What old notable 90's characters have yet to debut in Nick

[CyberCubed]

It seems like Nick TMNT is going down the checklist of all the old characters from the 90's and having them debut in the show, even if they only ever appeared in 1 episode before like Mona Lisa, Mutagen Man, Muckman, etc. They're even going as far to bring Lord Dregg back. Not counting generic mad scientists, gangsters, or the toyline characters who never appeared in the show, who is still missing?

- Tokka. I wonder if or when he might show up at all. Might be cool to see him fight Slash.

- Groundchuck and Dirtbag. These two are treated as a set, so if they appear at all it'll probably be both together. They were in the Planet of the Turtleoids 1 hour special, a Season 7 episode, and in TMNT III for NES.

- The Neutrinos. They're like the last big Fred Wolf characters yet to return, and even IDW has brought them back. Given next season takes place in space I'm surprised not to see them.

- Tempestra. She was in 2 episodes of the OT, might be cool to see her with Savanti Romero as a demon rather than a videogame character brought to life.

- Wingnut/Screwloose. Again, we might see them in space in Season 4 since they're aliens.

Venus de milo.

[Kingoji]

Man Ray, Ninjara and Usagi.

[TigerClaw]

I would love to see characters like Dreadmon or Jagwar appear on the show.

[CyberCubed]

Venus de milo.

We won't see her. Nick is well aware how hated Venus is.

Man Ray, Ninjara and Usagi.

Usagi is a crossover character and he doesn't count as a TMNT character as much as I would love to see him. Ninjara might be owned by Murphy still, since IDW didn't use her for Alopex. Man Ray should show up though.

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

A mutant version of Mad Dog McMutt

[sdp]

He isn't from the 90s but I want Agent Bishop.

We won't see her. Nick is well aware how hated Venus is.
And Lord Dregg was a villain people asked for? He's seen (wrongfully) as the reasons the OT was cancelled. Give it enough seasons and Venus will make an appearance, if the show is still on the air by S7 they will have run out of many ideas so I can see them bringing back this controversial character. Of course she wouldn't join the cast, she could be from another planet/universe whatever but I'm betting it's inevitable at this point.

Shame, I remember reading about a year ago that an Usagi crossover was going to happen, I guess that didn't pan out? :/

I also remembered reading about a year ago that Mirage had bought Ninjara from Murphy before they sold to Nickelodeon, was that not true?

I don't think Usagi was ever agreed to be appearing on TMNT. The creator wouldn't allow Usagi to be used. We've only been told to wait and see and that things may change in the future.

I really do not want Venus to appear. I don't think she will appear either. The people who make the show know how hated she is and they possibly (more than likely) do not like the character either. I doubt that she will appear since they already referenced her when Raph painted the picture of a green lady with the word Venus on the van. Unless they completely change her design like Mona I can't see her appearing. Her original design was just wrong and creepy. I find it very unlikely that another mutated turtle would end up looking the same as the brothers.

I really like what they did with Mona's design. You can tell that she is female without giving her long hair, lashes and breasts. They did a great job with it. I never liked the idea of female mutants having hair. It never made much sense to me since whenever males mutate they never keep their hair, unless they're mutated with a dog for example. The same thing goes for Karai's mutation. I like that they can keep them looking feminine without it being obvious. When the picture of Raph with Mona on the book cover was first posted, people already suspected that it was a female. I just have applaud the people who made her design.

[ssjup81]

I could see Venus working in this series if her background is changed, and how many kids actually know who she is? Older fans dislike her, not the younger ones new to the franchise. Personally, if they end up dimension hopping, why can't they meet a female mutant turtle named Venus?

I don't get the hate for the character because I liked her back then...since I liked magic stuff. The character had potential, just poorly executed.

[ticktack]

I would have more likely gotten behind the V world if it wasn't badly copycating a character created before (not to say the Mona Lisa having a sigle episode and not to appear again smelled unfair enough and that /she/ was originally going to be a female turtle [with eyelashes and a love interest (minnie mose? Oh hell no I don't ever wanted her to be like 90s 00s Amy Rose, phew, Mona wasn't like her turned out, *wow, relieved)] but Laird and Kevin put
their foot down and didn't let that happen.)

[TigerClaw]

There is a bunch of 90s characters they can take from in the archie comic series.

Dregg wasn't asked for because he replaced Shredder and Krang completely. Not to mention that the difference between him and Venus de Milo is that he was useful. He was the antagonist, so he obviously was useful. Venus de Milo? She's a complete game changer that wasn't necessary to the plot.

[Klunk1234]

I want to see the neutrinos, Usagi and Mona Lisa.

[drgon78]

I want the neutrinos or at least for April to classified as one.

I can see Venus working...if she is a villain, maybe a spy that pretends to be on the Turtles' side.

One good looking female mutant would be nice.

[TigerClaw]

I want to see the neutrinos, Usagi and Mona Lisa.
Mona Lisa has already been confirmed for Season 4, I would love to see Usagi, But they would probably have to ask Stan Sakai for permission to use him

[miru]

There may have not been a real Irma yet.


Also, we haven't ran afoul of Tempestra yet.

[Mew]

I wanna see Verminator-X from Archie's TMNT Adventures.

[groddofwar]

I want to see Wyrm and Usuagi

[groddofwar]

And Ray Fillet

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

- Tokka. I wonder if or when he might show up at all. Might be cool to see him fight Slash.

- Groundchuck and Dirtbag. These two are treated as a set, so if they appear at all it'll probably be both together. They were in the Planet of the Turtleoids 1 hour special, a Season 7 episode, and in TMNT III for NES.

Considering they introduced Rahzar completely independent on Tokka, there is always a chance Dirtbag and Groundchuck are introduced independently.

[Metalhead 2.0]

You guys are forgetting that Venus is already on the show.

[Metalhead 2.0]

Since April, Casey, and Irma have all been kids I would love to see Nick's kid-version of Vernon Fenwick.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Armaggon and Verminator X

Armaggon and Verminator X
Armaggon will appear in Season 4.

How about characters that never appeared in the show, but were action figures in the original toyline? (Or only appeared very briefly in the cartoon.)

Halfcourt
Scratch
Monty Moose
Sandstorm
Hot Spot
Hothead
Scale Tail
Anthrax
Doctor El
King Lionheart
Merdude

They did that with Pizzaface, a character that never appeared in the show, but was a figure, in a totally new interpretation.

[groddofwar]

Wyrm! Man Ray/Ray Fillet!

[Wesley]

Kronos from the. OT episode Split-Second.

[go_ninja84]

Zach and the Neutrinos are 2 characters i thought would have been mentioned. unless Pulverizer was supposed to be the Zach of the new series?

[Papenbrook]

I really don't know about the Pulverizer being an equivalent to Zach. They both are fans of the turtles, so there's that.

[member_removed]

Carter.... ....(takes cover)! :tcouch:

[Mr Null]

Man Ray, Ninjara and Usagi.

A new Man Ray has appeared in the IDW comics. So hopefully he makes the jump to the cartoon soon.

I would love to see characters like Dreadmon or Jagwar appear on the show.

That would great to see them both!

[ssjup81]

I wouldn't mind Ninjara and for her to be good friends with Raph as she's a fighter.

Another character I wouldn't mind seeing is Tempestra. I think she would be interesting in this series.

[TurFlytle]

Nick kind of already has Man Ray in Spongebob. If you call him Man Ray, little kids would assume that this is a Spongebob crossover. How about calling him Ray Fillet like in the toy and video game versions?

Now that you mention it, I sorta want to see them use the Spongebob version of Man Ray to bridge the gap between those two shows. I know a lot of hardcore TMNT fans would pitch a fit over it, but I would love to see that happen, especially because I wanna see April and Donatello interact with Sandy Cheeks. Maybe it can be done in the style of the HalfShell Heroes 2-D animation.

Not sure if any of these characters are actually "notable".

Vernon Fenwick.

Carter

Notable but largely undesired.

Don't make me laugh.

[Etsyturtle2]

Bezerko,or whatever his name was. He was at the beginning of season 8. He used to work for Krang I think.

[SKX31]

Notable but largely undesired.

Everybody here missed the biggest addition of them all...

Agatha Marbles. /s She's one of those rare secondary characters that stole the spotlight for a season finalé:

http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/0101.jpg

(I have no idea how the hell that got past the idea stage)

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Well, I've always wanted to see some of the characters exclusive to the Archie version appear in animation, specifically Null, Maligna, Kid Terra, Jagwar, Dreadmon, etc. But, I think some of those belonged to the people who worked on that comic and weren't part of the sale to Viacom.

I saw Stan Sakai at Katsucon a few years ago, and if I remember correctly he said Usagi will likely not appear with the Nick TMNT. Those crossovers happened because TMNT was still creator owned, and Sakai is friends with those creators.

I think the reference to "Venus" being a painting on their van is all the Venus this show will ever need.

I'd love to see a Wingnut and Screwloose, that has nothing to do with April's Dad and reflects their Archie interpretations. Same with IDW style Neutrinos.

I'd be okay with Vernon showing up as the snotty kid at April's High school, maybe.

[Powder]

Null, Maligna, Kid Terra, Jagwar, Dreadmon, etc. But, I think some of those belonged to the people who worked on that comic and weren't part of the sale to Viacom.

The only Archie-famous character whose rights are up in the air (I think, anyway) is Ninjara. All the ones you've listed are with the brand. Null has already made an appearance in the IDW comics (albeit as a female reinterpretation, but the namesake remains).

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Well, that's cool to know. :)

Agatha Marbles was a play off the Agatha Christie and her character Mrs. Marple. So I doubt she will appear in the Nick show. Though the character of Dirk Savage could be interesting. Particularly if he becomes a nemesis of Raph.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

There may have not been a real Irma yet.

You said you were over this! Figures you weren't.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Well it looks like we got an Archie character this week (Armaggon). So, yeah I guess they might be in the mix after all. :)

[VaughnMichael]

I'd really like to see Mung & Bellybomb.

[SKX31]

Agatha Marbles was a play off the Agatha Christie and her character Mrs. Marple. So I doubt she will appear in the Nick show. Though the character of Dirk Savage could be interesting. Particularly if he becomes a nemesis of Raph.

Aside from the jestful comment (I'll focus on the season 6 finalé here):

My issue with Marbles is that she clashed horribly with the OT when it came to direction and tone. Of course, every 80's-early 90s cartoon did a detective episode or two (bonus points if Sherlock / Watson are involved, which they did in Season 7) but her detective work didn't function when the culprit is revealed early and it's straightforward (and convenient) collect the clues. To top things off, Rob Paulsen's Raph did not get a single opportunity to shine.

If you're going to have a Christie expy, then try to pull something unique that fits the TMNT world. That's actually easier to do in Nick, since the Turtles and their problems are relatively hidden - contrasted with OT, where they were in the open. This was the cartoon where schoolkids were allowed in the Turtlecave, after all.

A Christie expy works better* if she's trying to solve some case that involves Leatherhead / Mutanimals**. and the Turtles get involved. Yea, I realize Marbles is a huge long shot (she's both unpopular and a character with a history of bad appearances) but I could see a detective character working in Nick still.

*This scenario could happen as either a debut episode or 2nd / 3rd. The detective could also be an antagonist - antagonist doesn't have to be a villain, after all.

**Important caveat: the clues need to be multi-ended for it to work story wise and build tension.

As for Savage? I'm with the camp that says "more human antagonists are needed in Nick". Aside from Hun (who's appeared... once? twice?) there ain't a lot. As long as Savage has something going for him I won't mind.

[Danetello]

I really want the Neutrinos! I'll take a mix between the cool laid back 87 cartoon versions, and the IDW soldier versions. Stylish, sophisticated Captain America-like heroes.

[D Piddy 1982]

I always liked REX-1 from "New York's Shiniest"...

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

You know, if Dregg can come back, pretty much anyone can. That includes that tourist alien family, Mr. Ogg, Dragon Lord, or even Gridlock!

[Powder]

Actually, Grid-lock might be owned by whoever was in power at The Regional Transportation District.

[syk_skillz]

Nobody I'd look forward to , but Carter ain't show up yet. Think they will eventually run out ideas and bring in Keno, Tatsu and Tokka?
