DW Publishing has revealed a new member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles named Jennika, designed by TMNT artist Sophie Campbell. But before we get to the (rather crazy) story of how Jennika came to be a Ninja Turtle as seen in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #95, view the new Ninja Turtle in her yellow mask and wielding a sword, bow, and claw weapon.

A human woman named Jennika, or Jenny for short, has been making waves in the series of late, as she is both the love interest of Casey Jones and a member of the Foot Clan. Though the Foot Clan is typically a villainous group, it was actually taken over by Splinter in this comic series, and hes been hard at work trying to reform them into something more honorable. Jenny has long been loyal to the ideals of the Foot Clan but often found herself conflicted with what was right and wrong. That was put to the test when former Foot Clan leader Karai confronted Jenny and asked for her help in retaking control from Splinter. When Jenny refused, Karai stabbed her.

The Ninja Turtles tried to rescue Jenny by bringing her to a lab where they planned to save her with the healing properties of the Ooze, but that plan was interrupted when they were attacked and the Ooze canister was destroyed by the Earth Protection Force bad guys and Metalhead. Desperate and running out of time to save Jenny, Donatello decided to use Leonardo to perform an emergency blood transfusion into Jenny, hoping Leos mutant blood would be enough to do the trick.

The transfusion proved to be successful, with Jenny surviving, but it had the unexpected side effect. of transforming her into a turtle!

Why didn't they just use Venus? This reeks of someone trying to leave their mark on the series with an OC instead of trying to tell the best story possible. Also, is Casey going to fuck a turtle?

Obviously you didnt watch Turtles the next mutation on fox kids. That's where she originated from, not a crossover.

It was horrible, and Venus was one of the worst characters I can remember in a show. I don't think anyone who cares about TMNT will mind her replacement.

1. Venus was awful
2. She didn't originate in the comics

This character has a better origin (even if it feels like an asspull) and feels more original.

I feel like her mask doesnt make sense with her backstory. Shes already a ninja and has her own unique outfit. Shes not part of the core set of turtles. It just seems like it's added because mutant turtles apparently must wear masks.

Id assume its because she was formerly human and is predisposed to being ashamed of nudeness whereas the OG turtles were always turtles and thus dont have that issue.

Obviously, female Renaissance artists weren't that numerable. I always thought Gentileschi would be the best inspiration for a female turtle. Might be a little tough to remember, though; Raphael and Donatello weren't household names before TMNT, but their names are still easier to grasp.

Some people just don't like it when a creator self inserts. I don't really care too much myself. If the character is well written, that's good enough for me. Although, I can see why it would annoy others. Like another user said, this may be a temporary thing unless this character catches on.

Seeing that she turns into a turtle in the last panel in the latest comic... yeah.

The 1987 cartoon did it with Mona Lisa. Her episode was really popular, but one of the TMNT creators blocked her from ever appearing again because he had some kind of problem with there being female Turtles / female mutants. Considering April was a martial artist in the comics and there were female ninja like Karai, it's probably more of an anti-furry thing than it was any sort of sexism over women fighting.

It's an odd thing to get hung up on though. If men can be mutated, so too can women.

I think she's an ex-girlfriend of Casey's when she was human. I don't think they are a couple by the time she becomes a turtle.

There was also an episode where April was mutated into a cat.
