Slash was actually one of my, if not the, favorite characters in the franchise, especially the comic version. He was the odd man out, had a menacing demeanor but at the end of the day still chose to do the right thing. Not all heroes look the part.
maybe it was the heavy metal in my blood, but he was mine too from just being cool looking from the toys, and enjoyed seeing him show up in turtles in time
Slash is more powerful based on his biological superiority being an alligator snapping turtle over box turtles or basic river turtles. They grow much larger and are much more physically robust.
@@mangareader7474 all that stuff is why the mutant version of slash is so powerful. The mutagen agent just amplified and changed the structure still not sure why it’s always towards a human.
Fun fact: the chemical that made them mutate blinded dare devil and enhanced his other senses to super human. And mutants can be created by intent or accident, not just born.
@@Urisephnot on difficult, especially with Raphael. Smoked in 3-4 hits, literally 😂😂😂 And you have to hit him from behind, he doesn't really jump on difficult
The current run of the IDW comic books is a great place to start. You'll miss some of the nods and callbacks to old series, but I would, as a fan, say it's easily the best of all. It amalgamated so many ideas from all the iterations and added its own new stuff in that's so good, I can't imagine a new TMNT property that doesn't use the characters they've made.
Scary thing about Slash is that, in the last ronin Michelangelo had grown to full size. Slash was that size already. Think if he was alive to grow to his full size.
Spike turning into Slash and then fighting Raphael was really sad for me when watching it as a kid. Imagine being forced to fight your own pet after they had suddenly become intelligent and very strong while all at the same time turning evil. Spike was Raphael’s most precious companion and it really hurt to watch them fight.
@@Perfection211 He is one of the few that I have left after a cousin, and nephew. But he will be going to my great nephew next when he is a little older.
I like the 2012 version of Slash because even though he once held a grudge against Raph's Brothers Mikey, Donny, and Leo, He'd still continue to do good by protecting the innocent and forming the Mighty Mutanimals.
I absolutely loved Slash as a child, to the point that my mom even got me a little plastic palm tree just like his Binkie. I treasured that thing for years.
Slash has always been what Raph would be if he gave into his impulses. In some ways he is what Raph would of been if he were the Ronin. Him, Raph and Splinter are my favorite characters.
He really is a tragic character. He is an anti-hero, going around doing good, yet he wasnt raised to know better. The other turtles grew up with Splinter. His anger towards the turtles is relatable. He has the strength, but his intelligence is his main weakness, which is the best part. He isnt invincible, and there is alot of character growth through the different comics. He is a tragic hero that people want to root for.
And then, in the IDW continuity, sacrifices himself to save Mikey and the Mutaninmals. He is a very tragic character, and ultimately what the Turtles strive to be
What's really crazy is that the Turtles could almost never defeat Slash even when ganging up on him. And in the 90's TV show they actually resorted to just trapping him on a rocket ship and sending him into space because they just did *not* know how to do deal with this guy lol
@@michaelmercury1297 Yes, I had the original character, but I remember nothing about him other than supposedly he was advertised in 1 episode for like 3 seconds.
Slash was kinda overlooked but he was one of my personal favorites growing up with TMNT. A snapping turtle just seemed to have an edge over the pet turtles.
I only just realized that there's a reference to the creators of the comics in the episode "Fallen Angel" of the 2003 series where Casey tells a friend to find the turtles at a warehouse at the corner of Eastman and Laird
I haven't followed the turtles since I was a kid. I was born in 82 so the turtles were my favorite thing as a kid. I had no idea slash was still used in the different iterations of the turtles over time. Makes me happy they keep bringing him back. He was always my favorite character right after Raphael.
Back in the 90s I loved slash's action figure!" his action figure back in the day always fit with the original four turtles! Him and chromedome was my favorite figures as a kid!" The nineties was really great time to be a kid and growing up!"
Did you guys know that CANONICALLY Slash stole weapons from Shredder and BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THE TURTLES? If they made a dark live action movie with Slash as the villain!! Goosebumps!! Slash was cool AF in the turtles in time game
Fun fact, Eastmen actually stole the idea for slash from a friend of his 5 year old nephew… he over heard them playing with friends and the friends didn’t want to play with this particular kid, so everyone picked what turtle to play as, but every-time this kid chose a character, Eastmen’s nephew would say you can’t be that one one of the others is already that one… the kid finally got frustrated and just made up his own character that character was slash, Eastmen liked the kids idea and added the character to the show.
I'll be honest. I'm surprised there's no mention at all about his SNES Turtles in Time counterpart. That's where more people know Slash from outside of the original cartoon for a great deal of people. His Archie Comics version of which he's designed is spoken of, but there are differences for that Slash too.
I LIKE HIS VERSION IN THE MANHATTAN GAME , WHERE HE IS SHOWN DELIVERED ONSCREEN BY BEBOP'S PICKUP ,SPORTING DOUBLE KRISES AND AN AWESOME SHELL BREAKDANCE MOVE!!!
Archie Comics Slash was the most aggressive turtle. Made Raphael look like a choir boy. Slash grew up under harsh circumstances born on garbage planet where there were no trees. When he came to earth however, he found a sense of peace and became allies with The Mutanimals. Slash is like Muzzle from Road Rovers. You unleash him when there are no options. And he is loyal.
@@NEOSCISSORSJAGUARPRIME yes. That's where I remember him from mostly. I saw him first in the cartoon but that memory was so young its almost nonexistent
Funny I said that I was randomly thinking of Archie before reading your comment. I have turtles in time game on my tablet. I went to game store 2 weeks ago. I seen turtles in time 3 copies $69 each for SNES. I’m thinking of getting one
@@hemi5.7awdpursuit5 Best of luck and enjoy the game. There's ways to play it for free, but I totally understand if you want a physical copy for yourself.
Slash is a badass in TMNT TIT/Archie books, The IDW comics and the 2012 series. Wasnt a fan of the goofy slash bebop and rocksteady stole from a zoo with his little binky lol 🤣 how he went from goofy and slow to smart back to primitive again. That version was the funniest though. I liked the 2012 Slash and TIT Slash were the best versions imo but the idw comic version was cool too.
@@k-dogg9086 Oh yeah I know for sure. Yeah I believe from what I rmemeber of the episode they used the tech technodromes dimensional transportational technology they went to dimension x snd stole slash from a zoo there that had a turtle then used the mutagen to make him slash. In other versions he's from Erath however sonic depends on thr universe of TMNT. TMNT has a multiverse that the movie TMNT Turtles Forever confirmed like 10 plus years ago or whenever it came out it was a while back it had 80s turtles working with the 2003 universe turtles and then the mirage original hardcore turtles.
I love the total contrary of Slash especially if you play Turtles in Time first and then see the show its like "what the, who the hell is this supposed to be?"
Great video! Aside from Raphael, Slash has always been my favorite TMNT character! My favorite version is the original toy--his bio on the card made him sound like a twisted, cunning predator, so my head cannon has always followed that. I hated his dopey depiction in the original cartoon, but absolutely loved how they portrayed him in the 2012 series! I wasn't a huge fan of his dinosaur-like design, but his character was awesome. Like the Venom of the TMNT. :)
Could you maybe Cover the Comic series „Once and Future“ ? It’s brilliant, it’s like the Legend of King Arthur mixed with Wytches and Hellboy. Bloody, brutal and absolutely beautifully drawn
Ah. I remember Slash. Perfect for when your friends want to grab some sticks and run around the neighborhood playing ninja turtles...but there are five of you and no one wants to be Splinter.
The entire time watching this video I was thinking of Tokka and confused why the character didn't match. It took a flashback of Turtles in Time to realize it was the other snapping turtle lol
The 2003 TMNT series actually DID have a Slash, kinda. In the Turtles Forever special, Hun gets 1987 Mutagen on him while holding onto one of the 87 turtles (cant remember which one) and is mutated into a giant, spiky, monstrous mutant turtle. He may not have been called Slash, but having a human the size and build of Hun be mutated into a monstrous turtle, he was probably just as strong.
The thing is. Slash kinda was in the 2003-2006 series in a way. Do you remember the Good Genes three parter? What Donatello mutated into looked a lot like Slash, minus the spikes on his shell, as the Don monster had none of those spikes on his shell. So even though he didn't physically have an appearance as a named character, it is still considered a cameo. But Slash's character in the 2012 tv series is by far one of my most favourites. But that's solely because I haven't read any of the comics, and didn't know the TMNT comics even existed. Not really. I knew about one or two though. One was thanks to the 2006 movie Turtles Forever, and the other was thanks to my sister actually reading the IDW comics. It's how I remember King Komodo and what he did to Leonardo.
How many other people bought this toy as a kid purely because he looked like an evil Wolverine-Ninja Turtle? 😅 Me and my brother never knew his backstory but immediately he assumed he was some bamf villain, nice to know we guessed right.
Slash was honestly amazing in teenage mutant ninja turtles 2012, he was one of my favorite members of the Mighty Mutanimals, besides Leatherhead, honestly making him Raphael’s pet made in 2012 was the best choice I love his character.
The action figure came first, then the Archie comics, which is why his design matched the action figure. It was a real sick figure, but I guess he was too edgy for Saturday Mornings so he got that dopey looking redesign. You forgot to mention he also appeared in Night of the Rogues, at the very least as a minor footnote. Since he was only in 3 episodes of the old cartoon, it felt weird not mentioning that one. I did feel bad for him in his first episode though. He was violent and had a bad temper but he was literally just mutated that day. Dude has a lot to take in. The Turtles themselves were very ignorant about the outside world the first time April took them out too.
I remember as a kid when TMNT 2 Secret of the ooze promotional images were coming out, I saw Toka and thought he was Slash at first. Thought it was kind of cool until finding out it wasn't him shortly after.
@Marvelous Videos One big correction; In the 2003 Series Slash was not present, BUT in the 2003 Animated sequel Movie, TURTLES FOREVER, Hun, the Purple Dragons leader and big henchman of Ch'rell Shredder was mutated into a Monstrous Spiked Turtle (or as he yells "MUTANT TURTLE FIIILTH!!!") not unlike Slash, even having one bigger eye than the other, and even as much as having his belt buckle twist to look like an S to symbolize Slash. This essentially makes Hun the 2003's version of the evil Slash. Now, before anyone says that he was supposed to be the 2003 version of Tokka, Foot Ninja that were being mutated by the mutagen ooze as an army force, showed 2 specific Foot Ninja turned into the 2003 versions of Tokka and Rahzar, though like Hun not called by the mutant characters' names.
When I was a kid I loved the Slash toy. I was so interesting in the character, something oddly interesting in dark doppelgänger characters. I wish they would have been able to use it better in storytelling. Like with his introduction and also being a ninja he could have masqueraded as Raphael and commit crimes/assaults in order to frame and defame the heroes in a half shell. Another could have been later on where a turtle is captured on a mission and Slash is transformed to look identical (probably Ralph as well because of the grumpy attitude) so he could get close to and possibly kill Splinter. He is able to get close and is ready to deal the death blow when splinter tells him he has known all along who he was. That slash has had a hard life looking for purpose, that he had fallen so far but he is not a weapon, he is a turtle. Slash decides not to attempt to kill splinter and instead leaves to find out who he truly is.
I so mad as a kid when I finally saw the Slash episode of the '87 cartoon. I had seen the playmates action figure before I saw the episode and thought he would look like the figure in the cartoon
Yeah, we saw the toy and thought he was the coolest character ever (my brother got him), but the cartoon character was a major letdown. When we played with our Turtle toys my brother had his own version of the character that was thankfully not inspired by the cartoon.
So, as someone who watched turtles while still a baby in the cradle, I can say with confidence that I damn much like the plot of this comic 10:01, it's damn well served: confusion, despair, mature turtles with a troubled past, unexpected encounters, diabolical enemies. As a fan, I deserve a film adaptation of this product, the best gift for an adult audience.
I loved this character so much, when I was 10 I named my second pet tarantula Slash lol. I always wondered why the toy wore a black bandanna, and the cartoon one looked the way it did. Thanks to Marvelous Videos I now know. You guys are awesome✌️
I remember that in the 2003 Series Finale, “Turtles Forever!”, Hun became Mutated, and turned into a Spiky Turtle. A lotta fans, including myself, we’re led to believe that Hun became Slash in the movie, and I was actually glad, since he was a lot more Terrorizing against the Turtles, when he became something he Despised.
i still have that toy/action figure. i always thought it was funny that the body is exactly the same as the one they used for Tokka from the tmnt 2 movie.
I love that Slash weapon was a mace and that he was more about his strength than the dexterity like rest of the turtles as it was making sense and gave him more character than just being evil Donatello with Leonardo swords.
I always imagined Slash to be the dark ninja turtle that follows the cold, black path of the ninja much like Shredder but has his ninja honor intact. Slash is the anti-thesis to the ninja turtles' ideals and would always question their benevolent ways as a ninja, which he believes sullied of what makes ninjas so fearsome, to the point of willingly starting a conflict to both prove his point and quench his own battlelust. I feel making him a comrade to the TMNT would be a waste to his potential to become a powerful dark tragic villain.
Slash's design in the SNES Turtles in Time port was so cool, I wish the Shredder's Revenge game hadn't defaulted to his 80's cartoon counterpart. It's clear the team at Konami saw the actual toy and went with that version.
I think most of us 90's kids were introduced to Slash by Turtles in Time. We didn't have every VHS unless our parents gave us literally everything, or they loved it just the same. When I played TiT with my friends and talked about it at school, no one knew who Slash was besides the boss of 65,000,000 BC.

How many other people bought this toy as a kid purely because he looked like an evil Wolverine-Ninja Turtle? 😅
Me and my brother never knew his backstory but immediately he assumed he was some bamf villain, nice to know we guessed right.
Just read the cardboard cut out on the back of the toy ❤ dimension X has 10 times earth's gravity, thus making Slash incredibly strong.
Always liked the figure because of his blue-green color scheme,and his resemblance to Spider-Man foe, Venom.
Slash was honestly amazing in teenage mutant ninja turtles 2012, he was one of my favorite members of the Mighty Mutanimals, besides Leatherhead, honestly making him Raphael’s pet made in 2012 was the best choice I love his character.
The action figure came first, then the Archie comics, which is why his design matched the action figure. It was a real sick figure, but I guess he was too edgy for Saturday Mornings so he got that dopey looking redesign. You forgot to mention he also appeared in Night of the Rogues, at the very least as a minor footnote. Since he was only in 3 episodes of the old cartoon, it felt weird not mentioning that one.
I did feel bad for him in his first episode though. He was violent and had a bad temper but he was literally just mutated that day. Dude has a lot to take in. The Turtles themselves were very ignorant about the outside world the first time April took them out too.
'By turtleizing the entire planet'. So that's where they got the plot idea for Amazing Spider-Man 2 😅😅😅
I grew up with the original TMNT cartoon and I never got to see these later stories. Thank you!
Nice vid) Brings loads of nostalgia =) Keep doing the nice job)
One of my favorite TMNT toys back in the day 👍🏼
"Cold steel meets hot flesh, that's why they call me slash!"
I remembered during the 2003 series, Donnie mutation escalated to a form that look like Slash.
2:06 me and my little brother cant stop watching this part and pissing ourselves laughing XD
I remember as a kid when TMNT 2 Secret of the ooze promotional images were coming out, I saw Toka and thought he was Slash at first. Thought it was kind of cool until finding out it wasn't him shortly after.
Your not alone I thought the same thing I wonder if toka was based off of slash
@Marvelous Videos One big correction; In the 2003 Series Slash was not present, BUT in the 2003 Animated sequel Movie, TURTLES FOREVER, Hun, the Purple Dragons leader and big henchman of Ch'rell Shredder was mutated into a Monstrous Spiked Turtle (or as he yells "MUTANT TURTLE FIIILTH!!!") not unlike Slash, even having one bigger eye than the other, and even as much as having his belt buckle twist to look like an S to symbolize Slash. This essentially makes Hun the 2003's version of the evil Slash. Now, before anyone says that he was supposed to be the 2003 version of Tokka, Foot Ninja that were being mutated by the mutagen ooze as an army force, showed 2 specific Foot Ninja turned into the 2003 versions of Tokka and Rahzar, though like Hun not called by the mutant characters' names.
This was great! Awesome Work! It's crazy... I still have my Slash action figure
Just here to get the lore on that new Kuzenbo SMITE skin
He was stronger than letherhead himself
When he got hypnotized by the parasite worm of Baxter fly
In Turtles in Time, Slash was that boss that let you know the rest of the game is gonna get harder. I wanna be like that!
Nah he wasn't that hard it was bebop and rocksteady that actually made the game harder
was not expecting this to be so interesting
also at 16:35 , slash wearing the black bandana is heartbreaking for some reason
Forgot about this guy. His TMNT 2012 design was super cool. Thanks for the reminder
Slash loving his little tree is beyond adorable
When I was a kid I loved the Slash toy. I was so interesting in the character, something oddly interesting in dark doppelgänger characters. I wish they would have been able to use it better in storytelling. Like with his introduction and also being a ninja he could have masqueraded as Raphael and commit crimes/assaults in order to frame and defame the heroes in a half shell.
Another could have been later on where a turtle is captured on a mission and Slash is transformed to look identical (probably Ralph as well because of the grumpy attitude) so he could get close to and possibly kill Splinter. He is able to get close and is ready to deal the death blow when splinter tells him he has known all along who he was. That slash has had a hard life looking for purpose, that he had fallen so far but he is not a weapon, he is a turtle. Slash decides not to attempt to kill splinter and instead leaves to find out who he truly is.
I so mad as a kid when I finally saw the Slash episode of the '87 cartoon. I had seen the playmates action figure before I saw the episode and thought he would look like the figure in the cartoon
Yeah, we saw the toy and thought he was the coolest character ever (my brother got him), but the cartoon character was a major letdown. When we played with our Turtle toys my brother had his own version of the character that was thankfully not inspired by the cartoon.
Slash's plan to turtlefy everyone is the equivalent of "you aren't turtley enough for the turtle club"
Slash and Leatherhead were my two favorite boss battles in the Turtles in Time game. Badass designs
Slash would be cool if they add him in rise
He made game appearances before in
The past like the first TMNT game
TMNT 3 and turtles in time.
Let me know if I'm missing any.
He was also in shredders revenge
@@Ninten_99 thanks.
So, as someone who watched turtles while still a baby in the cradle, I can say with confidence that I damn much like the plot of this comic 10:01, it's damn well served: confusion, despair, mature turtles with a troubled past, unexpected encounters, diabolical enemies. As a fan, I deserve a film adaptation of this product, the best gift for an adult audience.
4:39 wow! What a blast from my past! I had that toy.
I loved this character so much, when I was 10 I named my second pet tarantula Slash lol. I always wondered why the toy wore a black bandanna, and the cartoon one looked the way it did. Thanks to Marvelous Videos I now know. You guys are awesome✌️
Henkust be an alligator 🐊 snapping turtle
Nickelodeon’s TMNT’s Slash’s roar is epic
Use to love fighting him on TMNT TURTLES IN TIME on the super nes...one best games ever mad
"That's where you got it wrong Leo, I'm no turtle... I'M A TORTOISE!"
this was really cool. i'm going to check out your other videos. if you haven't done one on usagi yojimbo that would be cool to see in the future.
My left ear appreciates the audio dude.
This was Kool did not know any of this until now thx u👍👍
This is why Slash is my favorite villain/anti hero Tmnt character
I always wanted a team of
Slash
Metalhead
Venis demilo
And a fourth
It's kinda been a head cannon I've always had I'd call em team alpha or something
I remember that in the 2003 Series Finale, “Turtles Forever!”, Hun became Mutated, and turned into a Spiky Turtle. A lotta fans, including myself, we’re led to believe that Hun became Slash in the movie, and I was actually glad, since he was a lot more Terrorizing against the Turtles, when he became something he Despised.
Kind of reminds me of Venom in the anti-hero/frenemy of the teen heroes
Famous words Slash, "Nothing works more than an anti gravity beam" in a British accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i still have that toy/action figure. i always thought it was funny that the body is exactly the same as the one they used for Tokka from the tmnt 2 movie.
You forgot his appearance in the later season with the team of the turtles' rogues gallery that was hired by the Shredder.
Apu Origins Why This Classic Simpsons Mainstay Became so Controversial recently and has been removed from the series entirely
Wait what?
It's been forever since I heard bout Slash! I remember having an action figure when I was a kid.....
I love that Slash weapon was a mace and that he was more about his strength than the dexterity like rest of the turtles as it was making sense and gave him more character than just being evil Donatello with Leonardo swords.
I always imagined Slash to be the dark ninja turtle that follows the cold, black path of the ninja much like Shredder but has his ninja honor intact. Slash is the anti-thesis to the ninja turtles' ideals and would always question their benevolent ways as a ninja, which he believes sullied of what makes ninjas so fearsome, to the point of willingly starting a conflict to both prove his point and quench his own battlelust. I feel making him a comrade to the TMNT would be a waste to his potential to become a powerful dark tragic villain.
He needs more appeareances
Ninja Turtles is one of the reasons why 90s were so great for Kids during that era.
Man outta all my years of loving the turtles 🐢....I have never heard of slash...makes me feel I don't....lol...crazy!!!
Really like this character… really hope they do more with him
Thanks for posting this
Slash's design in the SNES Turtles in Time port was so cool, I wish the Shredder's Revenge game hadn't defaulted to his 80's cartoon counterpart. It's clear the team at Konami saw the actual toy and went with that version.
"Ah Wan Mah Binkee!" i cant ever forget Slash from the 80's lol.
This takes me back!
I think most of us 90's kids were introduced to Slash by Turtles in Time. We didn't have every VHS unless our parents gave us literally everything, or they loved it just the same. When I played TiT with my friends and talked about it at school, no one knew who Slash was besides the boss of 65,000,000 BC.
@Marvelous Videos
Where is the picture in the thumbnail from please???!!
He's like the Venom of Ninja Turtles
Slash is a badass in TMNT TIT/Archie books, The IDW comics and the 2012 series. Wasnt a fan of the goofy slash bebop and rocksteady stole from a zoo with his little binky lmao how he went from goofy and slow to smart back to primitive again.
I liked the 2012 Slash and TIT Slash were the best versions imo but the idw comic version was cool too.
