[edit] Ancient One

The Ancient One is a Japanese ninjutsu master, who trained Hamato Yoshi, making him akin to a "grandfather" to Master Splinter and a "great-grandfather" to the Turtles. He is a short, fat, elderly man, who has two different appearances during the course of the series. Back when he trained Yoshi, he had long silver hair and a beard, and wore a green robe. When he met Leonardo, his appearance had changed considerably. He was now almost bald, though it was concealed by a hat, and he wore a disgustingly revealing vest and sumo-like diaper.

The Ancient One took Yoshi and his friend Yukio Mashimi under his wing when the former returned a coin the old man had dropped. He trained them in the arts of ninjutsu, and they became like a family. The Ancient One also adopted a young girl named Tang Shen, who later on fell in love with Hamato Yoshi. Against the old man's wishes, Hamato Yoshi left his former master to become a Guardian of the Utroms, but the feelings were mutual. The Ancient One was also responsible for the naming of a Tokyo rat that Tang Shen had rescued - Splinter.

In the Ancient One's first appearance, Leonardo is sent to him for training by Splinter, after Leonardo's anger over the fight with Shredder causes him to injure his sensei whilst sparring. Leonardo finds him while travelling down a country path, but does not realise it is the Ancient One. His flatulence and annoying personality is also something of disgust to Leonardo as well as his unsanitary habits (he is once seen picking his nose) and his craving for chocolate. However, this is presumably an act to prevent Leonardo from realising who he is, as he does not display these characteristics later on. When the two arrive at the Ancient One's dojo, Leonardo fights with a rock creature, whom he later discovers is a mystical representation of his anger. He immediately realises that the old man was the Ancient One himself. When they sit down to talk, the Ancient One asks what the purpose of training was. He reprimands Leonardo for a lengthy explanation and asks the young turtle to "explain simply." He appears in the following episode "Scion of the Shredder," where he has a premonition of doom, and urges Leonardo to return to his family. The Ancient One's next appearance was in a mysterious underground chamber in Japan. He announced himself, claiming that he had come to plead for the Turtles. He was then consulted by multiple shadowy entities, who all seem to resemble the Shredder.

His last appearance was in the season finale of Season Four, where he entered the Turtles' lair. When Splinter tells him the Turtles are out on an exercise run, the Ancient One claims he is too late. He is later seen on the rooftop the Turtles fought the wood creatures, claiming that Splinter's wish to find his sons is impossible.

The Ancient One also makes an appearance in the "lost" Season Five of the series. He travels with Splinter to the Ninja Tribunal's monastery, because Splinter initially distrusts the Ninja Tribunal and wishes to take his sons home. The Ancient One implicitly states that he was trained in ninjitsu by members of the Ninja Tribunal.

[edit] Angel

As a youth growing up in Casey Jones' neighborhood, Angel comes under the influence of a street gang known as the Purple Dragons. She quickly becomes involved in thefts as part of her initiation and soon finds herself fighting in a wrestling ring to become a full-fledged member. Casey comes to her aid when he and the Turtles infiltrate a Purple Dragon hideout and pull Angel off her path of delinquency. Angel then becomes a close friend of the Turtles.

Angel returns to the Turtles when her older brother goes missing during a construction job, which leads the Turtles to the Volpehart Building and an extraterrestrial creature that forces them to confront their own fear.

Angel also appeared at the Turtles' lair for Christmas. She and Raph tried to get April under the mistle toe for Casey.

Angel's most recent relation to the Turtles was serving as a message carrier after their lair was destroyed by Karai and the Foot.

Angel has been seen in 4 episodes:

1. Fallen Angel
2. The Christmas Aliens
3. The Darkness Within
4. Prodigal Son

[edit] Armaggon

Armaggon is a mutant shark from the future. He appears in the Archie Comics version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His name is said to be an intentional misspelling of Armageddon, but sometime the misspelling itself is misspelled with only one 'g', making it closer to the original.

[edit] Aska

Aska is a female ninja in the game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. She enters the tournament to win money so she can open her own dojo. She is actually an original character created by the developers specifically for the game, presumably due to the lack of female fighters in the mainstream TMNT universe. Fans of the TMNT Archie comics see that Ninjara (an anthropomorphic female ninja fox character) would had been a much better choice to keep with the heavy Archie theme of the rest of the game. Other fans see that Lotus Blossom from the 1987 series would had been in the game, instead of Aska (and to a lesser extent, April just as she did in the Genesis version).

However there are many theories on why this character was created; some believe that as the game was made in Japan where the Ninja Turtles were hardly known despite several incarnations of the franchise over there (like the OAV anime Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-hen), she was included so the programmers would not feel alienated while working on a western franchise like TMNT and bring contrast with her as an anime influence. Also perhaps related to this theory, was that as the game would be released in Japan too; she was included to attract Japanese audiences who might feel alienated as well from the TMNT concept.

Among Aska's attacks one of them consists of launching herself towards her opponent, using her buttocks. In the Japanese release, she wears thongs while in the western version she uses some larger tight shorts; and her victory celebration is longer in which her breasts bounce. So far this is her only appearance in any kind of entertainment media. It is quite possible that Konami holds the rights on her, so any future appearance would depend on the company and it could be possible that she would not appear on anything TMNT related again. However it should be brought into consideration that maybe both Konami and Mirage Studios hold the rights on the character; so both companies would have to agree on her return.

Due to her charm, she has quite an underground fan following; and it is still in debate wheter her name should be rather spelled as Asuka. Her uniform design is rather similar to that of Racheal from the Martial Champions videogame. She might also be an inspiration for the cocky role of Asuka Kazama in Tekken 5.

[edit] Bebop

Main article: Bebop and Rocksteady

[edit] Constable Biggles

Aloysius Biggles is Chief Constable of 2105's New York City's police force, the Peace-Keepers. A tall, golden-hued robot with a stereotypically-British accent and vernacular, he is more concerned with proper procedure than in actual results. Ironically, he has managed to establish a working relationship with super-hero the Turtle Titan, despite a clear distaste for his vigilantism, because he "makes my job much easier".

Biggles has had several encounters with the turtles, most of them rocky. Despite the destruction they have caused, Biggles has not yet made a serious attempt at arresting them, presumably because of the influence exerted by Cody Jones and Darius Dun.

Constable Biggles is played by Sean Schemmel. He appears regularly in TMNT: Fast Forward.

[edit] Bishop

Main article: Agent Bishop

[edit] General Blanque

General Blanque is the leader of the Federation, and the counterpart of Triceraton Prime Leader Zanramon.

General Blanque wanted Professor Honeycutt to build the Teleportal Device so that he could use it against the Triceraton Empire. However, the peace-loving Honeycutt refused to allow one of his devices to be used for war. Blanque's luck changed when an accident left Honeycutt's mind in the body of a robot. Due to the Federation's lack of rights for robots, Blanque could capture Honeycutt and extract the Teleportal blueprints without legal repercussions.

Blanque's plans were foiled by Honeycutt's resourcefullness and the aid of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Furthermore, Triceraton forces arrived and abducted Honeycutt, given the professor's location by Blanque's own personal lieutenant. However, Blanque was able to locate Honeycutt and the Turtles when they appeared on "Triceraton Gladiators", a Triceraton combat program and the number one rated show on D'Hoonib.

The Federation Fleet appeared in the path of Honeycutt's escape vessel just in time to run into the Triceraton Armada. Harsh words were exchanged between Blanque and the Triceraton Commander, and the argument broiled into all out combat despite Leonardo's truce attempts. Fortunately for the Turtles and Honeycutt, they were beamed to safety by the Utroms.

Sadly, the Turtles and Honeycutt had not seen the last of Blanque. After the initial Triceraton invasion, Honeycutt returned to Earth from the Utrom homeworld. The Triceratons detected this and returned in force, but the Federation had beaten them to it. Joining forces with Agent Bishop, Blanque helped him capture the Turtles for his genetic research in exchange for Honeycutt. However, Blanque discovered that Honeycutt had destroyed his Teleportal plans. The Professor then proceeded to sacrifice himself, beaming a virus into the combat engaged Federation Fleet. At that same instant, the honorable Triceraton Traximus led a revolution aboard the Triceraton flagship, deposing Zanramon and bringing an end to the war. Blanque was last seen in a cell neighboring that of Zanramon, and the two continue their aggression towards each other with insults and attempts to get through the cell wall to attack each other.

General Blanque is voiced by Mike Pollock.

[edit] Bloodsucker

Bloodsucker is the name of a minor character created by Rick Veitch in Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book. He first appeared in issue #24. This is the first installment of "The River" story arc, issues #24-26. He is a mutated leech with relative intelligence and great physical power. He has taken on an anthropomorphic appearance, and retains the sucking ability of a leech, greatly intensified by his size. His mutation is result of exposure to the mutagen in Raphael's bloodstream.

While exploring an underwater cave on a training mission, the Turtles find a small cache of baby turtles. Raphael notices a leech attached to one of the turtles, and removes it with great disgust. The other Turtles find this amusing, and place the leech on Raphael's foot. He removes it, and although unamused, allows it to live, respecting it's place in nature.

The next day, Master Splinter has a disturbing vision of a large, malignant leech-like creature so powerful that it frightens his students (which is out of character; Master Splinter is usually the pinnacle of calm and contemplation) and makes Raphael faint in shock and surprise.

The Turtles return to the river, with Raphael displaying his usual animosity towards the verbal jabs by his brothers from the leech incident, notices a large snapping turtle fighting with something in the river. They begin to chase it, trapping it in small cave. Raphael stays to watch it as the other Turtles go to retrieve their weapons to defeat the creature. Leo, Don, and Mike return with Master Splinter, only to find Raphael again unconscious in the river. When turned over, the now much large leech is affixed to his back. It has now grown arms and legs, and is much more formidable size.

[edit] Bog Swamp Demon

A demon named Bauggroth manages to escape the lower depths. He becomes the swamp monster known as Bog Swamp Demon.

[edit] Carter

Carter is a teenager who appears in the 1987 cartoon from season nine (1995). Carter is a collage student who was exposed to mutagen and can mutate into a giant anime-like creature. He was able to stabilize his mutation near the end of the series .

[edit] Dr. Chaplin

Similar to earlier versions of Baxter Stockman, Chaplin replaces him in the Foot Clan science division following numerous failures by Stockman. Despite this, Chaplin considers Stockman to be his idol, and much of his work is based on that of Dr. Stockman.

Chaplin first appeared when the Shredder had plans to retrieve a Triceraton power generator from a crashed ship. Hoping to impress the Shredder, Chaplin demonstrated his special Amazonian mechs, giant fighting robots that were styled after Karai, Shredder's adoptive daughter and a possible crush of Chaplin's. The mechs proved unable to defeat the Turtles, but Shredder was impressed with Chaplin's work. Much to Stockman's dismay, he found himself shoved aside, rather like Hun following the debut of Karai.

Chaplin was later dispatched by the Shredder to recover a Triceraton anti-gravity generator from Beijing. During the mission, he provided Baxter Stockman's brain with a new exo-suit. He also introduced an improved version of Stockman's Mouser robots. They proved unable to beat the Turtles, and Chaplin's inexperience with alien technology nearly led to the destruction of the city.

Chaplin was also the captain of Shredder's space vessel as it departed Earth's atmosphere. He expressed his enthusiasm for the job, not even bothered by Shredder's true Utrom identity. He continued to place faith in Dr. Stockman, who designed the ship's defenses. Unfortunately, Stockman had betrayed them and sided with Agent Bishop, shutting down the defenses. Like Karai, he was captured by the Utroms and sent back to Earth. He has not been seen since.

Dr. Chaplin is voiced by Sam Regal. He has appeared in 5 episodes:

1. New Blood
2. Mission of Gravity
3. Hun on the Run
4. Exodus Part 1
5. Exodus Part 2

[edit] Danny

The son of April's boss, a teenage delinquant and a member of the Foot Clan. He led the Foot to the turtles when they were hiding there. He felt guilty when he saw her apartment burn down. He would eventually befriend Splinter and help save him along with Casey Jones. He only appeared in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action movie.

[edit] Donatello

Main article: Donatello (TMNT)

[edit] Dragon Face

Hun's second-in-command in the Purple Dragons. Based on the show, he does not appear very fond of Hun, especially when he comes back from the Foot. He hasn't been seen since City at War when Hun called him a traitor, and since then Hun has had complete control over the Purple Dragons.

[edit] Dragonlord

Coming from the Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation series, Dragonlord is the leader of the Dragons who escape to the human by following the Turtles when they retrieve the trapped Master Splinter. Powerful but not exceptionally bright, the Dragonlord is able to defeat the Turtles in contests of strength but cannot outwit them. As a dragon, he is capable of breathing fire.

[edit] Drako

Originally a high ranking combatant in the Battle Nexus Tournament, Drako was a biped of unknown origins who resembled a dragon from Earth. Drako proved himself a worthy combatant, making it all the way to the final match. There he engaged Splinter, and nearly claimed victory by breaking the rat master's leg. However, Splinter proved the better of the two, defeating Drako with only the use of one foot. Drako, unwilling to accept defeat when he had been so close, attacked Splinter with his army of Shadow Assassins, and would have killed him had it not been for timely interventions by first Usagi Yojimbo and then the Daimyo of the Battle Nexus.

As a result of his defeat, Drako spent years learning the use and powers of the Daimyo's war staff. He then seduced the Daimyo's son, the Ultimate Ninja, agreeing to help him take over the Multi-verse in exchange for the staff. However, Drako's plans were jeopardized by the Ninja's determination to have revenge on Leonardo. Furthermore, his attempts to eliminate Splinter and the Daimyo were thwarted by the efforts of Turtles Raphael and Donatello, along with their allies Usagi and Traximus.

Matters came to a head when Drako claimed the war staff as his own. Wielding it, he soundly defeated his former ally. However, as a result of the evil in his heart, the war staff tore open a warp in time and space. In his efforts to survive, Drako grabbed onto the Ultimate Ninja, and they both plummeted into the warp, seemingly to their destruction. However, it was later revealed that the two had been fused together into an "Ultimate Drako". By disguising themselves as a confidant of Savanti Romero, the two were able to steal the Time Sceptre of Lord Simultaneous.

Using the Sceptre, Ultimate Drako scattered the Turtles across time and space. He then went to the Battle Nexus, weakening the Daimyo and imprisoning Splinter. Disguised as the Nexus Gyogi, he appeared helpful when Leonardo and Usagi arrived in an effort to find Leonardo's time lost family. However, it was all a ploy to obtain the war staff. Combining the power of the relics, Drako trapped the Turtles, Usagi, and Splinter in a battlefield battling unimaginable enemies, and then prepared to destroy the Daimyo. However, some part of the Ultimate Ninja still cared for his father, and could not strike the fatal blow.

The Turtles were able to steal back the Time Sceptre and War Staff back from Ultimate Drako. Sensing their emotions, the partially sentient Sceptre coordinated its energy with the Staff's to restore everything to its proper order. As a result, Drako and the Ultimate Ninja were separated, and both turned to dust. However, while Lord Simultaneous revived the Ultimate Ninja as a younger version of himself, Drako is seemingly gone for good.

Drako has so far appeared in 10 episodes:

1. The Big Brawl, Parts 1 to 4
2. Time Travails
3. Reality Check
4. Across the Universe
5. Same As It Never Was
6. The Real World, Parts 1 and 2

[edit] Lord Dregg

Dregg was the villain who replaced Shredder as the turtles' main enemy in the last two seasons of the 1987 cartoon. Lord Dregg was an alien who attempted to take over the world, but his plans were constantly foiled by the Turtles. His last attempt involved using a robotic suit to absorb the powers of several other aliens, and kill the Turtles. His plan failed after Donatello and Michelangelo used Krang's exosuit to shrink him down and banish him to Dimension X.

[edit] Darius Dun

Uncle and legal guardian to Cody Jones. Althought quite respected among the general populace due to his role as O'Neil Tech's C.E.O., this is only a cover to more sinister dealings. Thus far, the full extent of his operations is unknown; he has been shown to have a network of cameras to spy on Cody (including one on Serling); a quartet of private soldiers in the Inuwashi Gunjin; and an arsenal of weapons kept in O'Neil tech under the guise of a weapons-recycling program. He has also stolen plans for Cody's time portal.

Darius' relationship with Cody and the turtles is somewhat strained. Rarely present in the household, he leaves Cody's day-to-day care to Serling. When not reminding Cody of his duties as owner of O'Neil Tech, he's admonishing him to remain isolated from the outside world, allegedly for his safety. Although he permits the turtles to continue to live with Cody, he has made no secret his dislike of them, a feeling shared by the turtles.

Darius Dun is played by David Zen Mansley. He has appeared in the following episodes:

1. Obsolete
2. Bishop to Knight
3. Fly Me to the Moon
4. Invasion of the Body Jacker

[edit] Vernon Fenwick

Vernon Fenwick is a cameraman at Channel 6. Vernon Fenwick and Burne Thompson often blame the Turtles for crimes. Sometimes Vernon Fenwick tries to take April's place as a news reporter, but his cowardice in the face of almost everything is his undoing. In the first season he is called "Vern Burke", and in at least one comic he was called "Vernon Brindle".

[edit] Candy Fine

As her name implies, Candy is one fine, smokin' hot metal-babe. She is Mondo Gecko's drop dead gorgeous girlfriend and loved him until the end. She is so beautiful, Archie TMNT fans adore her and can't get enough of this metal princess. She listens to nothing except 1980's heavy metal music and loves it most of all. She attended every one of her lover's practices and gigs and was true to the end.

[edit] Abigail Finn

A would-be monster hunter with a small cable access show about monster hunting. She is skilled in biology and technology. She is given a video of what she believes is the legendary green man of the mountain. It is actually Michelangelo going for a walk in the woods. Along with her assistant Parker she tries to hunt down the monster. She catches the true green man but Don and Mike replace her with Casey and when she tries to show off her prize she is humiliated and seen as a fraud.

Abigail Finn appears in one episode:

1. The Monster Hunter

[edit] Garbageman

The Garbageman appeared in two of the episodes and is apparently too fat to walk. When he first appears he lives on an island, the largest garbage manufacturing island in the city. Secretly, however, he is kidnapping homeless people and enslaving them to do his work on the island. When a group of homeless people whom the Turtles have befriended go missing, they track them down to the island where they face the garbageman. With more than a little effort, they manage to defeat the garbageman, who falls into the lake. Thinking he can't know how to swim, the Turtles have to save him, despite his evilness, but they go down there only to find that, mysteriously, he has disappeared.

A few months later, Donatello builds a submarine, dubbed the Shell Sub, and, while he and Mikey are taking a ride through the lake in it, they spot an underwater city, built out of shipwrecks: Junklantis. They are taken captive and discover that their old friend the Garbageman built the city of junk by attacking and sinking ships. When they break out of prison they destroy Junklantis, escaping in the Shell Sub. But the Garbageman escapes, and attacks the Turtles, in their Shell Sub, but in the end his underwater vehicle gets destroyed and he falls into a crevice. Garbageman is voiced by Mike Pollock.

Garbageman was to appear in the episode "Nightmares Recycled", however this episode's production was put to a halt when the subject matter was deemed unsuitable for children. The episode was apparently to reveal that Hun and The Garbageman were conjoined twins, and separated at one point.

Garbageman has so far appeared in 3 episodes:

1. Garbageman
2. Junklantis
   
3. Nightmares Recycled

[edit] Glurin

Glurin is a young Utrom scientist who was stationed on their Earth base. When April O'Neil was infected by nanobots placed in her body by Dr. Baxter Stockman, he came up with the idea of using other nanobots to combat them. He designed the new nanobots after the Turtles and called them the nanoturtlebots.

[edit] Mr. Go

Mr. Touch and Mr. Go are a duo of super-powered assassins hired by Hun to assassinate the turtles after the Triceraton Invasion.

Touch and Go draw their power from pressing their fists together to power up their bodies. Once powered up, Mr. Go gains super-human speed, which he uses in tandem with martial arts skills. The power-up is short-lived, however, as both assassins expend their energy with every punch and kick; thus the two must strategize in order to remain in proximity to each other to power up.

The way Touch and Go address each other is based on a duo of assassins, Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, who appeared in the James Bond novel and film, Diamonds Are Forever.

Mr. Go himself appears in two episodes:

1. Touch and Go
2. Nobody's Fool
   

[edit] Granitor

A blue Rock Soldier with an oddly-shaped head. He appeared in the 1987 series, and was a boss in the arcade game.

[edit] Starlee Hambrath

A skates-wearing girl from the planet Omatran, Starlee interns at O'Neil Tech, where she occasionally helps Cody Jones. Her blue skin and pointed ears have caused some to speculate that she hails from the same planet as Jhanna and Moriah from "The People's Choice".
She is an expert with technology and helps the Turtles when needed. She is revealed to have a crush on Cody, trying to get a date with him despite his reluctance.

[edit] Hun

One of the main villains in the second Ninja Turtles animated series, Hun is a huge, muscle-bound crime-lord. He is played by Greg Carey.

Hun’s criminal career began at a young age; during his teen years, he was already a prominent member of the Purple Dragons street gang, and was responsible for the burning down of Arnold Casey Jones’ (Casey’s father) store, as well as his eventual death. It is during this time that the the Shredder, realizing his potential, takes him under his wing, training him as his protégé. At the beginning of the series, Hun is second-in-command of the New York faction of the Foot, as well as leader of the Purple Dragons (although he leaves its day-to-day operations to people like Dragonface). During the City at War arc, where New York’s underworld is fractured due to The Shredder’s presumed demise, he leaves the Foot and takes direct control of the Purple Dragons, until he is informed of his master’s true fate and returns to the Foot. A more definitive split occurs in season 4, after the Shredder’s true identity as an Utrom is revealed and he is exiled: with the Shredder gone, Hun turns to the Purple Dragons, successfully remaking them into a Foot-like organization.

Hun is a lethal fighter, surprisingly agile and skilled with a multitude of weapons (although he prefers to use his fists). He is also quite smart, as evidenced by his success in running the new Purple Dragons. However, his power level, as it is, has been inconsistently portrayed throughout the series: although sometimes he is able to hold his own against all four turtles, at others, he is able to be defeated by a single fighter. Generally, he is defeated more easily the later he appears in the series, presumabely due to the turtle's increasing skills.

Although loyal to the Shredder, Hun’s loyalty does not extend to the rest of the Foot, as evidenced by his defections and his hatred for Karai, Saki’s other protégé. During Karai’s time in New York, Hun made no secret of his desire to see her disgraced and dead, resulting in an attempt on her life aided by Dr. Baxter Stockman.

During Season 3, Hun and Baxter Stockman form an uneasy partnership due to the fact they both served the Shredder but are now considered expendable failures to him, as both have lost to the Ninja Turtles so many times — although unlike Stockman, Hun is still loyal to the Shredder despite being regularly demoralized by his Master. While Stockman receives humiliating scars from Shredder for his failures, Hun is not so permanently damaged for his. This could either be because Shredder values his physical health (whereas Stockman is only needed in a mental capacity) or because, unlike Stockman, Hun accepts responsibility for his failure.

Hun's catchphrase of sorts is "crud", which he normally shouts when falling from an extremely high place. This happens often, and he always survives falls that would seemingly kill him, such as in the episode City at War, pt. 3, where he is dropped from the top floor of the Foot tower into a police car on the streets.

Hun’s gained his scars during an ultimately-successful assassination attempt on Hamato Yoshi by the Foot. During their assault, a pre-mutation Splinter was freed from his cage, and, in an attempt to defend his master, scratched Hun on the face.

In the episode "Same as it Never Was," when Donatello is transported to a post-apocalyptic future courtesy of an enemy, Ultimate Drako, the Turtle finds a quite different Hun. Hun, now weak and out of shape, is confined to a wheelchair, and Stockman's brain container has been attached to his body as part of one of the Shredder's innovative forms of physical punishment. The pair has joined the Turtles' rebellion army, although Hun is still loyal to the Shredder.

In a children's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles storybook based on the series, Hun is shown to have an equally massive, hillbilly brother named Arnold, whom Hun teams up with for tag-team wrestling matches. The two are undefeated until they do battle with Michelangelo and Raphael. However, this is likely non-canon to the series.

Hun appeared in 30 episodes:

1. Attack of the Mousers 2. Meet Casey Jones 3. Darkness on the Edge of Town 4. The Way of Invisibility 5. Fallen Angel 6. The Shredder Strikes, Part 1 7. The Shredder Strikes Back, Part 1 8. The Shredder Strikes Back, Part 2 9. Tales of Leo 10. Return to New York, Part 1

1. The People's Choice

[edit] Casey Jones

Main article: Casey Jones (TMNT)

[edit] Cody Jones

The great-grandson of Casey Jones and April O'Neil, Cody Jones (played by Christopher C. Adams) lives in the Earth year of 2105. He maintains a collection of memorabilia from the adventures of the Turtles, and owns O'Neil Tech, a massive technology producer. Due to his ownership of the O'Neil/Jones fortune, he is incredibly wealthy. However, he is too young to run the company himself.

Cody always wanted to see the Turtles in action, but due to their philosophy of hiding in the shadows was unable to find any recordings. To compensate, he attempted to create a method to view them in the past through a special window. However, it had the unexpected effect of actually pulling the Turtles into the future. Though apologetic for his mistake, he was thrilled to have the Turtles in his presence. He invited them into his home, promising to try and find a method to get them home.

Cody, like Donatello, is a major tech geek. The two get along quite well, and Cody even created the Hover Shell vehicle based on Donny's designs.

He also seems to have a crush on Starlee, an employee of O'Neil Teach, though not as strong an attraction as she has for him.

Cody has both Casey and April's personalities. He's smart, but is very hardheaded.

[edit] Shadow Jones

Casey Jones' adopted daughter. She is the daughter of Gabrielle, a woman Casey met and fell in love with, and married during the City At War story arc. Her mother died due to complications during childbirth. After that she was raised by Casey as his own. Growing up with the Turtles as her uncles and Splinter as grandfather, wasn't too good for her. She went into a dark phase, but after an incident involving werewolves, she changed her path in life. Casey and April, fearing for her safety, had her moved to a farmhouse in Northampton, Massachusetts to live with Splinter and another adopted uncle, "Stainless Steel" Steve, and his friend Metalhead. She lightened up and grew very skilled in ninjutsu, which was taught to her by Splinter until his death.

[edit] King of Thieves

The King of Thieves first appearance was in issue number 3 of the Mirage Studio's title "Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." This issue was adapted into the Halloween episode of the TMNT animated series.

[edit] Kluh

A competitor in the Battle Nexus tournament, Kluh was a large, powerfully built warrior. Michelangelo made the mistake of calling him puny when Kluh was in his smaller form. Thus, it was much to Michelangelo's dismay when he found out he'd be facing Kluh in the final match. However, due to the interference of Drako, Mikey won through sheer dumb luck. Having imbedded one of his nunchucks in the ground to keep from being pulled into a vortex, Mikey yanked it out, unwittingly hitting Kluh, who was standing behind him.

During Season 3, Kluh appeared as one of the allies recruited by Traximus for his resistance force. In Season 4, he appeared on Earth with his father and other Levrams to challenge Mikey to a rematch. Returning to the Battle Nexus, they had it out. Unbeknownst to Mikey, a Levram magician had removed the protection spells of the Nexus, and the fact that the Ultimate Ninja was a Levram hostage made it impossible for the Daimyo to interfer. However, thanks to training from Leonardo, Mikey proved victorious yet again.

Kluh has appeared in six episodes:

1. The Big Brawl, Parts 1 to 4
2. Space Invaders, Part 3
3. Grudge Match

[edit] Klunk

Michelangelo's pet cat. He first appeared in the Michelangelo microseries, and was hit by a car and died in the Tales of the TMNT vol. 2 issue 9.

[edit] Krang

Main article: Krang

[edit] Irma Langinstein

In the 1987 animated series, Irma is a young woman who works as a secretary at Channel 6. Irma, who is April's best friend, is a friend to the Turtles. Irma is one of the few humans in the series who accept the TMNT instead of seeing them as evil just because they are different from the humans. Irma and April visited Europe during the Vacation in Europe episodes.

Of course, being a friend of the Turtles can sometimes bring trouble, like being accidentally being turned into a 30-foot tall giantess on her birthday and many other incidents. Irma also has a problem of stepping on people's feet whenever she gets upset, causing them to call her a klutz. Irma grew closest to Donatello.

Irma's last name was never given in the series. The name "Langinstein" was only used in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cufflink Caper when it was aired on prime-time in 1990 by CBS [1].

[edit] Oyuki Mamishi

Created by Dean Clarrain and Chris Allan for the TMNT Adventures comics, Oyuki is a homeless Japanese teen who eventually becomes April O’Neil’s roommate and assistant.

Oyuki first met April and the turtles in the Rising Sun arc, where Oyuki was kidnapped and set to be sacrificed by criminal Chien Khan in order to release the demon called Noi Tai Dar. After being rescued by the turtles and their allies, she is offered a home by April.

In New York, circunstances force April to work as a freelance reporter, with Oyuki as her camera-girl. In reporting, Oyuki found her calling; in the story titled The Angel of Times Square, set in 1999 (five years in the future—the series is normally set in 1994) it is revealed that Oyuki eventually became a reporter in her own right, and that she still lived with April.

[edit] Mephos

An evil Avian and former friend and now enemy of Raptarr. Wanted Avians to conquer human, had his wings taken away and was banished. However, Mephos was able to build himself metal wings and took Raptarr's crystal diatone. Came back to the Avian city to conquer it. Was defeated by Rapptar and the Turtles.

Mephos appeared in one episode:

1. A Wing and a Prayer

[edit] Merdude

Merdude was created to cash in on Disney's "The Little Mermaid." He was created by Mirage staff artist Dan Berger. He was made into an action figure and had his own Archie comic book series in which he battled a Jack Kirby inspired Kraken. Merdude has remained a popular character among TMNT fans.

[edit] Mondo Gecko

Mondo Gecko was created by Mirage Studio's artist Ryan Brown. In the 1987 TMNT cartoon, Mondo Gecko began his life as a normal lizard who fell into New York City sewers when the TMNT were mutated, and he also became mutated. However, Mondo Gecko was picked up and carried away by an unknown man. One night, Michaelangelo had a bad dream and woke up. When he heard noise up on the streets, he went up and met robbers. Among the robbers were Mondo Gecko, now a mutated and talking lizard who was raised by gangsters. Mondo Gecko was now a member of a gang who worked for "Mr. X", a gangster boss. Michaelangelo convinced Mondo Gecko to turn on Mr. X. Together they fought Mr. X. After this, Mondo Gecko ends his career as a criminal and moves to the sewers and becomes "neighbors" with the TMNT and Splinter.

In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic series published by Archie Comics, Mondo Gecko started his life as a human teenage boy playing in a local metal band who practiced in Shredder's old hideout. One day, Mondo Gecko accidentally got mutagen on him and because his latest contact was with his pet lizard he carried on his shoulders, he mutated into a talking human lizard. His girlfriend, Candy Fine, decided to split up with him. In this version, Mondo Gecko was also a skilled skateboarder. Later, he became a member of the team The Mighty Mutanimals and eventually got back together with his girlfriend Candy. The entire team died in a massacre that made news because it was a surprising occurrence in a version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic supposedly aimed at kids. The story was also surprising because it involved time travel and could easily have undone the deaths but did not. Because these comics were different in style and storyline and came from an alternate publisher, they are not part of the official Turtles canon.

[edit] Moriah

Moriah is one of two members of an alien race who were dueling in fair combat for rule against Jhanna. Rather than fighting fairly, she brought four monsters to fight for her. Though she was winning at first, the Turtles came in and evened the odds. Eventually, as the Turtles dealt with the monsters, Jhanna and Moriah dueled by themselves. Although Moriah played hard, Jhanna eventually defeated her.

Moriah appeared in one episode:

1. The People's Choice

[edit] Mortu

Mortu was the captain of the Utrom ship that crashed on Earth. After the crash, he remained the field-leader of the marooned Utroms, and worked as their liaison to the Humans. In the modern day, this makes him CEO of the front company TCRI. His name is "Utrom" backwards.

Mortu is voiced by Dan Green.

[edit] MotorHead

MotorHead is a mutated taxi who rules over all vehicles with his mind control. He battled the Turtles in an issue of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magazine. He was a creation of a Mirage Studio's artist Ryan Brown.

[edit] Commander Mozar

The military commander of the Triceraton Republic, Mozar is the counterpart of General Blanque when it comes to military matters. Mozar is the dedicated right hand of Zanramon, the Triceraton Prime Leader. He led the mission into territory controlled by the Federation of D'Hoonib, seeking to capture Professor Honeycutt. He succeeded, thanks to help from Blanque's private aid. However, he also captured the Turtles in the bargain.

Mozar delivered his captives to Zanramon, and was dispatched to pursue them when they escaped the Triceraton gladitorial games. Whilst doing so, his fleet engaged in battle with that of General Blanque. The two old enemies bickered, and showed their similarity by both planning to launch a sneak attack while talking with Leonardo about a ceasefire. Unfortunately for them, the Turtles and Honeycutt were beamed to safety by the Utroms.

Mozar led the Triceraton invasion of Earth, sending down his forces to search for Honeycutt. As a result of his efforts, Donatello was captured for interrogation. However, Triceraton sensors then determined that Honeycutt was not on the planet, and they set off to find him. Mozar was in command again when the Triceratons returned to Earth in pursuit of Honeycutt and engaged the Federation fleet in battle. However, Mozar proved that he possessed honor when he refused to fire on the disabled Federation fleet. He then stood aside as the Triceraton gladiator Traximus deposed Zanramon.

Mozar differed from standard Triceraton soldiers in his physical composition. He was missing one eye, and one of his arms had been replaced with a mechanical limb below the elbow.

Commander Mozar is voiced by Dan Green.

Commander Mozar has appeared in 11 episodes:

1. Turtles in Space, Parts 1 to 5
2. Space Invaders, Parts 1 to 3
3. Worlds Collide, Parts 1 to 3

[edit] Ninjara

Ninjara, Raphael's girlfriend in the TMNT Archie comic series, was once a part of an ancient race of humanoid foxes living on a hidden island off the coast of Japan. She ended up becoming a thief and assassin for the villious dog-man Chien Kahn, but then had a change of heart when she met the Turtles and fell in love with Raphael. She was a powerful member of the team from issue #29 until issue #70, when the relationship between her and Raphael came to end due to personal differences.

[edit] Nobody

A Batman-like vigilante, the original Nobody (a.k.a. Longer) from Mirage's TMNT comic books was simply a Northampton policeman who moonlighted as a nameless vigilante (the name Nobody was given to him by the Turtles). In the current cartoon, however, Nobody is a New York detective disgraced due to the machinations of Ruffington, a corrupt arms dealer he tried to expose. In both incarnations, he meets the Turtles while hunting down Ruffington, and quickly becomes their ally. His comic book incarnation was killed during the events of the Mirage volume 2 comics.

In the current cartoon, Nobody is voiced by Sean Schemmel. He has appeared in the following two episodes:

1. Nobody's Fool
2. Still Nobody

Main article: April O'Neil

[edit] August O'Neil

April's "Uncle Augie", August O'Neil is a world traveler, explorer and scientist. He imparted in April a love of knowledge and learning. He mysteriously vanished one day due to a strange artifact. The artifact transported him to a world ruled by giant insect like creatures. August eventually discovered aa artifact similar to the one that brought him to this world in an ancient temple inhabited by the insect queen, using this device he ended up in another alien world. The world he ended up in this time was inhabited by the Brotherhood, a race of carnivorous reptilian humanoids who told him that if he fixed there dimensional warp generator, they would share their vast knowledge with the Earth. In reality, they wanted to travel to Earth to eat every living thing on the planet. Donatello and April rescue August from the repitiles, returning him to Earth.

August O'neil was voiced by Marc Thompson.

[edit] Robyn O'Neil

April's older sister, who lives in California. She's an outgoing, but somewhat unorganized and irresponsible woman. In the Mirage comics, she has an ex-husband named Colin and a young son named Trevor. It's interesting to note that her design resembles the cartoon version of April.

[edit] Professor Obligado

Obligado was a brilliant Utrom scientist. His death and life are shown in the back pages of several issues of the current Tales of the TMNT. It should be noted that "obligado" means "obligated/forced to" in Spanish.

[edit] Oroku Nagi

Brother of Oroku Saki, aka The Shredder. He was killed by Hamato Yoshi for beating Tang Shen, pushing Saki to join the Foot Clan to seek revenge. The Turtles and Splinter would latter encounter his ghost haunting the abadoned home of Tang Shen. To set his angered spirit free, the Turtles burned the house down.

[edit] Oroku Yoshi

While traversing through the Battle Nexus, Leonardo encountered an entity using the guise of The Shredder. Strangely, this Shredder actually aided Leonardo in battle. When Leonardo felt threatened at The Shredder's presence, he revealed himself to be a well-known warrior in the Battle Nexus, Oroku Yoshi.

[edit] Raptarr

A winged super-hero who debuted in the second issue of the fourth volume of the Mirage comics, where he saved Michelangelo from falling to his death. Since then he has made several appearances, and was last seen aiding Raphael, Donatello, and the authorities in arresting an alien criminal.

In the 2003 series, Raptarr is an Avian, a race of angel-like people who centuries ago had freed themselves from the Y'Lyntian race, who had engineered them to serve as slaves. After a Civil War in the aerial Avian City, Raptarr was charged with watching over its instigator, the Avian Mephos, who had been exiled to Earth following his capture. Once there, he began operating as a super-hero, and repeatedly foiled Mephos' plans for revenge. During their last encounter, Raptarr met the Turtles, whom he enlisted to help stop Mephos.

Raptarr has appeared in one episode, A Wing and a Prayer. He is voiced by Marc Diraison.

His name is an obvious play on the word raptor. Which means bird of prey.

[edit] Rat King

Main article: Rat King

[edit] Ray Fillet

Ray Fillet, also known as Man Ray, was once a marine biologist named Jack Finney who worked at the Burroughs Aquarium in New Jersey. He was exposed to Mutagen and became a mutant Ray. He originated in the Archie comics version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where he met the TMNT while being held prisoner by the Oceanauts, pirates that were dumping toxic waste into the ocean. Ray Fillet teamed up with the turtles to escape and put an end to the pollution scheme. Later on, he joined up with the Mutanimals, and the group received a spin-off series from Archie comics entitled "The Mighty Mutanimals." Ray Fillet was also made into an action figure, and appeared in one video game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters for the Sega Genesis. He was created by Mirage Studios' artist Ryan Brown.

[edit] Renet

Renet is a Timestress, apprenticed to Lord Simultaneous. Renet is somewhat of a bungler, constantly screwing things up. In her efforts to achieve mastery, she often has to rely on her friends the Turtles to save her sorry hide. Perhaps the worst detail about Renet is her novice use of the Time Sceptre, which Simultaneous allows her to use despite the fact that she keeps losing it.

Renet first met the Turtles when Simultaneous dispatched her to travel back in time and stop Savanti Romero, an enemy of his, from tampering with the time stream. With the aid of the Turtles, she was able to defeat him. However, the Time Sceptre was then stolen by Savanti's pet, which turned out to really be Ultimate Drako-a fusion of the Ultimate Ninja and Drako, both former foes of the Turtles.

Simultaneous later entrusted Renet with the Time Sceptre again, once more dispatching her to defeat Savanti, who now threatened the human race itself. Traveling the to Cretaceous period with the Turtles, Renet was captured by Romero, who planned to sacrifice her to increase his power. He was defeated by Donatello, and Renet was rescued. However, the Time Sceptre fell into a nearby lake and was lost for three months, until Michelangleo found it in the belly of a massive fish he'd caught for the Turtles' dinner.

Renet is a human, and most commonly dressed in a blue outfit that includes an odd helmet which covers her hair. Renet is revealed to be blond, perhaps serving as an explanation of her ineptitude with the old "dumb blonde" stereotype. Her outfit also includes a blue cape and matching boots and breastplate, but her legs and arms are bare.

Renet has so far appeared in 3 episodes:

1. Time Travails
2. Return of Savanti, Parts 1 to 2

In the Mirage comic series, Renet is shown to eventually grow up and mature, at some point in the future taking over for Lord Simultaneous and becoming Mistress of all time.

[edit] Rocksteady

Main article: Bebop and Rocksteady

[edit] Savanti Juliet

The demonic wife of Savanti Romero, she appeared only in one issue of the Mirage comic series -- issue number 42, Juliet's Revenge. Driven to insanity by grief over her husband, whom she believed to be dead, she set out to both take revenge on the Turtles, whom she held responsible for his death, and gain for herself the power over all time that he had failed in obtaining.

Juliet possessed black magical powers similar to those of her husband, being able to re-animate and control people who were long dead (Robert E. Howard, Bruce Lee, Mae West, Leonardo Da Vinci and Edgar Allan Poe), giving them the tasks of capturing all four Turtles and Splinter for sacrifice in an intricate spell.

However, Juliet's spell was noticed by the adult Renet, the Mistress of Time, who travelled back in time from the future just in time to rescue her friends, the Turtles. Juliet was easily dispatched by Renet and crumbled to dust.

[edit] Savanti Romero

A former student of Lord Simultaneous, Savanti was originally a human who grew power hungry and tried to steal his master's Time Sceptre. As a result of his betrayal, Savanti was turned into a minotaur-like demon and banished to 15th century Earth. However, he was not destroyed, and he continued to amass power through the use of black magic. All the while, he plotted revenge on Lord Simultaneous and to take the Sceptre for himself.

Savanti's chance came when Renet, the Timestress apprentice of Simultaneous, arrived in his time accompanied by the Turtles. Savanti attempted to claim the Time Sceptre once again, aided by his dragon-like confidant. However, he proved unable to defeat the Turtles and was banished to the Cretaceous Period, but not before his confidant was revealed as Ultimate Drako-a fusion of the Ultimate Ninja and Lord Drako.

As before, Savanti continued to amass power, and also hatched a plan to use his position in time to his advantage. Using a special message recorded in a Tyrannosaurus skeleton, he sent a challenge to the Turtles, who came back in time with Renet to stop him from altering history. They found themselves facing not only the untamed wilds of Mezozoic Earth, but also of Savanti's brainwashed dinosaur army.

Savanti captured Renet and the Time Sceptre, taking them to a massive structure set over a prehistoric lake and built of countless dinosaur bones. Savanti then explained his master plan: using a bolt of his power, he would sacrifice Renet to energize his magic and the Time Sceptre. That same bolt would then penetrate to the Earth's core, causing every volcano in the Ring of Fire to go off, altering Earth's orbit just enough that it would avoid the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs. Not only would Savanti become as powerful as Lord Simultaneous, but the Turtles would be erased from history and the human race with them.

Romero was then forced to battle the arriving Turtles. Using his magic, he fused a number of dinosaur bones to himself to create a Shredder-esque suit of armor (to which Michelangelo humorously replied "ewww!") Despite his superior physical strength and magical prowess, he could not stop Donatello from freeing Renet and breaking the overhanging arch that held the Time Sceptre. Savanti leaped out into the ceremonial ring to grab it, just in time to be hit by his own bolt of power. He was seemingly killed instantly, and plummeted to the lake below.

Savanti Romero has appeared in 3 episodes:

1. Time Travails
2. Return of Savanti, Parts 1 to 2

He is played by David Zen Mansley.

[edit] Scratch

Scratch is a Playmates Toys cat cat-burglar action figure. It is one of the rarest TMNT action figures ever made and can sell for hundreds of dollars in on-line auctions. Very few were made and it was among the last of the villains to be released by Playmates Toys. Created by Mirage artist Ryan Brown, the toy is based on a character from an issue of the TMNT adventures comic book.

[edit] Scumbug

Scumbug is a mutated exterminator. He is constantly trying to exterminate the Turtles. He first appeared in the Archie TMNT title. He was released as a Playmates toy action figure. Scum Bug was created by Mirage Studio's staff artist Ryan Brown.

[edit] Serling

A robot from the year 2105, Serling serves as butler and caretaker to Cody Jones. Proper and refined, Serling is quite appalled by the presence of the Ninja Turtles. Despite his usual no-nonsense attitude, he has a flair for drama. Serling has Cody's best interests at whatever passes for his heart, though he is secretly being used as a spy by Cody's uncle Darius. In episode, "The Journal", it was revealed that Donatello's brain was transplanted to robot body after being badly damaged in a meteor shower. This body was named Serling, and filled the turtles with horror. However, it was revealed to be a joke made up by Splinter and Cody, to teach them to not try to change time. He is played by Marc Thompson.

[edit] Tang Shen

Tang Shen was the lover of Hamato Yoshi in the Mirage Comics, the movies and the 2003 animated series. The only TMNT franchise in which she did not appear was the 80s animated series. In all the franchises in which she appears, her love with Yoshi is ill-fated. She is killed by a jealous lover, and is in some way linked to Yoshi's move to New York.

In the Mirage Comics, Yoshi and Shen's relationship attracted the jealousy of fellow Foot Clan member Oroku Nagi. In order to protect Shen, Yoshi killed Nagi, and for this act he was forced into exile in New York. Nagi's younger brother Oroku Saki was adopted by the Foot Clan, and in time became The Shredder. When he was ready, the Clan sent Saki to America to start a new branch. Saki took the opportunity to track down Yoshi and Shen, and killed them both to avenge his brother.

In the first TMNT movie, Tang Shen's story is similar. Her involvement with Yoshi once again attracted the jealousy of a fellow Foot Clan member, but this time it was Oroku Saki himself. Yoshi and Shen fled to New York to hide from Saki, but he followed them and killed them both.

In the 2003 animted series, Tang Shen was raised by the Ancient One, along with Hamato Yoshi and Yukio Mashimi. Yoshi and Shen fell in love, but this attracted the jealousy of Mashimi. To make matters worse, while both Yoshi and Mashimi were Guardians of the Utroms, Yoshi was promoted up to the rank of Guardian Prime while Mashimi was passed over. Mashimi's jealousy of Yoshi eventually led him to betray everything and join the Foot Clan. He killed Shen and led an attack against the Utroms. The attack failed, and the Utroms fled to a new hiding place, but Yoshi stayed behind and sought revenge. He attacked the Foot headquarters alone, fighting his way up to Mashimi, until finally he duelled Mashimi and killed him. Later, he moved to New York, the new hiding place of the Utroms.

[edit] Sh'Okanabo

An alien villain who appears in the "Fast Forward" season of the 2003 series, and who has been behind several of the events in the series. Sh'Okanabo is, according to President Bishop, regarded as a myth, or an alien boogeyman, by many. In reality, he is a dark shapeshifter whose main plan is to cause what is known as "The Day of Awakening" on Earth. To this end, he has executed several plans, both by proxy: an attempted infiltration of O’Neil Tech by assistant Viral; and the successful deactivation of the Terran Defense Grid (by mercenary Torbin Zixx), which allowed him to smuggle his ship to Earth. Given the turtles (incidental) involvement in both plans, he has concluded that they know of his plans, and has taken measures (involving DNA stolen from the turtles during an encounter) to stop them.

Sh’Okanabo is played by Sean Schemmel. He has appeared in the following episodes:

1. Home Invasion
2. Bishop to Knight
3. Night of Sh’Okanabo!
4. The Freaks Came Out At Night
5. Bad Blood

Silver Sentry is a superhero in the world of the Turtles, clearly based on the classic superheroes of the comic books. Silver Sentry is the hero who first inspires Michelangelo to become "Turtle Titan", a crime fighting superhero. However, Mikey proves inept, but does save Sentry from the mind control of his arch-nemesis, Dr. Malignus.

Silver Sentry makes several appearances afterwards in the series. He comes to the Turtles' Christmas party, where he soundly defeats both Raphael and Casey Jones in contests of arm wrestling. He then purposely loses to April O'Neil, both to see the look on the others' faces and to get a batch of her chocolate chip cookies all to himself. He also flies alongside other superheroes to do battle with the Triceratons, but they are repulsed.

[edit] Lord Simultaneous

The master of time, Lord Simultaneous has two different appearances. One is a large, disembodied blue floating head, reminiscent of that projected by Oz. The other is far less impressive: he is a short, old man wearing simple robes and a headress. He is also shown to be rather complaintive.

As master of time, Simultaneous' responsibility is to handle any problems involving the time stream. As a result, he has apparently solved numerous catastrophes. However, his attempts to train successors have been less than successful. One of his early students, Savanti Romero, turned on him, and was turned into a demon and banished to the past as a result. The other student, a rather inept Timestress, has screwed up time and again.

One such screwup involved the Ninja Turtles. The Timestress Rennet stole the Time Sceptre, the partially sentient source of his power, to speed up her punishment. However, she ended up taking herself and the Turtles to Earth's Middle Ages, where they were confronted by Savanti Romero. The Time Sceptre was stolen by Romero's confidant, Ultimate Drako, a fusion of the Ultimate Ninja and Drako.

The Time Sceptre was used by Ultimate Drako to scatter the Turtles across time and space. Eventually, he used it to bring them all together after he stole the war staff of the Battle Nexus Daimyo. However, the staff's sentient nature detected the positive feelings of the Turtles, and combined its power with the staff's to set things right. Simultaneous himself appeared to reclaim the Sceptre, and also revived the Ultimate Ninja as a young boy.

Simultaneous later sent the Timestress on a mission for her graduation, this one to pre-historic times to once again stop Savanti Romero. Thanks to the Turtles' help, Savanti was beaten, but due to the temporary loss of the time Sceptre the Timestress and the Turtles were trapped in the past for three months-from their perspective.

[edit] Slash

In the 1987 TMNT cartoon, Slash was originally a pet turtle owned by Bebop. Slash was mutated with experimental Super-Mutagen, which Shredder and Krang were devising, by Bebop and Rocksteady. They were tired of doing all the work in the Technodrome, which was located in Dimension X, and wanted to make a new mutant who they could pass the jobs onto.

Unfortunately for them, Slash was much more powerful and dangerous than they were. He also had an unstable temperament and was fixated on palm trees, due to his favourite (and only) toy in his fish-bowl being a plastic palm tree which he called his Binky. When Bebop dropped it down an airduct he went berserk, stealing Shredder's Shaolin swords and wrecking the Technodrome before being sent to Earth due to some quick thinking on the original mutants' parts. He was eventually sent into space aboard a trash rocket, but the trash contained a small plastic palm tree, so he was content.

Slash returned in 'Donatello Trashes Slash' where he apparently ran into an alien that gave him a special helmet which granted him with genius-level intelligence. Donatello and the rest of the Turtles later destroy the helmet, reverting Slash to his less-intelligent self and send him back into space again. Slash also appeared in 'Nights of the Rogues' along with other TMNT villains like Leatherhead, Rat King, Tempestra, Scumbug, Anthrax, and Chrome Dome. Like the others, he left when he found out he wasn't getting paid after the TMNT defeated the Shredder.

Slash first appeared in the Archie TMNT Adventures comics on the toxic waste dump world Morbus. This version of Slash looked just like a regular Ninja Turtle, but had fangs instead of teeth and wore a black mask. Like Krang, he had been banished there for horrific crimes. Like his animated counter-part, Slash was still fixated on palm trees, although for different reasons. He teamed up with Krang and the criminal Bellybomb when Krang promised to lead him to a world of palm trees (Earth). Slash wandered the Earth after Krang's defeat and eventually ran into the Mutanimals, who led him to a tropical island filled with palm trees. He saw the explosions from the Mutanimals tragic final battle, but arrived too late to help. He teamed with the Turtles in order to halt the latest attack on Earth by the alien queen Maligna. In the end, he sacrificed his life to give the Turtles time to escape Maligna's ship before it crashed into the sun. Slash was shown with almost ridiculous power in the Mutanimals comic, being able to rip apart tanks and being immune to gunfire, and even capable of surviving a missile strike. He claims that "the vultures named me Slash". In this series he carried many varying weapons, but his most prominent weapons were a pair of shuko (hand claws, similar to those worn by The Shredder).

Slash appeared in two videogames. The first was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project for the NES, as one of the bosses. Here he'd fight with a long kris, and leap around the screen, making him hard to hit. He'd also roll himself into a ball and roll up and down the screen. He'd return in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, the SNES version of the 4-player arcade of similar name. He'd be the boss of the Prehistoric stage replacing the Cement Man from the arcade version. Considered one of the strongest bosses of the game, he slices you with his Psycho Sai in combo attacks, and blocks your attacks. If you make him block too often, he suddenly busts out rolled in a ball, knocking you to the floor. Slash, in both appearances, is based more on his action figure design and original concept, rather than the TMNT cartoon version. In addition to his kris, and unlike the other turtles, he has a pair of twin metal claws attached to a band on his hand, which is likely the origin of his name Slash, since the kris is a stabbing weapon.

[edit] Slashuur

Slashuur is a character that appears in the 2003 series season 2 video game. According to it, Slashuur is an Utrom who was slashed when Shredder attacked his own home planet. He survived, but not without two scars. He is a former competitor of the Battle Nexus. For unknown purposes, he became known as the greatest mercenary in the multiverse, which was after he somehow achieved his Slashuur exosuit, with the cost of his own memory. He worked under Shredder, not knowing he was attacked by him. His weapon is a sickle called Gengetsu, which drains people's energy upon impact, feeding it to Slashuur. He has three known costumes. They have the same design, just different colors. The first one is orange, which appears when Slashuur appears in Episode 4-5. The second one is black, which appears when Slashuur appears in Episode 10-3. The third one is when he is a playable character. It is white. After fighting the Turtles twice, he learns what really happens. Slashuur then assists them in their battle in Episode 11, but only in the cutscenes. It is unknown he will appear in the 2003 series, similar to Planet Zero's appearance in that same game.

[edit] Chief Sterns

Chief Sterns (played by Raymond Serra) is the blustery, ineffective New York City police chief who is unable to deal with the crime wave. Browbeaten by April O'Neil, the chief doubts her story about the Foot, failing to see any connection between current thefts and events that happened in Japan years ago. He appeared in the first movie, and in one scene of the second movie.

[edit] Barney Stockman

Baxter Stockman's non-identical twin brother. He is somehow aware of Baxter's mutation into a fly, and tries to avenge him. Gets very upset when people mistake him for his brother Baxter.

[edit] Tatsu

Tatsu (played by Toshishiro Obata) is Shredder's right-hand man, and second-in-command of the Foot Clan, in the first and second TMNT movies. He is skilled at martial arts, but is very violent and has a bad temper - in the first movie, after a bad meeting with Shredder, a frustrated Tatsu starts beating up Foot Clan members. He seemed to be the field leader of the Clan, leading them in battle while the Shredder stays behind. For example, he led the attack at April's apartment in the first movie, and the robbery/kidnapping at TGRI in the second movie.

He was defeated in battle by Casey Jones near the end of the first movie. He was found alive and well in the second movie, and with Shredder presumed dead, he attempted to take leadership of what remained of the Foot Clan. He nevertheless relinquished command onto Shredder when the latter was revealed to have survived. Tatsu's status following the second movie is unknown.

Tatsu was a level boss in the game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist. That was his only videogame appearance.

[edit] Burne Thompson

Burne Thompson works at Channel 6 and is April's boss. Burne Thompson and the cameraman Vernon Fenwick often blame the turtles for crimes in NYC. Burne Thompson has a girlfriend named Tiffany and she hated the turtles too. Burne was voiced by Pat Fraley and Townsend Coleman was the 1989 alternate.

[edit] Tokka

Main article: Tokka and Rahzar

[edit] Mr. Touch

Mr. Touch and Mr. Go are a duo of super-powered assassins hired by Hun to assassinate the Turtles after the Triceraton Invasion.

Touch and Go draw their power from pressing their fists together to power up their bodies. Once powered up, Mr. Touch gains strength many times that of humans. The power-up is short-lived, however, as both assassins expend their energy with every punch and kick; thus the two must strategize in order to remain in proximity to each other to power up.

The way Touch and Go address each other is based on a duo of assassins, Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, who appeared in the James Bond novel and film, Diamonds Are Forever.

Mr. Touch himself appears in two episodes:

1. Touch and Go
2. Nobody's Fool

[edit] General Traag

General Traag, sometimes spelled "Tragg", is the leaders of the Rock Soldiers. He takes orders from Krang.

General Traag was featured in only two videogame, the first arcade game and the second GameBoy game, Back From the Sewers, on both occasions as a boss in the Technodrome level. However, his Rock Soldiers army is nowhere to be seen in the game. Oddly, in the two games that did feature the Rock Soldiers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, Traag himself was missing. He was voiced by Peter Renaday.

[edit] Traximus

Traximus was a noble warrior of the Triceraton Republic who believed that its old virtues should be restored. He spoke to the council and, at the orders of the tyrannical Zanramon, found himself in the dungeons with warriors taking part in "The Games".

He befriended the Turtles when they were forced take part in the games if Professor Honeycutt didn't build the teleportal device, at the time a major military asset. He managed to create a distraction so the Turtles could escape with Honeycutt. At the same time, he and the other gladiators escaped.

Many months later, Traximus went to the Battle Nexus to recruit warriors to overthrow the Prime Leader. He also participated in the tournament and ended up losing to Raphael. He later helped Raphael to spring Splinter, and aided in the battle against Drako and the Ultimate Ninja.

During the Triceraton invasion of Earth, Traximus aided the Turtles once more, having managed to convince warriors from the Battle Nexus tournament to aid his efforts against Zanramon's regime and formed a rebellion along with Monzaram and his Triceraton all-stars underneath the Prime Leader's nose. He helped the Turtles rescue Donatello from captivity and played a major part in Zanramon's downfall. Although Traxumus was given an offer to become the next Prime Leader, he chose to revive the Triceraton council instead so there would be no more Prime Leaders. He then destroyed the Prime Leader's throne, saying that no one would ever sit upon it again.

Traximus is voiced by Greg Carey.

Traximus appeared in 7 episodes:

1. Turtles In Space, Part 4
2. The Big Brawl, Parts 1 to 4
3. Space Invaders, Part 3
4. Worlds Collide, Part 3

[edit] Triple Threat

A three-headed pro wrestler from 2105, who was banned from wrestling for his use of violence. In his first appearance, he attempted to still the championship belt and rob Madison Square Gardens, but was beaten by Raph and Leo. His three heads are a red head with a white face head with dreadlocks on the far right side of his body, a blue head with one eye in the middle, and a large yellow head on the far left side. The Triple Threat was a professional wrestling stable.

[edit] Ultimate Daimyo

Father of the Ultimate Ninja and master of the Battle Nexus. The Daimyo is supposedly a great warrior who introduced ninjitsu to Earth, and is the holder of the War Staff of Ultimate Power.

The Daimyo first appeared to recover his son after the Ninja engaged Leonardo in a duel to the death. Following this, the Turtles met him upon their first visit to the Battle Nexus. His history with Master Splinter was briefly talked about, as he saved Miyamoto Usagi and Splinter from an attack by Drako. However, this led to Drako seeking revenge and possession of the War Staff. The Daimyo, summoned by his son, was wounded by Drako's assassins.

After being saved from a second attack by Usagi and Donatello, the Daimyo was forced to watch as his son and Drako were pulled into a warp caused by Drako's use of the War Staff. He closed it, and was left to grieve. Some time later, when Leonardo came to the Nexus seeking his time scattered family, he found the Daimyo weak and not thinking clearly. Ultimate Drako, the fusion of Drako and the Ultimate Ninja, had weakened him and were planning to destroy him. However, the Ninja could not hurt his father, and the Daimyo's son was returned to him as a young boy.

The Daimyo later judged Michelangelo's rematch with Kluh. He sensed the interference of the Levram wizard who removed the Battle Nexus anti-fatality spells, but could not intervene due to the Levrams taking his son hostage. After the Ultimate Ninja was rescued, the Daimyo took the Levrams prisoner. He also appeared with Usagi and Gen at the Turtles' Christmas get together.

The Ultimate Daimyo is voiced by Dan Green.

Ultimate Daimyo has appeared in eight episodes:

1. The Ultimate Ninja
2. The Big Brawl, Parts 1 to 4
3. The Christmas Aliens
4. The Real World, Part 2
5. Grudge Match

[edit] Ultimate Ninja

The son of the Battle Nexus Daimyo, the Ultimate Ninja first appeared when he came to Earth to fight Oroku Saki, the Shredder. However, he was cheated of this battle after learning that the Shredder had seemingly met his death at the hands of Leonardo. In response, he challenged Leonardo to a duel, and the two fought to the death. Where Leonardo fought with honor, the Ultimate Ninja did not, and even attempted to kill Leonardo after the fight ended. The Ultimate Damiyo made his son ask for the Turtles' forgiveness, an act that the Ultimate Ninja considered beneath him and humiliating.

The Ultimate Ninja later appeared again when the Turtles entered the Battle Nexus. Allied to the evil Drako, a former opponent of Splinter's, he planned to destroy the Turtles and take over the multiverse. He nearly succeeded, poisoning Leonardo and implicating Splinter in an attempt to murder the Daimyo. However, the Turtles, along with their allies Usagi Yojimbo and Traximus, were able to thwart his plans. Both the Ultimate Ninja and Drako were then pulled into a warp in time and space ripped open by Drako's use of the Daimyo's war staff.

He later appeared as a pet of Savanti Romero, having been fused with Drako into a grotesque entity known as Ultimate Drako. Stealing the Time Sceptre of Lord Simultaneous, he scattered the Turtles to time and space, captured Splinter, and weakened his father the Daimyo. He later seized the war staff after Leonardo failed to use it to recover his missing family. Wielding the power of Sceptre and Staff, he gathered the Turtles and Usagi together, trapping them in a battle with powerful monsters. With the Turtles occupied, Ultimate Drako was ready to destroy the Daimyo.

But some part of the Ultimate Ninja still cared for his father, and his hesitation allowed the Turtles to gain possession of the two relics. The Time Sceptre, being partially sentient, combined its powers with those of the war staff to restore everything to its natural order, including the separation of the Ultimate Ninja and Drako. However, both were then reduced to dust. Fortunately for the grieving Daimyo, Simultaneous decided to give his son a second chance, and revived the Ultimate Ninja as a younger version of himself.

The Ultimate Ninja later befriended the Turtles when they returned to the Battle Nexus for Michelangelo's rematch to determine the true victor of the Battle Nexus tournament. He remembered Leonardo, but decided that he must have been someone he played with and declared him his friend. He was temporarily held hostage to ensure that the Daimyo could not interfer with the removal of the Nexus' safety rules, but rescued by Leonardo.

"Ultimate Ninja" is not actually his real name, and the only person who seriously refers to him as this is himself (ie. he thinks of himself as The Ultimate Ninja). As with the other Battle Nexus inhabitants, he is referred to solely by his title, in his case, "The Daimyo's Son". In his action figure, however, his real name is given as "Ue-Sama", a name which eventually made its way into episode synopses featuring him. Whether the cartoon will officially accept this alternate name is, as of yet, unknown.

Ultimate Ninja's appearance and personality is based on Samurai Showdown's Genjuro Kibagami. He has so far appeared in 12 episodes:

1. The Ultimate Ninja
2. The Big Brawl, Parts 1 to 4
3. Time Travails
4. Reality Check
5. Across the Universe
6. Same As It Never Was
7. The Real World, Parts 1 to 2
8. Grudge Match

[edit] Verminator-X

A mutated feline from the late 21st century who repeatedly hounds the turtles. Educated at M.I.T., Verminator X (or Manx, as he was originally called) first came into the turtles' lives when he successfully partnered with Donatello in order figure out a solution to the flooding world's increasing rat population. With their reputations established and comfortable amounts of money gained, Manx set his sights on another goal: immortality.

Manx began experimenting with cybernetics, particularly its implementation in biological subjects. In time, he began experimenting on himself, implanting circuity in his brain and becoming a cyborg. Changing his name to Verminator-X, he began a life of crime.

Verminator-X's first appears in TMNT Adventures #36, in a story titled Steel Breeze. In it, he and the Shredder attempt to steal the legendary Black Stone of Mecca, said to grant immortality when used in conjunction with its sister, the White Stone. He then appears in the three-part Future Shark Trilogy, where his partnership with the Shredder and shark mutant Armaggon is explained.

During his last appearance, in the five-part story Dreamland, Verminator, lured by the promise of aid against an Earth-threathening asteroid, joins the brain-stealing alien Crainiac. After their plan is foiled by the turtles and their allies, Verminator is shot in the chest by Raphael after both face off in a Mexican stand-off. However, in the story's epilogue, Verminator, healed and apparently reformed is seen aiding Donatello in destroying the threathening asteroid. What brought him to change sides isn't explicitly explained, although it is suggested that there was some re-programming involved.

An expert in the field of cyber-technology, Verminator has altered his body several times, giving him enhanced strength, agility, and durability, which he uses in conjunction with his trademark gun. During his last appearance, he also developed a method for cybernetically resurrecting corpses, which he then used as flunkies. Calm and collected, he is usually the voice of reason between his usually-more-impulsive comrades. He was created by one of Mirage's staff writers Steve Murphy.

[edit] Viral

[edit] Wingnut

Wingnut is a humanoid, alien bat who was created by Mirage Studio's artist Ryan Brown and appeared in the cartoon series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He comes from the Archie comics version, TMNT Adventures and The Mighty Mutanimals. His partner is named Screwloose, although he seems to be the brighter of the two. The pair are not mutants, but the only surviving members of an alien race. Screwloose's sting would calm the sometimes insane Wingnut.

[edit] War

War is a fictional monstrous purple creature with big claws, and one of the evil forces of nature who have allied themselves with Null to defeat the Turtles. He is one of the four horseman of apocalypse, and appeared in the TMNT video game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters, however his allies Death, Famine, Pestilence and Null did not. They are originally from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics published by Archie comics.

[edit] Warrior Dragon

The Warrior Dragon is a featured character in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic book. He was made into a Playmates Toys action figure and was created by a Mirage Studio's artist Ryan Brown.

[edit] Wyrm

Created by Mirage Studio's staff artist Ryan Brown, Wyrm is a mutated garbageman. In the Archie Turtle comic Wyrm is a planarium worm exposed to Krang's mutagen. Bebop and Rocksteady dump a barrel in the sewer through which the planarium worm swims. He bears a striking resemblance to Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's many creations, including Rat Fink.

[edit] Dr. X

Based on a storyline by Leatherhead creator Ryan Brown, Dr. X is an Utrom who was left behind on Earth after the Utroms left to their homeplanet, and befriended Leatherhead. He also played chess with Splinter. Appears only in the Image comics.

He then joins the Foot Clan and leads the Shredder to the Guardians' hideout. Seeking revenge, Yoshi attacks the Foot Headquarters and faces Mashimi in a duel. After suffering a fatal wound, Mashimi asks Yoshi for forgiveness and dies thereafter. Mashimi is a new character introduced to the story to replace Oroku Nagi.

He is voiced by Sean Schemmel.

[edit] Prime Leader Zanramon

Prime Leader Zanramon is the tyrannical leader of the Triceraton Republic. He led the war against the Federation of D'Hoonib.

When Zanramon came to power, the once honorable Triceraton Republic became an organization obsessed with conquest and destruction. Like his counterpart General Blanque, Zanramon wished to use Professor Honeycutt's Teleportal against his enemies. He came very close to succeeding, capturing Honeycutt and his allies the Turtles. However, thanks to assistance from Traximus, a noble warrior whom Zanramon had imprisoned, they were able to escape, adding insult to injury by stealing Zanramon's personal space cruiser.

Zanramon later came to Earth with his fleet pursuing the Transmat beam that had liberated Honeycutt from his and the Federation's grasp. In his initial invasion, he made many threats against the people of Earth, and gave shows of force such as using an anti-gravity generator to lift Hong Kong into the sky. Eventually, he captured Donatello, and attempted to draw the Professor's location from his mind through a destructive interrogation device. However, Donatello's martial arts training allowed him to resist and retain his mind.

Zanramon left Earth upon realizing that Honeycutt was indeed gone, and set off for the Utrom Homeworld. However, he soon turned around when the Professor was revealed to have beamed back to Earth just after the fleet left. Arriving, he sent his troops down to Earth to capture Honeycutt. Soon, the search turned into war as hidden Federation forces revealed themselves. After Honeycutt downloaded a virus into the Federation Fleet, stopping them dead in space, Zanramon ordered his ships to open fire. However, his military commander refused, and Zanramon found himself at the mercy of Traximus' revolutionaries. He was last seen in a prison cell neighboring that of Blanque.

[edit] Zach

Zach is a child who admires the turtles greatly and aspires to help them fight crime. He first appears in the episode The Fifth Turtle of the 1987 series, where he gets in the way rather than actually helping. However, he begins to show up in more episodes, including some where he is quite helpful in stopping the criminals in their plot. He even sneaks into the base of Lord Dregg much later in the series, after Dregg replaces Shredder as the main villain.

[edit] Torbin Zixx

A notorious mercenary in the year 2105, hired by Sh'Okanabo to deliver a package to New York's Moonport. Despite his reputation as a ruthless, "all about the money" criminal, Zixx helps the turtles (who had been charged with stopping him by President Bishop) once he realizes that the package was in reality a bomb designed to destroy the Moonport. He is currently at large, having evaded capture by the turtles, and wishes to pay back Sh'Okanabo for what he almost made him do.

Torbin Zixx is played by John Campbell. He appeared in the Fast Forward episode Bishop to Knight.

[edit] Zog

In the original comics Zog was one of two Triceraton soldiers left on Earth when the Utroms left. Sometime later Raph found him in the sewers and the turtles used him to attack the foot. His mind was almost nothing, and he thought Raph was commander Zoraph. Zog was very reckless and almost killed Don. He was then sliced up by three mutated Shredder clones.

Zog is also the name of two characters from the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series.

The first Zog was a Triceraton soldier who became stranded on Earth after his fellows departed. Due to damage caused to his breath mask, he was mildly poisoned by Earth's atmosphere, causing him to become hallucenagenic. When the Turtles found him wandering around the sewers, he took them to be a Triceraton reconnaissance squad and Splinter as a general. Donatello repaired his breath mask, but despite this he continued to view them as Triceratons for the remainder of his guest appearance.

Zog proved to be a valuable ally to the Turtles, handily destroying a Foot Mech assassin cast in the image of Splinter. He later helped the Turtles destroy the remaining Foot Mechs and the facility that created them, but was fatally wounded by Shredder. Fighting on bravely, he grabbed Shredder in a bear hug and hurled himself into the heart of the burning ship. Sadly, Shredder survived, while Zog was lost to the depths.

Michelangelo later gave the name Zog to a triceratops that the Turtles met when they traveled to the Cretaceous Period to battle Savanti Romero. Zog befriended them after Mikey fed him potato chips, despite Donatello's misgivings. The brainiac Turtle also corrected Michelangelo when he mused that this Zog might be the Triceraton's great-great-grandpappy, reminding Mikey that the previous Zog was an alien.

The triceratops Zog proved a valuable ally in the battle against Savanti's mind-controlled dinosaurs. Over the course of the three months the Turtles were stranded in the past, Zog no doubt proved a further aid, and likely as a steed for Mikey.

The first Zog appeared in four episodes:

1. Turtles In Space, Part 5
2. Secret Origins, Part 1
3. Rogue In The House, Parts 1 to 2

While the second Zog appeared in two episodes:

1. Return of Savanti, Parts 1 to 2
