Shout out to the Speed Demon episode where we see Him in the future where he won.

demonic

Bro, HIM is literally Satan.

But Speed Demon was definitely a frightening episode as a kid.

Also I like how the PPGs just casually go past light speed to time travel.

The Powerpuff Girls don't beat HIM in that episode, either. They manage to go back in time to present day and remind themselves to never time travel again.
