What does the future hold for the "Pulverizer" character?

*CyberCubed* · 02-16-2013, 10:25 PM

So they introduced a new character who was obviously meant to be poorly received by fans given he was purposely written to be an awful doofus. But what does Nick have planned for the character?

He doesn't seem like a regular kid sidekick character the Turtles have in other series, like Zack from the OT, or Angel from the 4kids series where the Turtles were friends with them and enjoyed their company.

What do you think he was introduced for, and will we see him again?

I'm betting on the newtrailizer, thought I may not want it to happen, it probably will, or we can have him appear in a big battle to assist the turtles or something, but I'm leaning towards the newtrailizer.

That's not about the future of the character.

*TurtleTitan97* · 02-16-2013, 10:29 PM

I'm guessing he'll become the Newtralizer and then maybe somehow become a better hero. Honestly, I thought he was a decent character. While he was pretty much a doofus like Splinter said, I'd rather have him than Zack.

But it could be. A general thread about the character is pointless if it doesn't talk about his potential for returning in future episodes.

I still say nay on Newtralizer unless you want that bad-ass looking character to be a doofus. Being mutated doesn't automatically make you super bad-ass.. He's gonna be too busy tripping over his 90's pouches to do anything useful.

I think that's the gag. They purposely introduce a character who is generally viewed as pathetic, can't fight, is a doofus....and then he winds up becoming some sort of badass Newt mutant with muscles.

After the way they introduced Rat King as, "Dr. Falco," I suppose this is quite possible here.

Well, mutagen would be a way for someone who wants to be a hero NOW to get some perceived benefits.

I guess you missed the part where he said he'll be practicing. I don't doubt that he might be a profiicient fighter in his next appearance.

Hmm if he ends up being Newtralizer, it looks like he'll be training with explosives judging by the toy. Also I wonder if he got that gear on his own or has a benefactor. Heck, if Newtralizer is a villain, he could be holding a grudge against the Turtles for rejecting him. Like Syndrome in the Incredibles.

*Drose18* · 02-16-2013, 11:04 PM

He becomes wingnut and gets a buddy to b screwloose when theyre hanging out trying to stop crime with the info they got from the turtles abt kraang and get mutated.

*gobo* · 02-16-2013, 11:07 PM

What buddy? He's obviously a loner.

**Machias Banshee** · 02-16-2013, 11:21 PM

Hm... does anyone remember watching the Incredibles?

Our rejected little superfan could be overcome with hurt and resentment at being jilted by his heroes, which could drive him into being an Enemy.

Meee! I do! I love that movie, one of pixars best.

STORMSHADOW__210 · 02-16-2013, 11:27 PM

I think he was a nod to 80s honorary 5th turtles Zack He may have cameos here and there.I just think season ine is about introducing the pieces...season 2 is when i think the series will really begin.

*Shark_Blade* · 02-16-2013, 11:28 PM

I hate him so much. I like nothing better than having him not re-apearing ever again.

But like others has said, he'll probably be Newtralizer.
