What are the TMNT life spans?
 

Grand total how long could they live?
In the comics I know they are around at least 100 years from now and still pretty active but in the cortoon they age like humans.
I know the comics are a better source, but I don't think I heard anything about them every dieing of old age in any comic yet

What are you talking about? The newest volume happens somewhere between 2000-2002 and TMNT are around 3o years old.

But I have tought about this too. In real life, Most turtles can out live humans, so I think that TMNT can live pretty old too.

most turtles are fitter than most humans as well...

~I think you meant 30 years old, right Karpo? When Peter Laid was asked this he said something like with the mutation it's hard to say how long they could live. I think the implication was that it would be a good long time.

LOL :lol: Yeah I meant 30.

I remember in the Archie comics they actually touched on this subject. In the Merdude mini-series, Man Ray was asking Merdude how he came to be, and it turned out that Merdude was infact mutated about 5,000 years ago. This made Man Ray wonder if it meant that all mutants can live that long.

Well I dont believe that is the case with original universe or the New-cartoon.

If I understand what your getting confused on In most comic series we've seen the TMNT alive at least 100 in the furture and they still look pretty healthy, so how long can they live?
I know some breds of turtle can live over 100 years so how long can mutant turtles live?

You must be referring to the archie series. It's probably diffrent with the original universe.

If The Turtles are 30 in the new volume, how come they're still the TEENAGE
Mutant Ninja Turtles?

:lol: good question :-?

Hmm..maybe 30 to them, is 15 to us?

turtles can live to be over a 100

Because Thirty-Something Mutant Ninja Turtles doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have always wondered about that, especially in the cartoon. From 1987 through 1996, they were the TEENAGE Mutant Ninja Turtles, yet 1) they never seemed to age, and 2) they seemed older than teenagers. I always imagined them as in their mid-twenties.

o well it was a cartoon kids didnt worry about that kind of stuff

I imagine the TMNT can live to be 100 or more years, since that's how long a normal box turtle can live. :D

Yeah, but their mutation could affect that.

The thing I always thought about is their mutation changed them into humanoid turtle, which increased their abilities from what they used to have as just turtles, would that not mean the mutation would also affect their aging ability for the better :-? Maybe I', thinking way too much on this, but wouldn't that sound to be a logical thought.
