We all know Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles but get ready because there’s a fourth Powerpuff Girl coming…

Yes, you heard that right, despite being a trio since their debut on Cartoon Network in 1998, it seems there’s a fourth member sitting in the wings, waiting for their moment in the spotlight.

Cartoon Network will unveil the as-yet-unnamed fourth Powerpuff girl in the premiere episode of the five-part movie event, The Powerpuff Girls: Power of Four, airing Sunday, Sept. 17 at 5:30 p.m. ET.

We have this image:

Which, in fairness, doesn’t tell us much but we’re betting she’ll have a name beginning with ‘B’.

While there’s no confirmation if this character will be a permanent addition to the team, we’re guessing it’ll come down to numbers, reactions etc, but we’d not rule out the team being a quartet moving forward.

Thoughts?

UPDATE:

An image (bottom) of the new Powerpuff Girl who is black with long blue hair has appeared online. We still have no real details on her – name, character, voice, etc – although we’re hearing she will indeed be voiced by a black actress. We’ll keep you posted, gang…

UPDATE 2:

The new character will be voiced by pianist, producer, and singer-songwriter Toya Delazy.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
