I mean this is mirage, not a kids cartoon so there's nothing keeping Raph from stabbing them.

Oh definitely! But, plenty of iconic TMNT villains are "one and done" in Mirage.

Or they'd have different origins all together, if they even bothered to give them origins at all. They probably would be like Chote, where they just don't explain where they come from. They didn't like extra mutants, but they had no problem with anthropomorhic animals existing for no reason.
Anyway, I think it's pretty clear that they really wouldn't fit in the main Mirage comic (I think an argument can be made for the RPG though), but isn't it fun to speculate about how bizarrely different they'd have to be to make them fit (and to wonder what E&L had in mind with those designs)?
