1/28/2024 0 Comments Slash tmntI ran into Slash yesterday along with a few other new figures (Rahzar and Dojo Splinter) and snapped him up immediately. I think Slash was one of the figures I was most excited for in this new TMNT toyline that started in 2012 based on Nickelodeon's ongoing animated series. The original figure looked much quite a bit like the turtles and he was armed with weapons that were warped parodies of their own. Kris: Slash often used a Kris with his claws and was able to match Leonardo's sword blow for blow in combat.The Slash figure from the vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toyline has always been one of my favorites! Much like Superman has Bizarro and He-Man had Faker to battle against, the TMNT had Slash as an evil version of themselves.Metal Claws: Slash's favored weapon was a pair of metal claws clenched around his fist.Martial arts: Slash has shown expertise in various weaponry.The Ninja Turtles were unable to defeat him in his initial appearance and it took a warhead for the Brazilian military to knock out Slash. Durablity: Slash is incredibly durable.Unlike the Mutanimals, Slash had no problem damaging heavily armored foes such as a bunch of prison guards on Morbus as well as Scul and Bean. Some notable feats of his strength include lifting up a Brazilian tank and tearing it apart with his metal claws in issue 9 of Mighty Mutanimals. Super Strength: Slash is incredibly strong.Although Slash had surely perished, he had put an end to Maligna and the Malignoids and finally avenged his friends. The turtles watched from their ship as the Maligna's spacecraft met a fiery demise as it fell into the sun. As the turtles fled, Slash singlehandedly held off Maligna and her forces, preventing them from reaching the turtles. If the battle came to an end then Maligna would be able to regain control of the hiveship. With Candy rescued, the turtles and their allies were retreating back to their own space ship, but Slash opted instead to stay behind. Tracking Null (and a brainwashed Candace) to Maligna's mobile hiveworld, Slash and his allies fought the Insectoid Queen and her forces.ĭuring the battle with Maligna, Slash destroyed the engine of the hive ship, causing it to plummet toward the sun. Although he had slain his friends's murderers (with some help), the revelation that Maligna and Null were behind the attack meant that Slash's quest for vengeance wasn't over. The Gang of Four brazenly confessed to killing the Mutanimals when the two groups fought, sending Slash into a rage. Once Candy convinced him that the turtles were not to blame, Slash joined them in their investigation. Slash had not been with his friends at the time, and when the turtles, along with Ninjara, and the future counterparts of Donatello and Raphael were investigating the massacre Slash initially thought the turtles and their friends were responsible and attacked them. Later in the series, the Mutanimals were ambushed and gunned down by Null's band of half-dead Cyborgs called the Gang of Four. A grateful Slash happily wandered off into the trees, and would become a willing ally of his rescuers. He had crashed on earth in New York, and only ceased his rampage when he destroyed a pet shop and took a small fake palm tree from a terrarium, stating that he 'didn't care it was made of plastic.' The Mutanimals informed Slash that he would be allowed to stay on their island home which was filled with the palm trees he so loved. The Mutanimals were able to calm him enough to allow Slash to explain his backstory to them. Once awakened Slash attacked them, until he was subdued by Leatherhead. The Mutanimals broke him out and took the tranquilized Slash back to their island. Newspaper articles drew the attention of the Mighty Mutanimals, who mistook him for one of the Turtles. Later in the series, Slash went on a rampage in New York and was captured and imprisoned. Under Krang's leadership Slash teamed with Bellybomb and fought the turtles while Krang sought a new body: that of the Shredder. Slash soon came across the banished Krang and made a deal to help him back to Earth. In sheer rage, Slash killed the lumberjacks and unable to find the Palm trees he craved, went on a violent rampage against authority figures across the galaxy, eventually leading to his imprisonment and sentence to permanent exile on Morbus. Slash's paradise would be shattered when workers from the planet Vertmorte came and stripped the world of all of his his precious trees to build a mansion for the President. Originally he lived in solitude on a world filled with lush palm trees called Palmadise. In the Archie continuity, Slash was an alien anthropomorphic snapping turtle and a criminal exiled to the Morbus for his actions. Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids.
