Hey everyone, Ive been thinking over an idea in my head about an IDW version of the mutanimals and I have finally had the guts to ask you guys/gals about it.

I personally love the characters of the Mutanimals, from Man-Ray to Wingnut and think that an IDW incarnation would be a fantastic addition to the TMNT IDW mythos. With IDW being open to incorporating “mutant” characters across the many incarnations of TMNT (So far we have had hints of Bebop and Rocksteady, Slash and a few original mutant characters such as Old Hob and Alopex) I think eventually there will be a big enough roster of characters to actually form a team of Mutanimals.

Imagine the possibilities, a on-going roster of mutanimals could open up so many stories and character development opportunities, and we get to see more of these characters outside of the TMNT “screentime”

These are some of the stories I think could be very interesting

The formation of the team and them trying to find a place in this world (Ie Kind of like the TMNT without the Guidance of Splinter or a Code of Honor/Purpose)

Old Hob could redeeming himself or becoming less of a whipping boy and more independent badass mutant

Bebop could split from Rocksteady for a stint with the team, or vice versa. (I would be interested to see more character development time given to these characters, instead of being the mindless henchmen cartoon henchmen we know them as)

Man-Ray Vs Leatherhead, Protector of Nature Vs Creature of Science (I am assuming that Leatherhead is still sciencey in IDW version)

Mutanimals going up against other teams such as the Punk Frogs or the Justice Society

The ability to introduce characters such as Mondo Gecko, Rat King, Nobody or even Zog

Let me know of any stories you can think of, I’m interested to see what characters loyal fans would like to see together for the first time.

I understand that if this WAS going to happen, it will be years away however I’m just interested in what you guys think about these characters or if I’m forever alone in my idea

This is my dream roster (With the IDW spin on them):
Man-Ray (Leader)
Old Hob (Out for redemption)
Leatherhead (Brains + Brawn)
Zog ( The Lost Tough guy)
Wingnut and Screwloose (Comedy Duo)
Ninjara (No-nonsense Assassin)
Nobody (Wise-battleharded guy who relates because he is just as lost as these guys)
