Like wtf? She scary ugly. How is Raph gonna makeout with her now? :teek:

Where'd you find this? I think I saw these before. I think they're fanmade guessing from the artwork.

Cool! good find, I posted the Mona Lisa bio all over twitter and the TMNT reddit. :)

The art and the verbiage used make it seem fan made. She is the same race... Nick or someone official would probably word that differently.

So they put "Cosmic" in front of the Turtles names and suddenly they are "new characters"? :roll:

They gotta sell toys you know.

Actually a fan made these their name is Mikeyandpizza on tumblr

Really cool to see them bring back Mona Lisa to the fandom.
Hopefully they can improve off of her OT counter part.

I'm still not digging Mona Lisa's style, too animalistic...

Kinda like the frogs and Napolean. Too frog-like in real life. We don't have the turtles looking like red-eared sliders...

Well, at least she's back. Props to Ciro and team.

Haha! Protoss Mikey! Awesome.

Doesn't look too bad to me. Heck, I remember how I didn't like Slash's design but I got over it quickly when I saw it in animation.

It may be the same for Mona Lisa.

Edit: Anyone notice that her skin color is a tad darker? Even if she an alien, maybe the design is base on a type of salamander that change colors?

This is fanart by russian fan Alexey Shevcov.

Anyone notice the first official confirmation Mona Lisa is part of Newtralizer's race? We were only guessing before, its confirmed now.

Wasn't it confirmed at comic con?

Yes it was.

Where did you get that image from and are there anymore?

It was posted on Ciro Nieli's Instagram. This is only picture so far.

Awesome bios, though I don't like that they're calling the Turtles new characters just based on their names. I thought maybe those were bios for the figures.

I like that design of Mona Lisa.

Here's some pics of Mona Lisa from the clips they shown at NYCC 2015

I still stand by my theory that, Mikey is gonna be the one who names her Mona Lisa.

the Sal Commander's actual name is Gathrokka, So I'm sure she will have an actual name that's spoken on the episode, Then Mikey jumps in and calls her Mona Lisa.

I thoughts Newtrilizer was a mutant all along. Was he a mutant until they decided to make him one of an alien race?

Wyrm an oscure mutant parasite is now a mischievous alien genie? Who would have thought, huh?

Newtrailizer was never a mutant to begin with. He was an alien prisoner of the Kraang locked on earth as seen in Operation: Breakout

Also, cosmic genie :twink:

At least it's better and makes more sense than a mutant in space. Am I the only one who wishes the Creep was carried in Fugitoid's ship to make a Jason X episode?

Nice pics!

I'm still wondering how they're gonna put romance between Raph and her.

No idea what you're talking about, OP. Mona is smoking.
She's just below Karai in my hottest female character list of this show.

I think that's cool. I don't think that they ever actually made it obvious that Neutralizer was a mutant. His origin was left open and there was some mystique to him. And in retrospect. Newt does seem different than the mutants we tend to see in this show with his really high invulnerable and his "raka rakka" speak.

I kind of hoping they'll have more reptile like ticks and alien facial expression. No toothy smiles for me please.

For the most part, I think Mona Lisa will come out somewhere between likable and tolerable like Renet.

I 'm worried that the so-called "romance" between Raph and Mona is them mostly bickering at each other due to high sexual tension of SlapSlapKiss

and more of a bad ass hopefully.

I don't know if I agree or if that's really strange thing to think about.

This may be a bit odd of an observation, but I find it interesting that Mona Lisa here seems to be less obviously meant to appeal to a human ideal of beauty. This really isn't a big deal for me, but it's sortof how I like Koya's design in the IDW comics.

Now we haven't seen her out of the suit, and she looks nice enough, but I do wonder if seeing an alien amphibian, someone er, 'closer' species wise to the turtles* is a bit of a wake up call. I mean, Donatello might be attracted to April because that's all he's known growing up as a teenage guy on earth. There's no girls on earth of his species, or even close.

Probably over thinking it, but what I'm getting at is, as a writer you could take the tricky task of communicating to us, the mammal audience, that these non mammal characters are attracted to each other without totally relying on making her appeal to our sense of attractive qualities, if that makes sense.

*Now, salamanders and turtles are different species, if more alike physically to our eyes than humans. Of course, we're engaging in a lot of suspension of disbelief to begin with here if Raph is going to fall for an alien that, logically, he should have less in common genetically with than an ear of corn. But it didn't stop Lois and Clark, so why quibble eh?

Raph on the show doesn't seem like the person to fall in love all of a sudden, The only way this could happen if, the two are relatable with the issues they deal with.

And then there's that sort of attraction that he might have, torwards other reptiles or salamanders that's close to his own species.

Raph is the only turtle who finds it weird that Turtles are riding on horses, and now in space.

That's actually very good observation and question. I don't think it's ever actually thought of deeply of having a non-human perspective. At the most when it comes to this show, their outlook is more closely written from someone who is complete outcast like Quasimodo and not so much like Tarzan/Beast, which would be a more fitting example to describe their situation if the writers did research on turtle behavior.

but if you want a real answer..... well it's not going to be base on appearance or at least appearances will become an inquired taste after a while of becoming close to one and another. With Raph and Mona, it's going to grow out of mutual respect of displaying alpha behavior or dominance since that's how turtles act in the wild and that's from basing on how warlike Mona Lisa seem to be. No sweet talk or flirty cuddly behavior. Just primal un-bastardize total dominance.

So either way, somebody gotta be the bottom bitch.

It does seem interesting that Mona Lisa's personality seems closer to Alopex, or Ninjara, that is, a warrior that starts as an antagonist than the wisecracking college girl from the original series episode. But then, that version of Raph was more of a wise cracker himself, than the anger driven turtle in almost every other TMNT-verse.

I am still hoping that it's not like that because having yet another person for him to display this tough guy persona around is the last thing he needs right now and if theories are correct, he's going to have a huge survivor's guilt because of him indirectly causing the Triceratons to invade Earth and destroying it as a result.

Maybe she'll be like a tsundere type of person or someone who feels pressured by her culture to show no weakness. You know someone that feels the need to overcompensate her strength and attitude like Raph. That would be more preferably then seeing two characters bickering with each other over sexual tension like a 90's romcom and the BS desire to be top dog.

I'm 17 and 16 is legal in my country so it's fine.

Dude, Mikey's weapons are the best! It may take some getting used to Mona Lisa's design. It's not bad. I do agree she's more reptile than humanoid but I'm sure the animation will grow on us.

>newt
>reptile
Pick one.

I think you mean amphibian not newt. And whateva. I say what I want. :trazz:

This female lizard looks like a strong, independent enough character to stand out on her own that I feel that calling her Mona Lisa would be a waste. I know they're heavy on fanservice in this show but it feels like they create characters that are too unique and original to be called "remember this character".
