Who will be the first 4kids character to appear in the Nick show?

[CyberCubed]

In the IDW comics we've already seen the return of a 4kids created character,

Spoiler:

Angel of the Purple Dragons.

While we're seeing many Mirage and Original toon characters returning in the Nick show, who do you think the first 4kids created character will be?

My gut tells me Hun, but it would be weird to see him without Casey Jones so maybe in Season 2.

[TurtleMaster4]

Very good question, i'm not that sure though. I kinda don't see Hun coming back though, i don't know what though.

Maybe Bishop, but i'm not really sure, you just stumped me!

[Zog the Equalizer]

Here's hoping for Bishop. It was nice to have a legitimately threatening villain that wasn't Shredder.

[CyberCubed]

I could see them using the Battle Nexus tournament concept in this show.

[Cowabunga Carl]

I could see Bishop being the Principle of April's school.

[Hero]

That's an idea and a half. Principal Bishop

As for Battle Nexus, I'd doubt it. I find most CG shows try to be less busy as possible. That rules out Archie's Stump Wrestling too.

I can picture Bishop in some shape or form fitting with the tone of this show.

[Vincent]

I wouldn't make a guess, but 2k3 characters I don't hope to see are:
Ch'Rell (The Shredder being human is part of what makes him interesting, in my opinion, and if he had stayed dead when his head came off, the show would have been much better for it.)
The Ultimate Ninja (He was too bland to call himself the ultimate anything.)
Ancient One (I didn't care for the dragon-avatars and magic gimmicks he brought to the show.)
Turtle Titan (Aside from Nobody, I never really liked the idea of superheroes around the TMNT - I didn't really feel like Justice Force worked that well in the comics in the first place. I also hate to see Mikey almost get character development, only to instead become more and more of an idiot for the rest of the series.)

I'd be happy to see Hun, Bishop, Angel, and even Garbageman.

[Jephael]

I dunno about the rest of you, but I'd kinda like to see Cody Jones at some point.

Nonsense. The show was fine with the Ch'rell reveal. Rather than be a slave to the (frankly boring) source material, that revelation helped give the show some innovation and shaped it into something that stood apart from the other interpretations.

Secondly, the 2k3 series, for all it's dark content, was first and foremost a kids show, there was NO chance of leaving Saki decapitated, look at the bigger picture.

[Newton Gimmick]

Nobody... And I don't mean the character Nobody.

I get the feeling that the folks behind this show are interested in borrowing from the OT and other sources, but nothing inherently from 2K3.

I doubt it. We're probably going to see something from the 4kids series.

The fact that they're using Karai and the Elite Guards and they're probably going to be more similar to their 4kids incarnations than their Mirage counterparts says enough.

Before 4kids, Karai was just an obscure Mirage character. It was the cartoon that made Karai into a major character for kids.

Well, I thank you for resorting to name calling, but I'm entitled to my opinion. I felt that part of what made Saki (especially the 4kids version before the Ch'Rell retcon) interesting was that he appeared to be just a man who had made choices in life that left him completely ruthless. The revelation that "oh, he's just an evil alien in a robot suit", to me, sucked all the drama out of the notion that this was a man who had made himself into something terrible (which is why they showed his face before he was ever shown with the helmet on - to establish that this is just a man who has made himself into a monster, not a monster pretending to be a man). And I really did think, in many ways, that the 4Kids show did use him to much more interesting effect than the comics did, up until the point when it turned out he wasn't a real person. And yes, I know that standards and practices and the FCC wouldn't have allowed a human decapitation (and I could go on a whole other rant about censorship and what I think of standards and practices and the FCC), but even within the boundaries of American censorship rules, it could have been handled differently than retconning his entire backstory. Skipping the decapitation altogether, or even a cheap move like saying that the one who got decapitated was just a fake robot Shredder would have worked better, because while it would have been a lame cop-out, at least it wouldn't have permanently ruined the character's backstory. This is my opinion, and it does not make me an imbecile, just as your opinion doesn't make you one.

Very well put. I agree with you completely, however I did enjoy Shredder as an utrom. It added a good twist that I think should stay with that series. The way I treat it is that the first of the series is one universe and after the reveal is another universe (I think that's when it started to get a bit more silly anyway).

[Drako-Cat]

I wanna see the Battle Nexus and Drako again T^T

anytime in the show! I don't care if it's many episodes away, I mean MANY
I just wish he would come back.

( Gee do I talk about other things? :/)

Never would have guessed...

[FearlessLeader]

I don't know about first but I would like to see Bishop somewhere down the line as another villain.

Angel would make a good friend for April in the series and I really like Nobody (who is also Mirage, but was featured in the 4Kids show)

It was Peter Lair's idea to make Oroku Saki into an utrom, Beside we didn't saw Ch'rell that much compare to the Oroku Saki persona. In season three of the 4Kids cartoon we saw the businessman side of Oroku Saki, in season five it was revealed that Ch'rell was an imposter and there was a human Oroku Saki.
