Character Spotlight: Jagwar (IDW)

The current run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics by IDW is trying to more or less be the definitive TMNT story by synthesizing all the Ninja Turtles media that came before it. As such, that means it has had a ton of canon immigrants and will continue to have many more.

This week: Jagwar!

I've talked about Jagwar before on this blog, so you can go there to read more about him (short version: he was an unproduced toy idea that was included in the animated spin-off comic), but it was a little different. In that instance, he only appeared in an alternate reality that represented the animated universe, so he was only technically a canon immigrant. But he is now an official, full-fledged canon immigrant.

In IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #71 (June 2017), Jagwar appears - as a female this time. Instead of being a Mutanimal, she's a member of the Pantheon, a family of mostly-animalistic gods.
