Mutagen

**Mutagen**, also known as is a mucilaginous substance that has served as a key plot device in nearly every medium of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Any creature that is exposed to mutagen will rapidly increase in size, strength and intelligence (sometimes). It is responsible for mutating, among others, Splinter, the four turtles, and villains Tokka & Rahzar in Turtles Forever.

## History

In the 2003 animated series, the mutagen was created by the Utroms while they were trying to create a Teleportal machine that will allow them to escape Earth back to their homeland after they crash-landed on Earth. Disguised as the technology company T.C.R.I. they had established in New York in order to allow the funds acquired through their transactions to return home. They tried to create the machine secretly. However, during its creation, the waste turned into a mutagen, with their attempts to dispose of it resulting in a canister falling off the back of a truck and mutating the turtles and Splinter when it fell into a sewer and splashed all over them. Much like in the Mirage Comics, the mutagen causes explicit growth, both physically and intellectually. Among the victims were the turtles, Leatherhead and Splinter.

### **Turtles Forever**

In the 25th Anniversary Special of the franchise, Turtles Forever. There were small capsules of what appeared to be purple mutagen which 88 Donatello took possession of from the 1988 Shredder from his dimension into to the 2003's Turtles. The mutagen was native to their world and still acted in the manner it did there as opposed to the Utrom variety. At least two members of the Purple Dragons were mutated by the mutagen. The first was Mohawk who was mutated into a half-dog mutant after coming into contact with a fighting dog in the Purple Dragons' custody. Hun was mutated into a half-turtle which was vaguely similar to Slash. A great deal of mutagen was mass-produced by Ch'rell and Karai. They used it to mutate Foot Ninjas into a mutant army which they used along with upgraded robot 1987 Foot Soldiers in the Foot's attack on New York in the 2003 universe.
Multiverse

A **Multiverse** or multi-verse is an infinite number of universes in which all possible events occur.

## 2003 TV Series

In the 2003 TV series the multiverse consists of different alternate universes and realities were shown to exist as apart of the show's lore. In the show we see in The Big Brawl, Part 1, that Multiverse often converges with each other and allow others to meet each other as seen with Battle Nexus is said to be the center or "nexus" of dimensions connecting many different worlds as shown including Earth which is refered to as Third Earth. Other worlds shown are when Ultimate Drako used the Time Scepter to send the Turtles across different realities. Such as the Super Turtles' Reality in Reality Check, in Across the Universe we seen the reality of the world and characters of Peter Laird and Jim Lawson's highly regarded "Planet Racers" series, a reality with a bad future version of the turtles reality is seen in Same As It Never Was, Usagi's Feudal world in The Real World, Part 1.
General Blanque

**General Blanque** was the head of the Federation military. He is a ruthless soldier and will use any means necessary to win. He was aided by his former assistant, Lonae.

The Federation has been at war with the Triceratons for a long time. Blanque wanted the teleportal device created by Professor Honeycutt in order to win the war and defeat the Triceratons once and for all, but Honeycutt flat out refused, as he built it for peaceful purposes. But when he found out about an accident which transferred Honeycutt's mind into a body of a robot, Blanque decided to capture the robot, now known as the Fugitoid, and extract the information.

He sent his soldiers to capture him, but his plans were hampered by the unexpected arrival of the Turtles, who decided to protect Honeycutt from both the Federation and the Triceratons. The Turtles and the Fugitoid had managed to evade capture until they were trapped in an uninhabited planet where they were surrounded by the Federation and the Triceratons. Fortunately for them, they were inexplicitly teleported away.

When the Fugitoid arrived on Earth after the initial Triceraton invasion, Blanque allied himself with Agent Bishop who helped him capture the Turtles in exchange for the Fugitoid. However, the Fugitoid had already erased information pertaining to the teleportal and unleashed a virus that stopped all Federation and Triceraton air fleets, sacrificing himself in the process. Blanque was last seen in a cell adjacent to Zanramon, the former leader of the Triceraton Republic, and arguing between the two commenced.
Minnetonka Mutant

The **Minnetonka Mutant** (real name **Todd**) was a mutant city worker who appeared in the 2003 TV series. Todd was working in the sewers when he was attacked by something. Later when the turtles were walking in the sewers they found Todd mutated into a cockroach mutant. In a fight with the turtles the Minnetonka Mutant stung Don and infected him with the Outbreak mutagen. Later on, Don mutated into a monster. The Minnetonka Mutant was caught by Baxter Stockman and his troops taken to Area 51 for further study in Bishop's lab. After Leatherhead (using and advancing Baxter Stockman's research) found a cure, Todd was transformed into a human again, and presumably was returned to New York.

Jhanna

In the 2003 TV series, **Jhanna** is a female warrior elected by an alien people to partake in a duel with Moriah, their wicked ruler who Jhanna swore to defeat during election time. The winner would gain rulership, and the loser would die. Upon traveling to the place at which the battle would take place, the vessel of Jhanna was blasted into the atmosphere of the Earth, where it crashed in Northampton. Meeting and teaming up with the Ninja Turtles, she soon found herself confronted by Moriah and her enchanted henchmen. After defeating Moriah, Jhanna spared her life and marked her with a reminder of her defeat. She left Donatello her warrior braid and departed in the morning following the battle and winning of the election.

## Notes

The circumstances under which Jhanna meets the Turtles and allied with them against Moriah corresponds to a large extent to her Mirage Comics template. However Jhanna's extraterrestrial origin has been emphasized even more clearly as her appearance is slightly altered by a change in her skin and hair color to blue, as opposed to how it appeared on the Mirage Studios cover, where she appeared more human-like.

One difference from the story is that she simply shames Moriah with a mark. Though in the 2003 TV series she puts Moriah in a stasis bubble and takes her back to their planet.
Ninja Turtles (Same As It Never Was)

The **Ninja Turtles** in the alternate future of the episode Same As It Never Was were mired by much loss, including the world's rule to The Shredder, the lives of Splinter and Casey Jones, and the whereabouts of one of their own.

Nunchaku

The **nunchaku** (or "nunchucks" as they are sometimes referred to on the show), is a weapon that consists of two sticks connected at their ends by a short chain or a length of rope. The word itself comes from nun (ヌン), meaning "twin" and shaku (尺), the approximate length of each arm of the nunchaku.

It is notable in the TMNT universe as being the main weapon of choice of Michelangelo, although a few characters throughout the franchise have been seen wielding them as well.

Nunchaku were traditionally wielded as a defensive weapon, used to lock joints and disarm weapons. Popular culture has shown nunchaku as a striking flail, which is how the weapon is often portrayed in TMNT media. They began as an ancient farming tool used to thrash grain.

## Episode

**Spoiler warning: *Plot or ending details {{[[Template:|]]}} follow.***
### *Voice-over introduction*

**Tengu Shredder:** After long, torturous years of enforced slumber, I have awoken to find this world, wanting. It is boisterous, filthy, and worst of all, a breeding ground for weakness. The pathetic ruler of this place, the mayor, lives here. A silly little puppet of the rabble, he knows nothing of true power! But it is my pleasure to educate him.

**Mayor:** (Cries out as Shredder bursts through the ceiling of his house)

**Tengu Shredder:** New York, as the natives call it, is better suited to fall into the ocean, than to hold the throne of the Emperor. However, it does hold a unique appeal. There is great power here. Power which I shall use to remake this world in my own image. I shall change ALL! The Shredder dynasty begins anew - TODAY!

### *Plot Synopsis*

Shredder begins to build a new dynasty in New York, transforming the whole island into a hellish nightmare. The Turtles team up with Karai in a daring plan to direct Shredder’s energy against him from mystical “Keystones” around Manhattan. Our heroes successfully battle the Keystone Wardens and pour their energies into the Keystones… but will it be enough?

## Quotes

***Mikey***:This is gonna be sooooo easy! (a mystic warden appears)

***Raph***:You and yo' big mouth.

***Raph***:Well, the ancient one said when we'll get close enough, we will feel it. (about the *keystones")*

***Mikey***:(notices the "keystone" and their amulets are gloving) Yeah, I think it feels us too.

Monza Ram

**Monza Ram** was a member of the Triceraton All-Star Team and the 22-Bout reigning champion of the Tri-Sports Arena “games.”

## Mirage Comics

Monza Ram and his team (Daz Ublem, Mixx Trolo, and Xiote Damaz) were once a popular team of fighters in the Triceraton Tri-Sports Arena.

Monza Ram and his people were called to the arena by the Supreme Leader of the Triceratons, Zanramon, to fight the Ninja Turtles. The Turtles, however, managed to kill him and his entire team in a duel. (TMNT Vol.1 # 6)

## Biography

Monza Ram was the leader of the Triceraton All-Star team and the champion of the Tri-Sports Arena. After the humiliating defeat by all 4 Turtles, Prime Leader Zanramon puts him and his comrades in the dungeon for punishment.
But, his friend Traximus helps him and his
comrades to get out of the guilty cage, to which they swore allegiance to him and joined his rebel movement. Later,
he meets 3 of the Turtles again and help them
rescue Donatello. He, Ia and the Turtles
are on the rescue mission in the sewers, then
they're attacking the guards so they can use
the computer for finding Donatello. They found
out he's in Zanramon's Throne Room. However,
the 3 Turtles are captured again and sent
to the throne room. One of the guards suggests
to send them to the torture chamber for more
agony. However, when they're in the corridor,
they were released by Monza Ram, who's
pretending to be one of the guards. He helps them steal Zanramons space cruiser right from under his nose, and escape from the base ship. He was voiced by David Zen Mansley.

Daimyo

The **Daimyo** is the master of the Battle Nexus. The Daimyo is supposedly a great warrior who introduced ninjutsu to Earth, and is the holder of the War Staff. He appeared in the 2003 TV series.

## History

The Daimyo first appeared to recover his son, the Ultimate Ninja, after the Ninja engaged Leonardo in a duel to the death. Following this, the Turtles met him upon their first visit to the Battle Nexus. His history with Master Splinter was briefly talked about, as he saved Miyamoto Usagi and Splinter from an attack by Drako. The Daimyo was excited that Splinter's sons had joined the Battle Nexus Championship, and he decreed that they be allowed to enter despite being improperly registered. However, this led to Drako seeking revenge and possession of the War Staff. The Daimyo, summoned by his son, was wounded by Drako's assassins. After being saved from a second attack by Usagi and Donatello, the Daimyo was forced to watch as his son and Drako were pulled into a warp caused by Drako's use of the War Staff. He closed it, and was left to grieve, after crowning Michelangelo as Battle Nexus Champion.

The Daimyo visited the Turtle Lair for a Christmas get together, along with Usagi and Gennosuke.

Some time later, when Leonardo came to the Nexus seeking his time-scattered family, he found the Daimyo weak and not thinking clearly. Ultimate Drako, the fusion of Drako and the Ultimate Ninja, had weakened him and were planning to destroy him. However, the Ninja could not hurt his father, and the Daimyo's son was returned to him as a young boy.

The Daimyo later judged Michelangelo's rematch with Kluh. He sensed the interference of the Levram wizard who removed the Battle Nexus anti-fatality spells, but could not intervene due to the Levrams taking his son hostage. After the Ultimate Ninja was rescued, the Daimyo took the Levrams prisoner.

Later on, at the end of Back to the Sewer, he watched April and Casey's wedding with his son from the throne room.

## Other media

The Daimyo appears in the game *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus*.

## Trivia

* The word "daimyo" is pronounced like "dime yoh" (/daɪmjoʊ/), but the show mispronounced it "dah mee yoh" (/dɑːmijoʊ/), as if spelt "damiyo."

Fists

**Fists** is an alien gladiator who fought in the Tri-Sports Arena games.

In the 2003 TV series episode "Turtles in Space, Part 4: The Arena" With Traximus, Monkey Face, Paz, and the Twins, Fists was ordered by Gruell to fight the turtles in the slave pen but was ultimately defeated by Donatello. Later in the arena, he was ordered by Zanramon to fight the turtles to the death, but refused.

Raphael (Clone)

**Dark Raphael** is the evil clone of Raphael created by Sh'Okanabo at the same time as the other Dark Turtles in Fast Forward.

## Biography

Not really being smart, Dark Raph often talks in bad English and is more of a representation of someone who is all brawn with no brains. He doesn't really think about what he's saying so often that he says sentences that aren't grammatically correct (e.g. "*I'm gonna make you not move no more*" from *Bad Blood*)

Acting upon rage like the actual Raphael, he often attacks violently, trying to slash people with his Twin Talon Knuckles like Raph would with his sais. When he is first seen, he wanted to crack Raph open to eat him in a sort of cannibalistic manner, but this could be also due to the fact food is scarce for them as Dark Leo suggested in *DNA is Thicker than Water*.

Raph also often suggests Dark Raph has bad breath during their fights, often angering the latter more.

Besides this, he seems to be very concerned about his image seeing as he takes offense to any mention of his appearance. Mikey uses this as a distraction in *The Fall of Darius Dun* and Dark Raph is knocked unconscious believing that he is pretty. The other clones appear to know of this trait as well, Dark Mike telling Darius Dun not to insult his looks at the end of the same episode. Dark Raph thinks about changing at certain points in his life.
Earth

After a revolt, they were free and spread across the seas. However, over the years, they began to die out due to human pollution, until only five remained (four males and one female). But there may be hope as the female died protecting her laid eggs.

They appeared in the episodes *The Entity Below* and *Sons of the Silent Age*.
Mogura Ninja

The **Mogura Ninja** are an anthropomorphic Ninja clan from Usagi Yojimbo comics. They appear in The Real World, Part 1, ambushing Noriyuki, Tomoe Ame, and Leonardo in an attempt to kidnap Noriyuki. They end up burying Tomoe underground, and have Leonardo and Noriyuki cornered, but are fought off by Miyamoto Usagi and Murakami Gennosuke. They later ambush Genosuke and Noriyuki at their campsite and take them to Hebi.

They are credited as being voiced by Eric Stuart ("Mogura Leader") and Gary Littman ("Mogura Ninja") in the casting sheets, but none of the ninja speak or make any sounds other than generic animalistic grunts that are unlikely provided by actors.

The original... demon Shredder! My brothers, even my fellow acolytes, have all been mastering their lessons. And they've all been granted incredible weapons. I haven't been so lucky.

## Quotes

Murakami Gennosuke

**Murakami Gennosuke** is a character from Stan Sakai's *Usagi Yojimbo* comic book series. Also known by his nickname of *Gen*, Gennosuke is an anthropomorphic Indian Rhinoceros bounty hunter who sometimes accompanies Miyamoto Usagi.

## History

### 2003 Series

Gennosuke is first seen in the episode "The Big Brawl, Part 2". He retains his persona as a shady bounty hunter, but unlike in *Usagi Yojimbo*, he is a heavy gambler, as opposed to being a drunkard in the comics. In the Battle Nexus Tournament he defeats an unknown Clawed combatant in Tier 1, an unknown Octopus Contestant in Tier 2 and receives a free pass to the semifinals, where he loses to Kluh. Notably, Gen irritates the Turtles with his behavior, as well as Casey, who he calls "Saru" (monkey or ape). In the episode "The Christmas Aliens", Gen comes to the Turtles' holiday party. In the episode "Samurai Tourist", inspired by a New York City citizen, Gennosuke dons an outfit nearly identical to Rocksteady's in the 1987 TV series.

Gennosuke appears in "Wedding Bells and Bytes" for Casey and April's wedding. When he realized he had to bring a present for the wedding, he tried to swipe Hisomi-Shisho's present as his own. Hisomi was not amused.

## Name Pronunciation

The name "Gennosuke" would be pronounced with a hard G sound and a nearly silent U. His name has never been pronounced correctly on the show; most of the time, his name has been said as if the G in his name would be pronounced with a "J", thus making his nickname sound like "Jen". In "Samurai Tourist", the G was pronounced correctly, but the U in his name was turned into a long U. His nickname is again pronounced like "Jen" by Usagi in "Wedding Bells and Bytes".

Rat King

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) the **Rat King** (who is never referred to as such and voiced by David Zen Mansley) appears in the episode "I, Monster", which is an adaptation of his first appearance in the Mirage Comics. Instead of dying like in the comics, the Rat King survives the fall into the silo after his fight with Leonardo.

Throughout "I, Monster", various flashbacks reveal the origin of this series' version of the Rat King; the episode reveals the Rat King was originally the **Slayer**, from the episode "Bishop's Gambit", a prototype bio-mechanical super soldier created by Agent Bishop using genetically manipulated, alien, the turtles, his own and Splinter's DNA. The Slayer was meant to be used to fight off any alien threats and was given a test run against the Turtles, who broke into Bishop's laboratory looking for the kidnapped Splinter. The Slayer was presumed destroyed when a fight between it, the Turtles, Splinter and Bishop flooded the agent's lab. In actuality, the Slayer survived and was sent hurtling through the sewers, eventually being deposited near the industrial park the events of "I, Monster" take place in. Losing several of its robotic parts, cloaking device and healing ability, the Slayer degenerated into an even more monstrous form, becoming the Rat King, as the rats don't fear him. It is never said how he controls rats, but presumably it is related to his being formed from mutated rat (Splinter's) DNA.

### Back to the Sewer

The Rat King later appears in the episode "Wedding Bells and Bytes", secretly watching Casey and April's wedding from a distance with a smile.

Though it's actually run by his maternal uncle Darius Dun who is trying to take it over from under his nephew's nose.

## History

Raptarr is a member of the Avian, a race of angel-like people who centuries ago had freed themselves from the Y'Lyntian race, who had mutated them from normal human stock to serve as slaves, flying guards and workers. Raptarr originally served as a warrior and defender of his people, until his former friend Mephos succumbed to the lust for power and after the reign of Avian City sought to enslave the human race from there. After a Civil War in the aerial Avian City, Raptarr voluntarily took up the task of staying on Earth and watching over its instigator, the Avian Mephos, who had been defeated and exiled to Earth following his capture. Once there, he began to harbor sympathies for the people of Earth and begin operating as a super-hero, called the Guardian Angel, to come to their aid and repeatedly foiled Mephos' plans for revenge.

Despite his constant monitoring Raptarr could not prevent Mephos from replacing his stolen wings and making new plans.
During their last encounter, Raptarr met the Turtles, whom he enlisted to help stop Mephos. During a nighttime confrontation with his nemesis Raptarr met the Turtles, who began to support him after Michelangelo recognized him as the guardian angel and Raptarr saved him from a fall from a roof. Using his new friends Raptarr, finally managed to neutralize Mephos and his followers. A Wing and a Prayer
