The Time TMNT Leonardo's Hand Got Cut Off! (Image Comics Moments)

Let's take a dive into an older comic of the Ninja Turtles. This little bit is from the volume 3 Image Comics or the now Urban Legends. Let's take a look at how the TMNT leader Leonardo dealt with a setback that was pretty devastating for him.

Leo's hand growing back probably has something to do with the mutagen boosting a reptiles healing ability. Something akin to a lizard growing back its tail after leaving it behind.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

Not the only time a Turtle lost a hand, Mikey in TMNT 2003, in that episodes of Donny going to an alternative future, Mikey have also lost an arm.

[@haku-chan9065]

That episode really made me cry. Especially the part when Mikey, Leo and Raph got killed.

[@ishma2100]

Now that episode was epic, Mikey had became more serious since the family had felt apart and the tone was more gritty and dark. I would love to see an animated film like this, perhaps geared towards an mature audience.

[@jeremiahscott2032]

@@amh2197 he even lost an eye due to getting shot in the face. The comics were much darker then the toons and the movies. I would like to catch up on them

[@Melodyofthesea78]

There's is one character called Pimiko? In this she's dressed like she came out of a bondage film. I remember in one part of the comic ALL of these women attack them all wearing about the same as the one lady and Mikey while fighting says this: "Sheesh! I feel like I'm trapped in A Beer Commercial that combined Baywatch and Barb Wire!" This is before Leo lost his hand but during his meditation when he actually contacts Donnie and finds out where Donnie is and the fact that Donnie has no sensation below his neck. That whole scene with a bunch of sexy scantily clad women fighting him was pretty funny.

[@dirtydan2695]

Wanna talk about dark, the current story, The Last Ronin, is both Dark and sad at the same time. There is also an issue of Urban Legends where Donnie is extremely hurt

[@Ac3the3rd]

To see The Last Ronin into an animated movie, such as the Batman animated movies would be amazing to see and feels like it’d project the emotion of the story much more

[@Mario_Sonic_Pro]

Has anybody notice that Michelangelo has got no damage or life-threatening kills? Like Donnie got cyborged, Raph lost half of his face, Leo lost his hand While Mikey is just sitting back.

[@jakeystarsuper]

I guess he was pretty much the most cautious

[@jonathancraddock1810]

Yeah. I noticed that. Mikey is usually the more layed back one but still he's a fighter like his brother.

[@rockmanlamar]

I loved the original run, and how by the end of it only Mikey was not physically maimed in some way. I liked that they came back to the series to give it some closure, but Leo's hand mysteriously growing back while Raph's face is still half missing after years of time doesn't make sense to me.

[@hettyscetty9785]

This is my favourite turtle comic. I totally suggest reading it if you haven't already, whether it be the coloured version or not. Definitely worth the read. It would have been better if he didn't regrow the hand.

[@mubarakhassan6060]

I didn't like it

[@khalifaalmahri5446]

Thank god your not the author

[@Osiris______Bryyy]

There is a Casey Jones fan film on KZbin old Turtle den you have to do a reaction or review of it

[@wendelleasports]

Is it back from when he played hockey? Kinda like a mighty ducks style spin-off?

[@RedShirtRemyStarship]

Aren’t Komodo dragons like crazy toxic and dangerous? Bitten once but then lead dragon bites his hand off. By then Leonardo has the toxin and bacteria in him now. Komodos when they bite will wait for their prey to die from the effects of the lethal bite. It is either bacteria laced with some venom that when bitten chews into the flesh. Blood poisoning, the wound septic. Actually Nile monitor lizards have a similar trait and let’s not forget Gila monsters.

[@A-G-F-]

The turtles have advanced regeneneration in these comics, it probably overcomes the toxicity of the komodo bite

[@milestrombley1466]

I will definitely read that series. 🤩

[@bentbilliard]

I was big into Image's Savage Dragon, Pitt and Trencher back in those days. I remember a crossover of Savage Dragon and the Turtles and I was very surprised how dark they were. I liked it but not enough to buy into the series. I thought I would come back at a later time, but then it discontinued.

[@lordjubilus]

they explain that they have a healing factor, thats how raph got his eye back and donnie decybrog himself, . i personally dont like the image run they totally missed the mark making shock just for shock

[@josephchambers2000]

lordjubilus, nah, they should have just gone all the way and killed one of them off. Michelangelo always annoyed me anyway.

This is some awesome work! Dope video turtle dens!! Always wondered if the turtles have some type of regenerative properties in their blood when they get cut, shot or the loss of a limb in the comics.

[@Plastic_Jokes]

I love the image run! It was so cool to see the turtles go through so many changes. I sort of think of it as a what-if series.

[@ChristianMartinez-gb2wj]

Urban Legends was some of the funniest comics I’ve ever read

[@GreenArrowHunter]

You should do a video about that time Raphael become the Shredder.

[@grandgojira8182]

I own some of the original image tmnt comics and I love them I can’t wait to get the urban legends re release when they compile all of the issues in one book

[@adistantimage3928]

I liked this series as a teen and bought the recent IDW omnibus. I've got the second omni on pre-order and will re-read them when it comes out. Cool to see it in color, as Fosco's linework can be a bit confusing.

[@livanroque6881]

The 90s image run is my favourite rendition of the Turtles after the original Mirage run. Great video

[@Saul_Ortiz_1000]

6:37-6:48 or maybe it has to do with them being turtles/reptiles

[@ouo7398]

I think he way the Leo grew it back is that I think turtles can grow back there tails and that was intensified by the Mutagen

[@BG-cs9ek]

Leo is very awesome

[@markmichel3855]

This was the current ninja turtles comic when I started collecting them in 1997. I started with issue 21 so I had no idea what was going on

[@A-G-F-]

Almost all my favorite protagonists have lost a hand, good to know that my favorite turtle went to that rough process too lol

[@mrfacephone]

Reptiles and amphibians actually can grow some limbs back. Most lizards are capable of dropping their tail in order to escape a predator and grow it back over time while most frogs (amphibians) can grow arms and legs back so they were playing on actual nature there with Leo's hand. Though having had a three legged box turtle as pet before I can tell you they cannot grow their arms and legs back like that.

[@shawndashno6022]

Well to be fair, your 🐢 probably isn't infused with a weird, experimental mutagen. 😂

[@entertainmenttime6822]

Ah, the Image Comics Turtles. I think I should start off by saying i've never read the Image Turtles (although, i do know a couple things). The Image Turtles came out around a time where (mostly) Comics didn't care much for the story and focus more on blood, nudity, drugs, etc rather then telling a good to decent story. So, i've been holding off on this run (you could say). Now, as for Leonardo losing his hand? Meh, i do think the execution needed a bit more work but, a Turtle losing a hand could make a villain more threatening imo. So, the Komodo's are kinda imitating to me although, i'll guess I'll read it for myself to find out someday.

[@entertainmenttime6822]

@tyrone kinard Nice.

[@MegaHoro]

I've only read synopses of the Image comics; they seem pretty scary

[@vermis8344]

Hmm. Seems a bit too much like the comic-book-death trope for my tastes. Huge life-shattering event and, uh, oh, never mind. It got better. There _is_ a precedent for badass one-armed swordsmen. Like, well... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Armed_Swordsman

[@mubarakhassan6060]

That was my biggest problem with it they get them hurt badly in the very beginning instead of across the series just so they can show how grown up this is and the Turtles act like raph got a bruise when he lost half his face and most injuries aren't mentioned later and heals it's such a cliché i hate it

[@Raul_Menendez]

Leonardo aka "Punished Turtle" Or "Venom Turtle"

[@blanketsisqt498]

"Leo's been through a lot" Me:in 2012 donnie almost died in an explosion, he got shot by the kraang, donnie and mikey got beaten up by slash,he got hurt by a monkey,he died twice in the comics,he was designagrated, so.....yeah LEO has been through a lot

I seem te remember reading an art book that said that the mutagen was making it so donatello was slowly growing his body back. So mabey that has something to do with leonardo's hand but sense that it was so sudden it might be something else at play

[@matthewmcneill5320]

another great video 👍👍 btw where did you get those ninja turtle model sheets you used as backgrounds? @2:13 ?

[@guatobean2869]

This was cool!

[@suprshin]

They were not afraid to fuck up our protagonists in the comics.

[@insaneedoko999]

Like I commented in Raph’s face being blown off the turtles have some sort of healing factor that is probably thanks to the mutagen since it’s the only reason I can think of and pls comment if you have any theories on this at all. Just to make this easier to grasp let’s say that all 4 have this healing factor with Donny proving how effective it can be and Raph being another prime example (only reason I chose those two for the example is due to their damn severe injuries they were lucky to survive though Donny was at death’s door so many times before getting kicked out back to the living). How come not many people speak about the crazy things the turtles have done and survived?

[@ishma2100]

Bro i have been saying this throughout this entire comment section. It would be soo lit. I love it. I am not sure what rating it would get. But look at the many Batman animated films that are geared towards adults. Now Batman is enjoyed by all ages. TMNT needs to go back to its dark roots and put something together on screen.

[@ninjasec]

I enjoyed this different take, and was glad years later to finally have it wrapped up. I do remember when I was younger though. Bodycount was a bit much for me, and was not the TMNT I liked, but now I can enjoy it

[@ishma2100]

Jason. I had stated in the comment section before how I would really appreciate a more darkened version of the turtles geared towards a more grown audience. Imagine seeing a animated movie like this with a great storyline and actual death. We have seen this in the Batman DC Universe. It would definitely work here as well.
