Thanks for watching!
What do you think of this version of Leatherehad? Which one is your favorite otherwise?

The best versions of Leatherhead are the one's where he's a good guy who lived a tragic life, and is an ally to the Turtles despite anger issues.

This Leatherhead looks terrifying

I'm really appreciating the chronological order in the video. Leatherhead is such a tragic and interesting character in the Mirage comics. It's a real pity he never got a happy ending.

leatherhead is personally the true fifth turtle it's weird how he's not more like mirage version in the 87 toon, I liked seeing him in a doctor coat in 2003

Always adored as a character. Beautiful then in the 2003 and 2012 series.
I have not read all the numbers. However, Leatherhead can be considered "chronologically" the first mutant of TMNT.

This version of Leatherhead is awesome and a complex well written character. That said the Ragin Cajun Gator version is my favorite version of him. No as well written or complex but he had so much character and Cajun Jim Cummings for a voice. Chef's kiss.

Leatherhead(along with Armaggon) has always been one of my favorite tmnt characters. The og toon is probably my favorite version. Love hearing anything about him. And I always have loved the old Alligator movie

Nice video! I would love to see the analysis of other versions of Leatherhead (especially the 2003 one) 🐊

My favorite Leatherhead is the 1987 cartoon version.

They crapped on him in mutant mayhem

Man poor Leatherhead just keeps doing Odin cosplays doesn't he? Like I know it comes back eventually, but man that cannot be pleasent.

There are gators in the New York sewers. There are documented cases of them being removed, watch the gator Jake video about it

Good work on the original Leatherhead, my friend! Can you make videos on Leatherhead of both TMNT 2012 and the IDW version for the future? And Leatherhead is my favorite character of both TMNT 2012 and IDW.

@micahmx6002 1 year ago

Are you redoing the past character videos that you've done or re-uploading them? Either way, is there a particular reason

@keithbrown8236 1 year ago

Does Terror by Transmat contradict the idea that the Turtles couldn't contact the Utroms? I know that Mirage was not the best at keeping these things in mind
