villain! definitly! he's much more interesting that way

*Jephael* · 11-01-2011, 09:37 AM

I like Leatherhead as an allie more, especially the way he acted in the Archie comics.

FearlessLeader · 11-01-2011, 02:36 PM

I like both versions of Leatherhead honestly.

Though one nice point about making him a friend is that Donnie then has someone he can really relate to outside of just April. That was actually probably my favorite aspect of Leatherhead's character in the 4Kids series.

*Spitfire* · 11-01-2011, 04:07 PM

I prefer the Mirage Leatherhead whose neither good nor bad. He does what he needs to which sometimes pits him against the turtles and others makes him an ally. He also seems to have a lot going on. The only creatures that ever treated him well and essentially raised him left him behind and it's the turtles fault that this happened. This creates an interesting relationship between them and there's more to it then him just being good or bad.

While the OT Leatherhead was fun and entertaining he'd be pretty hard to pull off today. A huge part of his personality came from Jim Cummings voice and he would be hard to replace. He was also rarely given an opportunity to really kick some ass and spent most his time getting out smarted by frogs or carting around hostages like leased dogs.

If anything a mixture of the two could be interesting. Archie almost did it to an extent.

The Archie version of this character is my favorite and I really hope maybe that we will get something akin to it. Maybe he is mutated by the Kraang and the Turtles rescue him. Maybe they are fighting the Kraang when he is being mutated and at first hates the Turtles because they didn't save him in time.

Knight_man · 11-05-2011, 03:42 AM

A mix of both generations would be fine by me. a grey area villain not an ally with villains or turtles, with intelligence and is a bounty hunter sort. Cajunn styling would be a bonus in my opinion.

Alligator/crocodile: Intelligent patient hunters who wait to trap there prey in there jaws by staying very still in the water. has a timid relationship with humans.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 11-06-2011, 11:13 AM

As Mirage is my favorite version of the character I'd have to go with that. I hope they keep him true to how he was created. Such a great character.

Utromshredderhater · 11-27-2011, 08:54 PM

I don't see why not use both. Have Leatherhead be the smart good guy and make the rajun cajun version of him a bad guy and give him a different name. Come one, Transformers does this all time with their toys

Fugitoid Jones · 11-29-2011, 04:35 AM

I agree with everyone that likes Leatherhead to be morally ambigious. He's neither good nor bad. He is what he is. This pleases me.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-07-2011, 09:57 AM

To me that's what made his such a great character in the comics. He wasn't a good guy but he wasn't bad. There was much more to him then being a staunch allie or villain. I always saw him as working the angle of what would get him what he wanted, home to the Utroms.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 12-13-2011, 03:28 PM

Have him as a member of the Mighty Mutanimals

Hermano Dyvas · 12-13-2011, 03:44 PM

I'd like his 2K3 version. An Allie of the turtles but suffering from uncontrolled rage attacks. He's my favorite version of the character.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-13-2011, 07:57 PM

See the whole Leatherhead thing too is going to play into if there are Utroms in this show too I think. I mean to work the story as in Mirage they would need them, and by extension the 2k3 version too. I think the Fred Wolf or Archie version will probably be closer to what we get.

*CyberCubed* · 12-13-2011, 08:02 PM

Agreed, if the Utroms aren't in this series I think Leatherhead will most likely be a villain from the swamp.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-13-2011, 08:18 PM

That makes the most since I think CyberCubed. I mean it was a fun version of the character and I did enjoy the fact that they changed him for Archie but it still isn't my favorite version.

*MikeandRaph87* · 12-20-2011, 11:56 AM

It was tolerable and understandable making Leatherhead an ally in the 2003 cartoon just as he wasa an ally in the archie Comics,but I always have found him more interesting and fun as the cajun accented,catch phrase filled, mutant aligator bully out for revenge. I would love to see Leatherhead be a villain again in the 2012 CGI cartoon or the IDW comics. "You Betcha!"

cherrypotion27 · 07-17-2012, 03:38 PM

I personally prefer the cajun good guy version of Leatherhead, as seen in the Archie comics Ninja Turtles and Mighty Mutanimals comics

.

Mona_Lisa · 07-17-2012, 05:38 PM

I liked the 4kids leatherhead, but I grew up with the 80's toon... I'm more use to him as a villain, a cajun villain! I loved to hear the guy talk, lol!!!

I think I'll be happy either way nick goes, but if they give him the "cajun sound" I'll be Really happy!!!

Vincent · 07-17-2012, 06:21 PM

I like Leatherhead best as an ally. And as highly intelligent, but with problems. I never really felt there was much to the villain version of Leatherhead. He's more interesting to me as a troubled good guy.
