Though starting out on the side of evil, he would eventually change his allegiance after befriending the Mighty Mutanimals. The planet that he hailed from was lush, verdant, and filled with tropical greenery, essentially the comics' adaptation of his Binky from the cartoon. Archie's version of Slash wasn't a mutant, but rather an alien turtle who had traveled to Earth with Krang. The Archie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics initially followed the cartoon's continuity, but eventually diverged to forge their own path. RELATED: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: You Can Buy Leonardo's Rotting Corpse Slash (Archie Comics) Fitting the more one-dimensional, cartoony characterization of the show, this was the most outright villainous version of Slash. Slash's appearance is essentially an evil version of Donatello, and his bulkier frame is fitted with armor and swords that somewhat make him look like a pirate. Eventually, however, he becomes stuck in space, but Slash is perfectly fine with this, since the rocket that he's sent into space with has a small plastic tree. Slash is bigger and much stronger than the Turtles and is easily able to take them all on in a fight. His ensuing misadventures destroy the heroic turtles' reputation, leading to their facing each other. When his Binky is accidentally lost by Bebop and Rocksteady, he ventures to New York to search for it. This was especially the case if he were to lose track of his Binky, a toy tropical tree that was in his bowl before he was mutated. Perhaps as a result of their pouring too much of the mutagenic ooze on him, he was erratic, dim-witted, and prone to acts of violence.

In 'Slash - The Turtle from Dimension X,' he was initially a pet owned by the Shredder's lackey Bebop, who was mutated to do menial tasks for him and Rocksteady. The first incarnation of the character appeared in 1989 in the fourth season of the original TMNT cartoon.
