Would you guys want a Bullseye like character in the TMNT verse

So TMNT started out as a Daredevil parody and still has some Daredevil like aspects so I've been thinking it would be great if the turtles had a Bullseye like character who never misses his target.

Damn, Groundchuck and Dirtbag really need to appear in the Nick cartoon.

I'm really surprised they haven't used them so far, given they've gone through nearly all the other Playmates mutants and Groudchuck and Dirtbag actually appeared in the show and videogames.

Powder, you think they'd be good for the Nick toon?

I dunno, man. Mutants for me are a conflicting thing. Part of me fanboys over seeing long overdue visits from unused toy characters or new appearances from old favorites, the other is bothered that the new stuff has us drowning in mutants. I don't necessarily want to see them return (despite Dirtbag being a favorite of mine), but while it'd annoy me we got ANOTHER mutant villain, I know I'd love it. It's a hard one to call.

I think fundamentally they're too goofy in concept for Nick or IDW, & making them not goofy takes the fun out of them. I feel that way about a lot of mutants, that they're kinda best left as part of the era in which they worked.

No idea, forum glitch. I've seen it happen before a few times over the years. I was obviously replying to Cybercubed's question directed at me.

I get the feeling if Nick makes their own Dirtbag he'd be like a little midgit who digs holes very quickly and pops up around to annoy the Turtles.

Toss in a Caddyshack reference (Goongala! works just fine considering that's where they got it from) & that may be decent after all.

With a little work, GC and DB could have some seriously menacing designs.

My pick for "obscure toyline mutant" would have to go to Scaletail. He was originally a bounty hunter, and could easily work the whole "bullseye" thing.

I'll agree with the Scaletail request.

But I really don't see Nick or IDW having any use for a Deadshot/Bullseye assassin type character.
