Silico is a mysterious supervillain and a major antagonist of The Powerpuff Girls in the 2016 series. He is the owner of Silico Industries and Techo Industries.

Biography[]

Years prior to the series, Silico was just a lonely child. His parents were never around to comfort him, and he didn't have many friends to play with. But he realized that he was gifted with the knowledge and talents of engineering, which he used to make his own "friends", robots that would keep him company and make him feel loved. One day, he left for the Circuit Barn to pick up some RAM cards for them. Just as he was coming back that same night, The Powerpuff Girls were fighting the Fancy Monster and knocked him into Silico's house, destroying it along with every one of his beloved robots. Distraught after losing so many of his "friends" that night, Silico made a vow that he will destroy The Powerpuff Girls, and he can take any shape.

In "Viral Spiral", after overhearing The Amoeba Boys' plotting to ruin a new internet-based game created by Bubbles, Silico approaches them with an offer for them to make a bigger impact on the internet as a whole. He gives them a microchip that he claims will destroy the internet when placed at its core, which the Amoeba Boys have no interest in until he tells them that it will really annoy The Powerpuff Girls. After the Amoeba Boys fail to place the microchip at the internet's core and are defeated by The Powerpuff Girls, the chip is left behind and small viruses emerge from it, scattering throughout the internet. They transmit large quantities of to Silico's very dark base. There, he claims that "The Powerpuff Girls may have won this battle but they have already lost the war.

In "Halt and Catch Silico", sometime after this, Silico used the information transmitted by his virus to spy on nearly every citizen of Townsville and manipulate the press to turn the public against The Powerpuff Girls via false editorials about them. He even managed to convince the girls that Mojo was cooking kittens, prompting them to wrongfully beat him up. When the Girls discover that Silico Industries is responsible for such slander, they pay a visit to their headquarters and ask for Silico to stop posting false articles about them. Silico reveals himself and refuses because The Powerpuff Girls have wronged him in the past. Buttercup then repeatedly hit the hologram projecting Silico, which Silico describes as a classic example of always resorting to violence to solve problems. He then releases giant robots to fight the girls, who promptly realize that some of them are holograms, making the real ones even harder to defeat. Blossom decided to go after Silico himself, but Silico kept blocking her view with holograms of false editorial posts about her. This angers Blossom to the point of using her energy pins to pierce holes all over Silico's building. She then used another giant pin to destroy the control booth Silico was standing in, causing all of his holograms and robots to shut down. Silico then makes a biting remark about the Powerpuff Girls, saying they always leave a path of destruction wherever they go, just like they did to him. When Blossom asks him what he is talking about, Silico explains that it was them destroying his house and him losing his "friends" when he was a child that makes him seek revenge for so long. But after hearing this, the girls just dismiss it as him wanting to destroy them for "breaking his toys" and claim that he is "messed up". Silico agrees and says they made him that way and will someday return the favor. He then immediately disappears into pixelated particles, leading Buttercup to believe that he was a hologram as well. Later on, when the girls are beating up Mojo (even though they came to apologize to him) because he was trying to turn the kittens into an army, Silico appears on one of Mojo's monitors maniacally laughing.

In "Take Your Kids to Dooms Day" , he appears in this episode first disguised as the Professor's boss, Miss Lacosi. Then he ultimately reveals himself after he stole the Professor's power suit. He also reveals that the workers of Techo Industries were just holograms. He easily defeats the Powerpuff Girls with the power suit, but he is defeated at his own game by the Professor who has his own power suit with a few upgrades and had discovered Silico's plans from the beginning. He gets beaten up by the Professor and is bashed into the stage floor.

In "The Trouble With Bubbles" , sometime later, Silico hacks Bubbles' 3D printer after Bubbles creates a clone of herself and turns the clone against the girls. After the girls thought he was destroyed as he was pushed into the vat by the clone Bubbles, he uploaded himself onto his computer and created a clone of himself disguised as Professor Utonium and laughs evilly as the episode ended. It's unknown what happened to Silico after this episode.

In "Mojo the Great" he is mentioned by Bubbles when she does not understand tat who is theis greatest foe after Mojo (simulating Mayor's voice) says that refering himself.

In "Lights Out!" , he disguises himself as Bliss to celebrate Town-Topia where he gives everyone the Gleep Glerp Zerbom 3000 aka the Bugley. Later that night, the city’s electricity shuts off, due to the fact that Bliss is really Silico in disguise. He appears on the TV screens and tells the Powerpuff Girls about his latest weapon to make people turn against them. The real Bliss joins the Powerpuff Girls and transports them to the library. Silico finds them so he will destroy them and Bliss. But Bubbles gives the Bugley to Silico to be mind-controlled. So he throws a bomb at the Girls, and escaped, leaving the library to explode. After that, he gets sent to the very secured cell of mental asylum for his crimes.

Personality[]

Silico's mannerisms are commonly robotic and manipulative, only speaking in a monotone voice and showing little emotion.

Appearance[]

Silico's entire body, save for his glowing green eyes, is an entirely silhouetted figure, therefore showing little detail of his appearance. He has a slender figure, his head seems to be bald, and he appears to wear a long-sleeved shirt with large cufflinks at the end.

Abilities[]

Although nowhere near as strong as other villains like HIM it is shown that Silico has a genius level intellect when it comes to technology, machinery, or digital electronics.

Trivia[]

  • He loosely resembles The Screenslaver From the Disney-Pixar 2018 film Incredibles 2. Since Silico appeared before The Screenslaver.
  • Silico is considered the most popular villain in the 2016 series, due to his competence and his legitimately threatening characterization.
  • Silico serves as a foil to the original series' villains, Mojo Jojo and Princess Morbucks:
    • Mojo Jojo: Both are evil geniuses and arch-enemies to the Powerpuff Girls, who are also responsible for their path to villainy - Mojo, being Professor Utonium's lab monkey, is indirectly responsible for the creation of the Girls. While the Girls' reckless fighting of a monster destroyed Silico's lab along with his robots, pushed him into becoming a vengeful mastermind. Mojo is one of the more successful villains in the series to the point he has nearly defeated the Powerpuff Girls. Silico was also able to tarnish the Girls' reputation and nearly beaten them in one episode until Professor Utonium turned the tables.
    • Princess: Both have a friendless background and once tarnished the Powerpuff Girls' reputation. Princess's narcissistic and spoiled personality is a detrimental factor to everyone around her, including the Girls, to the point she never had any friends as a result. Silico had a lonely upbringing as a child, and constructed robots; the closest thing he has as his friends. However, his creations were destroyed due to the Girls' reckless monster fighting, fueling his personal vendetta against them.

Gives them a microchip
Bossman: What's this?

Ah, Powerpuff Girls, you may have won this battle, but you have already lost the war.


(Laughing) I win! (The Monitor Shuts off)


"I win.I win! I win! (Silico's final words)"
