an idea for IDW Leatherhead

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 09-02-2012, 12:51 PM

Since we know that everybody's favorite mutant gator will be introduced in IDW sooner or later, I was thinking of a way to do him that would incorporate elements of every version of him, and I wanted to know what everyone else thought.

I think a way to approach Leatherhead would be, since the turtles and Splinter are reincarnations of Hamato Yoshi and his four sons, what if the aligator that mutates into Leatherhead is the reincarnation of Jess Harley, a cajun Gator hunter and thief from the ninteenth century? Something like during his life he stole from a voodoo priestess named Mary Bones, who cursed him to be the very thing he hated in his next life.

His memory restored (at least in fragments) by the mutagen, Harley is now the very thing he hunted and hated- a gator. He could ethier be a Sockgen experiment, or one of the mutants created by shredder from the animals we saw in the Apolex flashback. What we get is a big, monsterous gator man who is neither good nor evil, has his own motivations, and is both ally and enemy to the turtles depending on the situation.

What does everyone else think?
