Slash Origin - The Insane Monstrous Ninja Turtle Who Can Destroy The Entire TMNT Team Singlehandedly

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles absolutely took the world by storm when these anthropomorphic turtles were introduced to the world as unlikely superheroes. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started off as a comic book created by Eastman and Laird as a satire of features prominent in superhero comics at the time. Mirage Studios released the first issue in 1984, and it was a surprising hit.
The franchise has seen various characters join the four titular turtles and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had memorably battled a mutated creature called Slash, much before creatures like Jennika or even Venus de Milo showed up on the scene. This turtle, wasn't always noble, and he wasn't necessarily even from Earth.

[@TheDemonking82]

Slash is more powerful based on his biological superiority being an alligator snapping turtle over box turtles or basic river turtles. They grow much larger and are much more physically robust.

[@mangareader7474]

He really is a tragic character. He is an anti-hero, going around doing good, yet he wasnt raised to know better. The other turtles grew up with Splinter. His anger towards the turtles is relatable. He has the strength, but his intelligence is his main weakness, which is the best part. He isnt invincible, and there is alot of character growth through the different comics. He is a tragic hero that people want to root for.

In other versions he's from Erath however sonic depends on thr universe of TMNT.

"Cold steel meets hot flesh, that's why they call me slash!"

[@misterkillhappy]

The 2013 Slash is quite an interesting fellow on a psychological level. His actions from the start of mutation were only to protect and fight for Raph. And the main reason why he held such resentment was because from the looks of it negativity was the only thing Raph had to share with Spike when it came to his brothers, so what else would Raphs "best buddy" think to do than to but those who hurt his buddy in their places. It is an episode of "OH NO SLASH IS EEEEEEEEEVIL!!!" but there are moments where one must not jump to conclusions and think of the reasons as to why someone is thinking some way or saying certain things. Slash only wanted Raph to get out of the house basically to live his own life, be it like an edge lord, but to also be able to clear his mind and be able to focus on himself. Of course Raph is already kinda angsty so honestly there might not be much to "work on" mentally but the sentiment of wanting onlu good go Raph was there XD

The thing is. Slash kinda was in the 2003-2006 series in a way. Do you remember the Good Genes three parter? What Donatello mutated into looked a lot like Slash, minus the spikes on his shell, as the Don monster had none of those spikes on his shell. So even though he didn't physically have an appearance as a named character, it is still considered a cameo. But Slash's character in the 2012 tv series is by far one of my most favourites. But that's solely because I haven't read any of the comics, and didn't know the TMNT comics even existed. Not really. I knew about one or two though. One was thanks to the 2006 movie Turtles Forever, and the other was thanks to my sister actually reading the IDW comics. It's how I remember King Komodo and what he did to Leonardo.

You forgot to mention he also appeared in Night of the Rogues, at the very least as a minor footnote. Since he was only in 3 episodes of the old cartoon, it felt weird not mentioning that one. I did feel bad for him in his first episode though. He was violent and had a bad temper but he was literally just mutated that day. Dude has a lot to take in.

This essentially makes Hun the 2003's version of the evil Slash. Now, before anyone says that he was supposed to be the 2003 version of Tokka, Foot Ninja that were being mutated by the mutagen ooze as an army force, showed 2 specific Foot Ninja turned into the 2003 versions of Tokka and Rahzar, though like Hun not called by the mutant characters' names.

When I was a kid I loved the Slash toy. I was so interesting in the character, something oddly interesting in dark doppelgänger characters. I wish they would have been able to use it better in storytelling. Like with his introduction and also being a ninja he could have masqueraded as Raphael and commit crimes/assaults in order to frame and defame the heroes in a half shell. Another could have been later on where a turtle is captured on a mission and Slash is transformed to look identical (probably Ralph as well because of the grumpy attitude) so he could get close to and possibly kill Splinter. He is able to get close and is ready to deal the death blow when splinter tells him he has known all along who he was. That slash has had a hard life looking for purpose, that he had fallen so far but he is not a weapon, he is a turtle. Slash decides not to attempt to kill splinter and instead leaves to find out who he truly is.

I always imagined Slash to be the dark ninja turtle that follows the cold, black path of the ninja much like Shredder but has his ninja honor intact. Slash is the anti-thesis to the ninja turtles' ideals and would always question their benevolent ways as a ninja, which he believes sullied of what makes ninjas so fearsome, to the point of willingly starting a conflict to both prove his point and quench his own battlelust. I feel making him a comrade to the TMNT would be a waste to his potential to become a powerful dark tragic villain.

I remember that in the 2003 Series Finale, “Turtles Forever!”, Hun became Mutated, and turned into a Spiky Turtle. A lotta fans, including myself, we’re led to believe that Hun became Slash in the movie, and I was actually glad, since he was a lot more Terrorizing against the Turtles, when he became something he Despised.

Am I the only one screaming "Raphael clearly owns a TORTOISE"

[@ItsWiddy]

Yup. Even if they tried to pass it as a box turtle, the lack of claw would be a tell.

[@anester1866]

i still have that toy/action figure. i always thought it was funny that the body is exactly the same as the one they used for Tokka from the tmnt 2 movie.

[@tonyangelo]

This is why Slash is my favorite villain/anti hero Tmnt character

[@ryanbrown938]

That was an awesome video!!!! Can you do one on the robot turtle??? I forget what his name is

[@Nobody18718]

My favorite TMNT toy of all time! I love Slash

[@kylespevak6781]

Kind of reminds me of Venom in the anti-hero/frenemy of the teen heroes

[@adrammelechthewroth6511]

I love snapping turtles. Slash is no exception.

[@MrTimelord77]

So this is the Venom equivalent of the rest of the team. Very impressive as he started off evil and found some balance.

I think I remembered him but I'm not sure.

[@joshjohnson3442]

In addition to the mace, he had a really cool looking dagger as a weapon as well and a knife with spikes around the handle. I don’t think you saw those much in the cartoons or comics though. I still have the OG figure and it looked by far like the coolest figure out of all of them.

Good ol' Slash. Always a favorite

[@Shuichisaihara5499]

So Slash is voiced by the original Tommy Jarvis
