No, I never saw him to have any potential. Shoehorned in and he never worked in the episode stretch he was a part of the team. However, this brings up a debate that the Ninja Turtles have a serious lack of human allies that are liked if not effective. April of course does not help in the battle field, but finds use as a reporter( gets them information) or as a tech support. Casey Jones is a reoccurring asset in the battlefield and well-liked among the overall fan base. Aside form them are there any other human characters that are liked by fans and effective in the fight against Shredder and other villains? I never liked Zack or Carter. Not interested in Angel in the 2003 cartoon,but she was reworked and aged up and totally works as Nobody. So I guess there can be hope for humans I would rather write off into the dust bin of history like the annoyance of Zack and Carter.

Other human friends, there is Irma as a supporting character in the '87 cartoon,but just there to give April someone to talk to. Woody was originally a way to explain how IDW Turtles got food and tied in the pizza obsession gimmick. Neither he or Irma are help in fights. Harold Lillja serves as tech support like April has in some iterations. I do like Keno though and like most human allies is a one-shot. He can be dusted off and reworked and help the turtles in a fight. We do need more human characters to help the Turtles fight villains with the serious lack of them in over thirty years,but we need to start mostly from scratch with the nearly all of the few listed above not working or not one who would fight alongside them.
