!! As a whole
* TheTeam: Classic FiveBadBand during Season 1
** BigBad: Shredder
** TheDragon: Dogpound/Chris Bradford, who is later demoted to TheBrute and one of ThoseTwoGuys.
** TheBrute: Fishface/Xever, later joined by Dogpound/[[spoiler:Rahzar]].
** EvilGenius: Baxter Stockman
** DarkChick: Karai - who later replaces Dogpound as TheDragon.
** The Dark SixthRanger: Tigerclaw, who functions as a second Dragon, [[spoiler: and then primary dragon after Karai's defection]]
** GoldfishPoopGang: Fong, Tsoi, and Sid
** {{Mooks}}: Foot Soldiers.
** TeamPet: Hachiko (Shredder's dog).
* EvilCounterpart: To Hamato Yoshi's clan (The Turtles and Splinter)
** Shredder to Splinter: The BigBad and BigGood behind the scenes that judge the outcome of missions. Dogpound also compares them as being equal in skill but having totally different values in the Season 1 Finale. They were formerly best friends.
** Bradford to Leonardo: Initially TheLeader on the field and the master's most trusted disciple
*** Dogpound to Michelangelo: ButtMonkey to the team though Dogpound is unintentional and Mikey mostly embraces it. They also used to be 'Facebook' friends.
** Xever/Fishface to Raphael: The [[TheLancer leader's]] [[TheDragon foil]] and [[TheBigGuy most aggressive]] [[TheBrute fighter]]. The even acknowledge it when forced to work together.
** Baxter to Donatello: {{Technobabble}} [[GadgeteerGenius Gadgeteer]] variety [[EvilGenius geni]][[TheSmartGuy uses]]. They also both wear [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]].
** Karai to April: Share a [[DaddysLittleVillain father]] [[ReplacementGoldfish daughter]] relationship to the master, and deeply mourn the loss of their mother. While April is a WeirdnessMagnet, Karai initially [[IJustWantToBeSpecial just wants to be special]] prompting several {{Designated Girl Fight}}s despite their obvious gap in skill.
*** Karai to Leonardo: The new Leader on the field, have the closest relationship with the master and are the most skilled. They both wanted some sort of truce between the two clans at one point, but after having to defend their families from each other they develop a personal feud on top of the family one.
** Chromedome to Metalhead: similar names aside both are as krang tech based MadeOfIron mechs.
!! The Shredder/Oroku Saki
->Voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TMNT_021_31.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-"Your skills are impressive. But they will '''not''' save you."-] ]]
-> ''"There is undoubtedly a fascinating story behind how my old nemesis came to teach ninjitsu to four mutant turtles. Perhaps I will let one of you live long enough to tell it."''
Once the best friend of Hamato Yoshi, jealousy over Yoshi's marriage to Tang Shen, who they both loved, prompted him to turn to the dark side, and attempt to kill Yoshi. A fire that broke out during the battle disfigured Saki, and seemingly killed both Shen and her and Yoshi's daughter. Subsequently becoming the head of the Foot Clan, Saki moved to New York to hunt down and kill his old nemesis after seeing a news broadcast that implied that Yoshi is still alive.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: He cuts through parts of a building sign like butter.
* AbusiveParents: Implied towards Karai, especially since he threatened to hurt her if she didn't obey him. [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes She still loves him though.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Splinter and the entire Hamato Clan. Anything he does is aimed at either killing Splinter, or making him suffer.
* {{Badass}}: He's a very formidable combatant, as seen in "The Gauntlet".
** BadassBaritone: He's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. What did you expect?
** BadassCape: Though he [[TheCoatsAreOff sheds it]] when he fights the Turtles.
** BadassNormal: He appears to be a normal human, despite his extreme strength, speed and ferocity. And he's proven more dangerous than mutants and aliens the size of cars.
** BadassInANiceSuit: In Xever's flashback explaining his StartOfDarkness, Shredder, in silhouette, appears to be wearing a rather nice suit.
** HandicappedBadass: He's clearly blind in his right eye, and it doesn't make him any less formidable or scary.
* BadBoss: He makes it a clear point that he would not hesitate to mutilate his lieutenants if they disappointed him. He threatens to harm Karai in the same way if she doesn't eliminate Leonardo the next time they meet. Keep in mind that Karai's his daughter.
** In the episode "Pulverizer Returns!", he's gathering mutagen to use on his minions. If you're lucky, mutagen turns you into [[http://images.wikia.com/tmnt/images/3/3f/Fishface_mutates.jpg this]] or [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130418202651/tmnt/images/2/21/644650_531150070257262_373557306_n.png this]]. If you're ''unlucky'', you turn into [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130512183449/tmnt/images/e/ef/Timothy_Mutagen.png this]].
** [[spoiler:"The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman" has him detonate Baxter Stockman's Mutagen collar when all he probably really needed to do was tell Baxter to make more dangerous or intimidating mutants, and he barely even hesitates when Baxter starts begging Shredder not to do it.]]
* BaldOfEvil: Judging by the end of the first episode and Xever's flashback, his hair is gone, most likely due to the burn scars he's suffered. [[spoiler: Confirmed in the Season 1 finale when Splinter knocks his helmet off]]
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: Pulled off two at the end of Season 1, where he had the Kraang lure the turtles in and stage a breakout in their prison so the turtles would rescue Kirby O'Niel, who was being controlled by a device planted by the Kraang on him, with the plan being for him to kidnap April once he was taken to the turtles' lair, since he knew Splinter would come to his building to rescue her. It worked like a charm, the only thing that came close derailing it being the Newtrilizer breaking out.]]
* BigBad: As per tradition of the ninja turtles' franchise, he seems to be this.
** BigBadEnsemble: So far sharing this with the Kraang, as both of them have served as the main recurring threats and both playing a part in the turtles' origin.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His trademark tiger-claws, which here are bigger and come in a pair as opposed to just one. He can also have a third blade pop out of his gauntlets, and ''all'' of them are retractable
* BluntYes: When Karai [[spoiler:finally learns who her real father is and demands to know if it's true]], his only response is a "Yes." completely devoid of hesitation.
* BrutalHonesty: When Karai asks him if he would punish him even if she's his daughter. He notes that she's ''especially'' the case.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Threatens a captured Kraang with it to get him to talk.
* TheComicallySerious: Rather rare, but two instances stand out in "Panic In The Sewers" and "Karai's Vendetta", respectively:
--> (Learning that Dogpound was defeated) "...They defeated you with ''go karts'', and a ''water balloon''?"
--> [[spoiler:(Upon his first time speaking to one of The Kraang) "Do they ''all'' speak like this?"]]
* CompositeCharacter: His vocals and basic design take cues from the 1987 Shredder, but the clothes have a red tint similar to the original comics, while having the combat prowess and effectiveness of the films and 2003 incarnations.
* CoolHelmet: Like follows the samurai-like kabuto/helmet style of his previous incarnations.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: At the very least, Splinter sees him this way.
* CurbStompBattle: As per Ninja Turtle tradition, his first fight with the turtles is one of these in his favor.
* DirtyCoward: Beats on Splinter after he's been weakened by a poisoned-dart.
* TheDreaded: Even so far that ''Splinter'' had a nightmare of him slaughtering the turtles.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Had this mentality concerning Tang Shen, hence why he murdered her [[GreenEyedMonster when she chose Hamato Yoshi over him.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Much of his scenes are usually threatening his men or being uninterested [[RevengeBeforeReason in anything but revenge]]. [[spoiler:"The Gauntlet" finally showcases him in a fight, and [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence the fight scene itself]] further shows his hunger for revenge as well as how brutal and quick on his feet he is.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Possibly his daughter Karai, but it's not clear. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted in the Season 1 finale where it's shown that he's just using her to get back at Hamato Yoshi]].
* EvilCounterpart: Is this to Hamato Yoshi/Splinter. Both are equally skilled combatants, and both are the leaders of their respective clans. Chris Bradford/Dogpound even remarks on their similarities to Xever/Fishface, stating that Splinter is just as skilled as Shredder, but "doesn't have the stomach to finish the fight."
* EvilFormerFriend: To Hamato Yoshi/Splinter.
* EvilIsBigger: While not LargeAndInCharge, he's still much stockier than Splinter is while being the same height as him.
* EvilIsPetty: Of the RevengeBeforeReason variety.
* EvilLaugh: Doesn't usually do it, but does it much more frequently in the finale, where [[spoiler:he states that his revenge is already complete, as he's raised Splinter's own daughter to hate him]].
** Also lets one when he sees that Splinter is a Rat
* EvilOverlord: Of "the foot" at least, it is unknown how large it is though.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is ''very'' deep this time around.
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: The aforementioned CurbStompBattle involves him kicking Raphael into an electrified sign and later dropping pieces of said sign on top of Michelangelo.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: A significant portion of his face is covered in burn scars, and his right eye is whited out.
* GreenEyedMonster: His jealousy of Hamato Yoshi for winning Tang Shen's love prompted their feud.
* IfICantHaveYou: To Tang Shen, to the extent that he burned down Splinter's house and killed her in a jealous rage.
** AccidentalMurder: Then again, according to the Turtlepedia it was implied to have been an accident.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a BadBoss and quick to berate his underlings if they fail him, even if he doesn't kill them.
* KnightOfCerebus: The episodes he's in usually make it clear that it's not going to be the same as a one-off adventure, and whenever he's in a fight scene, [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence things get really ugly]]. The fact that he's a much, ''much'' more personal enemy to the Turtles and won't settle for anything but attacking them where it hurts (such as [[spoiler:stealing Hamato Yoshi's child and raising her as his own to get his ultimate revenge on his former friend]]) earns him this status.
** To put another thing in perspective, the point when he finally got up and did something, it brought a darker shift in the show. [[spoiler: His VillainTeamUp with the Kraang also allowed them to nearly succeed in their invasion of Earth.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: A rather morose, quiet theme irregularly shows up during scenes with him, before turning rather menacing, but still quite.
* LighterAndSofter: While he shares a lot in common with his 2003 incarnation, such as his AxCrazy personality, he is far less punishing and cruel, generally letting his minions live without much of a scratch on them. Although Season 2 and certain events, such as his near-complete lack of hesitance in mutating of Baxter Stockman and [[spoiler:Karai learning who her father actually is]] are starting to change this.
* LightningBruiser: Donatello described him like this. So far only Splinter has proven as fast, or as strong as him.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: His [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited attraction to Tang Shen]] was what caused him to go from Hamato Yoshi's friend [[EvilFormerFriend to]] ArchEnemy.
* MythologyGag: When he first shows up in The Gauntlet, Donatello nervously says, "do you think that's The Shredder?" and Raphael replies, "well, it's definitely ''a'' shredder", referencing the various versions of The Shredder appearing in each of The TMNT series and original comics. WordOfGod says that The Shredder earned his title when Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were talking about a villain who used cheese graters as offensive armor. Originally he was going to be called "The Grate-Man" but Pete Laird decided on "The Shredder".
* NoSenseOfHumor: He's very serious, to say the least. This is especially evident in his interactions with [[DeadpanSnarker Karai]].
* ObviouslyEvil: Let's see deep voice, evil scars, dangerous looking costume covered in spikes, calls himself "Shredder"... Definitely a bad guy.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: What he's been for most of the first season so far with the exception of "The Gauntlet" where he takes action against the Turtles after Bradford and Xever fail him one time too many.
* PragmaticVillainy: Despite Baxter Stockman's Mousers losing them a chance at finding the turtle's lair, Shredder spares him because he has use for his talents.
* PutOnABus: During an episode in early season 2, he mentions having to do business in Japan and leaves Karai to fill in for him while he's gone, he didn't return until "The Manhattan Project"
* RedRightHand: His burned face and blind left eye.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Has shown shades of this in 'Alien Agenda'. However, after Karai gives him a working piece of Kraang technology, he changes his tune. He does this ''again'' in "Enemy of my Enemy", prompting Karai (who also lampshades his problem) to seek an alliance with the turtles. Splinter calls him out on this in the Season 1 finale, claiming if he dies, [[AndThenWhat Shredder will have nothing]].
** A major part of his character is he is so consumed by his thirst for revenge nothing else ''matters'' to him at all. [[spoiler:Not even Karai.]]
* ShouldersOfDoom: Still going with some of his older character designs.
* ShutUpKirk: Shredder's response to Splinter is that [[spoiler: after he kills him, he'll still have his daughter as a living symbol of his revenge for all her life.]]
* SpikesOfVillainy: He has plenty, going with his nickname "The Shredder".
* TookALevelInKindness: Sort of. While Shredder is still very much the BigBad and the Turtles' ArchEnemy, he's still ''way'' better here than the AxCrazy genocidal sociopath he was in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003''.
** [[spoiler: He's still an asshole though, seen in the Season 1 finale though, where it turns out that he took Hamato Yoshi's daughter and raised her to hate her biological father simply to hurt Yoshi.]]
* TwoFaced: [[spoiler: The fire that killed Tang Shen has burned roughly half of Shredder's face, as shown when Splinter knocks his helmet off]].
* VillainTeamUp: [[spoiler: It appears that he and the Kraang will be doing this against the Turtles now that they've realized how much of a problem they are to both. He does so by helping to capture April and handing her over to the Kraang.]]
* VocalEvolution: His voice is a little higher pitched in "Enemy of My Enemy", sounding slightly more like his 1987 counterpart. It's still plenty deep though. "Karai's Vendetta" also adds a slight echo to his voice.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Splinter before their fight over Tang Shen.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: He knew Splinter would come to his tower to rescue April, but he had already handed her to the Kraang by the time he got there what Splinter thought was April was a hologram. He probably did that just to mess with him.]]
* YouHaveFailedMe: Consistently averted, surprisingly. In contrast to his 2003 counterpart, this version of Shredder has yet to mutilate any of his lieutenants despite the fact that they have all failed him multiple times.

[[caption-width-right:150:[[spoiler: [-Rahzar-] ]]]]
A famous martial artist and one of the Shredder's lieutenants. Becomes a mutant dog [[spoiler:and eventually the 2012 version of Rahzar in season 2.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Michelangelo, due to the events of "New Friend, Old Enemy".
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He has shades of it, especially as Dogpound.
* BadassNormal: Pre-Dogpound, he was able to hold his own against the Turtles, usually being able to fight two at once.
** BadassAbnormal: As Dogpound, he initially could take on all four them with so much as scratch on him, with typically trying from him rather than fight him.
* BadBoss: Consider who he works for, and this is a given; He is at one point seen kicking one of his own men while they're down when he's annoyed, and regularly belittles Baxter Stockman, sometimes alongside Xever. [[spoiler:[[TheDogBitesBack The latter didn't work out for him.]]]]
* BalefulPolymorph: He hates his mutation into Dog Pound. Subverted when [[spoiler: he mutates into Rahzar]].
* BarehandedBladeBlock: He can do this with just his ''fingers''.
* BeardOfEvil: As a human, though Dogpound still has his mustache.
* TheBrute: Big, bad, and brutish. He's far from DumbMuscle though.
* CoDragons: With Xever to Shredder, at least until Karai enters the scene. And notably this is after Bradford and Xever have fallen out of favor with Shredder.
* CoolHelmet: He has a Shredder-esque helmet, but he rarely wore it as human.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes.
* DemBones: [[spoiler: His transformation into Rahzar]]
* DemotedToDragon: In the second season, Karai becomes the new second-in-command and is left in charge, lowering his status to become TheBrute with Fishface.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: As Dogpound [[spoiler: and Rahzar.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His BadBoss tendencies and rivalry with Xever are demonstrated within his introduction.
* EvilCounterpart: To Michelangelo.
* EvilSoundsDeep: As Dogpound and [[spoiler: Rahzar]].
* EvilVirtues: Bradford has a few of these traits, like his loyalty to the Shredder, his sense of honor in regards to his loses, and his valor in not giving up.
* FalseFriend: When Michelangelo attempts to befriend him, he goes with it and uses the connection to attempt to learn more about the turtles.
* FemmeFatalons: [[spoiler: His nails merge with his fingers to create natural claws as Rahzar.]]
* {{Foil}}: Prefers a more pragmatic approach and is rather famous, while his partner is a street rat who likes to take a much more violent and sadistic approach. His attacks are also much more brute force-based.
* GeniusBruiser: Can be quite the ManipulativeBastard when he needs to be. Best shown when he manipulated Mikey.
* GutturalGrowler: As Dogpound, but [[spoiler: as Rahzar, he's taken on a far more growling and gravelly tone of voice compared to his previous two forms.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Wants to turn back into a human in ''Mikey Gets Shell Acne'', but changes his mind [[spoiler: upon his second mutation into Rahzar.]]
** [[spoiler: In ''The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman'' when he hears of the retromutagen, he wants it to be normal again, like Baxter. He seems to flip-flop, he likes being Rahzar better than Dogpound, but wouldn't mind being human again.]]
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Does this to a defeated Foot Ninja.
* LeanAndMean: [[spoiler: His Rahzar transformation causes him to become much skinnier]].
* LightningBruiser: He was fairly quick as a human, but lost this aspect when he became Dogpound, becoming more of a MightyGlacier, a fact he complains about in ''Mikey Gets Shellacne''. [[spoiler:He stops complaining when he mutates into the far more quick and powerful Rahzar]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Poor Mikey.
** Seems to also use his new form to manipulate The Purple Dragons into paying Shredder even more money.
** Not really manipulating, more like threatening to tear them apart if they don't give him what he wants. And are you going to argue with a giant muscled dog man?
* MightyGlacier: As Dogpound. His greater size makes him MUCH stronger, and he often NoSell attacks as opposed to dodging them, but it also too slow to dodge and his fights tended to have him mostly standing still. By the second season he's grown to detest this.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler: Ninja werewolf zombie mutant as Rahzar.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Not only does his attempted TakingYouWithMe in "The Gauntlet" disarm the Mutagen Bomb, it covers him and Xever in Mutagen, mutating them into a dog man and a fish man. It gets zigzagged though, since his mutant dog form has much more physical strength, along with increased sense of sound and smell at the cost of losing some of his speed and most of his stealth as a human ninja.
** That said, the sight of him and Xever getting mutated did distract the Shredder long enough for the turtles to get away from the Shredder as he about to kill them
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His look is based on ChuckNorris.
** He also shares his name with a martial artist who wrote the ''Young Samurai'' books.
* OutOfFocus: In the second season, even after his [[spoiler: secondary mutation into Rahzar,]] he doesn't play much of a role in the story in his appearances.
* PragmaticVillainy: While he does want to kill Michelangelo in "New Friend, Old Enemy", he says that he can't because Michelangelo is bait and will lead them right to the Turtles' lair.
* PunnyName: Mikey names him "Dogpound" as the first battle after his mutation has the Turtles "pounded by a dog" [[spoiler:and Rahzar as a "razor-faced dog"]].
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His original costume invoked it. Now his pants and eyes do.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As Dogpound.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Xever's blue.
* TheRival: To Xever
* SaltAndPepper: The salt to Xever's pepper.
* SleevesAreForWimps: As Bradford.
* TheRightHandOfDoom: Dogpound's left arm is grossly oversized. His right hand, meanwhile, seems to be completely covered in bone.
* TakingYouWithMe: Says this word-for-word to the Turtles before breaking open the Kraang's mutagen bomb. All it does is end up mutating both himself and Xever.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Subverted with Xever, as they hate each other.
** He seems to have taken a liking to Tiger Claw, come "Wrath of the Kuro Kabuto", where when they get the time to talk to each other, they discuss their reluctance to talk to each other before then due to animal traits, compliment each other's sense of smell, and agree that they ''both'' want to eat Xever, Tiger Claw due to general temptations, and Bradford "just to get him to shut up."
* TookALevelInBadass: After being mutated, he gains invulnerability to the point where Leo slashes him with his katanas, and he [[BarehandedBladeBlock catches them]], and strength enough to pick up a car. Not that this stops the turtles from defeating him.
** Takes another when [[spoiler:he falls into a vat of mutagen, mutating again.]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's a martial arts superstar with a chain of dojos across the country, but he's secretly Shredder's star pupil.
* VillainousFriendship: Type 3 with the Shredder, he's loyal and devoted to him, but the Shredder cares not for Bradford.
** Seems to be developing this with Tiger Claw, showing respect for their skills and a mutual dislike of Fishface.
* WasOnceAMan: After becoming Dogpound.
!! Xever/Fishface
->Voiced by Christian Lanz.
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Xever_918.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-Xever-] ]]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fishface_4708.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-Fishface-] ]]
A street punk who shares his knowledge of the New York underworld with The Foot. He used to just be a thief, but one day got caught stealing a BriefcaseFullOfMoney, that happened to belong to the Shredder, and luckily for him, the Shredder was impressed enough with skills to take him as a subordinate. Becomes a mutant fish.
* AfroAsskicker: While he was human.
* ArchEnemy: Seems to be Raphael's, since when the Turtles and the Foot clash, they usually fight each other.
* ArtificialLimbs: The reason why Baxter was taken by the Foot is because the Shredder needs him to give Fishface both artificial legs and what appears to be a scuba tank that pumps water into Xever's gills.
* AttackTheTail: Splinter beats him in [[spoiler: "Showdown"]] by tricking him into biting his own tail.
* AxCrazy: The most obvious case out of Shredder's henchmen.
* BadassBiker: He drives a fearsome-looking chopper in "Pulverizer Returns!"
* BadassNormal: Pre Fishface he was still able to hold his own against the turtles.
** BadassAbnormal: As Fishface, once he got his robotic legs, he started to fight all four them, and win.
* BadBoss: One of the few things he shares in common with his partner is his disregard for his henchmen and Baxter. [[spoiler:As with Bradford, [[TheDogBitesBack he never anticipated the possibility that Baxter would go for revenge]].]]
* BilingualBonus: He calls someone "Idiota" at one point.
* BlessedWithSuck: As a fish he needs water to breath, and he has no legs.
* ButterflyKnife: He shows off with one in his first appearance.
* CardCarryingVillain: He makes no attempts to hide how little he cares for others or how dangerous he is.
* TheCasanova: Implied by his yearnings for a lover in season two.
* CoDragons: With Chris to [[BigBad the Shredder]], at least until Karai enters the picture. Notably this is also after Xever and Bradford have fallen out of favor with the Shredder.
* CursedWithAwesome: He can inject venom into his opponents by biting them.
* DanceBattler: And surprisingly, it sticks after he gets new legs in his mutated form.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes.
* DualWielding: Sometimes with switchblades.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: As Fishface.
* EvilCounterpart: Possesses a preference for violence as well as a somewhat bad temper, much like Raphael, the character he usually tends to fight, and thus could be considered the logical extension of his personality if he were raised by someone like the Shredder. These similarities are [[NotSoDifferent called upon]] in "Baxter's Gambit", where a discussion as they're [[EnemyMine working together]] leads the two to conclude that they are "of a kind".
* {{Expy}}: Of Hun from the [[TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2003 cartoon]] both having connections to street gangs specifically the Purple Dragons. The only difference is Hun is the leader of the Purple Dragons while Xever is merely an associate. There's also the fact that Xever and Hun were both mutated into animals. The animal mutation would also make Xever and Bradford expies of Bebop and Rocksteady.
* ExtremityExtremist: He attacks mostly with his legs.
* FishPeople: After getting doused in Mutagen.
* {{Foil}}: Prefers violent behavior and he's just a street rat, rather than his partner, the famous and pragmatic Chris Bradford. His fighting style is also much more fast-paced and quick.
* FreudianExcuse: Downplayed. In "Baxter's Gambit", he talks about his life as a street rat and how he had to become a thief in order to survive in the world, but he himself makes it abundantly clear that he ''likes'' to do terrible things.
* {{Jerkass}}: Mikey explicitly calls him a jerk when he's in the process of [[KickTheDog kicking the dog]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Downplayed, with his robotic legs and breathing apparatus, Xever is comfortable with his mutation, at least moreso than Bradford is, but when he thinks Stockman can change them back, he jumps on the chance.
* KnifeNut: His Butterfly knives are his WeaponOfChoice before his transformation.
* KnightOfCerebus: A minor one, he doesn't drain all of the comedy from a scene but his sociopathic tendencies are ''not'' PlayedForLaughs and he makes the Turtles question their sense of ethics in a case of HeWhoFightsMonsters in the first episode where he takes center stage.
* LackOfEmpathy: And it provides a major ethical dilemma for the Turtles.
* NameFaceName: Fishface.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Sounds like "sever", and he uses knives.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His look is based on JimKelly.
* NotSoDifferent: See the "Evil Counterpart" entry above. He and Raph admit they're this in "Baxter's Gambit".
* ObviouslyEvil: He doesn't hide his nature from anyone and has no problems telling people about how he sent to prison, before Shredder broke him out.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Says it to Raphael [[spoiler: when he saves Raph from one of Stockman's traps.]]
* OutOfFocus: Was sidelined for several episodes after becoming Fishface, not doing much of anything until being upgraded. Shredder even mentioned that he was barely worth keeping around. This also hits him in the second season as he's only made two appearances by the middle of the season, not really contributing much to the plot.
* PsychoForHire: He says so to Raph:
-->'''Raphael''': "So, you do all this because you owe Shredder?"\\
'''Xever''': "Eh, mostly I like having a job where I get to crack skulls every day."\\
'''Raphael''': "[[NotSoDifferent Okay, I can relate to that]]."
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Bradford's red.
* TheRival: To Bradford
* SaltAndPepper: The pepper to Bradford's salt.
* ScaryBlackMan: Though not as dark as other examples, so he may be Black Hispanic or Brazilian instead.
* SlasherSmile: He often has one of these as a human, though since he is unhappy with his transformation Fishface doesn't smile as much.
* TheSociopath: Has no regard for any form of life whatsoever, is completely morally [[TheUnfettered unfettered]], and displays many other sociopathic traits. "Baxter's Gambit" however does show a slightly softer side of him in his interaction with Raphael.
* TheUnfettered: Described as such by Raph.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Subverted with Bradford, as they hate each other.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once Baxter finishes his new legs and breathing tool, he quickly shows in "The Pulverizer" that his new legs are even ''more'' versatile than his original ones, and on top of that, he has venomous teeth.
* VillainDecay: He's mostly relegated to a comedic role in Season 2, where he's slapped around by the Shredder to make a point, demonstrates more submissive behavior in regards to Tiger Claw (though this may be a skill difference and instincts taking prominence), that jar with his general control of the situations he was in in Season 1.
* VillainousFriendship: A Downplayed Type 4 with the Shredder. Like Bradford, the Shredder doesn't really care for him, but finds him useful enough to spring from jail and even commissions robot legs for him to stay in the fight. Unlike Bradford, Xever isn't necessarily loyal to the Shredder, mostly just in it for the thrills.
* WasOnceAMan: After turning into Fishface.
!! Baxter Stockman
->Voiced by Creator/PhilLaMarr
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TMNT_004_326.png]]
A scientist who decided to take revenge on all those who ever mocked him, going power mad in the process. After two solo outings, he was forcibly recruited by the Shredder.
* AccidentalMisnaming: People [[RunningGag will frequently]] get his name wrong every appearance after "I Think His Name Is Baxter Stockman". Even ''he'' got his own name wrong at one point.
* AfroAsskicker: When in the more dangerous version of his PoweredArmor.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: His head was left exposed after the Stockman-Pod upgraded into a HumongousMecha.
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:In "The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman", he only wishes to become human again, either via Donatello's Retro Mutagen, or more horrific means such as dipping a human in Mutagen and then going in himself, the results of which probably wouldn't even work.]]
* BigCreepyCrawlies: As Baxter The Fly
* BlackAndNerdy: He is black and is a nerdy scientist.
* BodyHorror: as Baxter the Fly
* ButtMonkey: Got this a lot back when he worked at TCRI, and it doesn't get better when he meets the turtles.
* CallBack: He uses Mousers like his other counterparts and [[spoiler:will become a mutant like his 1987 counterpart.]]
* CardCarryingVillain: Doesn't seem to deny that he's this trope, when Michelangelo asks why he's a villain.
* CompositeCharacter: Appears to be loosely based on the comics version in ethnicity, but his design borrows aspects of the version seen in the 1987 show (hairstyle, physique). [[spoiler: As of "The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman", he has become a mutant fly, another trait of his 1987 incarnation.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After being picked on for almost every episode by the Turtles and threatened by his higher-ups, he decides to take payback in "Baxter's Gambit".]]
* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: To the point that everyone could see it coming from a mile away.
* EvilCounterpart: He loves technology, [[NotSoHarmless can be quite dangerous]] even though he's [[ButtMonkey mocked and sometimes even underestimated by his coworkers]], likes wearing purple and is kind of a dork, much like Donatello.
* EvilGenius: His role when working for the Shredder or when trying to use it to be a solo villain.
* EvilIsHammy: Nowhere near as much as his 2003 counterpart, but he still has his moments.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Played with. While he's a bad guy who wears glasses, he lacks the cold-blooded sociopathic nature that generally comes with this trope.
* LaughablyEvil: His dorky demeanor and tendency to get angry over the Turtles insulting him made him quite entertaining. [[spoiler: He loses this trait after he becomes a fly mutant, however.]]
* MadScientist: Both in the sense of being angry at the world and not being very sane.
* NerdGlasses: Going with his nerdy portrayal in the series.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain[=/=]IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He treads the line between these two, the latter to the extent that Mikey actually suggests that they get him some ice cream rather than kick his butt.
* PoweredArmor: He had one in his first appearance. It was initially kind of crappy, but was upgraded by the T-Pod.
* RobotMaster: He uses machines to win his fights often, ranging from his powered suit to the mousers.
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:After his mutation into a fly in "The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman", he's become far less trusting and crazy thanks to it.]]
* SlasherSmile: When he uses the T-pod to upgrade his armor, he tries this, but it turns out too pleasant and goofy. He improves it in "Baxter's Gambit."
* StrawLoser: As part of being a villainous nerd, his pathetic nature almost makes him pitiable despite his clearly evil intentions.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: After [[spoiler:mutating into a fly]], he has started to constantly eat candy bars.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Once he mutates into a fly, he dismantles a Foot Bot and subdues Rahzaar long enough to escape temporarily. He also proves to a more difficult opponent for the turtles without any technological aid]].
* UsedToBeASweetKid: "Baxter's Gambit" has him talk about his backstory, and he states that he used to be a nice kid. [[UnreliableNarrator It's not easy to guess if he's telling the truth or not.]]
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler: Gets turned into a fly mutant in ''The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman'']]
* WhosLaughingNow: His motivation, though he hasn't been very good at his revenge schemes so far.
!! Oroku Karai[[spoiler:/Hamato Miwa]]
-> Voiced by KellyHu
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Karai_3089.png]]
The Shredder's [[DaddysLittleVillain daughter]] who takes over as TheDragon after Bradford and Xever fall out of favor with Shredder. [[DatingCatwoman Leonardo develops feelings for her]] [[HeelFaceTurn and desires to see her become good.]]
* AbusiveParents: Implied. She gets scared after making the Shredder angry with a comment, and he outright threatens to hurt her if she doesn't follow his orders.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Played with. While she still displays some shades of AmbiguouslyEvil and isn't as bad as her 2003 counterpart after JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, she doesn't really share the NobleDemon shades of her comic counterpart or her 2003 counterpart pre JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, and is much more mischievous than both.
* AffablyEvil[=/=]FauxAffablyEvil: Friendly and sociable to the turtles but still very much a bad girl. [[spoiler: Following their betraying her trust, she develops a full-blown hatred of them.]] In "Karai's Vendetta," her normally sociable and easygoing personality here only serve to highlight the sadistic pleasure she takes in hunting April.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: [[spoiler: Especially in "Karai's Vendetta"]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Subverted in "Alien Agenda", where the "ambiguous" part disappears. Played straight again in "Enemy of my Enemy" though, and the end of "Karai's Vendetta".
* AntagonisticOffspring: [[spoiler: Shredder revealed to Splinter that after their fight, Shredder took Miwa away and changed her name to Karai. However, Shredder told her a different story, reversing his and Splinter's positions, so Karai doesn't realize she's this.]]
* AntiVillain: Subverted, [[spoiler: then later played straight: something of a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds example (she's only evil due to circumstances she couldn't control when she was a baby) with shades of NobleDemon (Though as noted below, she's kinda erratic on that.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Leonardo as of "Enemy Of My Enemy" and April as of "Karai's Vendetta".
* BadassBiker: In her street clothes and due to having a motorcycle that she drives in "Enemy of my Enemy" and "Karai's Vendetta".
* BadassNormal: She has no special powers beyond her training and no transformations or robotics to enhance her in any way.
* TheBaroness: Sexpot variety.
* BigRedButton: Apparently cannot resist the urge to press them, as seen in "Alien Agenda".
* BoyishShortHair[=/=]DelinquentHair: Well she very tomboyish and her short two tone hair goes well with her bad reputation, which she is very proud of.
* CardCarryingVillain
-->'''Raph''': She's ''bad news''!
-->'''Leo''': No, she's not!
-->'''Karai''': Yeah, I am.
* {{Chickification}}: At the end of her HeelFaceTurn episode she's kidnapped by TheDragon and imprisoned by the BigBad, promptly becoming a DamselInDistress.
* CleopatraNose: Of the most prominent of the human cast, and she is still seen as rather good looking.
* CoolBike: Uses one in both "Enemy of my Enemy" and "Karai's Vendetta"
* CoolHelmet: A Motorcycle helmet for the aforementioned CoolBike.
* TheCorrupter: Tries to be this to Leo. He in turn, [[HighHeelFaceTurn tries to get her to become good.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Her fight with April is her giving one of these to her...[[spoiler: until April gets her to let her guard down by mentioning her MissingMom.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Shredder is her father. [[spoiler: Except not really.]]
* DarkActionGirl: She's been able to hold her own against any of the turtles, and has no trouble at all with the Kraang-droids.
* DarkIsEvil: She primarily wears dark colors and makes no secret about how dangerous she is to the turtles.
* DatingCatwoman: In only one episode, she and Leo connected pretty well. Subverted later in "Alien Agenda" when she betrays Leo and he gives up on her. Shades of this pop up again in "Enemy of my Enemy"...[[spoiler: only to end up coming apart at the seams again.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Compared to her previous incarnations, this version of Karai is much more snarky and less serious, willing to snark even in front of her father.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Starting with season 2.
* EnemyMine: Briefly with the Turtles against the Kraang, but then subverted [[KickTheDog when she takes a broken droid and abandons the Turtles to fight the mutant monster she created.]]
** She does this again in the aptly-titled "Enemy of my Enemy", where she actively seeks out the alliance after learning of the danger of the Kraang. [[spoiler: Once again, it doesn't last, but this time, it's the turtles' fault rather than her own.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Her father, Shredder. [[spoiler: And despite never having met her, her mother.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When the turtles betray her trust in "Enemy of My Enemy," she is unsurprisingly disgusted with them for doing so, though she has [[{{Hypocrite}} little room to talk]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Leonardo, both are the best students of their masters.
* EvilVersusEvil: Briefly against the Kraang.
* FacialMarkings: Are they makeup or tattoos? Who knows.
* ForTheEvulz:
-->'''Leo''': Karai, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre you don't have to do this.]]\\
'''Karai''': I know. That's what makes it ''fun''!
* FriendlyEnemy: To the turtles, at least on her end. [[spoiler: The "friendly" part was cut for a while, though she seems to be rekindling with them after discover that they're practically her brothers.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Signs of it towards April in "Karai's Vendetta" when she angrily demands to know what makes April so special as she's [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown pounding her into the dirt]].
* [[spoiler: HighHeelFaceTurn]]: [[spoiler: The only female villain on the Foot and she finally sides with the Turtles for real after learning that Splinter was her true father all along.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Feigned believing that Splinter was her true father to get the turtles to bring her back to their lair. It actually hit when she saw Splinter had a copy of the full picture of Tang Shen and Yoshi, of which she had only ever had the Tang Shen half.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Her street clothes.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: [[spoiler: Her actions and expressions during the coda of "The Alien Agenda" indicate she has reasons all her own to make sure the Foot Clan get advanced technology.]]
* ItAmusedMe: Her explanation for not killing Leo, and probably anything else she does. [[spoiler: Shredder's private conversation with his daughter implies he believes that might not be the ''only'' reason, though.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: She's not in the best position to criticize the Turtles for betraying her when she had earlier done the exact same thing and showed absolutely no remorse doing so. That said though, it's equally telling that the Turtles gave ''her'' grief for betraying them yet later betrayed her in turn.]]
** In season one, she remarked that Shredder was "obsessed with revenge". In season two, she becomes bent on taking revenge against Splinter, even disobeying Shredder's orders to do so.
** She stops Shredder from killing a weakened Splinter by claiming it would be dishonorable, except she was the one who fired the tranquilizer dart at him in the first place while he was fighting off Tiger Claw.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Seems this way at the end of "Alien Agenda". Later appearances subvert this and show that she really does have good qualities and that it's just (literally) difficult for her to express them due to her LackOfEmpathy.
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: While it is true that the Shredder is the turtles' enemy, in choosing to try and take him out they show that this is more important than their alliance with Karai, which was the source of Karai's disappointment. She thought the turtles, in particular Leo, was better than that and was willing to work with her against a common enemy and is right to say that Leo was the one who betrayed her this time, not the other way around.]]
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope[=/=]TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:Starting in "Karai's Vendetta", where following her coming to hate the Turtles fully goes from an AffablyEvil FriendlyEnemy to a sadistic and FauxAffablyEvil seeker of vengeance. It only got worse when Splinter became involved....]]
* KickTheDog: She abandons the turtles to fight an EldritchAbomination she created, which causes Leo to give up on her...until the next time they met, anyway.
** [[spoiler: While her rage against Splinter is understandable and even pitable since it's a huge lie Shredder has fed her all her life, she certainly doesn't come off too well trying to kill the Turtles or April just to personally hurt him.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: As stated above, she abandons the Turtles even though the EldritchAbomination attacking them was her own fault, and when Leo points out that he trusted her, she mocks him. Then again, she was raised by a full-fledged sociopath, so it isn't very surprising.
* LaserGuidedTykeBomb: [[spoiler:Shredder's more or less made her his pawn in his revenge against Splinter.]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: A variation. While Karai was always a villain, her hurt at Leonardo's betraying her trust in him prompts her to go from a FriendlyEnemy with a DatingCatwoman type relationship with Leo to a hateful ArchEnemy]]
* MakeUpIsEvil: She has red lipstick and heavy eyeshadow.
* MasterSwordsman: She appears to be as good as Leo, if not better.
* MeaningfulName: Karai means "Weapon". [[spoiler: Which is more or less what Shredder is using her as; a means to hurt Splinter, as she's actually his daughter.]]
* MissingMom: Mentioned in "Karai's Vendetta", [[spoiler: which is later revealed to be Tang Shen. Turns out she was told by Shredder that Splinter killed her, when it was in fact the other way around.]]
* MoralMyopia: She called the turtles out for betraying her even though she betrayed them first.
* MulticoloredHair: Her hair in the front is black/dark brown while the roots in the back are blonde. [[spoiler: Although flashback stills as a baby showed her with much lighter hair than her parents.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Says this after alerting Tiger Claw to the location of the lair. (Without the "My God" part.) When she realizes that Hamato Yoshi is indeed her real father]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: She accidentally creates [[EldritchAbomination Justin]]. Leo even points out it's her fault, [[LackOfEmpathy but she doesn't care.]]
* NobleDemon: Zigzags on this like all hell. She may occasionally show signs of honor and compassion, but this is interspersed with trying to kill the guys [[SinsOfTheFather for Splinter's (alleged) crimes]] and [[StuffedInTheFridge April just to hurt the guys]].
* NotSoDifferent: She and Leo get into this, as do she and April.
* OnlySaneMan: Unlike the Shredder, she understands thwarting the Krang's alien invasion of Earth should probably take priority over revenge on the turtles.
** Also counts as PragmaticVillainy.
* PetTheDog: Is actually willing to help with no strings attached in "Enemy Of My Enemy", and shares a moment of empathy with April in "Karai's Vendetta" that allows April to escape her.
* PluckyGirl[=/=]SpiritedYoungLady: Villainous example of both.
* PragmaticVillainy: In "Alien Agenda" in contrast to [[RevengeBeforeReason Shredder]].
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Her reflection appears in Shredder's mask in the new season 2 opening.
* PsychoticSmirk: She makes one at the end of "Alien Agenda".
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Save for a part of the former that's [[BlondesAreEvil dyed blonde]]
* RealNameAsAnAlias: She goes undercover using the name Harmony. However, "Karai" does not mean "harmony." [[spoiler:"Miwa"]], however, does.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Against the Turtles as of "The Enemy of My Enemy"]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Karai''': Our deal's off! You want a feud? [[ArchEnemy You've got one!]]]]
* RousseauWasRight: Cruelly subverted. Her abandoning the turtles to a monster she created causes Leo to give up on her.
** Double subverted in "Enemy of my Enemy" where she actively seeks out an alliance with the Turtles, reigniting Leo's hope that there's goodness in her.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids
-->'''Leo''': I trusted you!
-->'''Karai''': [[LackOfEmpathy I know!]] [[LampshadedTrope That's messed up, right?]]
** [[spoiler: This gets turned on its head later:]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Karai''': I thought you were my [[FriendlyEnemy friend!]] [[DramaticIrony How could you betray me!?]]]]
* SpikesOfVillainy: Downplayed. There's a few small ones one her armor. Her street clothes feature a jacket that has a ton of these.
* StealthHiBye: To Leonardo in "New Girl In Town"
* TomboyishSidetails: So far she is definitely the most tomboyish girl in the show.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: [[TragicVillain Her entire LIFE]].]]
* WomanInBlack: Most of the time.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Leo tried to make her realize this early on, but so far, he [[IgnoredEpiphany hasn't gotten through]].
* YouKilledMyFather: She believes that Splinter killed her mother. [[spoiler: Except it's all a lie, and Splinter is her biological father.]]
* YoungerAndHipper: Like April, she's been aged down to 16 years old.
!! Tiger Claw
-->Voiced by Creator/EricBauza
The most feared assassin in all of Asia, the Shredder has recently hired him to help him in his fight against the Hamato Clan.
* BountyHunter
* Determinator: Manages to cut his way out of the Kraathatrogon, defeats the 80's Turtles, and jumps through dimensions, defeating every enemy in his way, including a whole army of Kraang, all to return and have his revenge.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He makes his respect for the Shredder and disdain for the Foot Clan apparent very quickly, and when Karai is about to attack Tiger Claw, he pulls a gun on her without skipping a beat.
* {{Expy}}: Of Boba Fett from StarWars, especially with the ShoutOut of the Boba's defeat by jetpack and Sarlacc.
* EyepatchOfPower: [[spoiler:His appearance in the toyline shows him with an eyepatch.]]
** Confirmed in his return.
* FreezeRay: One of his weapons that he employs in combat, presumably to assist in capturing opponents alive.
* JerkAss: He doesn't seem to particularly care about Shredder's clan, and makes that thought known when Karai talks badly of him.
* {{Jetpack}}: He has one that allows him to obtain an aerial advantage.
%% * PantheraAwesome
* ProfessionalKiller: Described as "Asia's deadliest assassin" at one point.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: He appears in the opening in his first appearance, "The Manhattan Project". [[spoiler:Which makes his supposed death by Kraathatrogon highly suspect.]]
** And returns after an OffScreenMomentOfAwesome.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Has a nice-looking blue scarf.
* SwordAndGun: His primary weapons.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He was villainous but still honorable. Upon his return, his honorable side is no more and he's just now filled with rage and focused solely on revenge.
* VillainousFriendship: Has a mutual sense of respect for Bradford.
!! Fong, Tsoi, and Sid
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fong_4961.png]]

[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sid_7288.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-Sid-] ]]
A trio of thugs who make up the Purple Dragons, a street gang roped into working for the Shredder by Xever. Fong and Sid are both voiced by Andrew Kishino, while Tsoi is portrayed by James Sie.
* AbandonedWarehouse: Their headquarters is an empty fortune cookie factory.
* AllThereInTheScript: Only Fong's name has been mentioned on-screen. Tsoi and Sid's names appear in the episode credits.
* BadassCrew[=/=]BadassNormal: Subverted. They're weaker than the Foot Ninjas and are treated as CannonFodder by the turtles. They are in running for the turtles' least threatening adversaries.
* BadassMustache: Tsoi.
* TheBrute: Sid.
* TheCameo: In the season 1 finale
* DartboardOfHate: A picture of an actual turtle, with a red ninja mask scrawled on it.
* DropTheHammer: Tsoi.
* GangBangers: They are the gang "The Purple Dragons".
* GoldfishPoopGang: While they do show up rather often they aren't ever seen as much of a threat.
* {{Jerkass}}: All of them
* KnifeNut: Fong.
* LeanAndMean: Fong is extremely gaunt.
* {{Mooks}}: They are weaker than Foot Ninjas, and thus make better cannon fodder.
* OddlySmallOrganization: We have never seen that many Purple Dragons despite being a prominent street gang.
* OutOfFocus: After Xever got mutated, they started to appear less and less, until eventually making an unvoiced cameo in the season 1 finale. They finally reappeared in the season 2 episode "The Good, The Bad, and the Casey Jones".
* RousseauWasRight: [[spoiler: When it look like Xever, Bradford and the Foot Ninjas have the turtles beat, Fong tosses Leo (who had let him go earlier) his sword, [[TheDogBitesBack though it was possible he did it to get back at Xever for knocking him around]]]].
* ShameIfSomethingHappened: They're introduced trying to extort Murakami, and a later episode reveals they have to pay tribute to the Shredder, presumably for the "priviledge" of operating under his name.
* {{Tattooed Crook}}s: Like most stereotypical gang members.
* TerribleTrio: Subverted. They're a trio of bad guys, but they lack the needed individuality that comes with this trope, all having more or less the same personality.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: They all appear to be Chinese.
!! The Foot Ninjas
[[quoteright:145:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foot-w145-h275_7914.png]]
The openly acknowledged CannonFodder of the Foot Clan.
* AdaptiveAbility: Season 2 introduces us to [[MythologyGag robot Foot Ninja]], who catch on to a person's attack pattern as a fight goes on.
* AdaptationalBadass: The robot Foot Ninja seem to be far more dangerous and powerful here due to their AdaptiveAbility, whereas they were just CannonFodder in the 1987 series.
* BadassArmy[=/=]BadassNormal: Subverted.
* CannonFodder[=/=]{{Mooks}}
* CoolMask: With almost bug-like eyes, like most incarnations of the foot.
* DarkIsEvil: Mostly black, fitting their role as stereotypical ninjas.
* TheFaceless: Since they are never seen unmasked, and the robotic foot wouldn't have a face aside from their "masks" any way.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: And lampshaded by the turtles in "Pulverizer Returns". Justified because it turns out that most of them are not properly trained ninjas but rather just anyone the Foot Clan can find and recruit.
* {{Kiai}}: Robot Foot Ninja constantly shriek in small bursts.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: As mentioned they are malevolent and are never seen without wearing their masks.
* MechaMooks: In Season 2
* {{Ninja}}: Duh.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Their primary color scheme.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The lenses on their masks are red.
* ReplacementMooks: Season 2 replaces the human mooks with robots who are far more powerful than the previous ones.
* TheVoiceless: Aside from the robotic foot's monkey-like shrieks.
!!Chromedome
[[quoteright:145:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chromedome-w145-h275_6523.png]]
An upgraded robotic foot ninja created using Chris Bradford's armor, first sent out to hunt down April. The 2012 version of Chromedome.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Created for Karai to destroy April, but the Kraang put in an override program to capture her instead. It later malfunctions, and starts trying to destroy everyone in sight instead.
* {{Badass}}: It gives the team a hell of a fight.
* EnergyWeapon: [[WhipItGood Whips]], [[FightingWithChucks chucks]], and [[LaserBlade swords]].
* EyeBeams: Uses these to bisect the [[DeadlyDisc manhole covers]] shot at it by the Shellraiser.
* {{Flight}}: Via RocketBoots.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Defeated when Mikey impaled it with its own LaserBlade.
* KingMook: Far more advanced than the Foot Boots, and based on Bradford's old armor instead of the standard Foot uniforms.
* MythologyGag: Named after Chromedome from the 1980s series
* PaletteSwap: It's pretty clearly the human Bradford in his ninja garb, but with some minor alterations in color and proportion.
* RobotMe: Of Bradford, pre mutation.

!! As a whole
* TheTeam: Classic FiveBadBand during Season 1
** BigBad: Shredder
** TheDragon: Dogpound/Chris Bradford, who is later demoted to TheBrute and one of ThoseTwoGuys.
** TheBrute: Fishface/Xever, later joined by Dogpound/[[spoiler:Rahzar]].

** DarkChick: Karai - who later replaces Dogpound as TheDragon.
** The Dark SixthRanger: Tigerclaw, who functions as a second Dragon, [[spoiler: and then primary dragon after Karai's defection]]

** {{Mooks}}: Foot Soldiers.
** TeamPet: Hachiko (Shredder's dog).
* EvilCounterpart: To Hamato Yoshi's clan (The Turtles and Splinter)
** Shredder to Splinter: The BigBad and BigGood behind the scenes that judge the outcome of missions. Dogpound also compares them as being equal in skill but having totally different values in the Season 1 Finale. They were formerly best friends.
** Bradford to Leonardo: Initially TheLeader on the field and the master's most trusted disciple
*** Dogpound to Michelangelo: ButtMonkey to the team though Dogpound is unintentional and Mikey mostly embraces it. They also used to be 'Facebook' friends.
** Xever/Fishface to Raphael: The [[TheLancer leader's]] [[TheDragon foil]] and [[TheBigGuy most aggressive]] [[TheBrute fighter]]. The even acknowledge it when forced to work together.

** Karai to April: Share a [[DaddysLittleVillain father]] [[ReplacementGoldfish daughter]] relationship to the master, and deeply mourn the loss of their mother. While April is a WeirdnessMagnet, Karai initially [[IJustWantToBeSpecial just wants to be special]] prompting several {{Designated Girl Fight}}s despite their obvious gap in skill.
*** Karai to Leonardo: The new Leader on the field, have the closest relationship with the master and are the most skilled. They both wanted some sort of truce between the two clans at one point, but after having to defend their families from each other they develop a personal feud on top of the family one.
** Chromedome to Metalhead: similar names aside both are as krang tech based MadeOfIron mechs.
!! The Shredder/Oroku Saki
->Voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TMNT_021_31.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-"Your skills are impressive. But they will '''not''' save you."-] ]]
-> ''"There is undoubtedly a fascinating story behind how my old nemesis came to teach ninjitsu to four mutant turtles. Perhaps I will let one of you live long enough to tell it."''
Once the best friend of Hamato Yoshi, jealousy over Yoshi's marriage to Tang Shen, who they both loved, prompted him to turn to the dark side, and attempt to kill Yoshi. A fire that broke out during the battle disfigured Saki, and seemingly killed both Shen and her and Yoshi's daughter. Subsequently becoming the head of the Foot Clan, Saki moved to New York to hunt down and kill his old nemesis after seeing a news broadcast that implied that Yoshi is still alive.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: He cuts through parts of a building sign like butter.
* AbusiveParents: Implied towards Karai, especially since he threatened to hurt her if she didn't obey him. [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes She still loves him though.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Splinter and the entire Hamato Clan. Anything he does is aimed at either killing Splinter, or making him suffer.
* {{Badass}}: He's a very formidable combatant, as seen in "The Gauntlet".
** BadassBaritone: He's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. What did you expect?
** BadassCape: Though he [[TheCoatsAreOff sheds it]] when he fights the Turtles.
** BadassNormal: He appears to be a normal human, despite his extreme strength, speed and ferocity. And he's proven more dangerous than mutants and aliens the size of cars.
** BadassInANiceSuit: In Xever's flashback explaining his StartOfDarkness, Shredder, in silhouette, appears to be wearing a rather nice suit.
** HandicappedBadass: He's clearly blind in his right eye, and it doesn't make him any less formidable or scary.
* BadBoss: He makes it a clear point that he would not hesitate to mutilate his lieutenants if they disappointed him. He threatens to harm Karai in the same way if she doesn't eliminate Leonardo the next time they meet. Keep in mind that Karai's his daughter.
** In the episode "Pulverizer Returns!", he's gathering mutagen to use on his minions. If you're lucky, mutagen turns you into [[http://images.wikia.com/tmnt/images/3/3f/Fishface_mutates.jpg this]] or [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130418202651/tmnt/images/2/21/644650_531150070257262_373557306_n.png this]]. If you're ''unlucky'', you turn into [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130512183449/tmnt/images/e/ef/Timothy_Mutagen.png this]].
** [[spoiler:"The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman" has him detonate Baxter Stockman's Mutagen collar when all he probably really needed to do was tell Baxter to make more dangerous or intimidating mutants, and he barely even hesitates when Baxter starts begging Shredder not to do it.]]
* BaldOfEvil: Judging by the end of the first episode and Xever's flashback, his hair is gone, most likely due to the burn scars he's suffered. [[spoiler: Confirmed in the Season 1 finale when Splinter knocks his helmet off]]
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: Pulled off two at the end of Season 1, where he had the Kraang lure the turtles in and stage a breakout in their prison so the turtles would rescue Kirby O'Niel, who was being controlled by a device planted by the Kraang on him, with the plan being for him to kidnap April once he was taken to the turtles' lair, since he knew Splinter would come to his building to rescue her. It worked like a charm, the only thing that came close derailing it being the Newtrilizer breaking out.]]
* BigBad: As per tradition of the ninja turtles' franchise, he seems to be this.
** BigBadEnsemble: So far sharing this with the Kraang, as both of them have served as the main recurring threats and both playing a part in the turtles' origin.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His trademark tiger-claws, which here are bigger and come in a pair as opposed to just one. He can also have a third blade pop out of his gauntlets, and ''all'' of them are retractable
* BluntYes: When Karai [[spoiler:finally learns who her real father is and demands to know if it's true]], his only response is a "Yes." completely devoid of hesitation.
* BrutalHonesty: When Karai asks him if he would punish him even if she's his daughter. He notes that she's ''especially'' the case.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Threatens a captured Kraang with it to get him to talk.
* TheComicallySerious: Rather rare, but two instances stand out in "Panic In The Sewers" and "Karai's Vendetta", respectively:
--> (Learning that Dogpound was defeated) "...They defeated you with ''go karts'', and a ''water balloon''?"
--> [[spoiler:(Upon his first time speaking to one of The Kraang) "Do they ''all'' speak like this?"]]
* CompositeCharacter: His vocals and basic design take cues from the 1987 Shredder, but the clothes have a red tint similar to the original comics, while having the combat prowess and effectiveness of the films and 2003 incarnations.
* CoolHelmet: Like follows the samurai-like kabuto/helmet style of his previous incarnations.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: At the very least, Splinter sees him this way.
* CurbStompBattle: As per Ninja Turtle tradition, his first fight with the turtles is one of these in his favor.
* DirtyCoward: Beats on Splinter after he's been weakened by a poisoned-dart.
* TheDreaded: Even so far that ''Splinter'' had a nightmare of him slaughtering the turtles.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Had this mentality concerning Tang Shen, hence why he murdered her [[GreenEyedMonster when she chose Hamato Yoshi over him.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Much of his scenes are usually threatening his men or being uninterested [[RevengeBeforeReason in anything but revenge]]. [[spoiler:"The Gauntlet" finally showcases him in a fight, and [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence the fight scene itself]] further shows his hunger for revenge as well as how brutal and quick on his feet he is.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Possibly his daughter Karai, but it's not clear. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted in the Season 1 finale where it's shown that he's just using her to get back at Hamato Yoshi]].
* EvilCounterpart: Is this to Hamato Yoshi/Splinter. Both are equally skilled combatants, and both are the leaders of their respective clans. Chris Bradford/Dogpound even remarks on their similarities to Xever/Fishface, stating that Splinter is just as skilled as Shredder, but "doesn't have the stomach to finish the fight."
* EvilFormerFriend: To Hamato Yoshi/Splinter.
* EvilIsBigger: While not LargeAndInCharge, he's still much stockier than Splinter is while being the same height as him.
* EvilIsPetty: Of the RevengeBeforeReason variety.
* EvilLaugh: Doesn't usually do it, but does it much more frequently in the finale, where [[spoiler:he states that his revenge is already complete, as he's raised Splinter's own daughter to hate him]].
** Also lets one when he sees that Splinter is a Rat
* EvilOverlord: Of "the foot" at least, it is unknown how large it is though.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is ''very'' deep this time around.
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: The aforementioned CurbStompBattle involves him kicking Raphael into an electrified sign and later dropping pieces of said sign on top of Michelangelo.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: A significant portion of his face is covered in burn scars, and his right eye is whited out.
* GreenEyedMonster: His jealousy of Hamato Yoshi for winning Tang Shen's love prompted their feud.
* IfICantHaveYou: To Tang Shen, to the extent that he burned down Splinter's house and killed her in a jealous rage.
** AccidentalMurder: Then again, according to the Turtlepedia it was implied to have been an accident.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a BadBoss and quick to berate his underlings if they fail him, even if he doesn't kill them.
* KnightOfCerebus: The episodes he's in usually make it clear that it's not going to be the same as a one-off adventure, and whenever he's in a fight scene, [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence things get really ugly]]. The fact that he's a much, ''much'' more personal enemy to the Turtles and won't settle for anything but attacking them where it hurts (such as [[spoiler:stealing Hamato Yoshi's child and raising her as his own to get his ultimate revenge on his former friend]]) earns him this status.
** To put another thing in perspective, the point when he finally got up and did something, it brought a darker shift in the show. [[spoiler: His VillainTeamUp with the Kraang also allowed them to nearly succeed in their invasion of Earth.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: A rather morose, quiet theme irregularly shows up during scenes with him, before turning rather menacing, but still quite.
* LighterAndSofter: While he shares a lot in common with his 2003 incarnation, such as his AxCrazy personality, he is far less punishing and cruel, generally letting his minions live without much of a scratch on them. Although Season 2 and certain events, such as his near-complete lack of hesitance in mutating of Baxter Stockman and [[spoiler:Karai learning who her father actually is]] are starting to change this.
* LightningBruiser: Donatello described him like this. So far only Splinter has proven as fast, or as strong as him.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: His [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited attraction to Tang Shen]] was what caused him to go from Hamato Yoshi's friend [[EvilFormerFriend to]] ArchEnemy.
* MythologyGag: When he first shows up in The Gauntlet, Donatello nervously says, "do you think that's The Shredder?" and Raphael replies, "well, it's definitely ''a'' shredder", referencing the various versions of The Shredder appearing in each of The TMNT series and original comics. WordOfGod says that The Shredder earned his title when Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were talking about a villain who used cheese graters as offensive armor. Originally he was going to be called "The Grate-Man" but Pete Laird decided on "The Shredder".
* NoSenseOfHumor: He's very serious, to say the least. This is especially evident in his interactions with [[DeadpanSnarker Karai]].
* ObviouslyEvil: Let's see deep voice, evil scars, dangerous looking costume covered in spikes, calls himself "Shredder"... Definitely a bad guy.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: What he's been for most of the first season so far with the exception of "The Gauntlet" where he takes action against the Turtles after Bradford and Xever fail him one time too many.
* PragmaticVillainy: Despite Baxter Stockman's Mousers losing them a chance at finding the turtle's lair, Shredder spares him because he has use for his talents.
* PutOnABus: During an episode in early season 2, he mentions having to do business in Japan and leaves Karai to fill in for him while he's gone, he didn't return until "The Manhattan Project"
* RedRightHand: His burned face and blind left eye.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Has shown shades of this in 'Alien Agenda'. However, after Karai gives him a working piece of Kraang technology, he changes his tune. He does this ''again'' in "Enemy of my Enemy", prompting Karai (who also lampshades his problem) to seek an alliance with the turtles. Splinter calls him out on this in the Season 1 finale, claiming if he dies, [[AndThenWhat Shredder will have nothing]].
** A major part of his character is he is so consumed by his thirst for revenge nothing else ''matters'' to him at all. [[spoiler:Not even Karai.]]
* ShouldersOfDoom: Still going with some of his older character designs.
* ShutUpKirk: Shredder's response to Splinter is that [[spoiler: after he kills him, he'll still have his daughter as a living symbol of his revenge for all her life.]]
* SpikesOfVillainy: He has plenty, going with his nickname "The Shredder".
* TookALevelInKindness: Sort of. While Shredder is still very much the BigBad and the Turtles' ArchEnemy, he's still ''way'' better here than the AxCrazy genocidal sociopath he was in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003''.
** [[spoiler: He's still an asshole though, seen in the Season 1 finale though, where it turns out that he took Hamato Yoshi's daughter and raised her to hate her biological father simply to hurt Yoshi.]]
* TwoFaced: [[spoiler: The fire that killed Tang Shen has burned roughly half of Shredder's face, as shown when Splinter knocks his helmet off]].
* VillainTeamUp: [[spoiler: It appears that he and the Kraang will be doing this against the Turtles now that they've realized how much of a problem they are to both. He does so by helping to capture April and handing her over to the Kraang.]]
* VocalEvolution: His voice is a little higher pitched in "Enemy of My Enemy", sounding slightly more like his 1987 counterpart. It's still plenty deep though. "Karai's Vendetta" also adds a slight echo to his voice.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Splinter before their fight over Tang Shen.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: He knew Splinter would come to his tower to rescue April, but he had already handed her to the Kraang by the time he got there what Splinter thought was April was a hologram. He probably did that just to mess with him.]]
* YouHaveFailedMe: Consistently averted, surprisingly. In contrast to his 2003 counterpart, this version of Shredder has yet to mutilate any of his lieutenants despite the fact that they have all failed him multiple times.

A famous martial artist and one of the Shredder's lieutenants. Becomes a mutant dog [[spoiler:and eventually the 2012 version of Rahzar in season 2.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Michelangelo, due to the events of "New Friend, Old Enemy".
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He has shades of it, especially as Dogpound.
* BadassNormal: Pre-Dogpound, he was able to hold his own against the Turtles, usually being able to fight two at once.
** BadassAbnormal: As Dogpound, he initially could take on all four them with so much as scratch on him, with typically trying from him rather than fight him.
* BadBoss: Consider who he works for, and this is a given; He is at one point seen kicking one of his own men while they're down when he's annoyed, and regularly belittles Baxter Stockman, sometimes alongside Xever. [[spoiler:[[TheDogBitesBack The latter didn't work out for him.]]]]
* BalefulPolymorph: He hates his mutation into Dog Pound. Subverted when [[spoiler: he mutates into Rahzar]].
* BarehandedBladeBlock: He can do this with just his ''fingers''.
* BeardOfEvil: As a human, though Dogpound still has his mustache.
* TheBrute: Big, bad, and brutish. He's far from DumbMuscle though.
* CoDragons: With Xever to Shredder, at least until Karai enters the scene. And notably this is after Bradford and Xever have fallen out of favor with Shredder.
* CoolHelmet: He has a Shredder-esque helmet, but he rarely wore it as human.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes.
* DemBones: [[spoiler: His transformation into Rahzar]]
* DemotedToDragon: In the second season, Karai becomes the new second-in-command and is left in charge, lowering his status to become TheBrute with Fishface.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: As Dogpound [[spoiler: and Rahzar.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His BadBoss tendencies and rivalry with Xever are demonstrated within his introduction.
* EvilCounterpart: To Michelangelo.
* EvilSoundsDeep: As Dogpound and [[spoiler: Rahzar]].
* EvilVirtues: Bradford has a few of these traits, like his loyalty to the Shredder, his sense of honor in regards to his loses, and his valor in not giving up.
* FalseFriend: When Michelangelo attempts to befriend him, he goes with it and uses the connection to attempt to learn more about the turtles.
* FemmeFatalons: [[spoiler: His nails merge with his fingers to create natural claws as Rahzar.]]
* {{Foil}}: Prefers a more pragmatic approach and is rather famous, while his partner is a street rat who likes to take a much more violent and sadistic approach. His attacks are also much more brute force-based.
* GeniusBruiser: Can be quite the ManipulativeBastard when he needs to be. Best shown when he manipulated Mikey.
* GutturalGrowler: As Dogpound, but [[spoiler: as Rahzar, he's taken on a far more growling and gravelly tone of voice compared to his previous two forms.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Wants to turn back into a human in ''Mikey Gets Shell Acne'', but changes his mind [[spoiler: upon his second mutation into Rahzar.]]
** [[spoiler: In ''The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman'' when he hears of the retromutagen, he wants it to be normal again, like Baxter. He seems to flip-flop, he likes being Rahzar better than Dogpound, but wouldn't mind being human again.]]
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Does this to a defeated Foot Ninja.
* LeanAndMean: [[spoiler: His Rahzar transformation causes him to become much skinnier]].
* LightningBruiser: He was fairly quick as a human, but lost this aspect when he became Dogpound, becoming more of a MightyGlacier, a fact he complains about in ''Mikey Gets Shellacne''. [[spoiler:He stops complaining when he mutates into the far more quick and powerful Rahzar]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Poor Mikey.
** Seems to also use his new form to manipulate The Purple Dragons into paying Shredder even more money.
** Not really manipulating, more like threatening to tear them apart if they don't give him what he wants. And are you going to argue with a giant muscled dog man?
* MightyGlacier: As Dogpound. His greater size makes him MUCH stronger, and he often NoSell attacks as opposed to dodging them, but it also too slow to dodge and his fights tended to have him mostly standing still. By the second season he's grown to detest this.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler: Ninja werewolf zombie mutant as Rahzar.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Not only does his attempted TakingYouWithMe in "The Gauntlet" disarm the Mutagen Bomb, it covers him and Xever in Mutagen, mutating them into a dog man and a fish man. It gets zigzagged though, since his mutant dog form has much more physical strength, along with increased sense of sound and smell at the cost of losing some of his speed and most of his stealth as a human ninja.
** That said, the sight of him and Xever getting mutated did distract the Shredder long enough for the turtles to get away from the Shredder as he about to kill them
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His look is based on ChuckNorris.
** He also shares his name with a martial artist who wrote the ''Young Samurai'' books.
* OutOfFocus: In the second season, even after his [[spoiler: secondary mutation into Rahzar,]] he doesn't play much of a role in the story in his appearances.
* PragmaticVillainy: While he does want to kill Michelangelo in "New Friend, Old Enemy", he says that he can't because Michelangelo is bait and will lead them right to the Turtles' lair.
* PunnyName: Mikey names him "Dogpound" as the first battle after his mutation has the Turtles "pounded by a dog" [[spoiler:and Rahzar as a "razor-faced dog"]].
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His original costume invoked it. Now his pants and eyes do.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As Dogpound.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Xever's blue.
* TheRival: To Xever
* SaltAndPepper: The salt to Xever's pepper.
* SleevesAreForWimps: As Bradford.
* TheRightHandOfDoom: Dogpound's left arm is grossly oversized. His right hand, meanwhile, seems to be completely covered in bone.
* TakingYouWithMe: Says this word-for-word to the Turtles before breaking open the Kraang's mutagen bomb. All it does is end up mutating both himself and Xever.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Subverted with Xever, as they hate each other.
** He seems to have taken a liking to Tiger Claw, come "Wrath of the Kuro Kabuto", where when they get the time to talk to each other, they discuss their reluctance to talk to each other before then due to animal traits, compliment each other's sense of smell, and agree that they ''both'' want to eat Xever, Tiger Claw due to general temptations, and Bradford "just to get him to shut up."
* TookALevelInBadass: After being mutated, he gains invulnerability to the point where Leo slashes him with his katanas, and he [[BarehandedBladeBlock catches them]], and strength enough to pick up a car. Not that this stops the turtles from defeating him.
** Takes another when [[spoiler:he falls into a vat of mutagen, mutating again.]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's a martial arts superstar with a chain of dojos across the country, but he's secretly Shredder's star pupil.
* VillainousFriendship: Type 3 with the Shredder, he's loyal and devoted to him, but the Shredder cares not for Bradford.
** Seems to be developing this with Tiger Claw, showing respect for their skills and a mutual dislike of Fishface.
* WasOnceAMan: After becoming Dogpound.
!! Xever/Fishface
->Voiced by Christian Lanz.
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Xever_918.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-Xever-] ]]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fishface_4708.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-Fishface-] ]]
A street punk who shares his knowledge of the New York underworld with The Foot. He used to just be a thief, but one day got caught stealing a BriefcaseFullOfMoney, that happened to belong to the Shredder, and luckily for him, the Shredder was impressed enough with skills to take him as a subordinate. Becomes a mutant fish.
* AfroAsskicker: While he was human.
* ArchEnemy: Seems to be Raphael's, since when the Turtles and the Foot clash, they usually fight each other.
* ArtificialLimbs: The reason why Baxter was taken by the Foot is because the Shredder needs him to give Fishface both artificial legs and what appears to be a scuba tank that pumps water into Xever's gills.
* AttackTheTail: Splinter beats him in [[spoiler: "Showdown"]] by tricking him into biting his own tail.
* AxCrazy: The most obvious case out of Shredder's henchmen.
* BadassBiker: He drives a fearsome-looking chopper in "Pulverizer Returns!"
* BadassNormal: Pre Fishface he was still able to hold his own against the turtles.
** BadassAbnormal: As Fishface, once he got his robotic legs, he started to fight all four them, and win.
* BadBoss: One of the few things he shares in common with his partner is his disregard for his henchmen and Baxter. [[spoiler:As with Bradford, [[TheDogBitesBack he never anticipated the possibility that Baxter would go for revenge]].]]
* BilingualBonus: He calls someone "Idiota" at one point.
* BlessedWithSuck: As a fish he needs water to breath, and he has no legs.
* ButterflyKnife: He shows off with one in his first appearance.
* CardCarryingVillain: He makes no attempts to hide how little he cares for others or how dangerous he is.
* TheCasanova: Implied by his yearnings for a lover in season two.
* CoDragons: With Chris to [[BigBad the Shredder]], at least until Karai enters the picture. Notably this is also after Xever and Bradford have fallen out of favor with the Shredder.
* CursedWithAwesome: He can inject venom into his opponents by biting them.
* DanceBattler: And surprisingly, it sticks after he gets new legs in his mutated form.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes.
* DualWielding: Sometimes with switchblades.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: As Fishface.
* EvilCounterpart: Possesses a preference for violence as well as a somewhat bad temper, much like Raphael, the character he usually tends to fight, and thus could be considered the logical extension of his personality if he were raised by someone like the Shredder. These similarities are [[NotSoDifferent called upon]] in "Baxter's Gambit", where a discussion as they're [[EnemyMine working together]] leads the two to conclude that they are "of a kind".
* {{Expy}}: Of Hun from the [[TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2003 cartoon]] both having connections to street gangs specifically the Purple Dragons. The only difference is Hun is the leader of the Purple Dragons while Xever is merely an associate. There's also the fact that Xever and Hun were both mutated into animals. The animal mutation would also make Xever and Bradford expies of Bebop and Rocksteady.
* ExtremityExtremist: He attacks mostly with his legs.
* FishPeople: After getting doused in Mutagen.
* {{Foil}}: Prefers violent behavior and he's just a street rat, rather than his partner, the famous and pragmatic Chris Bradford. His fighting style is also much more fast-paced and quick.
* FreudianExcuse: Downplayed. In "Baxter's Gambit", he talks about his life as a street rat and how he had to become a thief in order to survive in the world, but he himself makes it abundantly clear that he ''likes'' to do terrible things.
* {{Jerkass}}: Mikey explicitly calls him a jerk when he's in the process of [[KickTheDog kicking the dog]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Downplayed, with his robotic legs and breathing apparatus, Xever is comfortable with his mutation, at least moreso than Bradford is, but when he thinks Stockman can change them back, he jumps on the chance.
* KnifeNut: His Butterfly knives are his WeaponOfChoice before his transformation.
* KnightOfCerebus: A minor one, he doesn't drain all of the comedy from a scene but his sociopathic tendencies are ''not'' PlayedForLaughs and he makes the Turtles question their sense of ethics in a case of HeWhoFightsMonsters in the first episode where he takes center stage.
* LackOfEmpathy: And it provides a major ethical dilemma for the Turtles.
* NameFaceName: Fishface.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Sounds like "sever", and he uses knives.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His look is based on JimKelly.
* NotSoDifferent: See the "Evil Counterpart" entry above. He and Raph admit they're this in "Baxter's Gambit".
* ObviouslyEvil: He doesn't hide his nature from anyone and has no problems telling people about how he sent to prison, before Shredder broke him out.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Says it to Raphael [[spoiler: when he saves Raph from one of Stockman's traps.]]
* OutOfFocus: Was sidelined for several episodes after becoming Fishface, not doing much of anything until being upgraded. Shredder even mentioned that he was barely worth keeping around. This also hits him in the second season as he's only made two appearances by the middle of the season, not really contributing much to the plot.
* PsychoForHire: He says so to Raph:
-->'''Raphael''': "So, you do all this because you owe Shredder?"\\
'''Xever''': "Eh, mostly I like having a job where I get to crack skulls every day."\\
'''Raphael''': "[[NotSoDifferent Okay, I can relate to that]]."
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Bradford's red.
* TheRival: To Bradford
* SaltAndPepper: The pepper to Bradford's salt.
* ScaryBlackMan: Though not as dark as other examples, so he may be Black Hispanic or Brazilian instead.
* SlasherSmile: He often has one of these as a human, though since he is unhappy with his transformation Fishface doesn't smile as much.
* TheSociopath: Has no regard for any form of life whatsoever, is completely morally [[TheUnfettered unfettered]], and displays many other sociopathic traits. "Baxter's Gambit" however does show a slightly softer side of him in his interaction with Raphael.
* TheUnfettered: Described as such by Raph.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Subverted with Bradford, as they hate each other.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once Baxter finishes his new legs and breathing tool, he quickly shows in "The Pulverizer" that his new legs are even ''more'' versatile than his original ones, and on top of that, he has venomous teeth.
* VillainDecay: He's mostly relegated to a comedic role in Season 2, where he's slapped around by the Shredder to make a point, demonstrates more submissive behavior in regards to Tiger Claw (though this may be a skill difference and instincts taking prominence), that jar with his general control of the situations he was in in Season 1.
* VillainousFriendship: A Downplayed Type 4 with the Shredder. Like Bradford, the Shredder doesn't really care for him, but finds him useful enough to spring from jail and even commissions robot legs for him to stay in the fight. Unlike Bradford, Xever isn't necessarily loyal to the Shredder, mostly just in it for the thrills.
* WasOnceAMan: After turning into Fishface.
!! Baxter Stockman
->Voiced by Creator/PhilLaMarr
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TMNT_004_326.png]]
A scientist who decided to take revenge on all those who ever mocked him, going power mad in the process. After two solo outings, he was forcibly recruited by the Shredder.
* AccidentalMisnaming: People [[RunningGag will frequently]] get his name wrong every appearance after "I Think His Name Is Baxter Stockman". Even ''he'' got his own name wrong at one point.
* AfroAsskicker: When in the more dangerous version of his PoweredArmor.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: His head was left exposed after the Stockman-Pod upgraded into a HumongousMecha.
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:In "The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman", he only wishes to become human again, either via Donatello's Retro Mutagen, or more horrific means such as dipping a human in Mutagen and then going in himself, the results of which probably wouldn't even work.]]
* BigCreepyCrawlies: As Baxter The Fly
* BlackAndNerdy: He is black and is a nerdy scientist.
* BodyHorror: as Baxter the Fly
* ButtMonkey: Got this a lot back when he worked at TCRI, and it doesn't get better when he meets the turtles.
* CallBack: He uses Mousers like his other counterparts and [[spoiler:will become a mutant like his 1987 counterpart.]]
* CardCarryingVillain: Doesn't seem to deny that he's this trope, when Michelangelo asks why he's a villain.
* CompositeCharacter: Appears to be loosely based on the comics version in ethnicity, but his design borrows aspects of the version seen in the 1987 show (hairstyle, physique). [[spoiler: As of "The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman", he has become a mutant fly, another trait of his 1987 incarnation.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After being picked on for almost every episode by the Turtles and threatened by his higher-ups, he decides to take payback in "Baxter's Gambit".]]
* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: To the point that everyone could see it coming from a mile away.
* EvilCounterpart: He loves technology, [[NotSoHarmless can be quite dangerous]] even though he's [[ButtMonkey mocked and sometimes even underestimated by his coworkers]], likes wearing purple and is kind of a dork, much like Donatello.
* EvilGenius: His role when working for the Shredder or when trying to use it to be a solo villain.
* EvilIsHammy: Nowhere near as much as his 2003 counterpart, but he still has his moments.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Played with. While he's a bad guy who wears glasses, he lacks the cold-blooded sociopathic nature that generally comes with this trope.
* LaughablyEvil: His dorky demeanor and tendency to get angry over the Turtles insulting him made him quite entertaining. [[spoiler: He loses this trait after he becomes a fly mutant, however.]]
* MadScientist: Both in the sense of being angry at the world and not being very sane.
* NerdGlasses: Going with his nerdy portrayal in the series.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain[=/=]IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He treads the line between these two, the latter to the extent that Mikey actually suggests that they get him some ice cream rather than kick his butt.
* PoweredArmor: He had one in his first appearance. It was initially kind of crappy, but was upgraded by the T-Pod.
* RobotMaster: He uses machines to win his fights often, ranging from his powered suit to the mousers.
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:After his mutation into a fly in "The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman", he's become far less trusting and crazy thanks to it.]]
* SlasherSmile: When he uses the T-pod to upgrade his armor, he tries this, but it turns out too pleasant and goofy. He improves it in "Baxter's Gambit."
* StrawLoser: As part of being a villainous nerd, his pathetic nature almost makes him pitiable despite his clearly evil intentions.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: After [[spoiler:mutating into a fly]], he has started to constantly eat candy bars.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Once he mutates into a fly, he dismantles a Foot Bot and subdues Rahzaar long enough to escape temporarily. He also proves to a more difficult opponent for the turtles without any technological aid]].
* UsedToBeASweetKid: "Baxter's Gambit" has him talk about his backstory, and he states that he used to be a nice kid. [[UnreliableNarrator It's not easy to guess if he's telling the truth or not.]]
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler: Gets turned into a fly mutant in ''The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman'']]
* WhosLaughingNow: His motivation, though he hasn't been very good at his revenge schemes so far.
!! Oroku Karai[[spoiler:/Hamato Miwa]]
-> Voiced by KellyHu
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Karai_3089.png]]
The Shredder's [[DaddysLittleVillain daughter]] who takes over as TheDragon after Bradford and Xever fall out of favor with Shredder. [[DatingCatwoman Leonardo develops feelings for her]] [[HeelFaceTurn and desires to see her become good.]]
* AbusiveParents: Implied. She gets scared after making the Shredder angry with a comment, and he outright threatens to hurt her if she doesn't follow his orders.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Played with. While she still displays some shades of AmbiguouslyEvil and isn't as bad as her 2003 counterpart after JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, she doesn't really share the NobleDemon shades of her comic counterpart or her 2003 counterpart pre JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, and is much more mischievous than both.
* AffablyEvil[=/=]FauxAffablyEvil: Friendly and sociable to the turtles but still very much a bad girl. [[spoiler: Following their betraying her trust, she develops a full-blown hatred of them.]] In "Karai's Vendetta," her normally sociable and easygoing personality here only serve to highlight the sadistic pleasure she takes in hunting April.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: [[spoiler: Especially in "Karai's Vendetta"]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Subverted in "Alien Agenda", where the "ambiguous" part disappears. Played straight again in "Enemy of my Enemy" though, and the end of "Karai's Vendetta".
* AntagonisticOffspring: [[spoiler: Shredder revealed to Splinter that after their fight, Shredder took Miwa away and changed her name to Karai. However, Shredder told her a different story, reversing his and Splinter's positions, so Karai doesn't realize she's this.]]
* AntiVillain: Subverted, [[spoiler: then later played straight: something of a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds example (she's only evil due to circumstances she couldn't control when she was a baby) with shades of NobleDemon (Though as noted below, she's kinda erratic on that.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Leonardo as of "Enemy Of My Enemy" and April as of "Karai's Vendetta".
* BadassBiker: In her street clothes and due to having a motorcycle that she drives in "Enemy of my Enemy" and "Karai's Vendetta".
* BadassNormal: She has no special powers beyond her training and no transformations or robotics to enhance her in any way.
* TheBaroness: Sexpot variety.
* BigRedButton: Apparently cannot resist the urge to press them, as seen in "Alien Agenda".
* BoyishShortHair[=/=]DelinquentHair: Well she very tomboyish and her short two tone hair goes well with her bad reputation, which she is very proud of.
* CardCarryingVillain
-->'''Raph''': She's ''bad news''!
-->'''Leo''': No, she's not!
-->'''Karai''': Yeah, I am.
* {{Chickification}}: At the end of her HeelFaceTurn episode she's kidnapped by TheDragon and imprisoned by the BigBad, promptly becoming a DamselInDistress.
* CleopatraNose: Of the most prominent of the human cast, and she is still seen as rather good looking.
* CoolBike: Uses one in both "Enemy of my Enemy" and "Karai's Vendetta"
* CoolHelmet: A Motorcycle helmet for the aforementioned CoolBike.
* TheCorrupter: Tries to be this to Leo. He in turn, [[HighHeelFaceTurn tries to get her to become good.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Her fight with April is her giving one of these to her...[[spoiler: until April gets her to let her guard down by mentioning her MissingMom.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Shredder is her father. [[spoiler: Except not really.]]
* DarkActionGirl: She's been able to hold her own against any of the turtles, and has no trouble at all with the Kraang-droids.
* DarkIsEvil: She primarily wears dark colors and makes no secret about how dangerous she is to the turtles.
* DatingCatwoman: In only one episode, she and Leo connected pretty well. Subverted later in "Alien Agenda" when she betrays Leo and he gives up on her. Shades of this pop up again in "Enemy of my Enemy"...[[spoiler: only to end up coming apart at the seams again.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Compared to her previous incarnations, this version of Karai is much more snarky and less serious, willing to snark even in front of her father.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Starting with season 2.
* EnemyMine: Briefly with the Turtles against the Kraang, but then subverted [[KickTheDog when she takes a broken droid and abandons the Turtles to fight the mutant monster she created.]]
** She does this again in the aptly-titled "Enemy of my Enemy", where she actively seeks out the alliance after learning of the danger of the Kraang. [[spoiler: Once again, it doesn't last, but this time, it's the turtles' fault rather than her own.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Her father, Shredder. [[spoiler: And despite never having met her, her mother.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When the turtles betray her trust in "Enemy of My Enemy," she is unsurprisingly disgusted with them for doing so, though she has [[{{Hypocrite}} little room to talk]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Leonardo, both are the best students of their masters.
* EvilVersusEvil: Briefly against the Kraang.
* FacialMarkings: Are they makeup or tattoos? Who knows.
* ForTheEvulz:
-->'''Leo''': Karai, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre you don't have to do this.]]\\
'''Karai''': I know. That's what makes it ''fun''!
* FriendlyEnemy: To the turtles, at least on her end. [[spoiler: The "friendly" part was cut for a while, though she seems to be rekindling with them after discover that they're practically her brothers.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Signs of it towards April in "Karai's Vendetta" when she angrily demands to know what makes April so special as she's [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown pounding her into the dirt]].
* [[spoiler: HighHeelFaceTurn]]: [[spoiler: The only female villain on the Foot and she finally sides with the Turtles for real after learning that Splinter was her true father all along.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Feigned believing that Splinter was her true father to get the turtles to bring her back to their lair. It actually hit when she saw Splinter had a copy of the full picture of Tang Shen and Yoshi, of which she had only ever had the Tang Shen half.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Her street clothes.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: [[spoiler: Her actions and expressions during the coda of "The Alien Agenda" indicate she has reasons all her own to make sure the Foot Clan get advanced technology.]]
* ItAmusedMe: Her explanation for not killing Leo, and probably anything else she does. [[spoiler: Shredder's private conversation with his daughter implies he believes that might not be the ''only'' reason, though.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: She's not in the best position to criticize the Turtles for betraying her when she had earlier done the exact same thing and showed absolutely no remorse doing so. That said though, it's equally telling that the Turtles gave ''her'' grief for betraying them yet later betrayed her in turn.]]
** In season one, she remarked that Shredder was "obsessed with revenge". In season two, she becomes bent on taking revenge against Splinter, even disobeying Shredder's orders to do so.
** She stops Shredder from killing a weakened Splinter by claiming it would be dishonorable, except she was the one who fired the tranquilizer dart at him in the first place while he was fighting off Tiger Claw.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Seems this way at the end of "Alien Agenda". Later appearances subvert this and show that she really does have good qualities and that it's just (literally) difficult for her to express them due to her LackOfEmpathy.
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: While it is true that the Shredder is the turtles' enemy, in choosing to try and take him out they show that this is more important than their alliance with Karai, which was the source of Karai's disappointment. She thought the turtles, in particular Leo, was better than that and was willing to work with her against a common enemy and is right to say that Leo was the one who betrayed her this time, not the other way around.]]
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope[=/=]TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:Starting in "Karai's Vendetta", where following her coming to hate the Turtles fully goes from an AffablyEvil FriendlyEnemy to a sadistic and FauxAffablyEvil seeker of vengeance. It only got worse when Splinter became involved....]]
* KickTheDog: She abandons the turtles to fight an EldritchAbomination she created, which causes Leo to give up on her...until the next time they met, anyway.
** [[spoiler: While her rage against Splinter is understandable and even pitable since it's a huge lie Shredder has fed her all her life, she certainly doesn't come off too well trying to kill the Turtles or April just to personally hurt him.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: As stated above, she abandons the Turtles even though the EldritchAbomination attacking them was her own fault, and when Leo points out that he trusted her, she mocks him. Then again, she was raised by a full-fledged sociopath, so it isn't very surprising.
* LaserGuidedTykeBomb: [[spoiler:Shredder's more or less made her his pawn in his revenge against Splinter.]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: A variation. While Karai was always a villain, her hurt at Leonardo's betraying her trust in him prompts her to go from a FriendlyEnemy with a DatingCatwoman type relationship with Leo to a hateful ArchEnemy]]
* MakeUpIsEvil: She has red lipstick and heavy eyeshadow.
* MasterSwordsman: She appears to be as good as Leo, if not better.
* MeaningfulName: Karai means "Weapon". [[spoiler: Which is more or less what Shredder is using her as; a means to hurt Splinter, as she's actually his daughter.]]
* MissingMom: Mentioned in "Karai's Vendetta", [[spoiler: which is later revealed to be Tang Shen. Turns out she was told by Shredder that Splinter killed her, when it was in fact the other way around.]]
* MoralMyopia: She called the turtles out for betraying her even though she betrayed them first.
* MulticoloredHair: Her hair in the front is black/dark brown while the roots in the back are blonde. [[spoiler: Although flashback stills as a baby showed her with much lighter hair than her parents.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Says this after alerting Tiger Claw to the location of the lair. (Without the "My God" part.) When she realizes that Hamato Yoshi is indeed her real father]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: She accidentally creates [[EldritchAbomination Justin]]. Leo even points out it's her fault, [[LackOfEmpathy but she doesn't care.]]
* NobleDemon: Zigzags on this like all hell. She may occasionally show signs of honor and compassion, but this is interspersed with trying to kill the guys [[SinsOfTheFather for Splinter's (alleged) crimes]] and [[StuffedInTheFridge April just to hurt the guys]].
* NotSoDifferent: She and Leo get into this, as do she and April.
* OnlySaneMan: Unlike the Shredder, she understands thwarting the Krang's alien invasion of Earth should probably take priority over revenge on the turtles.
** Also counts as PragmaticVillainy.
* PetTheDog: Is actually willing to help with no strings attached in "Enemy Of My Enemy", and shares a moment of empathy with April in "Karai's Vendetta" that allows April to escape her.
* PluckyGirl[=/=]SpiritedYoungLady: Villainous example of both.
* PragmaticVillainy: In "Alien Agenda" in contrast to [[RevengeBeforeReason Shredder]].
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Her reflection appears in Shredder's mask in the new season 2 opening.
* PsychoticSmirk: She makes one at the end of "Alien Agenda".
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Save for a part of the former that's [[BlondesAreEvil dyed blonde]]
* RealNameAsAnAlias: She goes undercover using the name Harmony. However, "Karai" does not mean "harmony." [[spoiler:"Miwa"]], however, does.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Against the Turtles as of "The Enemy of My Enemy"]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Karai''': Our deal's off! You want a feud? [[ArchEnemy You've got one!]]]]
* RousseauWasRight: Cruelly subverted. Her abandoning the turtles to a monster she created causes Leo to give up on her.
** Double subverted in "Enemy of my Enemy" where she actively seeks out an alliance with the Turtles, reigniting Leo's hope that there's goodness in her.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids
-->'''Leo''': I trusted you!
-->'''Karai''': [[LackOfEmpathy I know!]] [[LampshadedTrope That's messed up, right?]]
** [[spoiler: This gets turned on its head later:]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Karai''': I thought you were my [[FriendlyEnemy friend!]] [[DramaticIrony How could you betray me!?]]]]
* SpikesOfVillainy: Downplayed. There's a few small ones one her armor. Her street clothes feature a jacket that has a ton of these.
* StealthHiBye: To Leonardo in "New Girl In Town"
* TomboyishSidetails: So far she is definitely the most tomboyish girl in the show.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: [[TragicVillain Her entire LIFE]].]]
* WomanInBlack: Most of the time.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Leo tried to make her realize this early on, but so far, he [[IgnoredEpiphany hasn't gotten through]].
* YouKilledMyFather: She believes that Splinter killed her mother. [[spoiler: Except it's all a lie, and Splinter is her biological father.]]
* YoungerAndHipper: Like April, she's been aged down to 16 years old.

-->Voiced by Creator/EricBauza
The most feared assassin in all of Asia, the Shredder has recently hired him to help him in his fight against the Hamato Clan.
* BountyHunter
* Determinator: Manages to cut his way out of the Kraathatrogon, defeats the 80's Turtles, and jumps through dimensions, defeating every enemy in his way, including a whole army of Kraang, all to return and have his revenge.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He makes his respect for the Shredder and disdain for the Foot Clan apparent very quickly, and when Karai is about to attack Tiger Claw, he pulls a gun on her without skipping a beat.
* {{Expy}}: Of Boba Fett from StarWars, especially with the ShoutOut of the Boba's defeat by jetpack and Sarlacc.
* EyepatchOfPower: [[spoiler:His appearance in the toyline shows him with an eyepatch.]]
** Confirmed in his return.
* FreezeRay: One of his weapons that he employs in combat, presumably to assist in capturing opponents alive.
* JerkAss: He doesn't seem to particularly care about Shredder's clan, and makes that thought known when Karai talks badly of him.
* {{Jetpack}}: He has one that allows him to obtain an aerial advantage.
%% * PantheraAwesome
* ProfessionalKiller: Described as "Asia's deadliest assassin" at one point.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: He appears in the opening in his first appearance, "The Manhattan Project". [[spoiler:Which makes his supposed death by Kraathatrogon highly suspect.]]
** And returns after an OffScreenMomentOfAwesome.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Has a nice-looking blue scarf.
* SwordAndGun: His primary weapons.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He was villainous but still honorable. Upon his return, his honorable side is no more and he's just now filled with rage and focused solely on revenge.
* VillainousFriendship: Has a mutual sense of respect for Bradford.
!! Fong, Tsoi, and Sid

[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Tsoi_794.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-Tsoi-] ]]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sid_7288.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:[-Sid-] ]]
A trio of thugs who make up the Purple Dragons, a street gang roped into working for the Shredder by Xever. Fong and Sid are both voiced by Andrew Kishino, while Tsoi is portrayed by James Sie.
* AbandonedWarehouse: Their headquarters is an empty fortune cookie factory.
* AllThereInTheScript: Only Fong's name has been mentioned on-screen. Tsoi and Sid's names appear in the episode credits.
* BadassCrew[=/=]BadassNormal: Subverted. They're weaker than the Foot Ninjas and are treated as CannonFodder by the turtles. They are in running for the turtles' least threatening adversaries.
* BadassMustache: Tsoi.
* TheBrute: Sid.
* TheCameo: In the season 1 finale
* DartboardOfHate: A picture of an actual turtle, with a red ninja mask scrawled on it.
* DropTheHammer: Tsoi.
* GangBangers: They are the gang "The Purple Dragons".
* GoldfishPoopGang: While they do show up rather often they aren't ever seen as much of a threat.
* {{Jerkass}}: All of them
* KnifeNut: Fong.
* LeanAndMean: Fong is extremely gaunt.
* {{Mooks}}: They are weaker than Foot Ninjas, and thus make better cannon fodder.
* OddlySmallOrganization: We have never seen that many Purple Dragons despite being a prominent street gang.
* OutOfFocus: After Xever got mutated, they started to appear less and less, until eventually making an unvoiced cameo in the season 1 finale. They finally reappeared in the season 2 episode "The Good, The Bad, and the Casey Jones".
* RousseauWasRight: [[spoiler: When it look like Xever, Bradford and the Foot Ninjas have the turtles beat, Fong tosses Leo (who had let him go earlier) his sword, [[TheDogBitesBack though it was possible he did it to get back at Xever for knocking him around]]]].
* ShameIfSomethingHappened: They're introduced trying to extort Murakami, and a later episode reveals they have to pay tribute to the Shredder, presumably for the "priviledge" of operating under his name.
* {{Tattooed Crook}}s: Like most stereotypical gang members.
* TerribleTrio: Subverted. They're a trio of bad guys, but they lack the needed individuality that comes with this trope, all having more or less the same personality.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: They all appear to be Chinese.
!! The Foot Ninjas
[[quoteright:145:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foot-w145-h275_7914.png]]
The openly acknowledged CannonFodder of the Foot Clan.
* AdaptiveAbility: Season 2 introduces us to [[MythologyGag robot Foot Ninja]], who catch on to a person's attack pattern as a fight goes on.
* AdaptationalBadass: The robot Foot Ninja seem to be far more dangerous and powerful here due to their AdaptiveAbility, whereas they were just CannonFodder in the 1987 series.
* BadassArmy[=/=]BadassNormal: Subverted.
* CannonFodder[=/=]{{Mooks}}
* CoolMask: With almost bug-like eyes, like most incarnations of the foot.
* DarkIsEvil: Mostly black, fitting their role as stereotypical ninjas.
* TheFaceless: Since they are never seen unmasked, and the robotic foot wouldn't have a face aside from their "masks" any way.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: And lampshaded by the turtles in "Pulverizer Returns". Justified because it turns out that most of them are not properly trained ninjas but rather just anyone the Foot Clan can find and recruit.
* {{Kiai}}: Robot Foot Ninja constantly shriek in small bursts.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: As mentioned they are malevolent and are never seen without wearing their masks.
* MechaMooks: In Season 2
* {{Ninja}}: Duh.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Their primary color scheme.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The lenses on their masks are red.
* ReplacementMooks: Season 2 replaces the human mooks with robots who are far more powerful than the previous ones.
* TheVoiceless: Aside from the robotic foot's monkey-like shrieks.
!!Chromedome
[[quoteright:145:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chromedome-w145-h275_6523.png]]
An upgraded robotic foot ninja created using Chris Bradford's armor, first sent out to hunt down April. The 2012 version of Chromedome.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Created for Karai to destroy April, but the Kraang put in an override program to capture her instead. It later malfunctions, and starts trying to destroy everyone in sight instead.
* {{Badass}}: It gives the team a hell of a fight.
* EnergyWeapon: [[WhipItGood Whips]], [[FightingWithChucks chucks]], and [[LaserBlade swords]].
* EyeBeams: Uses these to bisect the [[DeadlyDisc manhole covers]] shot at it by the Shellraiser.
* {{Flight}}: Via RocketBoots.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Defeated when Mikey impaled it with its own LaserBlade.
* KingMook: Far more advanced than the Foot Boots, and based on Bradford's old armor instead of the standard Foot uniforms.
* MythologyGag: Named after Chromedome from the 1980s series
* PaletteSwap: It's pretty clearly the human Bradford in his ninja garb, but with some minor alterations in color and proportion.
* RobotMe: Of Bradford, pre mutation.
