The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been a popular fictional quartet of four little foot soldiers, trained in the stealthy art of ninjutsu, a secretive martial art developed and refined by a master swordsman and teacher, Katsuhiro Matsushita. Together, they clash against evil villains, protect the earth, and ultimately triumph. These turtles were created by collecting and reading about various Asian tales of the ninja warriors and emulating their methods and techniques. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise includes numerous pieces such as masks, costumes, posters, game bags, and much more. All of which make for great collectible items.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles popularized the idea of fighting villains using unconventional weapons like ninja starships, sticks, and boards called “ninja boards.” Their famous nemeses, Shreddar Koff and General Krang, use similar tools to battle the turtles. The Ninja Turtles comic books placed them in an alternate future where the world is on the brink of destruction after a nuclear war. In order to stop the destructive tide, the turtles, led by Master Splinter, go into action and become Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The majority of Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles stories place them in New York City, where they live with other turtles and the Shreddar tribe. However, a few have also been set in different locales like Japan, the Himalayas, and even outer space. In these remote settings, the turtles encounter a variety of mystical forces and various villains who seek to disrupt their mission or take over the mystic island known as New York.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started out as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who were given the name by their creator, Michael Green. He based his character on the storyboards of Donatello when he was a child. Green wrote the first two issues of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, which were illustrated by Tom Selleck and featured the late artist, Stan Lee. The cartoon show made its debut on Nickelodeon in the early 1980s. TMNT has evolved dramatically since that time, and several different versions have emerged including the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the New Teenage Mutant Turtles, which are featured in the most recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book series.
Many of the characteristics and abilities of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have appeared throughout different versions of the TMNT comics and films. They can all turn into Super Shredder, which is a combination of three different metals. They also have the ability to regenerate health and energy very quickly, making them great fighters. However, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have an unusual ability to stick to walls, which makes them an excellent fit in defense. They are strong enough swimmers that they could even go into the water and surf like a kayak.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles originated from the pages of the classic Japanese comic books, which feature them as young boys. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created by co-writer, Frank Miller and artist, Carlo Costanzelli. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have appeared in numerous other media since their initial appearance in comics. Several cartoons have been produced, a feature-length movie was even released to coincide with the release of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book, and a live-action television series featuring the Turtles was produced for a short time.
