separated at birth?

krzysztof · 02-14-2003, 09:35 AM

Well, there's definitely an influence.....

*heretic888* · 02-14-2003, 10:33 AM

umm... besides using the same weaponry, what influence???

**Karpo_007** · 02-14-2003, 10:36 AM

Yeah, The weapon is the only thing I see in common.

**Kali** · 02-14-2003, 10:42 AM

Well, there's the whole RED thing... plus they're both drop dead sexy ninjas who use sai.

Eh, I guess you could parallel them, but they're hardly seperated at birth.

**Karpo_007** · 02-14-2003, 10:44 AM

No, The TMNT originally all wore red.

**Kali** · 02-14-2003, 10:46 AM

Yes, I know that, but Raph's the only one who's consistantly worn it. Though Elektra seems to have a thing for black nowadays.

**Karpo_007** · 02-14-2003, 10:48 AM

My point was that Raph's character couldn't have been influenced by electra.

**Kali** · 02-14-2003, 10:55 AM

Heh, I'm not saying that his character was either, just that they've got a couple things in common.

Supermik · 02-14-2003, 11:08 AM

Clear!

That character is copied by Raphael!

**Karpo_007** · 02-14-2003, 11:11 AM

No he isn't.

THEY MUST BE THE SAME!! AAAAAAAAHHH!!

Tinselcat · 02-14-2003, 02:01 PM

maybe they're, like, parallel versions of each other in opposite-sex universes, with no mutagen and... ooh, i'm getting a headache!

Thats not correct either, I belive Electra was created way before 84. Neither has influenced the other.

Supermik · 02-14-2003, 03:46 PM

Elektra?
Never heared (listened) in Italy!

**Karpo_007** · 02-14-2003, 04:29 PM

She's a Marvel character. I think she was created for Dare Devil, but has her own comic now. Im sure someone has more detailed info...

Supermik · 02-14-2003, 04:50 PM

Dear Karpo, i think you don't know that in Italy New USA style arrives with months or years of delay.
For example in Italy today doesn't exist Cable Tv, The new TMNT cartoon will arrive in 2004, internet connection we have 56Kb/s (only in Big city there is T1 (FasWEB)) ADSL is rare...

Eh Eh eh

krzysztof · 02-14-2003, 04:51 PM

The Turtles were partially inspired by the ninjas in the Daredevil comic books, especially Frank Miller's run on the series. Elektra was one of those ninjas. She's one of the world's most deadly assassins.

The Turtles were also partially inspired by X-Men (the 'Teenage Mutant' part, at least).

And God knows where the Turtle concept came from.

Anyway, I thinks it's a safe assumtion that Kevin and Peter were aware of Elektra's character when they created the Turtles.

**Karpo_007** · 02-14-2003, 04:57 PM

No, the Ninja thing was there from the first sketch. It is true that the first issue is a parody of the time's main stream comics.
