Electric Villains
 

Have the turtles (either in the comics or the cartoons) ever had a recurring "electric" villain? I guess it would be similar to DC's LiveWire or Marvel's Electro.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Recurring no, but they did have Electrozapper in an ep of the 80's show.

There were certainly some sparks between Touch & Go.

I loved that episode.

In the old toon, Tempestra had the ability to travel through wires and create a being of pure electricity. Also, OMNSS in The Mean Machines had the ability to tap into the city's power grid.

Yes. In the second Havoc episode in Season 8 they create an "energy" mutant who can ride the electric currents.

The one who Turtles sent in space with transmitter?

There was another villain in Season 8, Megavolt, I believe, who transformed himself into the ugly insect-like creature and could create weapons from pure energy.

And as others have mentioned Electrozapper and Tempestra are close enough to this type of villains.

Also in season 8, in the last episode Turtle Trek, there's a group of robots called the Wrecking Crew. They were electrocuted when they were defeated.

I find it funny there wasn't an electric Foot Mystic. They covered all the elements except electricity.

This counts as electricity?

How about this?

Haha, as a Darkwing Duck fan, I just couldn't take that poser seriously. Even as a kid, I was surprised nobody was getting sued!

I think they've based Mystics on main elements from Chinese Mythology / Phylosophy. This is why there is Metal Mystic in addition to 4 traditional western elements.

Interestingly, Chinese Phylosophy has element of wood, but there is no element of Air / Wind.

Yeah, Megavolt from Darkwing Duck was my favorite character in the show. Because of him I have fascination with electricity based villains.
Megavolt from Red Skied was cool while he was human, but as an insect-thing he was looking pretty stupid.

Not a villain, but noteworthy:

In the Mirage comics, there's an alternate dimension turtle called Shellectro

(See vol 4 issue 7 and tales vol 2 issue 47)

Shellectro was also in the 4kids TMNT cartoon.

In Curse Of The Evil Eye of the old toon, Baxter Stockman created an electric monster from The Eye of Sarnath. There was another monster just like that in Leonardo vs. Tempestra (not sure if it's the same monster).
