What if they crossed with the X-Men?

I'm not huge on the idea that the TMNT share a galaxy or whatever with the Marvel Universe.

I kind of agree. It's always a bit strange to think of the marvel universe being this place with a million super hero's and villains just running around willy nilly. TMNT being contained is kind of nice when you step back and think about it.

Absolutely agree.

But a transdimensional one-time-only crossover? I'd be down for that.

Like Ghostbusters crossover? Sure why not.

I wonder how long they'd last in the Danger Room. They'd have some difficulty taking down some villains as the turtles don't have powers like the other mutants, even though they are mutated turtles. But then I guess it wouldn't be so bad. They've taken down others who had super strength, powers ect.

I wonder if they were to crossover with the X-Men, which version of the Turtles should do that? The comic version? 1987 toon, 2003 toon, 2012 toon?

2003 4Kids TMNT would seem most at home with them, I think.

I think so too. I could see the 2003 toon interact well with the 1992 X-Men cartoon.

It made me think though. If they couldn't crossover with the X-Men, what if they crossed over with the Gargoyles? Does anyone remember that show? They were creatures who had to hide in society, they had a girl named Elisa Maza who got into places they couldn't go to. She was the April O'Neil of the group, but actually fought. I think The Gargoyles would get along great with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Lexington and Donatello are both smart and like to tinker with things, and Broadway and Mikey like to eat and have fun.

I could see Xanatos making a deal with Shredder and Krang, too.

My own take on exactly that concept! It's a mixed-verse AU. (IE, the story is part of my AU Turtle-verse that mixes several versions, including MAINLY the OT and first three movies, with a few minor elements from the 2007 CG film, the FoxKids series, and nods to the comics, NM, and Nick.) The Gargoyles part of the tale is almost strictly canon, up to just before the episode "Hunter's Moon" where the clock tower is destroyed and they moved back to the castle. There is an OC character from another story who is part of the Hamato clan, a kunoichi who is training with them. (Oddly, I started the other story LONG before Nick decided to make April one....)

I should check that out sometime. I figured they could meet up together. Both of them live in New York City, too. It is strange that they didn't crossover with them. And they had crossovers before, like with Usagi, who wasn't part of the tmnt universe originally. By the time Gargoyles started, the Turtles were in the Red Sky season, so both of the shows were dark and dramatic, which might have fit well.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Very true. I kind of went with a bit more of the Red Sky tone of the OT for that tale (and the one it spun off from) with a much more threatening Shredder and more violent action. Even the Rat King makes an appearance in the "main" tale- and a kind of creepy one, at that. (There's also a mob execution and a rape in the "main" story, among other things. Be warned....)

The Gargoyles one I linked mainly deals with Shredder, the Pack, and Demona, though Hun, Rocksteady, Bebop, and even Tokka and Rahzar make appearances. Xanatos really doesn't have much of a role beyond setting things in motion, given that this is set in the last half of season two, shortly before Hunter's Moon when they moved back to the Castle. I've also been toying with throwing MacBeth into the mix, but maybe not. Griff will probably make an appearance, though, considering Lex's unique "status" among the Wyvern's, and an odd idea I had for those two..... (Yeah, I did it- I shipped Lex and Griff. Dunno why; it just struck me as an interesting idea.)

[pennydreadful]

I defs prefer Lex and Griff to Lex and Staghart - now that is one pairing I could never quite wrap my head around!
