Thirty Days of Turtles: Street Phantoms

Recently I decided that if I want to keep having new content on this blog, I'm going to have to branch out beyond Marvel and DC. They'll always bring in new content, and I'm sure I'll continue to find old ones I've missed, but it's time to move toward more unfamiliar territory. With that in mind, and because they have a new movie out, I thought I'd kick this new era off with Thirty Days of Turtles!

That's right: From June 3 to July 2, there'll be a post each day highlighting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles canon immigrants. Now, because TMNT canon is a little confusing, it can be hard to tell what counts as a canon immigrant and what doesn't. So for the purposes of this blog, a TMNT canon immigrant is anything (a) from the movies, cartoons, video games, toy lines, or tie-in comic series that later appeared in (b) TMNT volumes 1, 2, or 4 [because they're by the original creators] or TMNT volume 5 [because the original creators are involved, it's the new official continuity, and its goal is to use as much of the diverse TMNT lore as possible].

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: the Street Phantoms!

The Street Phantoms are a street gang in the future that first appeared in the Fast Forward episode "Future Shellshock" (July 2006). They get their name from cloaks that let them turn invisible, and they're led by a cyborg called Jammerhead.

This is pretty much the exact situation they're in when they appear in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #51 (October 2015), only this time they're in the present, Jammerhead is just "Jammer", and they ultimately work for Darius Dun.

Thirty Days of Turtles: Darius Dun

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Darius Dun!

Darius Dun was essentially the Ninja Turtles version of Lex Luthor; while the public saw him as the upstanding head of a major company, he actually used that company for various nefarious means. Unlike Luthor, however, he lived in the next century. Dun first appeared in the Fast Forward episode "Obsolete" (August 2006).

In the IDW world, Dun plays much the same role, only he's in the present and he's working with the Street Phantoms. He first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #51 (October 2015).

Thirty Days of Turtles: Foot Mystics

Recently I decided that if I want to keep having new content on this blog, I'm going to have to branch out beyond Marvel and DC. They'll always bring in new content, and I'm sure I'll continue to find old ones I've missed, but it's time to move toward more unfamiliar territory.

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Foot Mystics!

In the 2003 series, Foot Mystics are a special team of Foot Clan members that can each control one of the five elements (fire, water, earth, metal, and wind). They first appeared in the episode "Return to New York, part 2" (October 2003), and stuck around for the rest of the series, even being the primary antagonists of The Lost Episodes, aka season 5a. They have two forms - the ones above and the ones below:

Foot Mystics later showed up in Tales of the TMNT vol. 2. Their first appearance was issue #2 (March 2004), in a script that was originally written to be part of the 2003 series tie-in comic. Despite that being the case, Foot Mystics became a recurring part of this series, although they seem - from my limited knowledge - to be more of a class of Foot Clan member than a specific group in this continuity. They also don't have the same design as the Mystics of the animated series...

...although that changes in Tales of the TMNT #43 (January 2008):

Thirty Days of Turtles: Foot Clan Symbols

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Foot Clan Symbols!

In the 80s cartoon, the Foot Clan's symbol was a red human footprint, like so:

But in the 2003 series, the symbol was changed to be a three-toed dragon footprint:

The IDW series splits the difference. As we see in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret History of the Foot Clan #1 (January 2013) (as an example; I don't know if these are the actual first appearances of these symbols), the feudal-era Foot Clan uses the human footprint...

...while the current Foot Clan uses the dragon one.

Thirty Days of Turtles: Pete

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Pigeon Pete!

I don't know if this is where I should start, but it's where I'm going to start: in the 80s cartoon episode "What's Michelangelo Good For?" (October 1990), Michelangelo has a pet pigeon named Pete. Pete, however, is just a normal pigeon.

In the 2012 series, a mutated pigeon named Pete appeared in the episode "The Gauntlet" (November 2012) to help April rescue her father. He later joined the Mighty Mutanimals. I have no idea if he's named after the above Pete, but he probably is.

Pete later appeared in the IDW series as Old Hob's first attempt at creating a mutant. It did not go well, and this version has more criminal tendencies than the Nick cartoon version. He first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #35 (June 2014), and later joined the Mighty Mutanimals as well.

Thirty Days of Turtles: Dreadmon

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Dreadmon!

Dreadmon first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #15 (September 1990). Despite going on to become a Mutanimal, he's not actually a mutant. He was turned into a wolf creature by a magical talisman.

Dreadmon would later go on to cameo with (most of) the rest of the Mutanimals in Mirage's Tales of the TMNT #58 (May 2009), although it's important to note that this is still the "animated" version because it's in a scene of the multiverse.

Thirty Days of Turtles: Leatherhead

They'll always bring in new content, and I'm sure I'll continue to find old ones I've missed, but it's time to move toward more unfamiliar territory.

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Leatherhead!

I should say upfront that "Leatherhead", as a concept, is not a canon immigrant. He first appeared very early on in the Mirage comics and has appeared in most adaptations since. I'd say that, next to Slash, he's probably the most enduring non-Turtle clan mutant.

That being said, this Leatherhead is a little bit different. Instead of being a mutated alligator, he's a human named Jess Harley that was mutated into an alligator. He's also from Louisiana, which none of the other Leatherheads are. He first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #6 (October 1989), and would later go on to join the Mutanimals.

Side note: despite this series being a spinoff of the animated series, the animated series actually has a different Leatherhead. Although the characters look very similar, that one did in fact start out as an alligator instead of a human, and is also from Florida instead of Louisiana.

Leatherhead would later go on to cameo with (most of) the rest of the Mutanimals in Mirage's Tales of the TMNT #58 (May 2009), although it's important to note that this is still the "Adventures" version because it's in a scene of the multiverse.

Thirty Days of Turtles: Wingnut

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Wingnut!

Wingnut first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2 (1989), a mini-comic - 1 of 3 - that came packaged with Ninja Turtles cereal. (Man Ray would also debut in this series.)

Wingnut would later appear in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #8 (January 1990) as a Batman parody, with Screwloose as his Robin. He would also go on to appear in the toy line and the animated series.

Wingnut would later go on to cameo with (most of) the rest of the Mutanimals in Mirage's Tales of the TMNT #58 (May 2009), although it's important to note that this is still the "Adventures" version because it's in a scene of the multiverse. It's also worth noting that Screwloose does NOT appear in this scene.

Wingnut can appear as a hero or villain depending on the continuity, and despite being a Mutanimal, he is actually an alien instead of a mutant. (Now that I think about it, very few of the Mutanimals are mutants.)

Thirty Days of Turtles: Jagwar

Recently I decided that if I want to keep having new content on this blog, I'm going to have to branch out beyond Marvel and DC. They'll always bring in new content, and I'm sure I'll continue to find old ones I've missed, but it's time to move toward more unfamiliar territory.

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Jagwar!

Jagwar first appeared in 1989 as a sketch for potential Playmates action figures. That action figure would never get made, but Jagwar would go on to appear in the animated series spin-off comic.

Jagwar would first appear in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #14 (August 1990). Despite going on to become a Mutanimal, Jagwar is not actually a mutant. Instead, he's from a secret tribe of jaguar people.

Jagwar would later go on to cameo with (most of) the rest of the Mutanimals in Mirage's Tales of the TMNT #58 (May 2009), although it's important to note that this is still the "animated" version because it's in a scene of the multiverse.

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Mondo Gecko!

Mondo Gecko first appeared in the 1990 toy line, along with other characters who would go on to become Mutanimals, such as Man Ray, Wingnut, and Mutagen Man.

The next year, he would appear in both the 80s cartoon and the comic tie-in, although these two versions don't match up. The Mondo Gecko that first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Adventures #18 (February 1991) was a human mutated into a gecko, while the animated version that appeared in September of that year was a gecko turned into a humanoid.

Mondo Gecko would later go on to cameo with (most of) the rest of the Mutanimals in Mirage's Tales of the TMNT #58 (May 2009), although it's important to note that this is still the "Adventures" version because it's in a scene of the multiverse.

In the world of IDW, Mondo Gecko appears as one of Old Hob's first successful mutations beginning in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #38 (October 2014).

Thirty Days of Turtles: Man Ray

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Man Ray!

Man Ray first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #5 (September 1989), the first issue not to adapt one of the cartoon episodes. He would later join the Mutanimals.

To be thorough, I should also mention that his first appearance MAY be in a series of mini-comics released with Ninja Turtles cereal. I know they were released in 1989, but I don't know if that's before or after the above issue. But for the record, he appeared in mini-comic #3 (#2 features the first appearance of Wingnut):

Man Ray would later go on to cameo with (most of) the rest of the Mutanimals in Mirage's Tales of the TMNT #58 (May 2009), although it's important to note that this is still the "animated" version because it's in a scene of the multiverse.

Man Ray is one of the only Mutanimals to make the jump to the IDW continuity, although there, he's usually just called Ray. He first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutanimals #2 (March 2015).

Thirty Days of Turtles: Mutanimals

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Mutanimals!

A note up front - this entry is talking specifically about the team. The individual members all have their own things going on, so they'll each get their own entry. And the IDW team has almost an entirely different roster.

That being said, the team first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #19 (April 1991) before being spun-off into their own miniseries, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Present Mighty Mutanimals (May-July 1991). This led to an ongoing series, and then some backup stories in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures. This team consists of Man Ray, Dreadmon, Jagwar, Mondo Gecko, Leatherhead, Wingnut, and Screwloose. Interestingly, Screwloose is the only one that doesn't become a canon immigrant in some way.

In the Mirage continuity, the Mutanimals made a cameo appearance in Tales of the TMNT #58 (May 2009), in a scene showing the multiverse.

In the IDW continuity, Old Hob starts putting together a gang of mutants in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #38 (October 2014). In the next issue, he uses the term "mighty mutant animals". They continue to appear, and eventually get their own miniseries, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutanimals (February-May 2015). This version consists of Old Hob, Herman the Hermit Crab, Pigeon Pete, Mondo Gecko, Slash, Man Ray, Sally Pride, Mutagen Man, and a few others.

Thirty Days of Turtles: Null

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Null!

Null first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #15 (September 1990) as an evil businessman. Over time, readers learned that he was a demon - possibly the Devil himself - and each act of evil he did caused him to become more demonic-looking. He became the primary antagonist of the Mutanimals and one of the deadliest Ninja Turtles villains around.

Null is also the antagonist of the Mutanimals in the IDW series, first appearing in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutanimals #1 (February 2015). She's female this time, but beyond that she's still a demonic, evil businessperson.

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Angel!

Angel is a former member of the Purple Dragons street gang who first appeared in the 2003 series episode "Fallen Angel" (March 2003). She lived in Casey's neighborhood, and he was able to get her out of the gang, after which she became an ally to the Turtles.

In the IDW series, she's known as Angel Bridge. This version of Angel is older and grew up with Casey instead of being watched over by him. He still rescued her from the Purple Dragons, but later she rejoined the Dragons as their leader and turned them into a vigilante group. Later still, she started wearing an exosuit and began calling herself "Nobody". She first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #11 (April 2012).

With that in mind, let's look at today's entry: Metalhead!

Metalhead is a robot turtle created by Krang and programmed with all the memories of the Turtles. He first appeared as an action figure in 1989, before appearing in the 80s cartoon in November of that year in the episode "The Making of Metalhead". Eventually, Donatello reprogrammed him to be a good guy.

In IDW continuity, Metalhead was created as a security robot by Donatello's ally and StockGen employee Harold Lillja, but a glitch caused him to target StockGen employees. He first appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #34 (June 2014) and was named by Angel.
