Carter, the forgotten sidekick

*Cipher* · 06-27-2013, 01:09 PM

The problem with Carter, other than appearing late and in very few episodes, is that he hardly has a personality quirk to speak of.

His single flaw is his mutation, and his sometimes being pushed aside by the Turtles. Other than that, he's just a guy who's great at everything -- great at science, great at ninjutsu -- who we know nothing about.

What does he like to do? What's his background? What's funny about him?

It's a shame to have a foreground character that seems less defined than ancillary cast like Vernon or Burne, as one-note as they are. It's no wonder he's a little-remembered footnote in the TMNT mythos.
