Breaking down the Ninja Turtles

Photobucket

I loved TMNT in elementary school. Even now they hold a special place for me. In case you’ve been living in a closet, here is a rundown of the characters.

Photobucket
Raphael
Probably the focal point of the group. A very troubled individual who constantly fought the others. Didn’t handle being a teenage freak very well. Awesome sais. He was a bad ass in the new one.

Michaelango
Biggest pizza lover of the group. A partier who was probably the weakest of the group. But he had nun-chucks, which are sweet.

Photobucket
Leonardo
The sword turtle. Probably my favorite. He was a leader and a goody two shoes. Fought a bit with Raph but probably the best fighter.

Photobucket
Donatello
The inventor who carried around a bo staff. I liked him in the first movie, but they changed him in the later two.

Photobucket
The Shredder
The lead protagonist in the whole universe. In the cartoon he had worse and worse ideas as time went along. In the movies he was done in by chugging mutagen and then bringing a dock upon himself. Sweet fighter in the movies, but useless in the cartoon.

Photobucket
Master Splinter
A rat in the movie, but an old man in the cartoon/comic. Either way he had The Shredder to blame for his misfortune. In either story, he ended up in the sewer where he raised the turtles and turned into a rat.

Photobucket
April O’Neal
The only female to be found for a majority of the time. April wore bright yellow in the cartoon and was played by different actresses in the movies. She was useful for finding information for the turtles, but would often get herself in trouble.

Photobucket
The Foot Clan/Foot Soldiers
A bunch of crappy teenagers in the movies. A bunch of crappy robots in the cartoon/comic. Basically just fodder to raise the turtles self esteem.

Photobucket
Casey Jones
A hockey mask wearing vigilante. Ended up getting involved with the turtles and since they had the same purpose, he joined them.

Photobucket
Krang
A living brain from Dimension X. In the cartoon he argued with the Shredder about giving Krang a body for many episodes. He ended up getting a body, but not in the brain area, but in the pelvic area. Seem to eventually get everything he wanted, but his plans were just as bad as Shredders.

Photobucket
Keno
A pizza delivery boy who was very noble. In TMNT 2 he discovered the turtles and took it pretty well. He decided to help them take down the foot.

Photobucket
Bebop
Shredder found two gang members to be turned into mutant animals. Bebop was a warthog. They had such promise, but they were still just as stupid as ever. They were strong and grunted like animals, but they were slow and dumb.

Photobucket
Rocksteady
The second gang-banger mutant. A rhino who was just as worthless as Bebop. I always thought he was the stronger one but I base that off of absolutely nothing. I don’t think they ever did anything useful.

Photobucket
Baxter Stockman
Scientist lackey who constantly failed the Shredder until Shredder got him fed up and tried disintegrating him. Instead of blowing him up though he turned him into a fly where he despised both Shredder and the Turtles.

Photobucket
Mousers
Created by Baxter Stockman to find and destroy the turtles. Probably the scariest of the turtles enemies as their numbers were huge and they managed to do some damage.

Photobucket
The Rat King
As his name implies, he had control over Splinter. He would occasional fight alongside the turtles but the most part he was a bad guy who took control of rats.

Photobucket
Leatherhead
Don’t remember much about this alligator mutant except that he came from the jungle and liked to yell “I Guaaaarannnteee”.

Photobucket
General Traag and the dimension X warriors
Krang made such a fuss over getting his rock warriors over from Dimension X. To be fair, they would have wiped the floor with everyone. They talk slow for aliens. Like all bad guys though they get defeated pretty handily by teenagers.

Photobucket
The Frogs
They had funny accents, as I believe they were French. Shredder tried tricking them into thinking the turtles were evil. They believed him at first despite having nothing to go on which seems to prove that both
A. Frogs are dumb.
B. The French are dumb.

Photobucket
Tatsu
The second in command to Shredder in the movies. Didn’t talk much, but his lines were phenomenal. “Ninja vanish.!” He growled a lot.

Photobucket
Tokka and Rahzar
Replacements for Bebop and Rocksteady in the second movie. They didn’t talk much except for “Master said have fun”, but they were strong. They were babies though and very slow. Tokka the turtle got stuck in a manhole cover, while Rahzar noticed they were being tricked by the turtles when the turtles tried feeding the duo anti-mutagen.

Photobucket
Technodrome
The Technodrome really isn’t a character, but it is a kick ass mobile fortress with a missile shooting eye. It can electrocute, dig tunnels. Well that might be about it, but it’s got a missile!

Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46. Satan     Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil Wears Bill Cosby sweaters and is always trying to kill his daughters boyfriend DJ Jesus. Yeah... One of the H. Jon Benjamin voices 45.
