Background[]

Abilities[]

History[]
In "Tough Love" and many other episodes, it is shown that he is very fond of pickles, and his little hat. He also seems to be fond of bananas. He is almost completely stupid, and without the Powerpuff Girls or Sara Bellum to guide him, Townsville would have been destroyed long ago. The Mayor is married to a woman who looks very much like him, although apparently their marriage is a rather lame one and he rarely mentions her. He appears to dislike his wife pretty much.
In the episode "Powerpuff Bluff", he is willing to trade his wife in exchange for a "priceless, very rare, one-of-a-kind" porcelain poodle. He is rather shown to have a deep attraction to his attractive deputy, Miss Bellum, and shows to get greatly aroused when she is around him and shows great depression when she is supposedly kidnapped in "Something's a Ms.".
He has more than one telephone, in fact, has many, several telephones. In "Geshundfight", he had lots of telephones because he heard all his Congressmen telling him that they will have to absent for a supposed meeting in the Conference Hall because they were sick. Also, in "Down n' Dirty", he had lots of complaints that he must do something about an awful smell, later revealed to actually be Buttercup's filthy body, and he said "Do you think I'm blind?" to the people when they kept telling him to smell it, even though he meant "anosmic", not "blind".
Chronologically speaking the Powerpuff Hotline (the phone used by Mayor to contact the Powerpuff Girls when Townsville is in need) has been an element closely attached to the mayor since the Powerpuff Girls movie. The phone has a red-handle, invisible pushing buttons, a calling light-bulb-like nose, and some eyes, with a smile. The phone could have a mind of its own; on rare occasions, it has changed expression. Fuzzy Lumpkins had replaced it with a can-like string phone in the episode "Impeach Fuzz".
His body was switched with Bubbles' body in "Criss Cross Crisis", but his voice still remained.
In The Powerpuff Girls Movie, he had a minor role, and his first words most likely to be obnoxiously heard towards the main audience was "Oh boy," and did not actually know the Girls were creating mass destruction, because he had to get a pickle and then go back to his work.
He was later kidnapped by Mojo Jojo in his attempt to overthrow the Earth and make it the Planet of the Apes, a parody of the 1968 novel Planet of the Apes. The Mayor survived the subsequent coup by Mojo's minions and apologized for accusing the Powerpuff Girls as criminals and putting Professor Utonium in jail after he did not let Professor explain enough to him. According to the Mayor, he saw Mojo Jojo become a giant monster and fighting the Powerpuff Girls climbing the tallest building in Townsville and is convinced they would be great heroes. He was later assassinated by Mojo Jojo.

Trivia[]
- The Mayor of Townsville is voiced by Tom Kenny, who is best known for voicing SpongeBob from SpongeBob SquarePants and Cupid from The Fairly OddParents. He also voices the Narrator.
- He has an extreme obsession over pickles and even accused the Powerpuff Girls as "pickle cart killers" in The Powerpuff Girls Movie.
- He hates it when somebody wears his hat. In "Impeach Fuzz", it is shown that if his hat is worn by anyone other than himself, he will become vicious and just as powerful as the Powerpuff Girls. This was also seen in a DVD feature with him in the commentary (Tom Kenny of course voicing him) for the episode where Princess becomes the mayor and wears his hat.
- The Mayor likes his job, despite the fact he is completely clueless of what he needs to do.
- He declared "Pretzel Wednesday" in the episode "The Rowdyruff Boys".
- His appearance (specifically his nose and mustache) inspired Mung Daal in the Cartoon Network series Chowder.
- In Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, not only did he serve as hosting duties alongside Miss Bellum, but his favorite show is Ed, Edd n Eddy.
- He kept a big bowl of candy in his office until the episode "Candy Is Dandy".
- In "Impeach Fuzz", it is likely that he owns the pig seen in the episode, or he stole the pig from Fuzzy Lumpkins after he beat him up.
- It is shown in "Night Mayor" that he dreams of being buff and very clever. He lives in Picklesville, a town made entirely out of pickles. Everyone there has the same face as him. He saves the day---and then it turns into a complete nightmare because the Powerpuff Girls beat up and jar a giant, monstrous pickle that he said he was going to give a hug.
- He likes his toast with the crusts cut off, as shown in "Toast of the Town". It is also shown in the same episode that he tends to act childishly when he doesn't get his way.
- In "Powerpuff Bluff", he falsely arrests the real Powerpuff Girls instead of the goons who dressed up as the Powerpuff Girls, probably he misunderstands what Miss Bellum explanation about. He was supposed to be suspended as Mayor of Townsville for false arrest.
- In episode 51 of Powerpuff Girls Z, a caveman version of the Mayor that is closer to the original design does make a brief appearance.
- The original design for the Mayor in Powerpuff Girls Z, was closer to the original. He was also named "Mayor Mayer"
- The Mayor was inspired by Rich Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly.
- Although he remains dim and dull-witted as in the original series, he is less dependent on Miss Bellum as she is away, as he was able to rescue the girls from Monster Island, and saved them in a later episode.
- Unlike his original design, his hat is placed on his head rather than floating.
- In the original series, the blue sash which has written 'Mayor' was wearing on his front, but in the reboot, the word 'Mayor' has been disappeared.
- The Mayor is shown to have two doppelgängers. The first is Baron Von Mayorsly of Citytropolis, which is mentioned in "People Pleaser". The next instance happened in "Summer Bummer", where his doppelgänger is the Beach Mayor. This doppelgänger may also be based on the fact that he often draws himself with large muscles, alluding to the 1998 series.
- His job responsibilities are judging the Townsville Flair Pageant, opening the Townsville Pickle Museum and controlling the Townsville electrical grid.
- His top secret is that he likes to skinny-dip.
- His proudest moment is when he tamed the monsters on Monster Island by feeding them pickles.
- His rival is Baron Von Mayorsly of Citytropolis.
