How many alternate Turtles are there now?
 

The thread in the comic section got me thinking:

- Slash: appeared in the original cartoon for 3 episodes, Archie comics, 90's toyline, videogames (TMNT III on NES), and now Nick and IDW.

- Tokka: Debuted in TMNT II, appeared in one episode in Season 7, got a toy, appeared in two videogames TMNT III and TMNT IV: Turtles in Time. The Nick cartoon named the giant space gamera Turtle "Tokka" as well.

- Venus: Appeared in Next Mutation and Andrew Modeen's comics.

- Kerma. From Planet of the Turtleoids, appeared in 3 episodes of the original cartoon.

- Planet of the Turtles ep in Season 4 featured the wrestling brothers, Rupert, and another alien Turtle planet.

- Metalhead is a robot Turtle and appeared in the OT, IDW and Nick comics.

Any more?

Well, since you bizarrely decided to include Andrew's comics, we might as well bring up the female turtle from Sophie's webcomic or scrapped characters like Terrorpin and Kirby.

As for characters that should actually count, these guys come to mind.

I wouldn't count all those "Turtleoids" and wrestlers or whatever, Cubed.

Venus, Slash, Tokka, and the four Dark Turtles. That's it. (Although I do like Sophie's Artmesia character... definitely a bit more fleshed out than Venus.)

Forgot about the Dark Turtles so yes them too.

The Planet of the Turtles ep did have standard looking turtle designs:

I agree that the definition is, a turtle species originating on Earth and mutated. That would make seven overall with the four Ninja Turtles, Slash, Tokka, and Venus across the various iterations. The Turtleoids were turtle-like aliens and Hanz,Franz, the professor, and Bert were of another dimension not mutant turtles. The Dark Turtles were not mutant turtles either as they are clones of mutant turtles. Its like the Superboy clone.He is not real as he has no soul. Just a sentient lab experiment of dna meshed together. Same with the DTs as they are not mutant turtles.

Archeloga.

Hun was a turtle in Turtles Forever.

(obviously weed out the fan-made ones, heh)

Super Turtles (2003 alternate reality)

An evolutionary map of turtle species... Of course, that totally belongs there... :roll:

Why is fanfic material even on the wiki?

Those were very much items I was not fond of, but the consensus was that they were wanted by the users. I wanted to move fan stuff to another Wiki altogether and a few lost their s**t completely.

I'd say f*ck it and make a fanon wiki. It looks way out of place and adds more confusion to the wiki.

It's something that was in place before I started, and I don't want to be an overlord. Leaving most things up to democracy, yo.

Hey it's always important to let the people decide. It's just what I would do.

Be an overlord. These sites are completely ruined by those developmentally challenged dips who have to have their idiotic nonsense mixed in.

Ninjinister just doesn't want Van Gogh to not be on the same wiki with canon stuff :lol:

Tell them that so I can have enough people rallying behind a "get this off of here" to do it.

I'd rather keep Artemisia on there than something I made up when I was like 8.

EDIT: Totes off-topic now.

All that other sh*t? Yeah stash it. BUT NINJA TURTLES GAIDEN??!?? You're treading on dark waters there, boy.
