Last night I dreamt of a show that is an AU of the powerpuff girls, but genderbent. The show started on Tumblr before being produced as a show. It has only 3 episodes before it got cancelled, not because of the platform or anything. The show was really good. But the original creator dropped it because of some personal reasons and the show didn't air. It was only available in a disk with bonus content like animation process and scenes.

Anyway, the three boys have superpowers but it expands more than flight. They have their shared ability of flight and laser eyes but their colours (pink, blue, green) correspond to different abilities.

The story goes that the triplets decided to leave home one day, leaving the professor behind with no warning or explanation. This leaves him heartbroken and lonely until he marries someone new, a biologist, and has a son with her.

Years later, the boys return suddenly, grown up and sporting a new punk like style. Their behavior is rough, crass, and it's like the years apart have hardened them. They also grew into their powers, adding another ability to manipulate their surrounding with telekinesis and rebuilding matter, but that's limited.

The professor is concerned at their new behavioe but wants to have the boys back in his life. Only, the triplets don't seem to be interested. They don't tell the professor why they've come back. Instead, they went off to go find a job.

Ep 2, when they find a job at a bad restaurant, the triplets waste no time to remodel the place with their new powers. They turn the broken and worn down restaurant into a new and clean place. They intimidate the current staff but they work well, seemingly trying to do good despite looking like villains.

Ep 3, they meet the professor's wife and their son. The son looks like a typical bully, like Burford from PnF, which the triplets take note of and immediately decide to intimidate him first. Their facade drops when the son turns out to be sweet and the triplets immediately become sweet and nice to him, taking him as their younger brother.

Small detail, the green one has a bit of trouble using his powers because he overused it in training a few years ago and now has problems with it. His abilities are now limited and he has a bald spot on his head which he covers with a cap. He relies on his siblings to share their powers with him so he doesn't look weak.

The pink one is the strongest and capable of showcasing great control over his powers, like Gwen from Ben 10 Alien Force.

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

and they have become part of his morning routine: a shot of hot coffee in his favorite white mug, his seat by the sunlit kitchen window and some quick research on his phone that will decide if he can go out that day.

“I wish I wouldn’t have to do it. But for me, unfortunately, when the air is bad, my throat goes tight. My eyes water. Suzy gets headaches,” Haldeman said, referring to his wife, Suzy Hamme.

Retired and in their 70s, Haldeman and Hamme can’t afford to take chances. They’re both sensitive to pollution and doctors recently found a lump in Haldeman’s right lung that restricts his breathing.

Haldeman’s apps include the EPA’s own AirNow, as well as the independently run Purple Air, which collects data from low-cost sensors purchased and installed by users of the app, one of which is hanging by the shed in their backyard in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

“The federal one, the AirNow app, is never as precise as our Purple Air monitor here,” Haldeman said, noting that AirNow frequently underreports the pollution in their area. “I think it’s because, on their own, they have so few testing stations and the one that’s closest to us is 10 miles away.” 

Haldeman’s hunch aligns with a troubling reality. According to new research from the University of California, Berkeley, more than 20 million people live in urban neighborhoods across the U.S. that are air-quality “blind spots”—areas experiencing dangerous levels of soot pollution subject to the government’s standard but don’t have enough government sensors to flag it.

These blind spots comprise 44 percent of all urban areas in the U.S. that are projected to have hazardous air pollution.

“There are around 1,000 regulatory monitors in the U.S., but it’s far from enough,” said Yuzhou Wang, a postdoctoral fellow in environmental engineering at Berkeley and the chief author of the new assessment. Wang, who grew up experiencing thick smog in China, mapped the blind spots with the help of data from satellites, including traffic corridors and locations of pollution sources like factories.
