Who will be the main villain in IDW? - Page 2

But see that is exactly why they could work as new characters in the series. There is no one who would complain if major changes were done to them. I'm not talking about DL showing up soon but eventually Shredder/Krang will have to take a back seat. DL could be a villain to confront after.

Why choose obscure unpopular characters over at least well received ones?

We're far more likely to see 4kids villains like Hun or Bishop than anyone from Next Mutation.

I'm just saying that even though a lot of people seem against the idea, giving some of these characters overhauls couldn't be any worse then they already are. Anything they do with a lot of those characters would be an improvement on them.

I guess in a round about way what I'm really saying is people say that the Turtles don't have a strong rouges gallery and that's why Shredder has to stick around. They actually have a pretty big gallery if people wouldn't be scared to pull from all the different interpretations of TMNT.

I mean we have the Mirage, Image, OT, TNM, Movies, and 4kids. There are a lot of villains and stories that could be told without having to have Shredder and or Krang as the recurring baddie every other arc.

Even if that were true and not open to debate about the Turtles having a lack of a solid rogues gallery... I'm not so sure going back and digging through their old garbage bins to try and polish turds is the right way to go about it.

I'd rather see what new villains Tom and company can create and bring to the table.

I agree, at this point the only other old villains I'd like to see are the staples like Rat King, Leatherhead, Karai and eventually the Triceratons.

Other than maybe Slash, I don't think we should see many other old characters.

I would love to see Shredder and Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady, Slash, etc as villains, but like others have said, if they do it right, they can all be spread out enough to where you don't get tired of them, yet you yearn to see them sometime soon because their badass.

I wasn't a fan of the 2003 series, so I really hope Baxter doesn't go all android or whatever the hell he was. Hell, he's doing good as a human right now. Don't rush things.

Since I haven't read the first, second, and the fourth issues, I'm not seeing what's so great about 'Old Hob', but maybe I'll change my tune when I read those issues.

I never thought I would say this, but yeah, Baxter seems legitimate, and when they bring in Shredder and his goons, as long as they do them right, they'll be some favorites of mine.

Baxter being a cyborg was taken from the Mirage comics, Volume 2. And its too bad you weren't a fan of the 2003 series, it was probably the best cartoon TMNT will ever get compared to the original series or the Nick show.

Baxter isn't working for Shredder, at least not now anyway.

I think he actually is. Just hasn't been revealed yet. I'm banking on #8 to sway me one way or the other on it.
