Some of the greatest experiments have unintentional results, sometimes for the best. This was the case with Professor Utonium's attempt to create a perfect little girl. He combined sugar, spice and everything nice but accidentally added in something called Chemical X. This gave his young girls incredible superpowers.

That's how the Powerpuff Girls were created.

Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup are three kindergarten aged girls who fight the worst bad guys the world has to offer. On top of that, they still deal with all the problems kids their age would normally have. Professor Utonium's daughters have become some of animation's greatest heroes. That might not have been what Utonium set to do but his accidental achievement outstrips his intended goal.
