That's when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' darkness reveals itself for the first time: as Shredder bleeds out, Leonardo offers him a sword, telling his defeated nemesis to kill himself before the Turtles take care of it for him. One thrust of Leonardo's katana later, and Shredder kneels before them, defeated.
They're assassins who have been trained by their master to take down one specific target: Oroku Saki, better known as the Shredder.Īt the end of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, Splinter's adopted sons fulfill their mission: after dispatching Shredder's ninja soldiers, they take on the big boss himself. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aren't superheroes. That exaggerated savagery extends to the Turtles themselves, too. If they're not well-adjusted, who can blame 'em?īut, as part of the gag, creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird cranked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' violence up to 11, making the whole adventure wildly over-the-top. Not only do creators have to do something to keep Leo, Raph, Mikey, and Don interesting, but despite their kid-friendly appearance, don't forget that at their core the Turtles are warriors trained by a revenge-bent rodent in an ancient form of warfare, who are forced to live among flowing streams of human waste and have to hide their real faces from the rest of the world.
With that much material out there, it's no surprise that, occasionally, storytellers have delved into the less savory sides of the Turtles' personalities.
#Tmnt death series
With five main comic book series, a number of short and long-running spin-offs, four television series (and a fifth currently in production), six feature films, and more tie-in merchandise than anyone could ever count, Turtle Power has run wild for over 30 years. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are guilty of much, much worse things than crimes against pizza (although we maintain that the Turtles' chocolate fudge, sardine, and whipped cream pie is still one of the worst affronts to mankind ever concocted).
