Character Spotlight: Irma

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: Irma!

Irma was a mainstay of the 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. She first appeared in the episode "Return of the Shredder" (October 1988) as Burne's secretary and April's best friend, and is one of the few humans that knows about the Turtles.

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #83 (June 2018), Irma Langenstein appears as a Channel 6 news reporter.

For right now, as far as I know, it's just a cameo. But small details become important later on in this series all the time, so you never know!
