Recap / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) S04E31 "Michaelangelo Meets Bugman"

Go To

Michelangelo meets his all-time favorite comic book hero Bugman and they team up to fight crime.


Tropes:

  • Expy:
    • Bugman is a parody of both Spider-Man (having been given powers by a bug-bite) and Hulk (intense light-rays turning him into a monster when enraged).
    • Electrozapper is a reference to Spider-Man villain Electro, being an Psycho Electro villain with an obsession with siphoning power.
  • Kryptonite Factor: Bugman has a weakness to "leestanite", a metal Michelangelo's nunchucks happen to be made of.
  • Shout-Out:
    • "Leestanite" is a reference to Stan Lee.
    • When Michelangelo asks if Brick could "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee", Bugman says "some other guy did that".
