Four crime fighters are better than three!
On Sunday, as part of a five-part special, The Powerpuff Girls introduced a new character: Blisstina, or Bliss for short!
The new heroine is the long-lost older sister of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, and is the first black superhero of Townsville!

The character has quite the past: not only was she created by Professor Utonium during an earlier experiment to create the perfect girl, she was once best friends with villain Mojo Jojo! Oh no!
After the episode aired, Twitter users had mixed reactions. Some had issues with her name, while others thought it was a lackluster attempt to address the lack of diversity in the show.

White ppl's answer to the diversity #racism issue:
Make a new powerpuff girl
Make her black
Call her BLISSTINA
Let an Asian woman voice her.

I love it how the producers of PPG made Bliss (Blisstina) be something that is happening in our society like racism and discrimination. pic.twitter.com/5LEezCx13w

Really? Blisstina?
Bliss was fine. Don't add the -tina.
