Bonesteel, Dirk, or Marlin?
 

(And now I'm at 1000 posts one year later, yay. Oh wait, nobody cares. :lol:)

Well, I've done some talking to some friends off the drome. Been kinda curious on this subject matter as all are hunters in their own right over the franchise's history. I'd be happy to see either one of them return, but here's the main question: which of these hunters do you prefer?

1. Jack Marlin- A big game hunter who debuted in the Mirage Comics, issue 6 of Volume 1 with ties to Leatherhead; also appeared in the 2003 episode Hunted. His lust for a challenge inspired him to go after the rumored gator roaming NYC. Voiced by Marc Thompson in the 2003 series, Marlin shares similar motives to the Spider-Man villain Kraven, whose obsessed with gaining a big hunt. (Web head for Kraven, the reptiles for Marlin obviously.)

2. Dirk Savage- A one off character in the Fred Wolf era from the seventh season episode Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter! Voiced by the famous Jim Cummings, he believes mutants are evil when under employment of A.J. Howard. He later turns face by the end of the episode; appearance resembles that of Nick Fury.

3. Simon Bonesteel- Though The Next Mutation is often a series of infamy, it did introduce villains with great potential in future incarnations. One of those antagonists is Simon Bonesteel; portrayed by Canadian voice actor Scott McNeil, Bonesteel is a big game hunter like Marlin. In addition to wanting to capture the Turtles or kill them, he also forms an alliance with the vampire Vam Mi, though doesn't turn out well.

In your eyes, which of these three is the superior hunter villain? Also, would you like to see either of them make a comeback in the future?

Jack Marlin was forgettable, just an Aussie trying to bag a gator.

Dirk Savage was a Punisher or Nick Fury parody, complete with the eye patch and trying to hunt mutants. He was alright.

Bonesteel was a good actor in a poor series.

So, Bonesteel then? Best name of the three, not a parody, and not offensive to Australians? He's got my vote based on that logic...

Bonesteel's the best one all around. Love that guy. Dirk's alright too. Not much use for Marlin, though.

I love Bonesteel, he's fantastic.

Bonesteel is my favorite. May or may not have something to do with his name sounding similar to Bonesaw.

BONESAW IS READY

I went with Bonesteel. A little ridiculous maybe, but he was certainly memorable! I like Savage too though, and could maybe see the two teaming up.

Simon Bonesteel. Dirk Savage was more hunting mutants because he was tricked, and Jack Marlin was basically Bonesteel without the colorful personality. If they ever use a 'big game' hunter trope character again, make it Bonesteel! :D

Or Abigail Finn. Surprised noone has brought her up yet. She and Dirk would make SUCH a cute couple, LOL! :trazz:
