Which underused villains from the 90's deserve a comeback or reimagining?

*CyberCubed* · 07-25-2011, 11:51 PM

While Nick probably won't use some of the lesser known villains from the franchises past, what obscure or underused villains do you think deserve a second chance? They could be completely revamped too.

I'd say:

- Groundchuck and Dirtbag. I don't know if its because of the games, but these two were a great pair and I enjoyed them in the Planet of the Turtleoids episodes.

- Hothead. I am not sure if he and The Warrior Dragon from Archie are the same character or not, I am mainly thinking of the toy.

- Chromedome. I have no idea why, but he was one of my favorite robot characters.

I totally agree with your choices. They were favorites of mine as well.

There are a lot of underused villains that only got like 2-3 appearances in the old show, its a real shame. They didn't really show up much in Archie either.

Pizzaface and Armaggon definitely deserve to be animated, given they never got to appear in a TV show yet.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Lord Dregg, not as the main villain, but as another alien invader they meet on a space journey. Although he wouldn't be the same without his voice actor, which really made the character.

I always loved chrome-dome and Baxter, but I think baxter always got a decent amount of villain time haha

Rat King - it's debatable but I would call him under-used.

*Luzmagica* · 07-26-2011, 12:47 AM

...What about Mr Touch&Go???...

I dont like so much Dirtbag.... Agree with others....

Hothead/Warrior Dragon was NEVER a villain, in any incarnation. He is described as an ally on his action figure, in TMNT Adventures, and in Tournament Fighters.

I would like to see more Leatherhead. And hope they bring back Jim Cummings to do the voice (cause the VA who did his voice in Night of the Rogues was so-so)

*VaughnMichael* · 07-26-2011, 02:57 AM

Slash, Bellybomb, & Armaggon.

hudemx · 07-26-2011, 07:43 AM

Tempestra!

She had great potential which wasn't fully used in the OS.

*Jephael* · 07-26-2011, 03:18 PM

Mung from season 10 of the classic series. I have to admit I liked that guy!

Yeah, I was surprised they had Peter "Splinter" Reneday do LH in that episode.

As for underused villains, what about Scumbug? He was only in one episode...and they made it sound like he should have been in others.

*Jephael* · 07-26-2011, 03:32 PM

I know. It always bugged me they never did an origin story for Scumbug or Antrax. Maybe David Wise or someone else had written an episode about them but it got rejected.

I never cared. When I was a kid watching those OT eps I just liked seeing more mutants! more more more. I played right into playmates' hands. I begged my dad to buy me each new character...

Looking back now, it would have made sense to include an origin story, but if you think about it, not much of the OT made sense anyway

Anyhow, I'd like to see human villains instead of mutant ones. Lotus Blossom might be interesting

*ssjup81* · 07-26-2011, 11:22 PM

I'd have to go with the Rat King. I felt that he was underused for the original toon series and he was never all that big comic wise. He's nuts, might as well use him.

Oh yeah, I also agree with Tempestra. She was pretty cool, or even that villainess that had that power with the ring whose name I can't recall. She was pretty cool and looked like she was in the wrong toon show, but what the hey. Anyone remember her name? She hated Krang or something and liked jewels.

"So-so" awful, imo! Jim Cummings all the way!

Considering there were tons of mutants in the show, its not that big a deal.

Also Scumbug was in the Archie series, wasn't he? In that series he was a human roach exterminator that got mutated.

Why do people keep saying the Rat King was underused? He was in like atleast 10 episodes! Hell, Baxter Stockman was used less often than him!

Just like Casey Jones for the OT series, I just felt that Rat King wasn't used enough. I was actually going to say Baxter, but to my knowledge, he was used much better and more for the 2k3 series, which is why I didn't bother, unless he wasn't.

I think Cybercubed confuse it with when he was brainwashed by Chien Khan.
