K’Vathrak (2012 TV series)

The Newtralizer is a character that debuted in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series). He is an amalgam of characteristics of a rejected toy design for playmates by Ryan Brown and a character created by Ciro Nieli whilst in elementary school. Due to The Newtralizer's costume, he is likely a parody of Marvel's The Punisher with inspiration provided in part by Judge Dredd.

Appearance
The Newtralizer is a heavily armored, mutated Fire Belly Newt. He is primarily black, with an orange underbelly. The coloration of his underbelly forms a skull pattern. He is very muscular and bulky, easily dwarfing the Turtles. His armor set includes a belt, a pair of shoulder plates (the right plate is far larger than the left), two straps that connect the belt and shoulder plates, a pair of armored bracelets, a pair of leg holsters with pouches and ammo types attached to them, and a pair of axe blades attached to his tail. He also wears a backpack with an antenna sticking out. It is likely a radio, but it's exact purpose is unknown. He also carries three Kraang tentacles as trophies tied to his belt.

Abilities
Like most mutants that start as animals, he has increased intelligence, though not enough to speak but enough to operate advanced weaponry. His weapons include lasers, missiles, sawblades, exploding mines, and he also has blades attached to his tail. The Newtralizer is capable of constricting a foe with his tail, and able to eat a Kraang brain whole. He possesses incredible strength and speed. He is also shown to be quite durable, with or without his armor, as he was able withstand attacks from numerous Kraang lasers, Leo's katana, Raph's sai, even after getting crushed by Mikey attempting to drive a car, he still survived without any visible dents, bruises, scratches or an injury of any kind.

Behind the Scenes

 * The pattern on his chest resembles a skull
 * The Newtralizer is capable of fitting a whole Kraang in his mouth. His tongue is white.
 * He is intelligent enough to strap on Kraang weapons and operate a gun.
 * Ryan Brown created a design for an action figure of a character named The Newtralizer for the original toy line, which was rejected. The two characters are completely unrelated other than their name/species and hatred for Kraang/Krang.
 * The Kraang he attack to retrieve his weapons called him criminal and Shredder called him "the Kraang alien creature" which give a hint that he is from Dimension X.
 * Donatello gave him the name "Newtralizer", but asked Kirby O'Neil not to mention it Mikey as he prefers to name their foes.
 * Though the Turtles and Newtralizer's first encounter was as adversaries, it has been hinted that he indeed will become an ally to the Turtles in future installments of the Nick show.
