Tiger Claw speculation
 

So what do you think his deal is? His design sheet says he's Shredder's bounty hunter/assassin from Japan. It also says he's traveled many lands and has a ton of weapons and lost his tail in a duel. So, is this guy a mutant? Magical being? Alien? What do you guys think his story is? What if he's a a being from another dimension that lost his tail in a duel with Usagi? Part of me hopes that's his story. :D

For some reason I don't think he's a mutant. Maybe some sort of ancient deity or whatever like some of the mutants from Archie.
He's got a nifty design, and I'm definitely interested in his appearance(s) based on that and what little we know of his backstory.

Yeah, Me too, I'm curious about Tiger Claw :)

Introducing Usagi would be epic... However, due to licensing issues I don't know that that will actually happen.

If it does though I hope to see Usagi in the IDW comic as well. As for wether or not he's a mutant... so far we haven't seen any other dimensions other than X. But the fact that there are other dimensions make for interesting and almost limitless story possibilities.

I could easily see the Turtles spending a season or at least part of one in a dimension of anthropomorphic animals... imagine the action figure potential!!

Wherever the Newtrailizer is from, I'm willing to bet it's the same place Tiger Claw is from.

I'm not sure what Tiger Claw's deal is, but maybe he was originally human and became a mutant somehow. It'll be interesting to see him and to hear his backstory on how he met Shredder and became associated with him.

Does Tiger Claw remind any Archie's TMNT Adventures readers of this guy?


The four arms seal the deal that the character was inspired from the guy.

I think he's a mutant. The Kraang have been on earth for at least 16 years.

I'm a huge cat lover so Tiger claw going to a clear fav of mine he prob a very old friend from another demension like Usagi could have been Splinter who cut his tail off anyway looking forward to this char.

That's quite possible. And would mean he could possibly be one of the world's first mutant. It would make the history between him and Shredder interesting.

I would laugh so hard if he had come from a island near Japan like Ninjara and was not a mutant at all.

With those four arms, I think he might just actually be a new version of Katmandu, with the name changed because the nationality connection/pun that's no longer there.

Usagi probably isn't happening. Those crossovers were due to Stan Sakai being friends with Peter Laird, and Laird has been taking some time off from Turtles related projects since he sold the series to Nickelodeon.

That picture isn't Tiger Claw- it's Kintaro form Mortal Kombat.

Maybe Ninjara cut his tail off.

Maybe he ate a devil fruit? AAHH Sorry, One Piece humor here :lol:
An, mutation seems more likely here, think hey'll fight Leo? Seems his type.

*FACEPALM* That's what I get for not being an MK fan. When the guy above me indicated that was him, I believed it, I can be so dumb sometimes. :trolleye:

That's pretty much what they said during the SDCC panel. Shredder gets fed up and travels to Asia looking for recruits to help him fight the turtles, and comes back with Tiger Claw. It doesn't sound like he's of Kraang origin.

:blanksta: no.

idk, but I'm not expecting much from him.
