April Wasn't Originally a Human but a Kraang

[Luckyday]

In season 2 finale, the kraang were able to perfected the mutagen and turning normal earth creatures into the complete 100% versions of dimension X. They didn't just want things to be mutants with splice kraang dna (I had assumed in the past that all mutants were gene splicing animals) , but they didn't stop there. They wanted 100% of the real thing so if the assumption is correct then April was originally a kraang then mutant into being 100% human. If all of this true then it would be theoretically possible to turn the turtles into 100% human cause their mutation is only somewhat at a halfway point.

It would explain how she was able to live among humans without setting off the alarms like having a inhuman blood type and etc.

[CyberCubed]

So how was she grown in her mother's stomach?

[ssjup81]

I doubt April is a Kraang. The wording is wrong anyway, isn't it? Both of her parents are human, they just experimented on her mother while pregnant. She has extra genes or whatever. That doesn't make her a mutant really, does it?So how was she grown in her mother's stomach?Uterus. Get it right now. :-P

[Luckyday]

She could have been probe with a kraang and mutant it while it was inside.

[ssjup81]

The kraang could have probe a kraang fetus and mutant it while it was inside.But she's still made up from her parents' DNA, but I guess I could see that. But I still don't feel I can say she's half Kraang or half mutant, as she is the product of two humans.

[Luckyday]

There also the fact that laws in dimension x are not the same as ours. The mutagen in their dimension X is suppose to completely transform from one into another.

Things that are mutated in Earth's dimension are always stuck in between but with April they were able to figure a way to complete the transformation. Why? April is a reverse engineered Kraang that was mutated to be 100% human in every way.

[oldmanwinters]

Irma is 100% Kraang too!

:tlol:

[Luckyday]

Ah, you're right. Guess her mother or father's genes were kicked out, but I'll go with her mother in this regard.

Maybe she is her father's clone since she has his red hair and blue eyes but like I said, the laws are different. It's possible she could been originally 100% of a kraang and turn 100% human with 50% of both parents.

[Luckyday]

Now that I'm having trouble with. Just couldn't see it, personally.

Well what I mean is that the Kraang cherry pick the parent's genes, combine them together and somehow found a way for the mutagen to work as intended so that it could mutant the kraang DNA into a human one. It makes things easier to look for a DNA sequence if you had a hand constructing it yourself.

I mean if you really think about it, their goal is to terraform the planet. It wouldn't make sense if everything was a hybrid. Worst case scenario, everything would die instantly like real hybrids that came from two very different species. So which one would you invest in? A creature that is half way there or someone that has completed her transformation and can be use as a template to reverse engineered it?

Or the Kraang exparimented on April's mom so that all of her eggs where altered with kraang dna...

[Warhorse]

There is a strong chance that Kirby may not be her real father.

[ssjup81]

There is a strong chance that Kirby may not be her real father.Time to go to Maury Povitch or some Kraang equivalent. lol

Kirby O'Neal is not the one known as the father of the one called April O'Neal.

[Shark_Blade]

So how was she grown in her mother's stomach?

A Kraang boned her mother of course.

[DarkFell]

A Kraang boned her mother of course.
Yeah..that would most definitely turn this series on it's head for sure if that were the case. Since humans are seen as inferior creatures, then I doubt that the Kraang would dirty themselves up like that. Thank goodness for gene splicing, mutating genes, and cloning specimens. Less of the mess.

[Shark_Blade]

If were talking about injecting Kraang's semen directly up through the vagina into her mother's womb, then I can see that happening too.

The normal way is too much octopus hentai for the imagination anyway.

[DarkFell]

I was thinking more about DNA extraction (think blood withdrawal or even hair extraction since that also has DNA) versus what you mentioned. People could be cloned from either of those two. *At least it works that way in cartoons and other fictitious shows*

[Shark_Blade]

You mean the Kraang semen and April's mom ovum become one, and April was conceived. But then where would they attached the fetus if not in the mother's womb?

Still the same thing.

[BubblyShell22]

They could have done some type of invitro fertilization taking Kraang semen and injecting it into April's mom's egg. That's why April's part Kraang.

[Luckyday]

That's whole point of mutagen!:flaming: Their goal wasn't creating half kraangs but to fix the mutagen so that they could fully terraform the earth.

April could've been just any random baby kraang fetus, put the only genes in the human race that comply with the mutagen and work as it was intended to.
It doesn't matter if the kraang was the father or how she was conceived. The point is that she was a kraang first that was then perfectly mutated with human dna (any kind of DNA would do, thank you very much) into a human fetus and born as a baby with both human genes of the human mother and human father.

I mean hell, the reason why she showing signs now with all of the physic powers was because laws of our dimension are starting to effect and slowing unraveling on whatever that's keeping her 100% human!

Funny thing is that same idea might have been used for The Turtle Terminator episode of OT TMNT except it was a robotic Irma instead of a robotic April.

Thanks for sharing that Old Man Winters. What issue was that from?

My pleasure!

"April Android" in Fleetway's Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Adventures #50!

Gotta love those bizarre short stories! It is quite reminiscent of The Turtle Terminator (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?p=1352936#post1352936). Don't know if it was a coincidence, but lots of 80s toons and comics recycled the old "robot impersonating a member of the inner circle" trope.

(Personally, I'd love it if IDW put out a new book based on the OT along the same lines as some of these wacky one-shot UK comics.)

[Warhorse]

So, now that S2E25/26 has aired, it seems that not only is April part Kraang, but it appears that humans as a whole have mutagen flowing in their blood as well. I wonder what Casey is going to think of this now?

[Luckyday]

Pretty the same when he saw the kraangfied humans. he's going to think it's awesome.:roll:

This is better drawn than it should be, the Archie artwork is usually just garbage.

[oldmanwinters]

This is better drawn than it should be.

I agree (with the "better than it should be, not the Archie art = garbage bit)! There's so much kinetic energy in Leonardo slicing robo-April in half!

The Fleetway comics were very ridiculous, but their rotation of illustrators were quite talented. And the colors looked great, way better than the usual Archie fare we got in the States.

I just thought of something, what if Kraang become humans when doused with mutagen in our dimension? If so, there could be a possibility that Kirby was originally a Kraang who was mutated into a human.

....you know it's funny you bring up that picture because I keep thinking April is going to have a Phoenix-type thing happen to her. Like her powers will take on a life of their own and control her like a vessel.

Also, I was really hoping for a prom episode before they left the city. Like the Kraang had infiltrated the student body and set it up where April would win Prom Queen, but the crown was really a control device and the corsages that all the students were wearing were mind control devices and they would attack the turtles, but when April freaks out she starts going all Carrie on them and....

....ok, I warned you people I do this on threads. I WARNED YOU!!!!

That's totally a leaked season 4 concept of April. I totally did not just make that on my phone...at work.

After hearing Ciro's comments, I 100% think this is what's going to happen to her character.

I don't want Phoenix Saga, but the show is setting up to have April expressing those powers in more meaningful ways. And the point is always made that those powers are somewhat taxing and that they can be hijacked and manipulated.

CC Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzk on that too.

[Luckyday]

Well in my theory, she was originally a kraang and then completely transform into a human in dimension X but her exposure to the physics of Earth's is unraveling (the anit-matter, quarks? who knows what) on whatever thing that's keeping her human, which is slowly turning her into a real mutant. This explains why Donnie was able to see Kraang DNA now but hundreds of doctors or anyone who could do a simply blood test couldn't see it before so her powers are just the beginning and they don't do something about it now...well your guess is as good as mine.

So in a way they're going have to reverse it and that may end up taking her psychic powers away.

[Drose18]

I think the real answer is somewhere between the birds and the bees and the half mutagen from dimension x.

I actually think that April is just totally normal and just happens to be very in tune with nature or something like that. If it was up to me April wouldn't be that big a part of the plot.

Yea, well they say time again in X-Men that mutant powers express during puberty. Hm...
Maybe the Krang DNA was buried away in her genetic code. Hell, maybe its made of similar amino acids so it was difficult to spot. Considering Krang made us an all...

[Luckyday]

That's a little bit of ass pull but I'll take it. The Kraang did have a hand in human evolution. Maybe Kraang bits are in every human being and April is like the genetic lottery.:lol:

As for writing girls/women, well...there's always the option of including the input and/or writing of one or a few in the team... Not a hard source of info to find and tap into there, boys.

Well in a way it make sense in a half ass way. During the time when Kraang were around the first hominids and mutated the Adam and Eve of humanity with ,what else, with Kraang dna and since then everyone that came from those two will have Kraang dna.

The reason why everyone else is not a april sue is because normal people are too mix in with Neanderthal or Homo erectus dna but they still have Kraang dna but just not the specific chain of Human DNA.

I really hope he isn't feeling this way. If he is, then it's such a simple solution. Just hire a writer that knows how to write females well, to write the female parts of the show. It's not that difficult for crying out loud. Or is it? With egos and such and them having to admit they might need some help?

[Luckyday]

Ciro does kind have a ego though.:ohwell:

But I'm pretty sure that there was at least one female writer that wrote one of the episodes in Season 2. It was called Target: April O'Neil. I think that was the only time that we actually see April act like more a character and little less of a MacGuffin. Nicole Dubuc was her name.

But I still have some problems with that episode but it was at least a step in the right direction.

I can't wait to see what Casey is going to do.

[Bitsy83]

I can't wait to see what Casey is going to do.

And THIS is where I feel that Casey is going to prove why he is not worthy of April's affections.

(hear me out, Apritello haters).

Casey is pretty much the odd man out in this group, what with being the only 100% human and all and he thinks that April is in the same category as him. When he finds out, whether by April telling him or one of the Turtles slipping, then I think he's gonna freak. He'll be hurt that April didn't come forth and tell him after all they've been through or he's gonna jump to conclusions and think that the Turtles and April have been working for the Kraang all this time.

A bit far fetched, but you know how your judgement gets clouded when you're upset. The Kraang took over his city and possibly mutated his dad and sister, so if he finds out April has Kraang DNA, then he'll immediately assume she's like them.

Either that or maybe he'll feel that this is why April was rejecting him all this time and get all egotistical about it.

"Aw, April. I know it's not your fault that you're a mutated freak. You don't have to settle for Donnie."

Or some conceited thing along those lines. When he finds out, there will definitely be a "Foot in mouth moment." Whether it's his foot or Donnie's is still to be seen.

[BubblyShell22]

See, I don't think Casey will react that way. Yeah, he can come off as a jerk sometimes, but I honestly don't see him just brushing April off like that. Yeah, he could be hurt that she didn't tell him, but considering some of the reactions he's had to things, I don't think he'll totally dismiss her as a friend or whatever. I do think he may be weirded out though.

[IndigoErth]

Maybe when Casey finds out he'll just 'pull an April' and need time to go think about it a while/get over it. And consider his own prior words that sometimes things are just out of our control. Unless he's a complete twit, I'd hope it should be understandable that someone might just want to hide something like that, and/or prefer to exist in denial.

Yeah, he could be hurt that she didn't tell him, but considering some of the reactions he's had to things, I don't think he'll totally dismiss her as a friend or whatever. I do think he may be weirded out though.

This. He's still a bit iffy on the whole mutant thing, despite Raph being his best bud and all. But with a guy like Casey, I can definitely see him be like," a mutant best friend is one thing, but the thought of kissing a mutant, I don't know if that's one bridge I can cross or not". More than likely, he's going to say something stupid and get smacked up side the head by Raph for saying it.

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, that could be a possibility too that he'll say something stupid and have to get smacked. In fact, I'd love to see that.

Yep, me too. Raph's smacks are the funniest. But, they have to be within a good context. I just don't like it when he randomly clunks someone upside the head for nothing. But damn, in Cockroach Terminator, the scene where he goes "I heard a fwap!" Mikey and Donnie were like "a fwap?" Then Raph smacks both of them in one swing and goes "fwap" the whole family about died laughing. Simply because we pretty much did the same thing when we were kids.

[BubblyShell22]

Oh, yeah, I laughed at that part, too. So hilarious.

As much as I enjoyed the show in Season 1, there are too many spins, especially April being a mutant/kraang. I just can't get into it. I tried watching the latest episodes, but it seems she outshines the Turtles. She could have easily just been trained by Splinter and help fight with the Turtles, no problem. Maybe I'm too connected with the original story lines, even though they weren't exactly the same. But the fact that April is much more powerful then the Turtles makes me see the show as "Teenage Mutant Ninja April", since everything about the show seems to revolve around her and where she came from. She can easily wipe out the Turtles if she wanted to. I don't know, I just stopped enjoying it after it was known she wasn't human. That's just my opinion about April and the direction the show is taking.

[BubblyShell22]

But she's not in all of the episodes so she doesn't really outshine them that much anyway. Sure, now she's going to be featured more at the beginning of season 3, but after they go to New York again, I'm sure it'll just pick up with the Turtles being the main focus.

[Andrew NDB]

The wording is wrong anyway, isn't it? Both of her parents are human, they just experimented on her mother while pregnant. She has extra genes or whatever. That doesn't make her a mutant really, does it?

That's pretty much exactly the definition of a mutant.

[IndigoErth]

Reading the synopsis of the upcoming "Buried Secrets" episode, not even sure what to think.

"When the guys discover a Kraang ship buried under April's house, they also uncover April's lost mother."

Why and how would that even be there. Perhaps April's mother was also a hybrid or something bad happened and something was done to try to save April and not all of these aliens were bad, but the bad Kraang took over?

[BubblyShell22]

I don't know, but it sounds pretty interesting. I just hope she's not dead when they find her.

[IndigoErth]

Maybe she'll be caught in some suspended animation in some capsule thing.

You kidding? Casey is all for the crazy life, if he knew April was a mutant/alien, he'd just be like "Wicked genes Red!" or something like that :D ("who wants to be normal" right?)

He wouldn't even remotely care, but I think April might over think what HE thinks.

[Asha]

Guy if what Kraang Prime said in the season finale is true wouldn't that make April superhuman? Not really sure if she should still be consider mutant.

"You only like me because I'm weird!" *runs away sobbing*

[BubblyShell22]

Or April might not cry about it, but she might just accept that he thinks it's okay. After all, he's best friends with mutant turtles, so why would he even care?

[IndigoErth]

Well, I wasn't being serious at all. And yeah, Casey of all people probably wouldn't care much.

[BubblyShell22]

I know you were joking, though I actually would laugh if she did that.
