Question about Kirby Bat

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

I had assumed that since Kirby became a mutant because the Turtles spilled mutagen on him that he would be a villain but when I got my new figures they have him listed as a good guy. Did anyone else notice this and kinda feel a little surprised by it? It's been a while since I watched the ep where he mutated but I was thinking he would wind up blaming the Turtles for it based on how I remember it playing out.

Well, given what has happened to him, no he wouldn't be a friend of the Turtles. But he wouldn't be an enemy, he'd still wish to protect April in anyway possible.

He in the middle not really on either side.

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

Well they listed him as an absolute good guy but of course they don't have an anti-hero category on the back. But are you guys saying you basically think he will be an anti-hero?

[Eiko]

Who knows to early to tell really, he has only been in one episode.

I was also confused by this...but he's not exactly a villain either, so it's complicated I guess.

I do wish Kirby can talk in his mutated state.

If he double mutated, he'd be the true Wingnut. He can also befriend a mutated mosquito named Screwloose who understands how he feels.

If he double mutated, he'd be the true Wingnut.

It could be argued that a mutated -- or even double-mutated -- Wingnut would not be a "true" Wingnut at all.

April's father will likely be de-mutated by the seasons end. Anyone who thinks April's Dad will remain permanently a mutant or change into wingnut is ridiculous, this whole season Don has been trying to create retro-mutagen. They're trying to change Mutagen Man back to normal too.

Agreed... Kirby turning into a bat and possibly becoming "Wingnut" will not be what we consider the true Wingnut, but I don't see them ever bringing in an alien Bat Creature that happens to be named "Wingnut" after Mikey coincidentally called Kirby Wingnut. Way too coincidental. I think Kirby will be the one and only "Wingnut" for the NICK universe.
I think Kirby being called Wingnut was simply a 'nod' to the old show and that's it. No real Wingnut in this universe.
