![]() As Slash infiltrated deeper into the island on controlled autopilot, the E.P.F. In the end, the E.P.F.'s invasion of Burnow Island was a ruse-the real weapon was Slash, whom Bishop had surgically implanted with a nuclear weapon. He was later used against Commander Zom's Triceraton landing party during Bishop's first contact with them, and subsequently during a battle between the E.P.F. While the Mutanimals were eventually freed by the combined efforts of Hob, the Turtles, and Dark Water (the latter cancelling their partnership with the E.P.F.), Slash remained enslaved by Bishop. They captured him while he was reading on a rooftop, collapsing the building in order to stun him, and implanted control nodes that allowed him to be used as a weapon by Agent John Bishop.īishop immediately turned Slash against the Mutanimals, violently attacking them in their own home and allowing the E.P.F. He continued his solitary exploration of New York, but was unaware that he was being tracked by the Earth Protection Force and Dark Water. He brought an assortment of candy bars, and his very presence terrified Woody Dirkins despite his now-friendly demeanor. When Mikey offered to let Slash stay with him in his family's old lair under the church, Slash declined, saying that he needed to spend some time as his own master, but that Mikey would always be his hero.ĭespite striking out alone, Slash reunited with both the Mutanimals and the Turtles the following Christmas. As a result, he broke ties with the Mutanimals, despite his enduring fondness for them. However, he was horrified to discover that Hob had been stockpiling weapons in a secret warehouse and had hired Hun to handle the matters for him. ![]() With his new intelligence, he became the co-founder of Hob's new mutant army, the Mutanimals, and was involved in Hob and Splinter's attack on the Foot Clan.Īnother turning point came shortly after Slash's hero Michelangelo was briefly inducted into the Mutanimals, much to Slash's delight. After a few minutes of agonizing pain, he suddenly began to think more clearly and speak more eloquently than before. Mikey tried to reassure Slash that he himself was not even a hero and that the two of them were both still just children, but Slash injected himself anyway. He took a syringe of Splinter's compound-infused blood, declaring that he wanted to be a "hero" like Michelangelo. Slash's life changed forever when Hob began producing new mutants, but discovered that Lindsey Baker's psychotropic compound was crucial to the process. He was an integral part of the mission to reclaim Leonardo from the Foot Clan, and developed a strong antipathy towards Hun, whom he knew as the "Dragon Man." At the mission's conclusion, he was given a new black mask by Leonardo, as well as a bladed gauntlet. He came back into contact with the Turtles during the City Fall arc, in which he developed a lasting admiration for Michelangelo when the latter gave him a candy bar. The mutant cat became responsible for Slash's actions thereafter, and Slash-perhaps understanding that Hob had no desire to hurt him-followed him faithfully. However, Slash did not die of his injury, and was washed ashore to where Old Hob was waiting for him. During the struggle, Slash was impaled on one of Leonardo's katana, and fell into the sewer system, washing out to the river. When Slash was about to kill an unconscious Michelangelo, Leonardo threw a shuriken at him to get his attention, but attempts to reason with the snapping turtle failed. He attacked them in the underground bunker, and his formidable strength was too much for the Turtles to overcome. Spotting the Turtles, Slash made himself a tattered black bandanna in imitation of theirs, and followed them to the abandoned church that they were taking as their new home. His most prominent attacks were leaving claw marks on April's van, and attacking Michelangelo's pizza delivery friend Woody Dirkins, terrorizing the man and leaving him with mild injuries. He was called "Slash" for the long slashes his claws left. As a souvenir of his old life, he took a small palm tree from his old tank.Īfter his escape from StockGen's, Specimen 6 lurked around New York City as a mindless monster damaging property, scaring and injuring people. ![]() He finally escaped when April O'Neil infiltrated the laboratory in order to get rid of the Turtle Tracker, punching one of the Rock Soldiers and departing into the night. As Specimen 6's size and strength increased, his mind became unstable and he turned savage which led him to be contained. He was originally mutated at StockGen in order to track down the Turtles and Splinter, and was known as Specimen 6. While initially a savage and uncontrollable beast, Slash later developed into a caring and complex individual. and later a founding member of the Mutanimals. Slash was a mutant snapping turtle, originally an experiment of StockGen Inc. Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids.
