The CW’s “Powerpuff Girls” reboot has cast Donald Faison as Professor Utonium, the creator of the kid superhero team.

From Warner Bros. Television, the new version of the beloved Cartoon Network series created by Craig McCracken follows heroines Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup as “disillusioned twentysomethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime-fighting. Will they agree to reunite now that the world needs them more than ever?”

Faison’s Drake Utonium finds himself at a midlife crisis and is “determined to repair his relationships with his now-adult daughters.” As previously announced, Chloe Bennet will play Blossom, Dove Cameron is Bubbles and Yana Perrault is Buttercup.
