Is ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' Hinting at This Storyline?
The Big Picture If there's one thing to take away from Teenage Mutant NInja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, it's that the filmmakers love nearly every aspect of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mythos. There's call outs to the Heroes in a Half-Shell's creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. There's a scene that perfectly replicates the cover to the very first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book.
In the original Mirage comics, the Utroms were a race of scientific explorers who crash-landed on Earth. When the Turtles ended up infiltrating the TCRI to help heal a wounded Splinter, they ended up being teleported across the galaxy and battling other alien races, including the warlike Triceratons. Eventually the Utroms helped heal Splinter and departed from Earth. Other versions of the Utrom, particularly Krang, have been depicted as a warlike race that spreads its influence over the galaxy.
In fact, the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series would take a curveball by revealing that the Shredder wasn't really Oroku Saki — he was a Utrom warlord named Ch'rell! Vicious and cunning, Ch'rell would be the one Turtles foe who nearly wiped out the Heroes in a Half Shell. In fact, he almost destroyed all reality during Turtles Forever.
