Wat.
Well, that's sure... interesting?
Except for the fact that one was a modern-day scientist and the other was born long before mankind even harnessed steam power...sure, why not?

Isn't Samurai Jack more of a post-apocalyptic scenario? I'm pretty sure we had a few sci-fi flying-car city episodes.

Sorta-kinda. It takes place in the far future where evil rules, but civilization is still running. So I'm not entirely sure "post-apocalyptic" is the correct term.

There are shots in Samurai Jack where you can cleary make out ruined features from cities presnet in the PowerPuff girls - such as a billboard with the aforementioned superchildren on it.

The only thing that could possibly prove is that PowerPuff Girls and Samurai Jack take place in the same, or very similar, universes.

Which begs the kinda horrific question: What happened to the PPG? Did they try to fight Aku? Why aren't they around anymore?

Do we even know if they can age? They have all sorts of ridiculous powers, why not immortality?

They have been proven to have weaknesses, so it could very well be that they were destroyed by some sort of collaborative effort of the Big Bads.

Wait...

WAIT!

Theory: The Big Bads joined the Cult of Aku and summoned him into this world to defeat the power puff girls!

Didn't Aku show up back in Jack's original time, though? Unless there's even more serious time-fuckery going on behind the scenes...


Idea! The villains all team up to summon Aku, who kills the PPG and wrecks the present. Dr. Utonium builds a time machine, intending to go back before the summoning and warn his daughters, but something goes wrong and he is sent into the distant past. Once there, he gradually assimilates, gaining martial ability to match his scientific talent. Eventually Aku manages to track him down and travel back, invading the past, at which point Samurai Jack begins. Jack/Utonium isn't just trying to kill Aku to free human civilization, he's seeking revenge for his daughters.

Which kinda' bugger's Jack's in-series background right to blazes. Which... sure? That's what the AU tag is for, after all.

Jack being U's many-times-great grandfatheruncle or something might fit, though. Assuming Aku left any of Jack's kin around to breed. Honestly, what you'd probably end up dealing with is some kind of multiversal shenanigans, not time travel. And then probably some kind of freakish Utonium/Jack selfcest pairing.

Because if there's anything fanfiction has taught me, it's that multiverse interaction inevitably leads to extremely convoluted acts of incest. Thanks, Bader! You bastard.

Yeah, I know it buggered up the SJ backstory. Hm. Potential solution: Dr. U. is actually Jack's father. All of that social assimilation happened, and Dr. U. used his scientific talents to (among other things) craft the katana that Jack inherited from him. It's probably a monomolecular blade forged from some sort of insanely strong alloy. That would also explain why someone in a plainly Asian society would name their son Jack (barring the SJ Earth being some sort of insane cultural mishmash).

So here's the timeline:

-Dr. Utonium creates PPG.
-Aku is summoned to original timeline, kills PPG.
-Dr. U. travels back in time, arrives a few decades before the opening events of Samurai Jack.
-Dr. U. uses his scientific talent and future knowledge to form an empire in the 'verse's version of feudal Japan.
-Jack, Dr. U.'s son, is born.
-Aku travels to the past, kills Dr U. and destroys his empire.
-Jack does his training montage, reclaims Dr. U.'s katana, and SJ begins.

Thus, Jack and the Powerpuff Girls are siblings.

Except that "Jack" isn't his real name. It's a name he chose to call himself after some local future-slang.

Of course, you still have to question why Jack and the people in the future speak the exact same language, but that is a question for another day :P
