Nickelodeon Rocksteady and the Russo-Ukrainian War

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Nickelodeon Rocksteady was of Russian origin but his real name, Ivan Steranko, may indicate half-Ukrainian roots. After all, Russias and Ukrainian lived together in the Soviet Union prior to December 1991.

Also knowing Nickelodeon Rocksteady was a former arms dealer and war criminal, this raises some questions.

The year after he joined the Foot in 2013, Russia annexex Crimea in March 2014 and in February 2022, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

How did you think he reacted to the war?

This is a really awkward topic to talk about in the context of a fictional character. It's an ongoing conflict in the real world and I would suggest, at least until it has been over for a while, that it's best to restrict discussion of it to the real world rather than consider what a cartoon character might think of it.

Couldn't agree more with neatoman.

This probably wouldn’t end well.
