in his personality and in his fighting style. He is the type of person who fights to live and his life is usually a constant battlefield, where physical and mental strength is an absolute must in order to win. The fact that Muay Thai fighters hit banana trees with their shins in order for them to be strengthened and be rock-hard is actually a phenomenal tidbit that sparked my interest. One can highly doubt that Townsville has any banana trees. So, the Townsville version would have Butch hitting oak trees or any strong tree or any strong material with his shins. Moreover, Butch seems to be a fighter who values close-contact fights, thus applying clinches, elbow strikes, and knee strikes to his opponents. Sure, wrestling could have been a choice for Butch, but I think Muay Thai fits him to a T. In Boomer’s case, I didn’t solely end up with boxing but also kickboxing, given how fast he is with his hands and feet. Boomer seems to be the type of fighter who combines strength and speed and does so in a way in which he can incapacitate his opponents rather effectively. One can easily imagine Boomer delivering different types of punches and kicks from hooks to jabs to uppercuts to roundhouse kicks to crane kicks. Moreover, I can easily imagine him to not just be a very strong fighter who uses muscle but also rapid speed thus making him a force to be reckoned with. Blossom and Shaolin Kung Fu really do go hand-in-hand. On the surface, this has something to do with Blossom’s experience with the Chinese language and even the Chinese culture. So someone who is immersed in Chinese culture as Blossom would also know the two types of Kung Fu namely Shaolin and Wing Chun. Shaolin Kung Fu is definitely up Blossom’s alley because of the monk-like self-discipline, diligence, and warrior’s mindset she bears to live up to this particular style of Kung Fu. Moreover, as a fan of the episode Stuck Up, Up and Away, the way Blossom managed to attack Princess Morbucks is not just elements used in Shaolin Kung Fu but also in Wing Chun Kung Fu, given how close-contact it is. At least, that’s what I presume it to be. Let’s also not forget that scientific studies show that a Shaolin monk’s skull and bones are a lot stronger than those of normal people due to the training they do. So, that principle would definitely apply to Blossom. I went for Kyokushin Karate for Buttercup, as she is someone who applies full-contact attacks on her opponents. Let us also not forget that Kyokushin Karate is very different from Traditional Karate, given that Kyokushin is full-contact but avoids the punching of the face something that Buttercup does to her opponents. Yes, by saying this, Buttercup should have been more fit for MMA, but my headcanon side stated that everyone from Team Xtreme as well as Mitch, Bunny, Harry, and many other of their allies and friends practice MMA. So, with Buttercup, Kyokushin Karate actually ended up being a nice fit for her. Let’s also not forget her experience with the old monk from Makes Zen to Me. I’m fully aware that the old monk practices Shaolin Kung Fu and not Kyokushin Karate, but the variety of attacks Buttercup has as…
