Hmmm....WELL as you all know, I love tearing appart a show and theories, so lets look at the possiblities for and against :D

Pro:


 * We know that the Kraang and their mutagen for SURE have been around 15 years, and April being 1 year older than the turtles, could have been birthed before or after the Kraang officially came from Dimension X.


 * In these 15 years, the Kraang have been attempting to do various experiments and tests on the mutagen to make it work properly in our dimension.


 * It IS possible that the Kraang tried various experiments on humans through covert means, which means it is possible that they might have mutated human babies while in a hospital (I mean maybe that's how they created the first Ms. Campbell-bot?  Make a nurse to secretly invade the hospital and inject small amounts of the mutagen into the babies or patients), If they did this April might have actually made anti-bodies, or an anti-gent against the mutagen rather than mutate.  (and don't go 'they won't experiment on babies!' if they steal ppl off the street who the heck says they won't do that?)

Con:


 * The likelyhood of April being a Kraang hybrid is very low.  For 1) We aren't to sure how they reproduce, but since they seem to refer to the Prime, I'm guessing it's asexual, as they in general are genderless.  For 2) If we take the possiblity that the Kraang were around before April was born, we run into some very...disturbing thoughts.  It's easy to see the biological relationship between April and her father, so we're pretty sure that's her Daddy.  That being said, for her to have been a 'kraang' hybrid, the Kraang either set up some fake project and had all male scientists in NYC...um...send in their stuff, to which they then somehow invitro-ed a baby, and considering April thinks her mother died, either Kirby is really good at acting and keeping up the ruse, or there was a mother at some point.  If THIS seems frightening, the only OTHER possiblity is that the Kraang somehow created a sexbot.  Considering they're genderless, and human SPEECH seems to stump them, the idea of them created anything involving 'human-mating' seems impossible to me.


 * While the possiblity of April being a Kraang hybrid seems cool, it would bring ALOT of disturbing thoughts to a kid's show, which I doubt Nick would go for (if they wouldn't let Zutara happen, you think they're really gonna be cool with a human scientist and a floating brain?  Like Cat-Dog wasn't enough of a horrible creation of impossible questions for parents)

Pros of ANOTHER hybrid-alien species:


 * If she is a hybrid of an alien, I would be more inclined to believe a Human/ Neutrino hybrid.  Or if we wanna go REALLY far back in the comics, her mom COULD be Cherubae (doubt it but hey, great for theories! XD)

*Neutrinos are more reasonable because well, they look more humanoid, so escapees from DimensionX could probably pass as humans (if they're not like lepracaun sized like in the '87 show XD), and Kala in the '87 series seemed to have something going on with Mikey, and humans definitely look more Neutrinos more than like them than the turtles...so yeah there's that.

*Cherubae is probably the most far-flung theortical Mama out there, but she is a super powerful alien chick that looks humanoid and hates Krang, with the job 'Protect Dimension X from Krang'. Soooo, it's POSSIBLE in this incarnation she's a refugee from Dimension X who escaped the Kraang as they destroyed planets in Dimension X. And because we're NOT really sure WHERE Cherubae comes from (other than she chunked Bebop and Rocksteady on the Eden planet and was hanging out on Earth when Jess Harley was stupid enough to grab her turnstone from her and tick her off to get turned into Leatherhead) other than Dimension X and she's got control of a super-rock-ball called the turnstone, AND she's was on par with Krang in 'warlord' status. This could theoritically be that Cherubae escaped to Earth, keeping the powerful artifact called the turnstone safe. There she fell inlove with Kirby and had a baby and either her superpowers were infused in April, or the Turnstone was (Inuyasha moment there), or because of her hybridized DNA, April was able to unlock a power to become 'one' with the universe.

Why the alien/hybrid-alien involvement theory is intriguing:

*If this is a power that can be achieved by humans through years of study and meditation, as Splinter says, then why would a HYBRID of two different universes/dimensions/whatever the hell you wanna call it, be intuned with THIS one so much so that the Kraang want HER brain only? If Splinter has that kind of brain, there has to be others out there they can suck out and slushify. It would seem to me a hybrid of two dimensions wouldn't be able to click into the 'universe'-power. Then again, I'm thinking of usual hybrids in nature rather than in this world, where mutagen makes reasonably anthropormorphic animals. There is something that definitely makes April the super special princess in the tower, so much so it seems the Kraang are ONLY focused in NYC and after ONE GIRL. Is it an alien thing? Is it something to do with her soul? Magical gnome-munching pixies!? To quote Miwa 'WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT HER!?!'
