Merdude

Merdude is a half-aquatic mutant character from Archie's Mighty Mutanimals corner of the TMNT universe, notable enough to earn his own solo spotlight series alongside the four Ninja Turtles.

Half-aquatic and wholly unique, Merdude splashed onto the scene in 1993 courtesy of creators Dean Clarrain and Mike Kazaleh in Mighty Mutanimals #7 — a Copper/Modern Age curiosity from Archie's beloved TMNT universe. This rare character earned his own dedicated spotlight in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Presents: Merdude, a distinction that speaks volumes in a world crowded with mutant personalities, and he shares his adventures with none other than Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo themselves. With only six catalog appearances, Merdude is a genuine deep-cut collectible — the kind of offbeat gem that serious Archie TMNT fans love to hunt down and treasure.
