The Ministry of Pain are characters in The Powerpuff Girls. They reside at Pokey Folks, with several other old people.
They are first seen in "Fallen Arches" when Mastermind gets his old villain team back together. Blossom prevents Buttercup and Bubbles from fighting them since they have to respect their elders. Instead they call Captain Righteous and Lefty to fight them, but this results in both heroes and villains getting injured and being rushed to the hospital. The News report about the incident cause Buttercup and Bubbles to glare at their sister, thinking she was wrong to have encouraged them to get the former heroes instead of letting the Powerpuff Girls handle the case their way. Ashamed, Blossom slides down, looking embarrassed.
