__NOTOC__ TABLE OF APPEARANCES This table shows a list of characters and their appearances on the nine major incarnations of the TMNT franchise: ? = Unknown, N = No, & Y = Yes. This table is not automatically generated, so please add new characters as they are added to the article. This list is of appearances, a brief mentioning or reference is not counted. ACE DUCK ANCIENT ONE The Ancient One was the sensei of Hamato Yoshi , and so serves as a sort of "great-grandfather" to the Turtles. The Ancient One took the young orphan Yoshi, along with his friend Yukio Mashimi, under his wing. He trained them in the arts of ninjitsu, and they became like brothers. The Ancient One also adopted Tang Shen, who fell in love with Yoshi, rather than with Mashimi. This caused Mashimi to grow jealous, and other factors eventually led to the young warrior's joining of the Foot Clan , murder of Shen, and subsequent death at Yoshi's hands. Following this, Yoshi left Japan for New York to work as a Guardian for the Utrom s, but not before bidding goodbye to the man who had been like a father to him. It was also the Ancient One's wisdom that brought about the naming of a pet rat found by Shen, who would later become Splinter Later, when Leonardo was filled with anger and guilt over his failure to defeat the Shredder in their final battle, Splinter sent him to receive training from the Ancient One. Leonardo first met the wise teacher while traveling down a country path, but did not realize it as the old man did not fit the image of a great martial arts instructor. The two travelled for a time, before arriving at the Ancient One's dojo. After battling a mystical manifestation of his anger, Leonardo came to realize that his traveling companion was the Ancient One. Later, as they sat talking, the Ancient One asked Leonardo what the object of the training was. He then reprimanded Leonardo for his attempted lengthy explanation, telling him to "explain simply." After Leonardo admitted that he had been his own worst enemy, the Ancient One told Leo the story of Yoshi and Mashimi, which Leo later told to the rest of 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 4, where he entered the Turtles' lair. When Splinter tells him the Turtles are out on an excercise run, 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 is impossible: to find his sons. The Ancient One is a short, elderly Japanese man. In the course of the series, he has two different appearances. Back when he trained Yoshi, he had long silver hair and beard, and wore a green robe. However, 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 older Ancient One is more humorous, as illustrated by his enquiry to Leonardo regarding payment for guiding him to the dojo before Leo knows who he is: "You got yen, give me yen. You got dollars, give me dollars. You got donuts, give me donuts. You got beef jerky, give me beef jerky. You got chocolate, give me chocolate." The older Ancient One is also rather flatulent, which disgusts Leonardo, to which the Ancient One replies: "It's just air!" 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 deliquency. 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 . BEBOP AGENT BISHOP 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 repurcussions. 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 lietenant. 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 Utrom s. 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. 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 Utrom's and sent back to Earth, presumably into the hands of the police. Judging by his continued absence, it seems that Karai did not take him with her when she got out. DANNY The son of April's boss, a teenage delinquant and a member of the Foot Clan. He lead 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. DONATELLO 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. DRAGONLORD No information given 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 excahnge 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 plummetted 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 it's 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: # The Big Brawl, Part 1 # The Big Brawl, Part 2 # The Big Brawl, Part 3 # The Big Brawl, Part 4 # Time Travails # Reality Check # Across The Universe # Same As It Never Was # The Real World, Part 1 # The Real World, Part 2 LORD DREGG No information given 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". 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. 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 but 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. Whether he died or not is unknown, but so far he has not been seen again. Garbageman has so far appeared in 2 episodes: # Garbageman # Junklantis 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 Turtes and called them the nanoturtlebots. TOUCH AND GO Touch and Go are a duo of villains sometimes hired by Hun. They were Hired To Assassinate the Turtles and Master Splinter and later called on to help with some Weapons Shipments . Touch and Go draw their power from pressing their fists together to power up their bodies. Once powered up, they become faster, stronger, and have a certain level of invulnerability. The power up is short-lived as they 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 ''. PROFESSOR HONEYCUTT HUN Hun is a large, hulking bully, powerful but skilled in martial arts. He is the main henchman of The Shredder . He became leader of the Purple Dragons after the Shredder killed the previous leader for his incompetence, suggesting he was second in-command while Dragon Face was third. Hun also has some power in the Foot Clan , though not enough to unite the clan during the Shredder's absence. When Hun and the Purple Dragons were younger, they burned down Casey's father's store and Casey's father died. This caused Casey to develop a personal vendetta against Hun and the Purple Dragons. His favorite weapons aside from his powerful, enormous fists are a metal-chain and a Bazooka . In this continuity, it was Hun that first entered the home of Hamato Yoshi in order to kill him and received a scar from his rat Splinter before the rat escaped. In other continuities where Hamato Yoshi was killed, it was the Shredder himself who was so scarred (though such a twist would have made no sense, due to the nature of this version's Shredder). Hun and Baxter Stockman have an uneasy friendship due to the fact they both served the Shredder but are now considered expendible 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. 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 that Stockman's brain container is attached to Hun's body (due to an experiment of the Shredder's) and that they have joined the Turtles' rebellion army — although Hun is still loyal to the Shredder. Every major battle, Hun falls off or down something and yells "crud", and is shown again. Hun later finds out that the Shredder, Oroku Saki, in actuality is an Utrom and was shocked. He is left on Earth when Shredder leaves for space, after falling down a shaft with Leatherhead and surviving. Hun reorganized the Purple Dragons into a crime syndicate, and begins big time operations. Hun now doesn't seem to like Shredder after learning that he is an Utrom and even asks Karai how could she serve the Shredder knowing that he was an Utrom. 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. JHANNA No information given CASEY JONES 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 to good for her. She went into a dark phase but after an incident involving werewolves. 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 ninjitsu which was taught to her by Splinter until his death. KARAI KENO A pizza delivery guy trained in the Martial Arts . Appears in the second movie. KENSHIN Japanese prince and son of Lord Norinaga. He is displeased with his father's war of injustice. Picks up a magic scepter and switches places with April O'Neal. KING OF THIEVES No information given 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. Kluh later 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. 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. Shortly after the Turtles discovered that Klunk had had kittens with an alley cat. Klunk also appears in a few episodes of the 2003 cartoon starting with The Christmas Aliens. KOROBON Korobon is an Utrom who declared himself ambassador to Earth from the Utrom Confederation. He addressed the U.N. on live television and explained what the Utroms had planned to do on Earth. KRANG IRMA LANGINSTEIN Irma Langinstein is a young woman who works as a Secretary at Channel 6 . Irma, who is Aprils best friend, is interested in men. Irma is also a friend to the turtles. Irma and April visited Europe during the ''Vacation in Europe'' episodes. 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. LEATHERHEAD LEONARDO YUKIO MASHIMI Childhood friend of Hamato Yoshi. They trained under the Ancient One together, and fell in love with Tang Shen together. They later joined the Guardians together. But Yoshi's success there, combined with the fact Shen loved Yoshi more, pushed Mashimi to betray them all to the Foot Clan. Mashimi killed Shen, and was later killed by Yoshi. As he lays dying, he tells Yoshi how sorry he was. He was introduced to the series to replace Oroku Nagi, who couldn't technically exist as Saki's brother, as Saki is non-human in the series. 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. Came back to the Avian city to conquer it. Was defeated by Rapptar and the Turtles. MICHELANGELO MITSU Leader of the rebellion against Lord Norinaga. She is in love with Norinaga's son Kenshin. MONDO GECKO In the 1987 TMNT Cartoon , Mondo Gecko begun his life as a normal Lizard who fell into the New York City s Sewer s 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 Street s, he went up and met Robber . Among the robbers were Mondo Gecko, now a mutated and talking lizard who was raised by Gangster s. Mondo Gecko was now member of a Gang who worked for "Mr. X", a gangster boss. But Michaelangelo conviced Mondo Gecko to turn on Michaelangelos side. Together they fought Mr. X. After this, Mondo Gecko ends his life as a criminal and moved to the sewers and became "neighbor" 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 he latest was in contact with a lizard he often carried on his Shoulder s, he was mutated in a talking human lizard. His girlfriend decied to split up with him. In this version, Mondo Gecko was also a skilled Skateboarder . Later, he became a member of the team Mutanimals . 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 had involved time travel and, therefore, 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. MORIAH No information given 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. 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 Utrom s. 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. 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 tutles 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. NOBODY A New York cop who moonlights as a masked vigilante. He is dead in the current comic continuity. In the 2003 cartoon, he has appeared in these two episodes: # Nobody's Fool # Still Nobody LORD NORINAGA A Japanese warlord in war with Mitsu's rebellion. APRIL O'NEIL 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 the Brotherhood , a race of carnviorous repiltian humaniods who told him 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. PROFESSOR OBLIGADO Obligado was brilliant Utrom scientist. His death and life are shown in the pack pages of several issues of the current Tales of the TMNT. RAHZAR RAPHAEL RAPTARR In the volume 4 comics he is merely a winged super hero who saves Mike when he falls out of a flying ambulance. He was last seen having his wings broken by a monster version of Raph. In the 2003 series he was friends then enemies with Mephos. He was aided by the turtles to defeat Mephos. RAT KING 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: # Time Travails # Return Of Savanti, Part 1 # Return Of Savanti, Part 2 ROCKSTEADY 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 plummetted to the lake below. TANG SHEN Lover of Hamato Yoshi. Their relationship earned them the deadly jealousy of Oroku Nagi in the Mirage Comics, Oroku Saki in the first TMNT movie, and Yukio Mashimi in the 2003 cartoon. In the 2003 animted series, Tang Shen was raised by the Ancient One along with Hamato Yoshi and Yukio Mashimi. She was like a daughter to the Ancient One, acting as the glue that held the family together. Gentle, loving and kind to all, she adopted a rat that had entered into their home. The rat would eventually become Splinter . Eventually she and Hamato Yoshi fell in love. She was murdered by Yukio Mashimi. SHREDDER SILVER SENTRY 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 Triceraton s, but they are repulsed. 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 it's 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. 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 Tree s, 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 Sword s and wrecking the Technodrome before being sent to Earth due to some quick thinking on the original mutants' parts. 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, where he was from another Planet teeming with palm trees (although a recent alien invasion cut down the palm trees, making Slash angry). In the comics, Slash was tricked into aiding Krang and Bellybomb . This version of Slash looked just like a regular Ninja Turtle, but had fangs instead of teeth and wore a black mask. The cartoon version of Slash had spikes on his shell and two teeth sticking out of each side of his upper jaw. He also wore crude mechanical armour, giving him a vaguely cyborg-like appearance. In this version, Slash later teamed up with the Mutanimals and committed suicide to kill ''Malinga''. Slash appeared in two videogames. The first was , 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. Although not seen in the 2003 version, Donatello looks vaguely like Slash after he is mutated, due to contaminants entering his Blood stream from a scratch received in a fight with Agent Bishop 's mutations. SPLINTER CHIEF STERNS New York police chief who doesn't think there are any ninjas in New York City. Appeared in the first movie, and in one scene of the second movie. 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. BAXTER STOCKMAN TATSU Shredder's right-hand man, and second-in-command of the Foot Clan. BURNE THOMPSON Burne Thompson is the boss for Channel 6 . Burne Thompson and the cameraman Vernon Fenwick often blame the turtles for crimes. Burne Thompson has a girlfriend named Tiffany. TOKKA TOUCH Touch and Go are a duo of villains sometimes hired by Hun. They were Hired To Assassinate the Turtles and Master Splinter and later called on to help with some Weapons Shipments . Touch and Go draw their power from pressing their fists together to power up their bodies. Once powered up, they become faster, stronger, and have a certain level of invulnerability. The power up is short-lived as they 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 ''. 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 one videogame, the , Traag himself was missing. 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. 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. Ultimate Daimyo has appeared in eight episodes: # The Ultimate Ninja # The Big Brawl, Part 1 # The Big Brawl, Part 2 # The Big Brawl, Part 3 # The Big Brawl, Part 4 # The Christmas Aliens # The Real World, Part 2 # Grudge Match 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, even attempting to kill Leonardo after the fight ended. The Ultimate Damiyo made his son ask for the Turtles' forgivness, 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 palyed 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 has so far appeared in 12 episodes: # The Ultimate Ninja # The Big Brawl, Part 1 # The Big Brawl, Part 2 # The Big Brawl, Part 3 # The Big Brawl, Part 4 # Time Travails # Reality Check # Across The Universe # Same As It Never Was # The Real World, Part 1 # The Real World, Part 2 # Grudge Match VENUS DE MILO WALKER An English trader working with Lord Norinaga. WHIT An English mercenary working for Walker, but sided with the Turtles and the rebellion when Walker threatens to kill them. Possibly an ancestor of Casey Jones. DR. X 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. HAMATO YOSHI 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 assisstance 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. 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, 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 Triceratons. 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 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. |
