==Biography==
Leatherhead is the sister of the many mutant experiments rescued by Superfly. With nobody else to guide Wingnut and the others through life, Superfly raised the mutants on his own, becoming a father figure and elder brother to them. After Superfly and his found family attempted to make contact with humans and were treated like monsters, Superfly was convinced - and convinced his family - that humans were the real monsters, piling on the slaying of his father as additional evidence.
So Superfly and his crew of mutants went to build a machine that would mutate all of the world's animals and allow them to overpower and eliminate humanity. Superfly preferred to work under the radar most of the time and hire human thugs to steal things for him, but when that wouldn't suffice, his family would use their talents.
Four other mutants, the Ninja Turtles, investigate Superfly and his gang's robberies, and are welcomed into the family as "cousins" when Superfly realizes that Stockman's ooze made them what they are. The Turtles begin bonding with certain members of the crew.
Superfly then has the Turtles ride along with his crew to transport a piece of the assimilator back to their hideout near Staten Island.
Superfly sends the Turtles over the overpass and the gang takes the assimilator piece on their own. After the Turtles escape another predicament and regroup with their Master Splinter, they head to the boat graveyard at Staten Island and attempt to stop the crew from achieving their goal. The Turtles convince the gang that Superfly's plan is horrible and that humans have done some good in their time, and they are persuaded to stop their elder brother from turning on the device. The four Turtles, Splinter, and the other mutants battle him to keep him from turning it on, but when he is knocked into it and electrocuted, he hits the power button. Rocksteady and Bebop knock the machine and Superfly into the water, but the machine combined him with local aquatic and wildlife, transforming him into a massive monstrosity calling himself "Superduperfly". In his rage, Superduperfly headed toward mainland New York and attacked it, while the Turtles, Splinter, and Superduperfly's ex-gang fought him off. After the Turtles dropped some anti-ooze into his blowhole to regress him to a normal fly, Leatherhead and the other mutants went to live with the Turtles in the sewer.

==Trivia==
*This version of Leatherhead are a non-binary character but the Novelization uses She/her, making this version of the character female.
*In the flashback of the childhood of Superfly's gang, Baby Leatherhead resembled their version from the 1987 cartoon.
*When Rose Byrne was chosen to do the voice of Leatherhead, Seth Rogen asked her to make her voice fully Australian, Byrne channeled her voice to the best of herself and thought of actor Eric Bana and her role as Leatherhead was a tribute to Eric Bana. 
*Leatherhead, along with Scumbug and Wing Nut, are the three characters transgendered in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
*They takes elements from their Fred Wolf Cartoon and IDW Incarnations where Leather had is a villain and then becomes a hero and ally to the turtles like their 2003 and 2012 counterparts.
