Line 212:
* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Fred Wolf cartoon.

* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Fred Wolf cartoon.
* [[Fainting]]: Occurs after she first sees the turtles in every incarnation.
{{quote| '''Michelangelo:''' She ain't no fun, she fainted.}}

Line 224:
* [[Motherly Scientist]]: In the IDW Comics, where she becomes quite attached to the pre-mutation turtles and even gives them their names.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: In most adaptations Splinter and April strike up a deep but rather strange friendship. April is sometimes perplexed by the various personality quirks of each turtle while Splinter is exasperated having seen this all before.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Mirage comics.
* [[Race Lift]] (Mirage comics): Although her race was never established within the comics, or even agreed upon by the creators, Kevin Eastman used to draw her with distinctively non-caucasian features, which went away when he stopped drawing.

* [[Magic Pants]]: Averted the first time he transforms, but played straight on all subsequent occasions.
* [[Only One Name]]
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: We never actually see Carter at college. Either his attendance rates are lousy, or his college has one heck of a long summer break.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Halfway through the final season, he's taken away to the future to get his mutation cured. We never see or hear from him again, so whether or not the cure was successful, we'll never know.
 
=== Renet ===
Line 348:
** The Utrom Shredder was one in an alternate [[Bad Future]]. Even before that there was an episode in the 1987 cartoon with the same premise of Shredder being ruler of the world in a [[Bad Future]], however, due to the decay he suffered in that version, he was more inept than evil on that occasion and even wanted to go to a world where he wasn't ruler.
* [[Healing Factor]]: 4Kids cartoon.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Holy crap, it's [[The Fresh Prince of Bel -Air|Uncle Phil!]] In the 1987 version anyway.

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Body Horror]]: In 4Kids' "Insane in the Membrane," after four seasons of losing body parts, Baxter Stockman finally obtains a new body via cloning. Soon enough, however, he discovers that it's unstable, as his limbs start deteriorating and melting off. Worse still, his mind is going with it...

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: In the Fred Wolf cartoon, he agrees to help Shredder even though he approaches him on the streets in his full villainous garb and it gets worse from there. Even when Baxter turns into a fly as a result of Shredder sending him to Dimension X, as all it takes for Baxter to change from wanting revenge on Shredder to wanting revenge on the turtles is Shredder telling him that it was the turtles' fault.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: His motivation in both cartoons. Ironically in the 4Kids cartoon he actually does eventually get his body back while in the [[Lighter and Softer]] series, he ends up [[And I Must Scream|trapped forever in dimensional limbo]].
Line 433:
* [[The Starscream]]: To the Shredder, in the 4Kids cartoon.
* [[Third Person Person]]: The 4Kids version is prone to this when gloating.
* [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]: In the 4Kids series. He used to be a fairly benevolent and principled scientist too until his ego and arrogance got the better of him.
* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]: Mirage Comics, 4Kids series.
* [[Wetware CPU]] (Mirage Comics, 4Kids series): As loses more and more of his body, Baxter begins becoming this.

Line 492:

=== Bebop and Rocksteady ===
Line 512:
* [[Musical Theme Naming]]
* [[Pig Man]]: Bebop.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Fred Wolf series, Archie comics.
* [[The Quincy Punk]]
* [[Rhino Rampage]]: Rocksteady.
Line 531:
* [[Cyborg]]: 4Kids series.
* [[Dead All Along]]: During the {{spoiler|"City at War"}} arc ({{spoiler|Mirage series}}).
* [[Depending Onon the Artist]]
* [[Healing Factor]]: As The Slayer (4Kids series).
* [[Invisibility]]: As The Slayer (4Kids series).
Line 542:
=== Tokka and Rahzar ===
{{quote| A snapping turtle (Tokka) and wolf (Rahzar) mutated by the Shredder.<br />
'''Appears in:''' [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Filmfilm)|Films]], Fred wolf cartoon, 4Kids cartoon }}
 
* [[Advertised Extra|Advertised Extras]]: In ''[[Turtles Forever]]''.
Line 560:
* [[Big Bad]]: For the last two seasons of the Fred Wolf cartoon, replacing Krang and Shredder.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: After trying to defeat the Turtles by force fails, he tries using propaganda against them.
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]: Initially.
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: Dregg is a ''lot'' more willing to punish failed subordinates than Krang or Shredder ever were, to the point of giving his right-hand man a [[Fate Worse Than Death]] in the Season 10 premiere.
 
Line 577:
* [[Opposites Attract Revenge]]: Yoshi's love triangle with Oroku Nagi over Tang Shen would help to set up a [[Cycle of Revenge]].

* [[Technical Pacifist]]: In the IDW Comics.
 
Line 595:
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Mirage}} continuity.
* [[Team Pet]]: Curiously enough, subverted. He's a completely normal cat who never gets involved in the stories and whose appearances are generally spent lying around on the floor or in someone's lap.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?|What Happened to the Cat?]]: When Shredder attacks April's apartment in issue 10, Klunk is nowhere to be seen, and isn't even mentioned when April, Casey and the Turtles escape. (This is doubly frustrating because he was explicitly shown to be in the apartment in the ''Leonardo'' special, which takes place ''immediately'' before.) He remains unmentioned for several issues before he shows up on Casey's farm with no explanation at all.
