Would you like to see the TMNT crossover with the X-Men?
As someone who has only gotten into the X-Men within the last few years... I'm rather surprised there's never been a crossover between the TMNT and the X-Men. I know they belong to different companies and all, but we've had TMNT x Batman crossover comics in the last 13 years or so, despite Batman belonging to DC/Warner. I haven't read any of those, but I don't see how a Batman x TMNT crossover could work well. The characters are all quite different in term of background, goals and personality and they live in different cities.
Meanwhile, the X-Men live in an Institute somewhere in New York, the same state as the Turtles and they all have issues being accepted by society as mutants. Feels like it would be natural for the Turtles and the X-Men to meet and become friends, no? Granted being a mutant in the X-Men series implies having super powers while mutants in TMNT are basically just anthropomorphic animals. But a good writer could make the crossover work, I feel. Which brings us to another question: What if Eastman and Laird had sold TMNT to Marvel back in the early 90s? Wasn't Marvel one of the two companies that tried to acquire TMNT back in the height of Turtlemania? If the TMNT belonged to Marvel, then I suppose we'd have had the TMNT crossing over with the X-Men. In the worst case scenario, the TMNT would have had become extended characters of the X-Men and lose their status as an independent property... |
