The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been a popular fictional quartet of super human, robotic, quintessential beings, trained in the ancient martial arts of ninjutsu, also known as the traditional style of fighting as taught to Japanese assassins in the feudal Japan era. These turtles are the main defenders of New York City and their leader is Splinter, a young and powerful splicer. Splinter teaches the younger, less developed Turtles in the refined style of the ninja arts, teaching them to stealthily strike their enemies with precision and unrivaled attacks and techniques. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles eventually go on to join the evil realm of the Shredder, where they are mutated into green, claw-like creatures called Shredders.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been featured in many different types of media since their creation. They appeared in both the popular comic book, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (written by Christopher Robin), as well as the animated cartoon series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (aired on Nickelodeon in the early 1990s). Additionally, they were the subjects of an award winning live-action documentary, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Heroes Never Die. Additionally, the Teenage mutant ninja turtles have featured heavily in various video games, such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Heroes in Need (vice versa for the Teenage Mutant Turtle video game). As a result, many younger children are familiar with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, making them able to engage in various forms of media with ease and enjoy them when so desired.

In recent years, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have taken a hiatus from their comic book appearances, allowing them to concentrate on numerous different things, including the live-action movies released in New York. In this new movie, New York City is under threat once again from the Foot Clan, who is trying to take over the city by capturing the weakened Shreddar. Due to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles appearing and interacting with various other elements in the New York City area, the real life Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came back into the forefront.

As a result of a terrorist group known as the Mayhem organization, Shredder kidnapped the teenage mutant ninja turtles and held them captive. The Foot Clan was made up of three members: Master Splinter, Krayka, and Shokka. However, the turtles managed to escape from their predicament when Shredder attempted to poison their livers. However, the turtles were discovered by the New York City police, who put a bounty on Shredder’s head. Along with the other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the New York City Police sought out the whereabouts of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and entered the sewer where the turtles were being held captive.

As the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles slept, the city of New York was invaded by the evil Shredder. He then imprisoned the turtles in his personal lab in order to develop a serum that he intended to use on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to transform them into his undead army. The only power the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles possessed their minds that the villains was able to use against them. As the serum was being formulated, Shredder injected the turtles with an experimental serum that transformed them into the evil counterparts of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

There have been many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book series since the cartoon became popular. One of the most recent additions to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book world was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series written by Neil Gaiman. In this new series, the evil Shredder is attempting to merge the mystical ninja turtles with his army of undead ninjas. He was defeated when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles broke free and fought and ultimately destroyed him.
