In theory, couldn't April be cured by a Retro-Mutagen?
 
Thought about this today, and I've been wavering on it.

When I found out she was a "mutant", I started thinking, couldn't she be cured if that's the case.

They could go either way on this, her DNA perhaps couldn't be changed but her psychic abilities maybe. Or do you think not because she's a different kind of "mutant" because she wasn't changed by the mutagen itself, therefore it's not the same.

Do you think it will even be addressed, I'm kinda 50/50 on that too.

Thoughts?

I don't believe she's a mutant in the same sense as the Turtles are. I think she was just called a Mutant because the Turtles didn't really have any other way to describe what she is at this time.

I doubt it. Unlike the rest of the mutants in the show, which were a physically mutation, April's was born these powers, like the mutants in X-Men. So I doubt the retro-mutagen would affect her.

I thought that too, but still.

Even in X-Men there was a cure, I think it will be interesting how the show does this.

Even if the retro-mutagen isn't it, I'm sure they may do a story where Donnie can make a "cure".

Maybe so. But even if Donnie were able to create said cure, would it eliminate the Kraang part of April's DNA? Because in the X-Men comics, the cure rendered mutants as becoming normal humans.

The writers gave April these powers so she's not entirely helpless in a fight. She's going to keep them the entire series.

If anything I'd like to see her become like Jean Grey from X-men, and become a full-fledged psychic telepath user.

You know something funny that just hit me? With the shocking truth about April was revealed, I almost wouldn't be surprised if she was in some way the key to finding a retromutagen and can reverse the mutations. Now that would be an interesting, yet very ironic, twist in the series.

i dont think so

aprils dna was just altered to the correct sequence the kraang were looking for. its been that way since she was born.

i imagine the retro mutagen would undo whatever muatations to the dna the mutagen caused. so it would revert them back to the way they originally were.

theres no "original" for april. thats how her dna has always been since shes been alive

Yes.

And judging from the Wormquake episode of them milking mutagen out of the worm's udders, I imagined in my head that they'll milk April's breasts for the retro-mutagen..

Dude.....:flaming:There has got to be something seriously wrong with you.

Shark_Blade 04-10-2014 09:26 PM

It's not gonna happen surely, just something that pops into my head. Blame Nick for that milking udder scene. :P And that Kraang abduction April scene.

BubblyShell22 04-11-2014 08:20 AM

No, I don't think she can be cured because she was born this way due to her mom being experimented on before she got pregnant with April.

This. April is a human, the turtles, are, well, LOOK AT EM! This pic with April and the Turtles proves my point.



April may be Mutant at birth and she may have mutant blood running through her veins, but her heart is human. (I'm sorry, I just thought this want the perfect moment to quote 300: Rise of an Empire)

But April is a normal human with mutant blood running through her veins and she has mutant abilities, sure. But take a normal turtles. It moves slow, it can't talk, can barley walk, it has no personality. Then look at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Get my point? Honestly, curing April would be more trouble then it's worth.

AnarkyLantern 04-13-2014 12:33 AM

There is no cure if there's nothing wrong with you.

Candy Kappa 04-13-2014 05:09 AM

But, does she need a cure?

She looks, acts and talks normally. Her precognition powers are useful, why get rid of them?

stormbringer 04-20-2014 10:59 PM

I'm not really sure why she'd want to get rid of her powers, unless they became more trouble than they're than worth.
