Especially since the real Nobody came back... kinda.

He left because he didn't like the idea of people comparing the Nick show with the 4kids series.

I've always gotten the feeling that the people who work at Nick don't like the 4kids series very much. Even Greg Cripes said in an interview that he didn't bother following the, "2000 show" as he put it, because he didn't think it was very good.

That is rather strange, because this new Mikey is a lot more like the 4Kids than Fred Wolf version, but that might just be the writing.

Overall, I can't say I see the new show displaying a lot of hate for 4Kids. Back when that show was new, people always used to talk about Peter Laird's distaste for the Fred Wolf show, but this series isn't going out of its way to feel different from its predecessor in the way the 4Kids show did. The new April looks more like 4Kids; same with Shredder, and Nick's Leatherhead is, in my opinion, too similar to his 4Kids counterpart, to the point the episode was predictable.

So if the creators here are ignoring 4Kids' version, they sure have substantial knowledge of Mirage's.

Oddly enough, her ID said that she was in 9th grade. Is April 15 or 16?

She's sixteen in the show. That was confirmed a while back.

Haven't watched the show but maybe she was a turtle that mutated into a normal human and has been eating those cookies from the old cartoon to maintain a stable mutation, but isn't told about it just fed the chemical in her food.

One day it wears off and she is the stay at home mom for the turtles after a lengthy mental treatment after finding out she has been a semi-mutated turtle the whole time.

Strangely this is nowhere near as crazy as April turning out to be a drawing created by a magic crystal which all evidence pointed to things created by disappearing, being outfoxed by the usage of permanent ink and love...

I hope it doesn't happen in the show, but man what a great story that could be!

Hopefully she doesn't keep her hair that would be weird.

Did Venus have hair I forgot, it wouldn't be bad if she turned out to be Mona Lisa either, as long as it isn't Venus de Milo.

I mean that felt forced
I know.

Couldn't she have become somebody?

April trying her hand as a superhero could be a good episode though.

I kinda wonder if characters like Nobody and Renet will ever appear on this show?

Obscure lesser known Mirage characters? I severely doubt it.

My non scientific prediction

Splinter trains April. Kirby exploited by the shredder and the foot makes significant headway on the mutagen ooze. April and co attempt to rescue her father. And something happens to him, probably mutation possibly death. This drives April in her training as she is accepted as family instead of as a friend. Teenage hormones propel the love arc with Donnie. Little did she know that before her fathers death he squirreled away a sample of refined ooze before tainting every other batch and destroying his notes and formula. April comes into contact and is given some sort of power. Probably not detectable physically, but more of an enhancement. The love story will deepen and conflict of love and family is tested. If her father was mutated he will be lured to the dark side but will stay in the half shell while April and fam try to rescue him and reverse the effects. He will die shortly after at the hands of April, his beloved daughter. This will weigh on her heavily as she has been being tormented in her mind from her own mutation. Her grief will guide her to not only killing the shredder, but also replacing him. She will grow to despise all mutations. And seek their destruction.

Depends. Is Ciro a Mirage fan?

But at least Renet and Nobody appeared outside the comics. I'm not holding out hope for Gabrielle and Shadow.

Yeah, he said he was. They pretty much copied the rooftop fight from the first issue in the Gauntlet, and they used Letherhead's Mirage origin. We already got the Purple Dragons, and we are getting Karai soon. Plus they hinted that the Fugitoid might show up next year.

If this happens, I'm not watching the show. What a horrible idea. And I don't think anything will happen between April and Donnie relationship wise. It'll totally be one-sided on Don's part.

You said the same thing about Jagwar and Dreadmon from the Archie comics, and to be honest it's kind of a narrowminded thing to say in my humble opinion. Hell, you want so badly for Armaggon to appear, but he's even more obscure than them! While we're on the subject, didn't an obscure character from the original cartoon recently have a cameo on the new show as a mutant? Ciro and the folks at Nickelodeon can do whatever the hell they want with the property. They can use any character they like from any iteration. They're the ones who decide who will or won't show up, not us!

They're not really popular though. They only appeared in 4kids because of PL.
