TMNT vs........ (Fantasy Match Ups)
 

I was spending too much time a bit ago watching fan made animations and ridiculous GTA PC characters of TMNT fighting other comic book and pop culture characters that I started thinking about how much I love the idea of the Turtles taking on other big franchise names. I thought I'd start a thread for people giving their own opinions on the idea and what match ups they'd like to see.

I think what appeals to me the most is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles facing the Hulk. Something about that visual sticks out to me with the Turtles having their incredible ninja training taking on someone as powerful and unstoppable as Bruce Banner when he takes on his Hulk form.

Plus, how awesome is this?

What are your thoughts on how that fight would go? I would like to think the Turtles would find a way to take him down. Oh, and what are some fantasy fights you've thought about the Turtles having!

They do this sort of hypothetical 'battle' between fictional characters on Comic Vine quite often. I believe they have a whole section devoted to it, and often post conditions for the battles. I don't post there but I lurk now and then. I've seen debates on Turtles vs some of the X-Men, Turtles vs Wolverine himself, The Foot vs the Hand, Shredder vs Magneto, the turtles vs one another etc. If you fancy it you should take a look on there because some of these guys have an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Marvel in particular.

That photo is a thing of beauty, btw. You're right.

Yeah, while researching fan art of TMNT vs. the Hulk I ended up on Comic Vine. Cool stuff!

And yeah, that picture is quite stunning!

Yeah, the battles section is interesting but the site is full of knowledgeable people in general. There's quite a few good comic book sites out ther e- Comic Vine, Comic Book Resources, Superhero Hype etc. Lots of good stuff on superheroes as well as non-superhero books and independents.

It's an excellent photo, yes, but I won't lie; I am not much of a Hulk fan myself. I've just never taken the time to read any of his stories, but I'm sure that would change if I did. As far as the Marvel characters go I'm more drawn to Daredevil, the X-Men, Captain America and Spiderman.

For a more sci-fi storyline, I'd love to see a match up / team up with the turtles and DCs Lobo. I think it would be perfect thematically. Lobo is an extra-terrestrial bounty hunter and the turtles do their fair share of dimension hopping. Lobo can also be very slap stick and campy which wouldn't be a hard fit. His darker side would make for great chemisty with Raph too.

For a more grounded urban match up, I think Batman would be a good candidate. Like the turtles, he has no superpowers and they could all be part of a vigilante / detective storyline without one side grossly overpowering the other. (that's why I used to cringe when Supes and Bats went toe to toe. Team up sure, but for the love of God Bruce, just think for a second. :lol: ) Could take place in NYC or Gotham. Just keep it dark, gritty, and urban.

I would personally love to see a fight between Raphael and Wolverine.

Next to the TMNT, Batman was always my favorite comic book series. Lately, with how much I didn't like The Dark Knight Rises and how bored I've become with most of his current DC line and I've been totally invigorated with TMNT (even if I didn't enjoy the new movie whatsoever) and I'd love to see a battle between those two! Leo and Batman would be epic.

Lobo and the TMNT would be interesting!

Two hot heads with sharp weapons going at it?

That would be awesome!

I would love to see that, too. But Raph would be in a disadvantage with Logan having self-healing powers... unless Logan has a handicap... Hehehe... :tlol:

The Turtles vs. Hellboy

I just imagined a fight between Don and Abe. Awesome! :lol:

Leo vs Aragorn, Raph vs Gimli, Donny vs Legolas and Mikey watches with a tub of popcorn.

hmm
 

More of a Villains match up But would love to see Kronos from the original series season 9 vs any of the following

The riddler, the joker, or clock king.

Also wouldn't mind a turtles team up with Static shock. That old tv series. He teamed up with Batman once so why not.

Turtles vs Street fighters
Splinter vs Akuma
Leo vs Ryu
Mikey vs E.Honda
Raph vs Blanka
Donnie vs Dhaslim

Turtles vs Tekken
Splinter vs Orge
Leo vs Kazuya
Raph vs King
Mikey vs Paul
Donnie vs Jack6

Turtles vs Virtua Fighters

This would be fights I like to see.

Have nick buy up all those poor TMNT cash-in properties that came out in the 90s and let the IDW turtles completely ruin them in the comics.

I'd watch these too, although I can answer every one of them. Think I wanna see it just because of Tournament Fighters being so close to Street Fighter.

I don't really want to see team ups, but I would love some versus, okay, maybe just one. Batman.

But I honestly don't see the turtles taking the fight.

What about the Hobbits? Considering the connections and all.

Leo vs Merry
Raph vs Sam (come on, I had to do it)
Donny vs Frodo
Mikey vs Pippin


But, I just wondered, what would one of the Turtles do if they were in the situation that these guys are in when this cute little girl stops by and pays them a visit.

That would be cool! I always felt Del Toro should've directed a TMNT film. If there's ever someone who could take puppetry, special effects and a GOOD story...he would've done the Ninja Turtles justice.

Wouldn't be a problem with 2014 movie Raph :lol:

I'd love the see the turtles against the A-Team. That would be so cool.

Always loved this match up by our own Dane E5R

Wow. This is incredible!

TMNT vs The Destroyer, Decade
http://kedah2u.com.my/kamen-rider/28...der-decade.png

Truly it would be the greatest match ever

and at the end it would end with Decade turning them into Turtle Saint

One word, adamantium.

Excellent idea on the Power Rangers. That would definitely match up nicely. Batman is still be my favorite, though. IDW does a lot of crossovers within their own licences. ie: ghostbusters, x-files, etc, but I wonder if they've considered crossovers with DC or Marvel ? It would most likely need to be a team up over a match up. ie: turtles and superheroes vs. turtle enemies and supervillains, in order to account for the gross difference in power level.

This one is kind of a stretch but because he's such a creepy bastard, I'd love to see the TMNT find a way to fight Slender Man.

I loved the Turtles as much as the next guy.

But I really have a hard time seeing the Turtles take down the likes of the Hulk. Hand to hand the Turtles should beat the Power Rangers, but bring in there Zords and the Turtles are again out match in fire power.

I think the Turtles vs most of the Super Beings, Our Beloved Turtles may just be out class.

Tar and feather me if you like, but I did kinda like Street Sharks. Turtles were always number 1 though.

The OT turtles took out giant Krang, I'd say any TMNT worth their salt could at least put up a fight against a megazord. Good luck targeting something human size in a huge robot anyway.

I liked Battletoads, but the TMNT would still kick their asses.

But non of the Zords have a shrink button in them, The Turtles were able to defeat Giant Krang because of that chip that made the body grow.
Once Don smash it(Still never understood to this day that Leo's sword had no effect, and Don just smashes it with his bo in one hit)
The effects sunk the Body down and the Turtles had Krang on more even terms. The Zords have no such chip. And why bother to target the Turtles when the DragonZord could shoot machine gun like bullets out of his hands??

You wont need to aim if you can take a city block down with that fire power.

The turtles could still get inside it and break things that make it work, find the cockpit and take the rangers down directly, whatever. Once they get inside the zords, the rangers would have to attack themselves to attack the turtles.

The rangers would presumably prefer to not destroy entire city blocks to take down the turtles, as they are supposed to be heroes. The turtles are not necessarily so heroic.

Well in the old Power Rangers in the Zords vs Monster fights, whole buildings and houses get smash. I sure every one gets out in time :lol: I pretty sure millions of people were not send to there deaths when the Zords and the monster they were fighting smashing and stomping on the city during there epic battle. :lol:

I sure the Rangers may not like it, but it was a every day thing to them lol.

Yup, Tmnt would have a tough fight there.

So with Batman would this versus match up rock?
Splinter Vs Batman
Mikey Vs Robin
Raph Vs Night wing
Don Vs Bat-Girl
Leo Vs Catwoman

Also there is a M.u.g.e.n. game where you fight tmnt vs xmen. There might be one for tmnt vs street fighter.

I had another versus I would like to see, Green arrow (or just Arrow) vs tmnt.

Not bad. Honestly, I think Batman would take all 5, but the others do sound good.

Think you can put whoever against whoever in mugen right? Like just download whoever.

Arrow would be good.

The turtles vs Samus Aran from Metroid would be interesting as well, given the arsenal of weapons at her disposal and the power of her suit.

As did I, I actually got really into the toys when they came out and the cartoon for a little bit. I just loved the crazy box design those toys came in.

Plus, I would've preferred Platinum Dunes had made the Street Sharks movie instead of a TMNT film....there's not as much of a rich history of story with that franchise and they really could've went off the wall with it.

Street Sharks vs. TMNT would be awesome and I'm sure the Turtles would find a way to take them down.

Your right, Bay and Co could of done ANYTHING with Street Sharks, Aliens, white Shredder,(Well the series shredder was white and Sachs type.)
The Series may of had a origin story in the cartoon. The thing is, there is a major fan base that will defend Turtledom. Turtle fans are all over the place, If I had the rights to make a Turtle movie and made Aliens turtles ete. I be afraid to walk the street in day light for a few years. :lol: But Street Sharks? No fan base would defend what Street Sharks are suppose to be, outside of likeing hamburgers.

Based on what the original concept was for the movie and with what is going on in the Nick show keeping it real-life fantasy NYC based.

TMNT vs. MIB would be a cool battle/team up to do.

I'd watch that. That design is great too.

ha
 

Picture it. TMNT and CSI New York cross over.

I would not want a CSI cross over. Didn't we all ready got a power rangers cross over in the 1990's? What were they smoking when the big wigs came up with that?

Yeah exactly! Not to go too off topic, but it's situations like that when movie companies are dealing with extremely popular properties they see a chance to do something with it because it has a loyal fan base they can exploit in a way. That's what Platinum Dunes did with TMNT. I've said what I've needed to say in how much I didn't like this new TMNT movie but imagine if PD and Michael Bay got their hands on Street Sharks instead of TMNT? I would've been much more done with that and the CGI effects that could've been used for that film. They would have the chance to try something new and start a whole new franchise. Would it have been a great movie? Who knows....but that sounds much more interesting to me than the world this new TMNT movie created.

Oh, found this online as well!

It'd be kinda neat to see 'em fight Batman. Can't really think of anything else that'd interest me. Ooh, maybe Deathstroke. Yeah, that'd be neat. I'unno how they'd pull off a win, but it'd be neat to see.
