TMNT #96 Preview and Discussion - Page 2

I wonder if they had Jennika ask about her mutation being temporary, just to give them a "backdoor out" in case the whole female Turtle thing backfires and they can change her back to a normal human in case it's not received well. I guess we'll see.

I am reasonably sure people are overthinking that line.

Anyone that isn't Bebop and Rocksteady would look at being turned into a mutant animal and go "uh... can you FIX this?"

Donnie's enough of a scientist that he's not going to say "no," but his "I have no idea" isn't promising, since he didn't even know what would happen. All this mutation stuff is pretty random. Anchovy ate a human-turned-mutant-rhino guy's ear and became bigger, smarter, and gun-savvy.

Jennika gets a blood tranfusion from Leo, turns into a ninja turtle. Anchovy eats a piece of Rocksteady, becomes smarter. Random is damn right. Though, to be honest, I feel that if we were to see any examples of the ooze or the mutagen's effects wearing off, then Hun would be the prime candidate. He only got one dose of the stuff, IIRC, unlike Saki's continued treatment, and is still going strong. Able to put up a decent fight against Slash and a Triceraton, at least. Ergo, I don't think it wears off. Or at least not anytime soon.

At least with Rocksteady, he can only get so smart

I don't think a straight up blood transfusion would be enough to mutate someone, remember Jenny had some Ooze before she was injected so that probably combined.

Nice catch on the cartoon reference. BTW, Do we have names for Splinter’s Foot Elite?

*MikeandRaph87* · 07-30-2019, 09:52 AM

I cannot read it, its thumbnail size. Looks like Mitt Romney and a bald guy with Ruffington from the Nobody arc? Is that who you say are the two mob bosses by a certain name? Not having the visual that the character are and not able to read the preview I cannot tell.

At least with this incarnation of Turtelli, it won't spawn thousands of pages of weird tickling fetish images.

Let's put all our 87 Gangster Villains in one room, and kill them all!

One of them, the big guy who snapped Lupo's neck in #94, is called Mongo. I think the blindfolded woman's name has already been mentioned as well but I can't for the life of me remember.

Anyone else getting a lobby-shootout-from-The-Matrix vibe from her entrance here?

Let's not get carried away now. Note the two mentioned look nothing like they did in the cartoon. The one who is Louie looks like Ruffington while the one who is a don is not Turteli. However, I understand disdain for Turteli's gimmick. The other mobsters are forgettable though.

*Utrommaniac* · 07-30-2019, 03:48 PM

I mean, I was mostly joking

*CyberCubed* · 07-30-2019, 04:16 PM

At the rate the story is progressing I do wish this wasn't just going to end in another 4 issues. The Foot being ruthless killers (under Splinter's rule), is very interesting but it'll likely to end by issue 100. I also like how this female Elite guard is getting a lot of focus, she had the best design out of the others.

So both Karai and Splinter are going after the mob, which is kinda funny, in addition to each other.

Agreed. This sort of arc feels like it could go on "forever".

Karai and Splinter are pretty much doing the Lady and the Tramp spaghetti strand thing, only with violent ninja clan warfare instead of sucking and the poor Mafia's ever-dwindling numbers instead of the pasta. Brilliant!
