Mr. Mime is a minor antagonist from The Powerpuff Girls.
He is a black and white clown who was only featured in the episode, "Mime for a Change" and the villainous alter-ego of Rainbow the Clown, who transformed into Mister Mime after a freak accident with a bleach truck.
His original persona as Rainbow the Clown was voiced by Tom Kenny, who also played the Ice King from Adventure Time, Commander Peepers and General McGuffin in Wander Over Yonder, the Common Cold and Knightbrace in Codename: Kids Next Door, Dr. Two-Brains in WordGirl, Starscream in Transformers: Animated, Mumbo Jumbo in both Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go, Reverend Rosty in Brickleberry, Doctor Octopus in Ultimate Spider-Man and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and Benito Mussolini in Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio.
Biography
Mr. Mime first appeared in the episode "Mime for A Change" when he sought to eliminate all color from Townsville, reducing it to black and white, which in turn drained the city of its vibrancy and happiness. He was eventually reverted back to his normal self by the Powerpuff Girls, but was still beaten up and sent to jail regardless. Rainbow was seen in the later episode "Birthday Bash" as an entertainer at the girls' birthday party, meaning that he had at least been released early and was on good terms with the girls. Yet his alter-ego, Mr. Mime, appeared in "Brought And Scold" and "Daylight Savings".
Trivia
- Mr. Mime is possibly named after the Pokémon of the same name, due to the fact that both Pokémon and The Powerpuff Girls were (and still are) popular at the time.
- According to Craig Mccracken, He originally had the girls let Rainbow go due to him not being in control of his actions as Mr. Mime but the Cartoon Network executives had it change so that he would pay the consequences for turning Townsville into a Black and White town with no sounds.
