1829. Professor Antonio Utonium

Professor Antonio Utonium (voiced by Tom Kane) is a brilliant scientist who works in his home in the suburbs of Townsville. A stereotypical scientist, his general attire is a white lab coat and black pants with pens tucked into the lab coat's breast pocket. He is the creator of The Powerpuff Girls by accidentally infusing his "Perfect Girl Concoction" with a mysterious substance called "Chemical X". The Professor is a genius in many fields of science, having shown knowledge in fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology as well as being a skilled inventor (inventing things such as a giant bipedal Powerpuff robot called the D.Y.N.A.M.O, which caused more damage than the monster that attacked the city and a super suit that allowed him to fight crime with the girls). Aside from his role as a scientist, he acts as the parental figure in The Powerpuff Girls' lives (doing things a normal father would like preparing lunches for them to take to school or cheering up his "daughters" when they've been hurt). The Professor can be odd, silly, clumsy, easily manipulated and over-protective at times, but still retains his caring father figure image. The Professor once housed a chimpanzee as a lab assistant named Jojo (later to become the girls' arch-enemy, Mojo Jojo) who proved to be reckless and destructive. He pushed the Professor while he was stirring his Perfect Girl concoction, causing him to break through a glass of Chemical X which spilled into the formula, thus creating the Powerpuff Girls. His catchphrase is "I made It!" which is seen in such episodes and specials "Uh Oh Dynamo" and "Powerpuff Girls Rule". In the initial seasons The Professor was seen with a tobacco pipe which was later dropped.
