Mike was blind in Archie. He didn't have a breakdown per say, but after Vol 1 #10 and Leo's buttkicking, he gets very solitary which worries April because he's a bit destructive as well.

I think I joked in the Image lettercol that Mikey was probably going to get castrated.

Which series are you talking about when you say Mike becomes destructive? Are you still talking about the archie series or are you refereing to a situation in Mirage?

They're talking 'bout Mike smashing holes in the Northampton barn.
Also, I like the fact that Mike DIDN'T get injured like his bros. After all, Mike was the only one trying to make a life for himself beyond being a ninja, i.e. his writing, living in an apartment, having a pet kitty--LONG LIVE KLUNK!--and being uncle to Shadow. As for Cyborg Don, I liked it. I mean, being the brainy techno-turtle, Don was the only one Image could "assimilate." And besides, Donny was going to be returned to normal, but the series canceled first. However, I finally read Image TMNT #1, the only issue where we get to see Donny normal, armorless, and not in pain with a smashed shell and bulletholes. When he enters the kitchen to get the cake, he runs into the cyborgs. Poor Don--he has the most pitiful scared look on his face. And then all you see is his bulletridden party hat--I seriously nearly cried. |

Hahaha, yeah. Leo loses a hand, Raph loses an eye, Don loses most of his body, and Mikey loses ... his virginity!
Reminds me of a time when a guy at my high school whom I was kinda friends told everyone he was going to sleep with his girlfriend on the upcoming weekend. I seriously considered buying him a "We're sorry for your loss" card and getting all our classmates to sign it, as a joke. But I didn't. A few years later I told him what I had almost done, and he laughed and said he wished I had. But if I recall correctly, by the final issue of Image, Mikey and his girlfriend had only reached "third base." I really wish I didn't know that. But in Mirage Volume 4 he and some alien have sex. Don't know if that was his first time, or if any of his brothers have had sex, but I assume they haven't because it's never been mentioned. I really do wish I never had learned this stuff. Edit: But when I read the Image comics, it really didn't seem as if they were systematically injuring each Turtle and Mikey's time was yet to come ... at least, it didn't seem that way to me. Raph and Don both got their injuries in the first issue, and Leo's later injury fit in with the plot. I wasn't really thinking that Mikey should necessarily get injured because the others had been. It would have been too predictable and morbid if they had done that.

Horridus and Mike...third base? Jesus. The only reason Dragon survived Horridus' first time was because of his healing factor...being unconcious at the time helped.
I'm betting no one wanted to know that, now that I think about it.

Hardly like that (although Dragon never was a one woman alien amnesiac overlord). I, sadly, have never read that particular issue, but according to a synopsis on Larsen's site Dragon showed up at SOS headquarters unconcious after some big storyline. Apparently while he was out Horridus decided to...experement. Larsen seems to have decided to file the TMNT series under "No longer cannon" along with Laird, so Mike/Horridus never happened. Savage Dragon fans seemed to enjoy that little event though.

Hm, that might be true, Sage, especially in a lot of the older Mirage comics. In the Image comics, however, I think they really did a good job with Mike. It's hard to mutilate someone who's so intent on being happy, though.

They gave him Horridus for a girlfriend. A scandalous and embarrassing accident was clearly in the works.

did Leo, Don, and Raph even know about Mikey's girlfriend Horridus, in the Image comics? Did they care? As for an embarassing encounter between the two didn't that already happen when Savage Dragon's (what ever the heck his name is) girlfriend walked in on Mike and Horridus on the couch horizontal, and kicked Mike out of the house?

The comic is called The Savage Dragon. The title character is simply called Dragon. His girlfreind (at the time the series was coming out) was called Rapture. Don definatly knew about Horridus. She was the one who helped clear him out of SOS headquarters, I think.

Yes, Horridus got Donny out of trouble, and was even hitting on him a little--and a Triceraton, a little later.
Mikey only got to third base with Horridus (Vol. 3), but went all the way with the Regenta Seri (Vol. 4). Mike seems the most apart from the four because he, alone of the four, seems to want a life outside of ninja-ing and fighting. Donny also seems a bit apart, because he's a pacifist and prefers science to martial arts--which is why he had the whole Utrom plotline in Vol. 4. AND, Leo's injury was the catalyst for curing Don's injury. Leo's hand was going to regenerate (probably through the mutagenic degeneration that was affecting Leatherhead and thusly the TMNT), and the Turtles were going to discover that Don's armor was making him sicker and sicker, and had to be exorcised somehow to allow Don's body to finally heal. So, if Image had lasted long enough, Leo wouldv'e gotten his hand back, and Donny would've his cyborg armor. But Raph would still have been a pirate. |

Makes no sense and would also be totally unfair... I mean Leo can regrow his hand, and Don his entire shell, yet Raph's face can't heal? I bet his face would eventually heal (maybe not the eye since everyone seems to like one-eye Raph for some sick reason), but he'd never take off his mask long enough to find out.

Maybe thats the point. Maybe he'll take his mask off and realize his face has healed automatically due to their mutation or something.
