TMNT What If?

[Slap-Happy]

What If Marvel Published a TMNT comic?

Imagine The Possibilities

[oldmanwinters]

1. What if...
The Turtles had not fallen down the sewer drain? What if Splinter alone had become a giant rat without students? Would he have thought out his revenge on Shredder?

2. What if...
April was evil and had gone along with Stockman's mouser scheme? Would the city have been overthrown by an unstoppable horde of mousers? Would Splinter and the TMNT have survived the assualt on the sewers?

3. What if...
The Utroms were really intergalatic terrorists duping Splinter and the Turtles into taking out General Blanque and their Triceraton competition?

4. What if...
The Turtles had been raised by the evil Shredder instead of Splinter?

5. What if...
Raphael had accidentally killed Casey Jones in their first meeting and kept silent about it? Would the Turtles had survived the events of Leonardo #1 and TMNT #10?

6. What if...
Kirby and Donatello both got stuck in Warp Crystal's fantasy land?

7. What if...
Raphael surpassed Leonardo as the more capable leader of the TMNT at an early age?

8. What if...
Renet and the Turtles had never found in the time scepter in the giant prehistoric fish in Tales 1.7? What would the time spectrum be like with the Turtles stuck in prehistoric times? Better yet, what if the Time scepter could not take them to the right time, but sent them through time in a "quantum leap"-like series of adventures?

9. What if...
Master Yoshi had survived Saki's attack unbeknownst to Splinter?

10. What if...
The Foot Clan had rebelled against Saki's leadership and followed their tradition?

Actually, I had at least one idea like this I'd been plotting out for fun. I only hesitate to post it here because the introduction of the "alternate unvierse" gimmik to TMNT: mirage through the battle nexis means if I ever actually got the chance to publish with mirage I could potantially use it (and things that have shown up on the net as fanwork rarely get published)

Still, I like number 3 (cause it's an easy way to introduce an utrom-krang) 6, and 7 alot.

[Jon]

Well... this would be an interesting concept. Having "What If?" stories [basically ala-fanfics] based on the various continuities (from the different comics, or shows, etc.).

[Buslady]

Marvel producting TMNT would be the worst thing out there. Marvel and DC are hyped up, over plotted, over sensationalised....TMNT is unique, keep it that way.


What if those are Mikey's kids the Regenta's eggs carry?

[Evenstar227]

When I read the OP I had visions of big breasted women in skimpy outfits with impossible hair and muscle-bound men traipsing about the pages of TMNT along with the boys, and I was like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!". Then I read the replies and realized zeromagnus meant the What If? comics. :tanime:

I like the concept of What If? stories, but I agree that Marvel should not be the one to do them.

Oooooo.....

[superturtle]

then they most likely wud have a crosover with hulk ot batman or spiderman;)

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

I'd like to see "what ifs" of the old cartoon.

Right now one that comes to mind is, what if it was a 50 foot April instead of a 50 foot Irma?

[Coola Yagami]

Get me wetsuit... I'M GOIN IN!!!

[NameGoesHere1066]

eww, Coola Yagami. :sick:

what if the turtles where all female instead of male?

[Spitfire]

If Marvel did turtles there'd be some guest super hero every issue to force fans of other series to buy the comic so they have all the issues featuring that character. 90% of the time it'd be someone lame or someone no ones ever heard of. Also there'd be a giant entire universe crossover once a year the turtles would get dragged into and have a 2 page bit role in.

It's pretty much be a comic written around crossovers. I don't even read anything but turtles anymore but anytime I go to the store to buy turtles comics thats what all the comic covers look like to me.

[Darth Shredder]

eww, Coola Yagami. :sick:

what if the turtles where all female instead of male?


They'd all fight for The Shredder's affections. And Master Splinter would be screwed as far as exacting revenge for Yoshi.

[Galactus]

Isn't that what the Image run was like? There was an early cameo by Mako and Savage Dragon was a given to a appear but it did seem for a while that Larsen was trying to entice fans of some of his minor characters whose books were cancelled to try and buy vol. 3 with continual guest appearances.

My memories also fuzzy but weren't the turtles also involved on one of Image's crossovers (the one that tied in with the release of the Mars Attacks movie) in very minor way.

That being said, if the turtles were at Marvel I wonder were each character would have sided during Civil War.

What If Marvel Published a TMNT comic?

Imagine The Possibilities:D
I don't think it'd be as edgy.

[shuriken]

eww, Coola Yagami. :sick:

what if the turtles where all female instead of male?

They would be named Leona, Donatella, Michelle and...Rosy?
What if there was a Batman TMNT crossover?(don't hit me)

[KROW]

what if the turtles where all female instead of male?

Jarrah would have been banned in five months.


What if there was a Batman TMNT crossover?(don't hit me)

There would most likely be a fight between Killer Croc and Leatherhead. Croc doing stuff, Leatherhead getting the blame, Batman fighting the turtles because they'd try to clear Leatherhead's name... something like that.

[Jester]

Would they? Splinter just named them from the book, it's not like he knew any better.

[SHREDDER-X]

What If........

- The Mirage Turtles were trapped in the OT Turtles universe, and Vice Versa.

- The turtles and Splinter got cancer from the radioactive retro-mutagen ooze .

- Became students at Proff. Xavier's School.

- Splinter wasn't around when the turtles were first mutated.

- Became soldiers for Magneto's Brother Hood.

- Eastman and Laird never met.

- Fought the Shredder and lost.

- Met Stephen King's Pennywise the Clown in the sewers

[shuriken]

Would they? Splinter just named them from the book, it's not like he knew any better.

I know. But Splinter might've seen the same book and named them female-ish names of the actual names. Except for Raph cuz is there anyone really named Raphaela? Plus Krow I think the That would be a pretty interesting cross over.

[Slap-Happy]

That being said, if the turtles were at Marvel I wonder were each character would have sided during Civil War.

Don and Leo would probably go with stark, raph and mike would probably go with cap.

[KROW]

I think a TMNT done Marvel style would have something involving the Morlocks, and in turn the X-Men. Then they'd go full-goose bozo and have a Triceraton/Shiar battle with both groups caught in the middle.

[Raphael_]

WHAT IF...

Black Donatello, and all its perks.

[Ninjafromanotherseries]

If Marvel or DC made TMNT comic they would kill and bring back characters constantly which would be bad and both are have overused every plot, nowadays always something big have to happen which is getting annoying.

But what if TMNT Age of Acolypse style thing: when turtles are mutated they get separated and one would caught by Shedder, one by Utroms, one by Purple Dragons and one raised by Master Yoshi. In this universe Splinter was never mutated and Yoshi was never killed and after 15 years Shedder rules the earth.

[DMC362]

Wasn't the Forever War going to be about Shredder going back in time to stop the turtles from ever being mutated. Thought it was a cool story idea and hope the book coming out in 09 has a simlar story.

Then, the entire time travel event wouldn't occur, since Shredder travelled in time to destroy the TMNT.

[Hermano Dyvas]

Hope I'm not going to get sued for necroposting but I saw this thread arise in another discussion.

Here's a few more I'd like to read.

What if Shredder killed the turtles in TMNT#1?
=> Splinter would probably commit seppuku or give it one more shot himself.

What if Leo succumbed to his wounds after Leonardo Micro & TMNT #10?
Would Raph immediatly return to New York, would his brothers join him, would they succeed in avenging their brother?

The reason this kind of thread is elswhere (the comic section) is because it is about comics. Like your post, which belongs there.

[RiseAbove873]

I could see a comic where Spider-man and the Turtles team up to stop the Lizard, who is running rampant in the sewers.

[Redeemer]

I could see a comic where Spider-man and the Turtles team up to stop the Lizard, who is running rampant in the sewers.

This I could believe, but my question is how well it would be written and would they make TMNT look like chumps compared to Spider-man

Why? You can think of a what-if idea for the tv shows as well.

[Powder]

Sure, but you didn't.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Looking at this thread again, I still like my 50 foot April idea.:)

[Bauer536]

Okay. Let me think of some good ones here:

1.What if the turtles had their personalities switched to go with similar personalities of the original Renaissance artists?

2.What if Shredder was a woman?:teek:

3.What if April and Casey never met?

4.What if the TCRI ooze was made of Kryptonite?

5.What if the turtles became X-Men?

6.What if Magneto killed Shredder . . . and wore his helmet?

7.What if the TMNT was filmed like a sitcom?

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

What if the TMNT was filmed like a sitcom?

The 1987 cartoon already a lot of that stuff, usualyl the New York City sewers, Channel 6 and the Technodrome.

[Hermano Dyvas]

Sure, but you didn't.

Alright, I'll give you that :p

Okay here's a tv show one.

OT:
What if the turtles did move into the technodrome as FW originally proposed? How would the series have gone?

[Jester]

What if the TMNT was filmed like a sitcom?
Now I wanna add a laugh track to the FW series.

1. No problem there as it reflects upon history nicely and we would just affiliate each turtle a bit differently.
2. We've had Karai already, and we just would have another female villain if Shredder was originally female, for example Tang Shen's sister.
3. They would simply find another special someone.
4. This isn't Superman, and we wouldn't have Teenaged Turtles!
5. This sort of happens in Red Sky.
6. That would have stunk and had been lame.
7. See above. The Next Mutation basically has a bit of this in terms of live action.

[Lethal Lullaby]

What if..,
The turtles never met April or Casey or any human?
Donatello was street smart an brain smart?
Leonardo had a lisp?
Michelangelo had a bipolar disorder?
Raphael was musically talented?
the turtles lived in a victorian style house?

[pihb]

What if the turtles were hired by marvel to write comics. They sold out hard. Boats & Ho's

[Uki]

What if Peter and Kevin had come up with Venus at the same time as the others?

[FearlessLeader]

What if Peter and Kevin had come up with Venus at the same time as the others?

Or what if Venus was one of the original 4 Turtles and one of the guys was never created?
