Do you think we'll see the Fugitoid?

Hehehe, that's funny. No but I would not consider beating up people I don't like the same thing as starting to like them.

No but the reason I didn't like them in the cartoon or the Archie series is because they're like Otis from the Superman movies, they're meant to make the goofed up main villain look better in comparison but ends up having the opposite effect of just making him look even more foolish and as such are the most annoying part. At least the Archie did the right thing and got rid of them as quickly as they could.

The reason they do work in the IDW comics is simple, they're goofy villains amongst many serious ones and they're seen for the useless idiots they are so they get demoted at every turn. The characters did not have to be changed to a high tech catburglar and a Russian mercenary, they stayed roughly the same, it's only their enviroment that changed.

Kind of strange that I'm saying it, the two TMNT villains who are meant to be goofy work better in a serious setting but it's true, in a comedic setting they're just pointless.

I think it would be fitting to see old Professor Honeycutt Maybe try a new story arch with him.

Particularly if he turns out to be a neutrino like he is in the IDW.

Then again, maybe the planet Dehoonib could be part of Dimention X.

I don't know about the federation though, it might sound like it's trying to rip off Star Wars. I know Turtle's in space was supposed to have a star wars feel, but still I don't think Nick wants people saying "So Turtle's is going Star Wars/ Star Trek now?"

The original "Fugitoid" comic that Laird did before TMNT was ever created and then shoe-horned in to TMNT later on was a very Star Wars influenced. The 4Kids series really played that up. The spiritual aspects of Star Wars never really made it into that story arc, though.

Personally I think he's too important of a character to be left out, but we'll see.

Maybe they could get Anthony Daniels to voice him, that would be funny.

[Metropoliskid41]

That's a good question.

I personally think Fugitoid has had a bit of resurgence and become a vital and essential part of the TMNT mythos that we'll start to see pop up in most incarnations. 2k3 included him, as did the Battle Nexus Video game, and he has been an integral part of the IDWverse so far. So he has been around in all of the recent incarnations, I hope that continues here with the Nick Toon.

And then pair him up with Metalhead.

[Davetello]

Yeah, he's a fantastic character and would fit nicely into the Nick universe. I think it's 99% that he'll appear eventually. Will be interesting to see what they do with him.

[shredder orokusaki]

He will but this nick version might be closer to IDW version than Mirrage.

Yeah, agreed.
