Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem doesn’t just feature radically different versions of the title heroes; it also boasts several other mutants. Though some of them are deeper cuts than others, many of these mutagenic creatures should be familiar with hardcore fans of the franchise. These characters didn’t debut in the classic cartoon or the original comic books, but they did feature heavily in one of the franchise’s most underrated adaptations.The Mighty Mutanimals are a companion group to the Ninja Turtles made up of similarly mutated animals. The roster of the team and how they came to form their group has changed over the years, but they got their start in a somewhat overlooked spinoff comic book. That comics’ legacy has lived on through other books, cartoons and now a movie, giving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles some much-needed allies in various continuities.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures was first released in 1988, running for 72 issues until 1995. Like most tie-in comic books with the “Adventures” tagline, it started out as an adaptation/continuation of the concurrent cartoon. As time went on, however, this book from Archie Comics would differentiate itself quite a bit from the world of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. The stories were wildly divergent, and that included the origins of various characters. This saw the series add several other characters who were just as mutated as the turtles themselves. Among these were the formerly human Man Ray, who mutated into a humanoid manta. He would later change his name to Ray Fillet, with his mutagenic menagerie dubbing themselves the Mighty Mutanimals.RELATED: TMNT: Mutant Mayhem Radically Changed an Iconic Species – For the BetterRELATED: TMNT: Mutant Mayhem Director Compares Shredder to Heath Ledger’s Joker
