What does the future hold for the "Pulverizer" character?

[CyberCubed]

So they introduced a new character who was obviously meant to be poorly received by fans given he was purposely written to be an awful doofus. But what does Nick have planned for the character?

He doesn't seem like a regular kid sidekick character the Turtles have in other series, like Zack from the OT, or Angel from the 4kids series where the Turtles were friends with them and enjoyed their company.

What do you think he was introduced for, and will we see him again?

I'm betting on the newtrailizer, thought I may not want it to happen, it probably will, or we can have him appear in a big battle to assist the turtles or something, but I'm leaning towards the newtrailizer.

That's not about the future of the character.

[TurtleTitan97]

I'm guessing he'll become the Newtralizer and then maybe somehow become a better hero. Honestly, I thought he was a decent character. While he was pretty much a doofus like Splinter said, I'd rather have him than Zack.

[Jester]

That's not about the future of the character.
But it could be. A general thread about the character is pointless if it doesn't talk about his potential for returning in future episodes.

[Coola Yagami]

I still say nay on Newtralizer unless you want that bad-ass looking character to be a doofus. Being mutated doesn't automatically make you super bad-ass.. He's gonna be too busy tripping over his 90's pouches to do anything useful.

I think that's the gag. They purposely introduce a character who is generally viewed as pathetic, can't fight, is a doofus....and then he winds up becoming some sort of badass Newt mutant with muscles.

After the way they introduced Rat King as, "Dr. Falco," I suppose this is quite possible here.

[Jester]

Well, mutagen would be a way for someone who wants to be a hero NOW to get some perceived benefits.

I guess you missed the part where he said he'll be practicing. I don't doubt that he might be a profiicient fighter in his next appearance.

[NinjaMan]

Hmm if he ends up being Newtralizer, it looks like he'll be training with explosives judging by the toy. Also I wonder if he got that gear on his own or has a benefactor. Heck, if Newtralizer is a villain, he could be holding a grudge against the Turtles for rejecting him. Like Syndrome in the Incredibles.

[Drose18]

He becomes wingnut and gets a buddy to b screwloose when theyre hanging out trying to stop crime with the info they got from the turtles abt kraang and get mutated.

[gobo]

What buddy? He's obviously a loner.

[Machias Banshee]

Hm... does anyone remember watching the Incredibles?

Our rejected little superfan could be overcome with hurt and resentment at being jilted by his heroes, which could drive him into being an Enemy. :evilgrin:

Meee! I do! I love that movie, one of pixars best.

[STORMSHADOW__210]

I think he was a nod to 80s honorary 5th turtles Zack He may have cameos here and there.I just think season ine is about introducing the pieces...season 2 is when i think the series will really begin.

[Shark_Blade]

I hate him so much. I like nothing better than having him not re-apearing ever again.

But like others has said, he'll probably be Newtralizer.

Shame on you for trying to steal the noob's thunder, Machi. ;)

[Machias Banshee]

Hey, it's good enough to be mentioned twice, I guess... :goofygri:

[Vivi]

He'll become Andy from 'Parks & Recreation'.

I kind of like Pulverizer and hope to see more of him.

[CyberCubed]

I've honestly never actually hated a TMNT character before the Pulverizer was introduced.

Sure, there were a lot of boring or useless characters introduced in TMNT over the years, (mad scientists in OT, Garbageman in 4kids, some of the boring characters in Mirage), but I never actually hated one.

Zack and Angel > Pulverizer.

[BubblyShell22]

I think he'll become Newtralizer. It just makes sense judging by his character and how he was rejected by the Turtles to ever train with them. Besides, look at Vic. He wasn't a fighter and when he became Spyderbitez he suddenly was able to fight the Turtles and shoot lava from his mouth. So, it can happen.

[Slade]

I'd really rather not see him again, didn't care for him at all.

[Oculus Orbus]

I hated the character, found it completely pointless and annoying. This was probably the first episode I didn't like.

I feel there's a big chance he'll become The Newtralizer, but I don't know if I want it to happen. I don't think I want that badass mutant to carry that lame background with him.

[miru]

He'll appear again, only to sacrifice himself for the sake of the Turtles and April. Newtralizer will be mutated from an ordinary newt.

[Coola Yagami]

I guess you missed the part where he said he'll be practicing. I don't doubt that he might be a profiicient fighter in his next appearance.

True but it's a loooong way from not being able to do a push-up to suddenly being a proficient fighter... unless he doesn't return til season 10 or so. LOL

[tkcom]

Rejected by the Turtles, I'd imagine Shredder would welcome him with the open arms. Pulverizer's knowledge of the Turtle Lair will be extremely important to Shredder. He'll be back as Shredder's spy.

No, he wouldn't do that, he loves the turtles, remember? He's too big of a fan to turn on them.

[gobo]

Funny thing about dufi is that they're easily manipulated. :shifty:

As easy as an offer to train him in ninjutsu. You know, Splinter isn't the only one in town with a dojo.

[LH]

Yeah.. I have a feeling that line was suppossed to forshadow Pulverizer's impulsive attitude. It would make sense that he would choose Mutagen to get there quicker. :twink:

Pulverizer's character design did remind me of Syndrome a little.. :tlol:

No, he wouldn't do that, he loves the turtles, remember? He's too big of a fan to turn on them.

Yeah.. If he did turn on them it could be possibly due to Shredder's misguidance.. We'll just have to wait and see.

[AnarkyLantern]

It kinda looked like he had this on: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/PopCulture/TMNT//Teenage+Mutant+Ninja+Turtles+Raphael+Hooded+Pajama s-171769.jsp

[Triceraton Jones]

I know what's going to happen to him. He trains really hard becomes fit and strong and changes his costume to that of a hockey mask.

I'm only joking by the way that will never happen, or at least it better not ever happen.

[Luigiperps]

Any one think the, "Col, how do I do that?" Line about the turtles being mutant being a fore shadow

[CyberCubed]

Good thing is the Newtralizer shows up in episode 18, so we'll know quickly enough if he's the Pulverizer or not.

He's dressed like a stereotypical Rob Liefeld character, so yeah, I could see that happening. Anyone who thinks Youngblood is the pinnacle of superhero costume design sounds like a doofus to me.

Possibly. It at least shows that he has interest in being mutated.

[Mr. Stay Puft]

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened.

[pannoni1]

I think the Pulverizer will both appear like he was in a future episode since typically the first season of a long running series commonly has characters who reappear later on, and the Pulverizer still has a lot to prove in terms of if he will make a good Turtles' addition or if he betrays them and joins the Foot. He may or may not mutate, but I don't think he'll become the Neutralizer, which I think will be a Dimension X villain who hates the Neutrinos.

[MisterMiracle]

He'll train his ass off, drop some weight, lose the clumsiness and return as a bad-ass at some point.

[Luzmagica]

Im agree with this! ....the most similar I voted was: He'll appear again the same way he was in this episode

The same with a better training for show tho.!!!! :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin: :twink:

[Venom]

He'll come back as a Nobody. :twink:
