Favorite cat-family mutant?

[CyberCubed]

So there's a lot of cat family mutants in the various series now. Who do you like the most?

I left out Ice Cream Kitty because he was in the other poll, and he's just a pet.

[Utrommaniac]

Old Hob, hands down.

Ice Cream Kitty is a girl, by the way.

[CyberCubed]

Other is for that Season 2 episode April briefly mutated into a cat, or some obscure Archie character like Hallowcat.

It's kind of funny there are so many cat mutants, but when you think the cat family can include both normal cats, tigers, panthers, and jaguar's...well it's obvious why there's so many of them.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Tiger Claw by far for me, what an awesome character.

[ToTheNines]

No Mew option?

[IndigoErth]

No FW April when she turned into a cat mutant?? lol


Among those I'm actually familiar with, probably Tiger Claw. Old Hob looks like a cool character, but only loosely familiar with him.

[Powder]

Other, because Ice Cream Kitty counts.

I'm not too big on the others in general, though Eric Bauza puts in an amazing performance as Tigerclaw.

[neatoman]

Hob.

Tiger Claw seems too much like something from a fan-fic and the others have never left an impression on me. And Ice Cream kitty is just too stupid of a concept.

Hey you left out April O' Neil's cat mutation from that season 2 (198 episode of the Fred Wolf cartoon.

What do you mean something from a fanfic?

[Rooish]

You forgot Sally Ride. But I still like Hob a bit better so there's my vote.

Gross.

He's a wild west style bounty hunter with a jetpack, laser gun, freeze gun, cyborg arm, eye patch, lost tail and is "the most feared mercenary in all of asia". He feels like he was created to draw attention to himself rather than move the plot in a meaningful way.

The show is almost over and only now does he actually do something other than fight on the behalf of others (summon a demon to revive the Shredder which seems like an odd thing for him to do), which might be the last thing he ever does. If you took most of what he does and applied it to Rahzar instead, what would really change?

[CyberCubed]

He's Shredder's right hand man. He has the same role Hun or Tatsu did in previous series.

[pferreira]

I voted 'other' as I liked the episode where April mutates into a cat.

[TigerClaw]

I like Old Hob, Jagwar, TigerClaw and Verminator-X, But i noticed Katmandu and Sally Pride is missing from the list.

So many Cat Mutants, but of different varieties, We got a regular Cat, Jaguar, Tiger, Manx, and Lioness.

It's very difficult to choose one, But had to go with TigerClaw, Whose pretty much a bad ass, And not because Its my name.

[oldmanwinters]

I vote Scratch, based upon his design, the humor of him being a "cat burglar," and the fact that's he's largely a blank slate at this point and could be potentially written any number of ways. Hope we get to see him in official media one day. If we ever got a revamp of the Fred Wolf toon's style, I think he'd be an ideal choice to shoehorn into continuity.

[Andrew NDB]

Hallocat ftw.

It's kind of odd a cat mutant being a natural enemy for Splinter was not even thought of until Old Hob was created and tied into their origin. The concept of a cat preying on a rat is so obvious it's odd it never happened till now.

As said, all previous cat mutants like Tiger Claw, Verminator-X, etc. never had anything to do with Splinter.

[oldmanwinters]

Lest we forget this likewise under-represented cat from the far-corners of the TMNT multiverse:


Hmm... between the Catwoman from Channel Six, Hallowcat, Katmandu, and all these other feline characters coming to mind, I might be tempted to change my vote to "Other."

I know, right? Everything about Hob (the TMNT "Magneto" and the predatory cat mutant) are all so obvious in retrospect.
