Mondo Gecko reminds me of those teen skaters who would smoke pot and listen to heavy metal like his Archie incarnation.

It IS interesting that he is more Raph's friend in Archie, and that he's more of a hothead. I always thought in the Fred Wolf cartoon that he was basically Michaelangelo, just like Raph and Casey are basically the same in Mirage.

heh, i figured. but man...even throwing that out there has germinated the seed in some deviantartist's brain and we're gonna have to deal with that possibly becoming a "thing".

Go away please.

what a lot of you guys forget is that, The Mondo Gecko in the Archies comics has a girlfriend name Candace, And even after his mutation, She stayed with him.

*CyberCubed* · 08-01-2013, 03:32 PM

Until he dies.

*Luckyday* · 08-01-2013, 03:51 PM

He kind of reminds me Poochie from Itchy and scratchy.

I liked Candy Fine, I'm guessing after Mondo died they just phased her out.

I thought Mondo was an OK sidekick character for the guys. I mean, yeah, he was blatantly focus-grouped into existence based on what was "cool" into 1989, but that leaves him and a few dozen other popular cartoon characters from the 80s. Yeah, that did make him a bit similar to Mikey, but that wasn't a huge deal to me.

He wasn't a guy I'd want to see all the time, but I wouldn't have minded seeing him a bit more often, either. I felt he was someone the guys could relate to. I know some purists argue that defeats what they see as the point of TMNT in general, but I'unno. I could at least "buy" him a bit more easily as part of their world than someone like Jagwar or Dreadmon, I guess.
