TMNT #25 Preview/Discussion

I agree with Plasticplayhouse, but he didn't even had to grow muscles, IDW Hun is not really a brutal giant like he was in 4kids (well at least judging from the covers), and Casey's father was always a huge muscular man.

...and seriously, it's pretty easy to come up with a backstory for that. I think they will go with him being a gang leader/hitman type of thug (of the Purple Dragons) in the past, then Casey's mother came, and he left his criminal life for her. Then the rest is already explained, Dad became a drinker, after Mom died, and his agressive side resurfaced again, shown as him beating up Casey.
In Casey's micro, his mom called his father as "the weak one", and described him as a person that someone should look after, this might also be a nod to his mobster past.

Well, sorry if I repeat myself, but it's all just kinda fits together for me, after I saw that page. If it's really true, I'm happy with it, cuz it's an awesome new take on Hun then.

And the tattoo argument is insane. Most gang members have matching tattoos.

Some people with non-matching tattoos.

Spoiler:

Well, they're actually Yakooza.
I'd say matching tattoos are an existing thing, but I don't think it's a criteria in every gang. 4kids Purple Dragons also don't have matching tattoos.
