The Gangreen Gang is an antagonistic group of five green-skinned teenagers, named Ace, Snake, Big Billy, Grubber, and Little Arturo. Ace is the leader of the bunch. Snake hisses like an actual snake. Big Billy is the largest, fattest, and dumbest of the bunch. Grubber can't speak properly, but he can change his voice around. Little Arturo is the smallest member. They are supporting antagonists in The Powerpuff Girls, and are the secondary antagonists of the 2002 theatrical film, The Powerpuff Girls Movie.
The Powerpuff Girls Movie
According to "The Powerpuff Girls Movie", the Gangreen Gang are the first villains the girls ever encountered. Later, they are also the first villains (aside Mojo Jojo) the girls fight after they are welcomed as superheroes. This is when the gang are robbing an old lady who was shopping and eating her groceries. Then after being fought, they are put in jail with Mojo Jojo and Fuzzy Lumpkins.

Members


Ace's appearance.
Mr. Jack Wednesday
Mr. Wednesday is a one time truant officer in Schoolhouse Rocked. He runs into the Gangreen Gang and sends them to Pokey Oaks kindergarten (the PowerPuff Girls' school) after finding that none of them have ever been to school. After the Gangreen Gang get beat up by the PowerPuff Girls for all the trouble they caused, Wednesday comes to take them away, but not before being hit in the face with a dodge ball by Ms. Keane (Pokey Oaks' teacher).
Ace
Ace sports a long, straight, greasy, slick-back hairdo, a scraggly mustache, a colored vest-jacket, a pair of shades and even fangs. When he speaks, he sounds like the typical juvenile delinquent—mean, obnoxious, and disrespectful. He has a nasally Italian New Yorker accent. As the Gang's smartest member, he is the instigator of most of their antisocial activities, and he does possess a certain charismatic charm that allows him to sweet-talk people who ought to know better, such as Ms. Keane and even Buttercup in the episode Buttercrush. His full name is Ace D. Copular. He is 17 years old - the oldest of the Gang. In Power Lunch, he had cryokinesis (referencing his coolness), the ability to generate ice and snow, similar to Blossom's ice breath. He is also the best looking one of the gang.
He is voiced by Jeff Bennett, who also played Big Billy and Grubber.
Snake

Snake
In "Power Lunch" his special ability was stretching long distances and strangling people like a real snake. He is 15 years old and is the second oldest in the gang. His real name is Sandford D. Ingleberry.
He is voiced by Tom Kenny.
Grubber

Grubber
He is voiced by Jeff Bennett, who also played Big Billy and Ace.
Big Billy

Big Billy
Big Billy loves to eat and will gobble more junk than the rest of the gang. In one episode, he was saved by the Powerpuff Girls and began following them everywhere out of sheer gratitude, but eventually he became more of a hindrance then a help and he returned to the gang, in which they plan on getting revenge on the Powerpuff Girls, even almost killing them. In "Power Lunch", he can transform into a rock, referencing his intelligence.
He is voiced by Jeff Bennett, who also played Ace and Grubber.
Lil' Arturo

Lil' Arturo
He sounds very much like Señor Wences. He carries around a switchblade-styled comb he refers to as his daughter and calls "Maria". He has a rather prominent underbite. His full name is Arturo De La Guerra, which is Spanish for "The Art of War", a reference to the work of Chinese philosopher Sun-Tzu. He is 14 years old - the youngest of the Gang. In "Power Lunch", his superpower is super-speed, referencing his energetic personality.
He is voiced by Carlos Alazraqui in his debut episode, and Tom Kenny in other episodes.
