characters you don't want to see?

[Tazi]

Wanna see:
Bishop
Armaggon
Touch & Go
Tatsu
Null
Verminator X
Ninjara
Triceratons

...and a savate with proper fighting skills

Don't wanna see:
Female turtleish characters like Mona Lisa, Venus, etc.
Stockman in a permanent fly-form
Ninja Tribunal, and dragon transformations
Mondo Gecko
Adolf Hitler's brain
Way too silly OT characters like Mutagen Man, Pizzaface, etc.

I bet before it happened most people didn't want to see the Neutrinos again, but they worked so well that it didn't matter.

IDW can take characters and use them fine while keeping the essence of the original character in tact. I'm really interesting in seeing Bebop and Rocksteady finally after their cameo in the Raph micro.

I've never had anything against the Neutrinos, but it seems I am in the minority. I was not looking forward to seeing any more OT stuff shoved in my face so soon, but they were totally fine. I liked how they were handled. Could have done without them, of course, but I'm not tryna complain, either.

[CyberCubed]

True I'd rather see the debut of classic Mirage characters like Rat King and Leatherhead before more cartoon characters. Its really odd to me those two haven't even been hinted at yet.

[Powder]

I think it's cool, personally. They're always thrown in so quickly. They kinda become a given, and you sorta take them for granted, I think. I'm sure we'll probably get both down the line. I wouldn't care much if they skipped on either, though. I mean, I love them both to death (Rat King especially) but they're characters who've been around so many times, that it's not as though they 'need' to be re-booted, if that makes sense.

I didn't know they existed before. I'm not a big fan of the OT and I guess they weren't very prominent in it if I never hears of them. But you do have a point, that's why the characters I listed were more for being redundant and unnecessary, like Ch'rell coming into a world that has a serious version if Krang or generic animal mutants when we already have a handful, not for being unable to work cause the IDW team is very talented. I don't doubt they could take anything and make it badass without ruining the original.

Another very good point, I think Rat king works best as a stand alone villain with no ties to the foot and I'm gonna guess(and likely be wrong) that he'll have a short two to three issue arch sometime after city fall and its aftermath. Leatherhead, I think the writers have a real tough decision to make since there are two very popular but very different versions of him and they can't be combined so they must choose which to take their cue from. I personally think Cajin Leatherhead is very doable and has the potential to be terrifying(well...for a comic book character) but I have a soft spot for eye patch wearing, super intelligent dangerous but well intentioned Leatherhead...my only reason for not wanting to see evil Leatherhead is I prefer bipolar Leatherhead.

The Neutrinos debuted as early as the 4th episode of the original cartoon. They've existed since 1987.

I wasn't alive then lol. I've only seen a few episodes and I never heard any fans mention them. Then again I'm mostly a mirage guy.

[CyberCubed]

The cartoons have always been the most exposed part of TMNT, so a lot of people are more familiar with them.

Thankfully with IDW getting out collections of the Mirage material a lot of people can finally read them.

[miru]

Spiderbytez, Hokum Hare, Howie, Buffy, Chong (both forms), Justin, and various other OT one offs.

[marcelangelo]

who is hokum hare?or buffy?!?!?!

[ctt4lfecw]

I have to be honest. I don't know what's so cool about Ch'rell. He's nothing more than an more evil version of FW Krang. And he doesn't even have his own character, he just copies Shredder. The TCRI aliens started it all, but Krang is still better in my eyes.

I personally would prefer it if they based him on his Mirage form. Maybe something like Nickelodeon did... Mentally damaged, but with a genuine heart.

Okay:

* Toy-only mutants from 87 (excluding Pizzaface, Scaletail, Wyrm, Sgt. Bananas, and Walkabout.)

* Anyone from the Fight For The Fox Box (excluding Sonic)

* Spiderbytez

* Chong

* Slayer

OH GOD SHUT UP ABOUT SONIC AND SPIDER-BYTEZ HATING

No Venus please.

I just want them to keep doing what they are doing. When they do introduce new versions of classic charachters, and they will, I want them to make them their own just like they did the turtles themselves. But...excludeing charachters I know they will do at some point, I would like to see Kirby, the unused 5th turtle. I don't know why, I just do.


Now charachters I don't want to see? simple. all the absurdly goofy ones from the 80s' cartoon.

Adolf Hitlers brain?? Like when Arrmaggon used it?

[LeoNerdo]

Savanti Romero and Renet. I strongly dislike them both.

I'd have savanti, if they could do him right. ( 4Kids did him terrible.)

Not a mirage fan I take it? They'd be fine in IDW but they really couldn't effectively be integrated into the main story. They'd work I'd just rather the writers not waste time on them.
