Slash...with a twist...

[Fugitoid Jones]

While listening to the episode of the What the Shell? podcast where they discuss the MCM Con in London (at least that's what I think it was called), specifically the panel with Kevin Eastman and more of the Nick crew, they discussed someone asking Kevin about Venus. And it got me to thinking that a female Turtle could work if done properly in any of the new iterations, as long as she wasn't the 5th member of the team or a long lost sister like she was supposed to be in TNM. A seperate, mutated female turtle could be kinda interesting.

Then I got to thinking about Slash, and I thought that maybe, if Nick made HIM a female, I would actually be pretty cool with that. The Turtles don't have a ton of classic female villains, and Slash has had a limited presence in the Turtle-verse. I actually think that changing Slash's sex to female would be a neat change.

What do you guys think? Am I crazy for thinking this? Or does this sound like a decent idea with the rest of you?

[Mr.Turtle]

I think that d be boring...plus the battles belong to real men.

[Jester]

Would she still be called Slash, or would she get a new name too, because Slash doesn't scream female to me?

[Mr.Turtle]

i think slash is a good name n it sounds like an ninja assassin name. it d be a good storyline that the turtles bring him back frm the darkness and teach him to use his power to do good things. n when u google the turtles wiki profile, its just easier: tmnt leo, tmnt raph, tmnt mikey, tmnt don, tmnt slash...

[Fugitoid Jones]

I think that d be boring...plus the battles belong to real men.

Yeah, the women should be at home in the kitchen, taking care of the babies...
that's sarcasm



And I think Slash could work as a female name. It's not the most feminine(sp?) name, but I don't think it's overly masculine either.

[Mr.Turtle]

no, i think that d be boring. slash is a male turtle and will forever be a male turtle. and Fugitoid is a male robot and will forever be a male robot.

[KROW]

The reasons why some may associate Slash with masculinity are 1) the word signifies a primal instinct and women are generally not categorized as such, and 2) we've been used to Slash as a male character period. Making him a female would shake things up and if used, could open opportunities for storylines between turtles. I think it'd be neat to try out.

"Slash" is a verb and doesn't need to be relegated to a specific gender.

[Mr.Turtle]

no, i think a relationship between the guys n a female turtle is boring.

Never said it was only a verb, Tinkerbell. And it still doesn't need to be associated solely to men.

[Mr.Turtle]

yes it is. slash is associated to men, to men only and hulk is associated to men, to men only.

Your responses are boring, and since they're coming from someone who's favorite Ninja Turtles villain is one of the most cliche and uninspired, that's not surprising.

[Jester]

Hey Krow, HUH UHHH GRUNT GRUNT HUH!

EDIT: Also, sorry Fuggie. A villainous female Turtle would certainly be an interesting change. It would be interesting to see if they are more interested in reforming her because of some misplaced romantic issue.

A female Slash is certainly an interesting idea, and in the right hands could definitely be very good. Though I'm not sure if it's something I would do if I was working on the show (cause I'm not sure I would be able to do it right).

I'd love to see Nick come up with their own, unique, new mutant turtle character. Would be interesting to see what they would come-up with.

[Mr.Turtle]

i think a 5th turtle with a ninja assassin background d be cool. he uses a nice pair of daggers and help the turtles sometimes but always stay in low profile and never revealed himself to them. and his debut d be titled as " friend or enemy?" .

mayb he shod rite for the show. he iz a gud riter.

[Mr.Turtle]

come on guys male slash is just fine.

[KROW]

Nobody's hating on Slash to begin with. The point is that some of us feel that a female version isn't bad, either. It changes it up and makes it interesting, which is one of the factors in making a successful product.

[Mr.Turtle]

no, that d be boring... coz its not masculine pally ;)

[KROW]

Yeah. We get it. MOVE ON.

[Fugitoid Jones]

I really feel that the franchise could benefit from a female turtle character, if done right, and if they were to include Slash in the new toon/comic/movie, why not make Slash a girl? It could add a whole new dynamic to the character, rather than just a stereotypical Bizarro-like evil version of the Turtles. A conflicted, 'friend or foe' character that maybe the Turtles could also have the hots for would be interesting, I think (and it wouldn't give off the potentially creepy vibes that a human-turtle crush like Don and April's may give some people).

[Mr.Turtle]

now talking abt my version of male slash: the ninja assassin turtle... hes the most mysterious turtle, with advanced ninjutsu skills, he has a dark background but he also has the good side and hes struggling inside....esp. after he met the guys, who awaken the good side of himself...

[Jester]

Fuggie Jones, how much of that do you think Nick could get away with? I mean, I can get behind the unsure of her allegiance angle, but the the whole female Turtle does take away from one of the reasons Raphie's angsty...they are the only 4...and there are no females. I'm sure Raph could be suitably angry despite that, but a "canon" female Turtle could open flood gates, especially one who has the possibility of going from enemy to ally, no matter how shaky.

A female Slash could be Raphael's Karai: similar personalities with different codes of honor (and conduct). This could lead to an inner conflict, a new rivalry between Raph and Leo, etc. I think a shift of allegiance shouldn't be too soon, if ever decided on, though. It would make the whole concept seem flaky.

Oh I didn't expect an immediate face turn, heck, maybe she could be a "grey" villain like the FW Rat King, who's allegiance is mainly built on self interest. The whole mercenary ninja thing.

Re-reading your post, this she-Slash almost plays like a Turtleized Ninjara.

[Powder]

I don't wany any character to have its gender changed. Screw that.

[Mr.Turtle]

oops i just recalled that the idea of dark turtles goes frm enemy to friend already exists... in FF, actually... remember the dark leo dark raph and ect...? but o well, new male slash can always be just villain anyways. i mean, beside shredder. and it d be interesting to c a villain turtle ally with shredder, u kno, coz the shredder hates turtles, but to fight side by side with a turtle? maybe that will change the his whole life... and slash really sounds like a villain name! maybe he will be shredder's "son"! remember that when shredder met leo for the 1st time and he wanted to ally with him??

Yeah, this is kinda what I was thinking. Maybe she's a tragic character; while there is good in her, she always chooses to travel on the wrong side of the law (much like Karai), and that could affect Raph, who could develop feelings for her. Knowing that he will never be able to be with this female Slash could add to Raph's moody-ness and angst.



I don't wany any character to have its gender changed. Screw that.

While I'm certainly not suggesting that Nick or IDW or whoever should change the sex of an established character, I just wanted to theorize about making a fifth, female mutant turtle interesting and enteraining if they were to include one in one of the new iterations. And instead of rehashing Venus, maybe they could take a character that isn't that well known outside of us hardcore fans and tweeking it to change things up and make things unique and different, no matter how "boring" Mr. Turtle thinks it could be.

[Mr.Turtle]

how abt a Fugitoid's brother? or childhood buddy? he can be either human form or a robot as well too. and he is the new blood of the shredder. and the storyline can be very twisted when Fugitoid met his best buddy in person during a mission with the turtles...:lol:

[Drose18]

Oh i have an idea! How abt a jewish turtle named motzi who does krov migah!
This is a joke post! Dont take seriously that means you powder, jester and cure!!!
But seriously I dont like this idea. I like the idea of slash as a turtle from a different dimension that is an evil version of all the turtles combined. Seems generic for any super hero show I mean,
Spider man : Venom
Green Laterns : Red Laterns
Sonic : Shadow
TMNT : Slash
Get what Im seein?

[Sage Ninja]

I'm not keen on a female Slash or Venus character being introduced into the turtle -verse. I just don't like the type of storylines that would follow, especially if they decided to make one of the turtles have a thing for her, especially if it was eigther Raphael or Leonardo. Why introduce a "Jean Grey" character into a volatile Wolverine and Cyclops type of characters? I just really don't want to writers to go there. I am not entirely averse to Slash being female, as long as they don't go the "turtles have a thing for her" I would be ok. I know alot of people like Ninjara, but I wasn't too keen on her either.

[Donnie]

I don't wany any character to have its gender changed. Screw that.

Yea seriously. I think it worked with Loki...but that was badass and it's easy to see why they did it. Switching genders doesn't make any sense for Turtles characters.

[gobo]

It's more likely that April be discovered to be a boy who had an unfortunate circumcision accident as a child.

[Candy Kappa]

AND a drawing!

[Sophie Campbell]

a female Slash would rule!!! there's nothing about the character that demands being a dude, his characterization is broad enough. and in a new incarnation/new continuity why the hell not? anything could work. execution is everything.

[MikeandRaph87]

I like it the way it is. 4 good turtles and one bad one would be great for a bizzarro-like twist but the female takes away from the unique factor of there only ever being them. Slash needs attention but not Venus or a female version of good ole Slash. Though please do press the IDW guys for Slash to appear. Perfect character study,one shot would be great for that and for you to do art on.

seems to me very unlikely Nickelodeon would make Slash female, but even if they did, the original male Slash in his various incarnations would always remain, he wouldn't go away or be retroactively affected by the new show! :)

I think you have a point, I think both characters should be used again, especially slash, I would like to see a female turtle, but kind of rogue, not good or bad, just on her own... I would like to see both of these characters in IDW or Nick cartoon

although both turtles and hens lay eggs, you are correct. Turtles aren't chicken. Ones a reptile the other is a bird.

[BubblyShell22]

You know, I really like this idea a lot. I doubt they'll do this for an incarnation, but you've now given me a plot bunny to work with. Mind you, it might take a little while for me to get it up, but I'm going to do some serious thinking on this matter. As for the name, the idea could be that the Foot don't know she's a female at first and give her the name of Slash. And if she goes good, she could always change the name herself if she really wanted to. I like the idea of her being sort of like Raph's Karai. That would be awesome and make for a good conflict with Leo about honor and the like.

[Candy Kappa]

Codename Slash

[Donnie]

In retrospect, I really don't care if they made Slash female, it could be cool. I was speaking just for the core characters, the 4 Turtles + Splinter.

if u have to change one thing abt male slash............i suggest give him a tail.

I'm glad you like the idea! I really think that the Slash name could work for a female character, because somebody in this thread reminded me that the word 'slash' is a verb, after all, and I think because us fans have such a connection to the male Slash that we automatically associate the word with masculinity.

[CrazySquirrel]

No absolutely not. This would mean there is zero chance of seeing the Slash we know and love and he's one of my favorite characters. I dont really have a problem with having a new female turtle appear as long as she is unrelated to the original four and not a family member at all. Im even ok with a new take on Venus as long as she isnt the turtles sister cousin mom etc... love interest is ok with me tho.

CrazySquirel. Thank you for saving us!:tgrin: You make great points about Venus. That’s exactly who I want her to be: a love interest. But to stay on topic, you’re right on Slash. In fact, making Slash into a girl, to me, is like turning Joker into a woman.:trazz: If they weren’t a woman to begin with, don’t change their genders. Let’s see what Kevin Eastman will do with the character.

Let’s see what Kevin Eastman will do with the character.

I understand you're probably a big Slash fan, but I think comparing him to the Joker is a little extreme. It's not like he's had a big impact on the franchise. He had an action figure, made a small handful of appearances on the OT, and a few appearances in the Archie comic. That's it, really. He is hardly in the same status as someone like The Joker, who is almost as big an iconic character as Batman is.

[Bauer536]

I'm not a fan of alternate universes or elseworlds. To me, if someone was originally written as a guy in a comic, they should be forever that gender. If someone was a woman in a comic, they should be that gender, too. I know writters have taken risks, but I just don't like that. Futigoid, you're right. Joker is a lot more iconic than Slash. I just couldn't think of the right comparison because the idea sounded a bit weird.:tsmile:

[KROW]

I like how some people are taking this to the extreme, making a fleeting idea into some sort of Ninja Turtle apocalypse. It's not like this would change the whole spectrum of the mythos, the overall premise, or the "Turtle-verse" as a whole. We're not talking about changing Splinter female, thus turning her into some form of school marm who whaps the turtles with a ruler or bamboo stick and changes their character development. It's friggin' Slash, a character that had as much thought put into it as the evil versions of the Star Trek crew by slapping goatees on them. Jeez.

[Mr.Turtle]

Sure, why not? Give Leo an excuse to finally kill the twerp. Though the fact that the entire Foot Clan is male wouldn't give a male Karai any distinction or interest. Karai would then just be an overly hyped Foot Soldier with fancier garb and dialogue.

Pot and kettle, Copernicus.

And FYI, I've discussed factors such as character development, delivery, dynamic, timing, pacing, and public perception to actual writers and illustrators at comic cons whenever I got the chance (a few of them even worked on TMNT books and I have an autographed issue from one of them to prove it) so I know what I'm talking about.

I am surprised at how big of a reaction this little idea I had has gotten from some people. While I was merely suggesting to take a, let's face it, B character from TMNT and change an aspect about him to possibly make him fresh and interesting, lot's of people have responded very passionately against it like I was suggesting the Turtles should be pigs instead.

It's not like I'm suggesting that April should be revealed to be a drawing brought to life by the Kirby crystal! Now THAT would be obsurd! Oh wait.....

[Fugitoid Jones]

What was your idea again?

[Mr.Turtle]

That Fugitoid met his robotic bro/best buddy during a mission with the turtles...

[jestergoblin]

God, reading this is painful. Did we lose half the mods of this place in my absence?

The concept of a female turtle drastically changes the implications of the turtles. As they currently stand, the four turtles must stick together because they are the only ones of their kind: they are their entire species. In a lot of ways, this is what holds them together.

Over the years, they have skirted around with female companions like April, Ninjara, Mona Lisa and Karai but Venus drastically changed the status quo. It basically comes down to should the turtles even have the option to procreate and how does that change them?

From a storyline, it could be fascinating to see how each of the four react to such a possibility. If you made a femme fatal "Slash," that would be very interesting to show new sides of each character. Would Leo and Raph just see her as a noble challenger like Karai? Would Mikey be happy to just have someone new to talk to?

But more importantly, I think it would drastically change Donatello. In the comics, Donny has been shown to have anti-social, sociopathic tendencies like keeping Baxter Stockman's robotic body trapped and hidden for experiments. Would Donny turn into a twisted take on Doctor Moreau?

A female turtle, whether she's Slash or not, would drastically change the dynamic of the four - especially if she's evil.

[Mr.Turtle]

sounds like a horrible fanfic to meh....

[Fugitoid Jones]

That Fugitoid met his robotic bro/best buddy during a mission with the turtles...

Wait, what? Can you please explain it one more time for me in better detail?

[Mr.Turtle]

ok well, im thinking fugitoid may have a bro or something, maybe twin bro, who got turned into a robot too. he is as intelligant as his brother, but only evil and dark. not like his brother, he thinks that its unfair to be trapped in a robot body by accidence, therego he hate the whole world and he became evil. he works for shredder and wants to use his power to destroy the world... and letter on, fugitoid confront him in a mission with the turtles. that's how thing starts to get twisted frm then on...

[Fugitoid Jones]

Hmmm...I'm not sure I still understand. Fugitoid created his brother to kill the Turtles?

[gobo]

I think it should be his brother from another motherboard.

[Mr.Turtle]

not exactly... fugitoid is not evil, his bro is. his bro is the new blood of the shredder who wants to kill the turtles. basically, shredder is using fugitoid's bro who is also using shredder at the same time to fulfil each other's needs. fugitoid knew he has a bro missing for a long time but he never expect to meet him again in that situation, in a battle. the reunion is gonna be very twisted...

ok well, im thinking fugitoid may have a bro or something, maybe twin bro, who got turned into a robot too. he is as intelligant as his brother, but only evil and dark. not like his brother, he thinks that its unfair to be trapped in a robot body by accidence, therego he hate the whole world and he became evil. he works for shredder and wants to use his power to destroy the world... and letter on, fugitoid confront him in a mission with the turtles. that's how thing starts to get twisted frm then on...

I agree with you.

i think it would be cool to have a slash-like female character... but i would guess that actually turning slash into a girl would be a little too much for most fans to handle... they can barely take a change in catch phrase, let alone a change in gender.

So what you're saying is, The Shredder is the Fugitoid's brother? And the Shredder lost the Fugitoid a long time ago?

That's not even good fanfiction.

[Fugitoid Jones]

So gobo is Shredder's bro? And Shredder wants gobo to kill the Turtles alongside Fugitoid? Am I following your idea right?
