Table of contents

She was a television reporter working for Channel 3 news under Charles "Chuck" Pennington, doing an investigative series on mysterious thefts in New York City whose culprits vanished without a trace. One night while leaving work, she is accosted by teenage thieves in league with the Foot Clan, but the Turtles appear and save her under the cover of darkness.

In the aftermath, April discovers and grabs Raphael's lost sai; Raphael soon follows her to retrieve the weapon and saves her again when she is attacked by a group of Foot Ninja in the subway.

During the attack, April is knocked unconscious while trying to fight them off with her purse. Unsure what to do with her, Raphael carries her to the Turtles' sewer lair. Though afraid at first, April eventually comes to regard the Turtles and Splinter as friends, even letting them stay in her apartment after the Foot Clan discovered and destroyed their sewer dwellings. Mirroring the Mirage Studios storyline, April is fired from her news job and the Foot once again attack the Turtles in the antique shop, prompting April, the Turtles, and Casey Jones to retreat to her family's farmhouse in Northampton, Massachusetts.

She keeps a journal documenting their forced sabbatical in addition to drawing sketches of the Turtles. She grows extremely close to the four brothers: Michelangelo, who initially confesses to having a crush on April, later addressing her as "Sis," indicating the role she has come to occupy in the Turtles' family. During their respite, April also develops a kind of love-hate relationship with Casey Jones. By the end of the film, she accepts her attraction to him and in the aftermath of Shredder's defeat as well as getting her job back she had been fired earlier in the film , April asks Casey for a kiss.

She provides the Turtles and Splinter with a place to stay after the destruction of their lair in the previous film, and helps them research the company responsible for the mutagen that transformed the Turtles into their present state. In the film, April is temporarily transported to feudal Japan , forcing the Turtles to travel back in time to rescue her. Following the continuity from the previous films, it appeared that she and Casey Jones were engaged in a genuinely close romance, living together in Casey's apartment, and working for a shipping firm.

She found Leonardo in Central America at the start of the film while seeking an artifact for Max Winters. No mention was made of her past as a journalist; instead, she now appears to be involved in archaeology. April takes up several forms of ninjutsu training from Splinter, purchasing a slim black-and-yellow jumpsuit of armor from Japan, and becoming quite skilled in the use of a katana. She demonstrates her combative skills in a one-on-one fight with the far more experienced female ninja Karai. A collectible booklet packed in with her action figure for the film implies that she had become a master of the katana.

The figure itself includes a katana, tonfa , and two shoulder armored pads; this outfit was replicated for the movie. In the film's alternate ending, Casey proposes marriage to April and she accepts. This scene is absent from the final cut of the movie but can be found on the DVD. It was reported there was a filmed but unused scene of a fight between April, Vernon Fenwick, Karai, and The Foot in downtown Manhattan that was cut from the finished film.

Will Arnett , who played Vernon, said his character "comes out just at the right moment [and] hits Karai with the gurney and knocks her off balance a little bit. Then April kind of finishes her off. April made a live-action appearance in the TMNT: Coming Out of Their Shells musical tour played by Sherie Rene Scott whose role was to incite the live audience to interact with the stage performers and encourage the Turtles when needed. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time , she kicks the story off with a brief report where Krang steals the Statue of Liberty and later appears in the game ending; she also appears onscreen in the SNES version to encourage the Turtles to fight when the player characters are idle.

April appears as a playable character in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters for the NES , where her game character bears little resemblance to the cartoon likeness. The first of these had a limited production run, and lacked a blue stripe on her jumpsuit; it was replaced with a yellow-striped version with greater circulation. An alternate version was released in , with a head sculpt closer to her cartoon incarnation, orange boots, and further modification.

Another variation was released in packaged exclusively with the Channel 6 Newsman vehicle; this April had the same sculpt of the release although her jumpsuit is green and the boots yellow. Other notable April figures include the version, dubbed simply "April" with purple accents on her jumpsuit; "April, the Ravishing Reporter", which was the first such figure to feature rooted hair; "April, the Ninja Newscaster", who came with one of each of the Turtles' signature weapons; and "Mutatin' April," part of the Mutations assortment in which April can transform into a humanoid cat inspired by the original series' episode " The Cat Woman from Channel Six ".

There is also an April figure based on her appearance in the film, wearing her yellow ninja outfit. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Artwork for the cover of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vol. There was a very good character description of her, so I looked at that and I kind of built her based on me. I felt that she should be a very strong character with very good convictions, she should be a loyal friend; she should be serious about her work and she wanted to be taken seriously, not just looked at as another pretty face.

Originally conceived by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird as a one-off parody, the comic's popularity has gone on to inspire a major pop culture franchise, including television series , five feature films , numerous video games and a wide range of toys and merchandise. The concept originated from an evening of casual brainstorming. Kevin Eastman drew a picture of a turtle with nunchaku strapped to his arms.

Peter Laird thought a slow turtle as a ninja was very funny. Eventually, they created a team of four turtles , each specializing in a different weapon. The traffic accident and truck carrying radioactive waste that caused the turtles mutation was an allusion to Daredevil's origin. The name " Splinter " is a parody of Daredevil's master, "Stick". In this series, all the turtles' bandannas are colored red, and the turtles could usually only be distinguished by their weapons, their names of address, and sometimes by their personalities; differently-colored bandannas did not first appear until the TV series , becoming the norm in most other incarnations that would follow.

Most other incarnations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to follow the Mirage version would be lighter in tone and target younger audiences. At WonderCon , it was announced that IDW Publishing had secured the rights to publish a new series and reprint the older comics. Using money from a tax refund together with a loan from Eastman's uncle, they formed Mirage Studios and self-published a single-issue comic book that would parody four popular comics of the early s: Marvel Comics The New Mutants, which featured teenage mutants, Cerebus , Ronin , and Daredevil , which featured ninja clans dueling for control of the New York City underworld.

In fact, many comics fans will recognize in the Turtles' origin several direct allusions to Daredevil : The traffic accident, involving a blind man and a truck carrying radioactive ooze , is a reference to Daredevil's own origin story Indeed in the version told in the first issue Splinter sees the canister strike a boy's face, though in this world it does not split until it reaches the turtles.. The name "Splinter is a parody on Daredevil's mentor, a man known as "Stick. After conceiving the Turtles' mentor as a rat who had come from Japan and was a ninja master, Eastman and Laird thought of giving the turtles Japanese names, but as Laird explained, "we couldn't think of authentic-sounding Japanese names".

Instead they went with Renaissance artists, and picked the four they were most familiar with, with the help of Laird's copy of Janson's History of Art. The book premiered in May of at a comic book convention in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The comic book was in an oversized magazine format with black-and-white art.

It was printed on cheap newsprint and only 3, copies were produced. It was extremely popular and soon it sold for 50 times its original price. The success also led to a black and white comics boom in the mids, wherein other small publishers put out animal-based parody books hoping to make a quick profit.

Most of them were sold to comic shops in large numbers, but failed to catch on with readers. This speculation led to financial problems with both comic shops and distributors, contributing to a sales collapse in — The " Return to New York " story arc concluded in the spring of and by this time the Ninja Turtles phenomenon was well established in other media.

Eastman and Laird then found themselves administrating an international merchandising juggernaut, overseeing a wide array of licensing deals. This prevented the two creators from participating in the day-to-day work of writing and illustrating a monthly comic book. For this reason, many guest artists were invited to showcase their unique talents in the TMNT universe. The breadth of diversity found in the various short stories had the adverse effect of somewhat disrupting continuity and gave the series a disjointed, anthology-like feel.

Issue 45 kicked off a major turning point, as Mirage made a concerted effort to return the series to continuity. A part story arc entitled " City at War " began with issue 50 , which was the first issue to be completely written and illustrated by both Eastman and Laird since issue Both "City at War," and Volume 1 concluded with the publication of issue 62 in August Mirage Studios launched Volume 2 with much fanfare in October , as a fully colored series, that maintained the continuity established in Volume 1.

Written and illustrated by Jim Lawson, the series lasted only 13 issues and ceased publication in October The ended production was due to waning popularity and lagging sales as well as a flood at Mirage Studios. A total of 23 monthly issues were written by Gary Carlson and illustrated by Frank Fosco. The comics returned to their black-and-white format, albeit without toning, but had a faster pace, more intense action, and surprising plot twists. In a startling plot twist, Raphael even took on the identity of The Shredder and assumed leadership of the Foot.

With Volume 3, the Turtles were incorporated into the Image universe, which provided opportunities for a few crossovers and guest appearances by characters from the The Savage Dragon series. The series ceased production in and is no longer considered part of the "official" TMNT "canon" due, in part, to a lack of desire by co-creator Peter Laird to follow-up material with which he was not directly involved nor fully approved. Raphael's depiction as the Shredder however, is referenced in an episode of the third season of the animated series , The Darkness Within , where Raphael is exposed to his fear of giving into anger and becoming the very thing he hates.

First published in December , the series is published bi-monthly and contains carefully-woven story threads as well as social commentary. The authors took this opportunity to correct the spelling of Michelangelo 's name it had sometimes been misspelled Michaelangelo. The plot centers around Utroms, amongst other alien species, who have landed on Earth and are living out a one year probation period, in which at the end if they are asked to leave, they claim they will peacefully. This leads to the TMNT being able to live normal lives for the first time under the guise of aliens.

In the shoulder, but still. It was called Smash-Up. We can call it Mutant Melee! So impossible that you might almost think that the Turtles franchise produced a cut-rate quickie cash-in product to make some sweet sweet cash, a motif etc etc etc.
