Mirage's "Future Turtles" stories

*DrSpengler* · 05-27-2007, 09:06 PM

Over the years, Mirage has done a few stories about the Turtles in the distant future in what may be a possible future for their timeline.

We've had stories for Don, Raph and Leo, but to my knowledge, nothing for Mike.

Anyway, here's what we've got...

Don (Plastron Cafe #1 "Old Times"). Apparently, in the early part of the 21st century, Don has gone to live in the Honda Province of Japan. He's still into technology and has a computer AI named "Chet" who simulates battles for him. It is implied that Don has either had a falling out with his brothers or his brothers might be dead (he cries at the sight of himself and his brothers in their prime). It's a little interprative, though, as Don's biggest focus was on the hologram of himself in his youth, so he might just be crying over what he once was. He's also ditched his old bandana and picked up a full one (one that covers the skull) with the image of the rising sun on it.

Raph (Palladium Source Book "Road Hogs"): In a post apocalyptic future 100 years from now, Raph has become the sensei to three new teenage mutant ninja turtles and leads them in battles against various mutant gangs and what-not. He seems to be rather senile and has taken to wearing a black cloak.

Leo (Tales Vol. 2 #13-14 "Loops"): Leo has learned various meditation techniques, including levitation. On his 100th birthday, he received a techno katana from Don as a gift which can deliver energy concussions shocks. He apparently lives in Japan now. He's also ditched his bandana all together and wears nothing on his face.

After AndrewNB posted "Road Hogs" I started getting curious about these brief glimpses of the future Mirage has been giving us over the years. I'd like to see a Tales issue cover this future, honestly. I think it's interesting that the Turtles don't seem to be as close as they used to, and have all gone so far as to drop their clan bandanas and adopted individual looks.

Well, we don't know what Mike's future is. He's only ever mentioned in Raph's story, and in sad senile delusions, no less. Maybe he's dead?

One can only hope.
