Fugitoid

Professor Honeycutt also known as Dr. Honeycutt is a semi-retired scientist from the planet D'Hoonib whose mind was transferred into his working robot as both were struck by lightning. He is the recurring character of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, taking his role as the supporter in comics and TV series.
As he refused to build a transmat device (a means of teleportation) for General Blanque of the Federation military in their war against the Triceraton Republic, he was categorized as a "Fugitoid" (short for "fugitive android"). The character was introduced in a series of strips in the Gobbledygook comics that was later finished in a one off self-titled comic book and then guest starred in the original TMNT issues 5 to 7, and later became a recurring character in the main TMNT comic.
Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird had conceived the character years before the Turtles, and were even writing a Fugitoid comic they night they came with the TMNT concept. Eventually the character was introduced to the Turtles' universe with said issue becoming a lead-in to issue 5.
==Bio==
Professor Honeycutt was a Neutrino scientist who used to work for Krang. Honeycutt's wife Marra worried about the influence of evil that was oppressing the Neutrino people, including their family. She convinced him to have them join the Neutrino resistance. Three months later, Krang's armies had found where the resistance compound was and targeted it for attack. A fire broke out, and the living quarters were locked down due to safety protocols. Rather than let Marra, their son Ely, and the rest of the families burn to death, Honeycutt used SAL to breach the flames and override the safety protocols.
By doing so, he sacrificed his own body where he became trapped within SAL in the process. Honeycutt saved the families, but his victory was short-lived. Sergeant Granitor ordered an attack on the fleeing families killing them all. Honeycutt could do nothing but watch them die on the security monitor. Not long after, Honeycutt had made it back to the lab, and Granitor and some Rock Soldiers found him. Honeycutt restrained himself from tearing apart the man who gave orders to kill his family and instead escaped through the portal he had been working on. Now in New York City on Earth, Honeycutt masqueraded as a blonde male to hide from the Rock Soldiers.
Honeycutt took a job with Baxter Stockman at StockGen calling himself Chet Allen. Stockman worked with Krang, so Honeycutt was hidden within plain sight. Krang referred to the professor's new form as a "fugitive android." Rather than involve more innocents in the fight, Honeycutt allied himself with the Foot Clan. Although Honeycutt knew the Foot Clan were evil, they were enemies of Krang and his forces as well.
==Trivia==
*The Fugitoid is one of Mirage Studios' oldest characters, predating even the TMNT. He was the first joint Eastman and Laird creation.
*The design of the Fugitoid was inspired by the Russ Manning's comic book "Magnus, Robot FIghter 4000 A.D.".
