Lenny Baxter is the main antagonist of the episode "Collect Her" of The Powerpuff Girls. He is a greedy comic book geek with a huge obsession with the Powerpuff Girls, and owns every piece of Powerpuff Girls merchandise ever made.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Lenny has a tall forehead, a small amount of brown hair (with most of it tied into a ponytail), small hairs for his beard, visible red spots on his neck, and buck teeth.
He wears a black t-shirt, orange shorts, blue shoes, a green fanny pack, and thin-framed glasses with vaguely semi-circle shaped lenses.
Personality[]
Lenny is obsessed with the Powerpuff Girls, and goes to extreme lengths to add to his collection, being in total disbelief when he realizes he has collected every piece of Powerpuff merchandise. He has no concern over social endeavors, preferring being in the presence of his massive collection of merchandise. Lenny refuses to open the packages of his items, because he claims it would destroy the items' collectors' value.
History[]
In "Collect Her", Lenny is introduced alongside his sizable haven of merchandise. Among the items in his collection are the "Buttercup Beat-You-Up Boxing Gloves", the "Bubbles Spits-a-Lot Fountain", the "Blossom I'm-So-Smart Encyclopedia collection", and the Powerpuff cheese and sausage collection.
After officially completing his Powerpuff Girl merchandise collection but still finding his collecting is not satiated, Lenny secretly collects the Powerpuff Girls's personal belongings. He eventually captures the Girls themselves, and puts them in packages to hide them away. The girls were saved by Professor Utonium and the citizens of Townsville, who raided Lenny's room and proceeded to tear open his packages until he released the girls.
Lenny Baxter can be seen in the opening sequence of the series, despite being a one-time villain, long predating his official debut in the show.
Lenny later made a cameo appearance in "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!", being one of many villains searching for the Key to the World.
