Major Man is the main antagonist of The Powerpuff Girls episode "Major Competition".
He is voiced by Jeff Bennett.
What Makes Him Pathetic?[]
- He is a fake superhero who stages crimes and disasters so he can gain admiration and glory as a hero.
- He shows no real concern for the lives he endangers through his staged heroics, these include setting the city of Townsville on fire, breaking the train tracks, and kicking a puppy into the street that could have gotten run-over.
- He took the being the protector of Townsville from the Powerpuff Girls and got the Mayor to replace the Powerpuff Girls hotline with his and when the Mayor feels bad about it he makes him forget about it like it's not a big deal.
- Even though he has superpowers he is nothing more than a lazy, glory-seeking and incompetent "superhero".
- He is completely unable to defeat Fred, the giant monster attacking Townsville (actually a friend of the girls who agreed to help them expose Major Man as the phony attention seeker he is). This also suggests that despite being superhuman, he is rather weak compared to the girls, as Fred wasn't even trying to seriously injure or kill him.
- He cowardly begs for help when he's being beat up by by Fred and admits to being a fraud so the girls will save him.
What Makes Him a Pinhead?[]
- His cousin was shown to be a bit of a poor actor as a robber when threatening an old lady (who was his grandmother), and his lines that Buttercup marks as corny are so bad that they're a bit suspicious as well.
- He slips up and admits on the news that the Mayor would never be able to get to crime scenes as fast as him, saying and I quote "You'd have to know about it in advance like I do". This is what first makes the girls and even the Mayor (who is often childish and unintelligent) suspect that there's something fishy about him, which is a major act of idiocy.
- He almost repeats the above said mistake when the Mayor calls him to take care of a giant monster attacking Townsville, stating "Impossible! I didn't set up for any-" before being cut off.
- Even if the girls set up the monster attack with their friend Fred, if Major Man had done some research into the city of Townsville, he would know that it is constantly attacked by monsters and villains that the girls easily defeat, so it wouldn't take long before his charade was exposed.
