Did we ever find out Tiger Claw's backstory?

One one hand it is kind of cool for the person doing it, since it lets them make their childhood imagination come to life and I get the appeal for doing that. On the other hand you should remember that TMNT is not Ciro's own creation, so pointlessly shoehorning in new characters (especially characters based on childhood drawings) just comes across as something out of really bad fan fiction...

True, but EVERY new version of a series needs OCs too. Look at everyone complaining that all they're doing is rehashing 80's character, after 80's character after 80's character. Maybe Tiger Claw and Newtralizer are childhood characters, but they're cool. We also got Fishface and Rahzar (I don't really consider anything about him related to the previous Rahzar. All he has is the name. It's like calling Pigeon Pete 'Koya'. Nothing in common at all) which were both entertaining for a while.
