What I wonder is if they're the IDW version of Shredder elite (aka. generals in foot clan), or they're the personal bodyguards of Shredder.
It just seems wierd that Shredder never used them in a battle. |

I enjoyed this topic. I wish IDW could get some figures made for their different Foot Ninjas.

I updated the original post with new info.
I am not sure if I should include Hun in this list. He works for the Shredder but indirectly, because he is still the leader of an other organization, the Purple Dragons. Let me know what you think.

I think many of us suspect...

Kitsune is not the leader of the Foot clan in practice either. Her plans extend far beyond that ninja organization. She is mystical, just like the Ratking.
I understand that the Shredder is Kitsune's puppet but to say he isn't in practice the leader of the Foot clan would be quite the stretch.

Love that line!!!!
The Elites from 2k3 are my favorite design of any foot ninja in TMNT. Awesome thread by the way. Great and accurate description.

This is a great compilation of information, I think you're spot on with your assumptions. I think it would be cool to see a mini-series from the Foot Clan's point of view, see some of their inner workings and all that

First, and foremost, nice list! It works really well for TMNT!
Now, onto a more serious matter. Just wanted to throw this out there: Konigun Ninjutsu is (was?) a fraudulent Ninjutsu school that was created and ran by the late Bryce Dallas. Dallas had no formal training in any traditional Japanese martial arts (let alone any containing any Ninjutsu techniques), his explanations of Japanese history were lies, and he stole his title (Shidoshi) from the Bujinkan's ranking system. He was also "a twice-convicted felon (once for counterfeiting, and once for burglary) and lifelong serial criminal. According to many former members, Mr. Dallas used many tactics of manipulation and intimidation, and engaged in acts of mental, emotional and physical abuse." (Source: CultEducation.com) Longtime member George Jay Green assumed leadership after Dallas died in 2010. All that having been said, the Foot ranking structure in the opening post isn't a bad one for a comic book Ninja clan. The source that you pulled from probably got his information from pop culture so it works! Just note that the source in the first post shouldn't be trusted for anything other than complete fiction. |

This chart has inspired me to do a version with the Nick series Foot. Obviously, Nick's version is more tight-knit and reliant on individual specialists and outside cooperation.

Sorry for the necroposting, but has Splinter changed his Elite Foot Guards?

I believe it remains relevant even now. I made minor updates on the OP. But to answer your question, Raptor86, I don't think it is as much a "change" of Elite Foot Guards as it is the depiction variations depending on the artists. Some of the arts draw the Elites and ordinary Foot soldiers differently. Minor differences but still noticeable for purists. I'm talking about their apperance not the personnel proper as it is possible Splinter could have hand picked different men for the same position.

Just wondering, have we ever seen female low level foot ninja in the IDW series? So, no assassins or elite (like Yumiko).
