Who Are The Fan Favorite Characters?

Aside from the essential 7 of the four turtles,Splinter,April, and Shredder who are the favorites of overall fandom in any and all media? I have my favorites and we all do,but who are the ones that most like is what I am curious to know.

I know Mona Lisa,Slash,Bebop,and Rocksteady all have a huge following,but which other characters have a good zied fanbase of thier own and what attracts us to these characters of the few hundred characters in TMNT multimedia? Just call me curious.

As for myself, it's Karai, Metalhead, and Casey Jones.

I'm surprised you didn't include Casey in there, he's definitely tops for me. Also fond of Leatherhead as well, and maybe Bishop. Maybe. Still deciding how I feel about him, but figured I'd toss him out there.

The Mutanimals have always been my favorite secondary characters, especially Mondo Gecko and Leatherhead!

I am NOT asking who your favorites are rather who are the most POPULAR SECONDARY characters OVERALL. I apologize if I did not make that clear. I think Leatherhead is,but is it just his '87 cartoon villianous incarnation or the character as a whole? Others throughout the multiverse?

Everyone's got different tastes though, so it's sort of difficult to say who really is the most popular character. Also threads like this have been done to death!

You made it plenty clear. It's just that there are more stupid people on this earth than any other kind.

Thanks,Powder.

Jeph,I don't remember one and could not find anything in the archives. I make sure of that most of the time before posting a new topic. I have a curioisty to who the cult faves are. I assume Leatherhead and Usagi(even if another person's character),but the 4 above are the ones that fans are everywhere on the net and offline.

The fan favorite characters are usually the most used characters.

Characters who appear in every incarnation like Baxter Stockman, Rat King and Leatherhead become popular for that reason...we always see them.

Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady appeared in somewhere around 150 episodes of the OT, (or maybe a little less, since there's a lot of eps where they don't appear at all), and we saw them so much.

Others manage to become incredibly popular because they're used well, like Slash and Armaggon who only primarily had good roles in Archie.

Baxter Stockman is more an ordinary character, at least during season 1-early season 2.

Bebop and Rocksteady seem to be fairly popular. Seems like with every new incarnation of TMNT there's a lot of people hoping they'll show up.
