Identity Crisis: Who was the original Fugitoid? - TMNT comics

[@TheTurtleNexus]

If you watched the whole video... who is the unknown ninja?

[@lucasgibbs4050]

His name’s Jeff.

[@lucasgibbs4050]

It’s Fugitoid in disguise, isn’t it?

[@TheTurtleNexus]

@@lucasgibbs4050 Indeed.

[@ARKHAM9558]

Yo I have a question why wasn't fugtoid in the 1987 show

[@TheTurtleNexus]

@@ARKHAM9558 I am not sure at the moment. But the show already had too many stories about robots.

[@chillenterprises6033]

I love Fugitoid, he is my favorite non-turtle character 😊 Thank you for making this video about him!

[@skurvay3429]

I am so glad that a lot of the material from the Original Fugitoid story was used in the 2003 TMNT series.

[@Artisan1979]

I kind of thought that was where they were going with the question of whether or not the professors mine was transferred into the android, or if he just copied it, his memories into its core consciousness. It has an essential crisis to the character. The 80 W version may go through similar process himself.? But ultimately, I don't think it matters whether or not he's a copy or the original. He is still Professor Honeycutt through his actions and his decisions. That's what defines all of us.

[@Russkafin]

I remembered the Fugitoid action figure but I never knew a single thing about him. This video was very educational!

[@jonothanthrace1530]

I remember the Fugitoid figure being purely gold, it's so odd to see it having black highlights.

[@felestinastilton5016]

Thanks for such an informative video! I’m a huge Zayton Honeycutt fan, yet I’ve never heard about Mirage issues about his childhood and identity crisis (by the way can you tell me which one those are? I’d really like to read them!). Though, I always thought that all Fugitoid iterations are, indeed, a copy of Zayton (well except for 2012 Fugitoid because that one is an actual cyborg with a physical brain inside him). However - I agree with the point that it doesn’t really matter if he’s a copy or not. After all, the core traits of any person are memories, personality, the soul if you can call it that way - and Honeycutt still has all of them. His BODY was destroyed, yet his SOUL wasn’t - and that’s what most important for me

[@TheTurtleNexus]

Thank you! you can find the recommended issues to read in the credits of the video.

hi felya

[@BriarShinn]

A video about Max Winters/Yaotl would be cool he is a very underrated "villain" who deserves to make a return in new TmnT media

[@TheTurtleNexus]

He is on my list... but will have to wait.

[@lucasgibbs4050]

@@TheTurtleNexus A TMNT character voiced by Patrick Stewart?! How awesome is that? Next to Casey Jones being voiced by Captain America, and Splinter voiced by Aku. Also, it’s quite ironic that Raphael was voiced by the same person who would go on to voice the Kraang/Utrom in the 2012 show.

@@lucasgibbs4050 I would ask my audience why my movie-related videos are not interesting instead :p In general, those are the worse performers. So it doesn't seem like people are interested in me doing them. But I will do them eventually, once I get past the high priority ones.

[@lucasgibbs4050]

@@TheTurtleNexus The actors or videos? I’m not saying the videos are bad, nor would I say the actors were terrible.

[@TheTurtleNexus]

@@lucasgibbs4050 The videos. And I am aware that is a defect of my channel, because movie videos clearly perform well for others. Perhaps the problem is that they were already covered too much?

[@Turtle_titan775]

Great video really enjoyed it

[@jamesmoss3424]

The Fugitoid is a great tmnt character. 😀👍

[@lightyearpig12]

So the Fugitoid turned out to be a ship of Theseus situation, huh?

[@srstriker6420]

I wonder why the Fugitoid never appeared in the 1987 TMNT series because he could have been fun especially since he looks like C3po and that he would have come from Dimension X

[@TheTurtleNexus]

But some androids that look like him appeared in the video games (I think it was in the Manhattan Project). Still, not the Fugitoid.

[@srstriker6420]

@@TheTurtleNexus well which is why I wonder why they never brought in Professor Honeycutt for the 1987 series

[@TheTurtleNexus]

@@srstriker6420 It never stopped them before, but maybe it was because they already had too many robot-centric episodes.

Remember when you had a pee sized brain and your only memory about the tmnt were that they’re ninjas ?

Concept What if fugitoid 1987 built five or four robot daughters version of bubblegum crisis 1987 or sailor moon?

[@srstriker6420]

It’s hard to say about him being the original or not Can we talk about Darius Dunn all versions.

[@tyronleung5276]

I wouldnt be surprised if george lucas was inspired by the tmnt triceraton gladiator arena scene for star wars attack of the clones battle of geonosis with anakin obiwan and padme being captured by count dooku and jango fett because George was a huge comic book fan adapting howard the duck as marvels first cinematic movie and peter laird dressed as a storm trooper in his college days and both eastman and laird often drew star wars art work so coincidence ?

[@TheTurtleNexus]

There is probably a common ancestor, like Flash Gordon.

[@davidvangerner7241]

Imagine a actual official crossover between tmnt and star wars the clone wars with the triceratons invading the star wars galaxy during the clone wars and the triceratons becoming a actual third main faction in the clone wars and both the triceratons and federation galactic republic and seperatists wanting to capture the fugitoid to get a transmat device allowing them win the war and i imagine the ninja turtles getting involved fighting both the galactic republic and seperatists and triceratons and federation

[@tyronleung5276]

@@davidvangerner7241 the triceratons aren't the only villains there's the galactic federation who fugitoid aka sal the robot aka professor Honeycutt comes from fugitoid is probably an homage to C3P0

[@zachbahamutson5477]

Oh boy the whole thing about the fugitoid being Honeycutt or not is definitely a ship of Theseus scenario.

[@yuriiromanvych7215]

Oh my god. His name make sence

[@MrJonnyPepper]

I'm not sure I understand. If the fugitiod came out before the Ninja Turtles, then how could the Ninja Turtles appear at the end of his comic book?

[@TheTurtleNexus]

The Ninja Turtles were created while they were working on the Fugitoid stories. TMNT and its huge success made them stop working on Fugitoid for a while, so they decided to complete the story around the time they were doing issue #4. Fugitoid's stories came out in small chapters in a self-published "comic" because no one would publish it. So, when they finally did the crossover, and with Mirage being a publisher now, they re-release the first four chapters and added the rest in what we now know as the "Fugitoid: Micro-series". The timeline may be a bit more clear in my recent video about the Turtles origin.

[@MrJonnyPepper]
