"I like it!"

Rocksteady is a member of the same gang as Bebop.

History
Rocksteady appears in the sequel to the 2014 action film. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Rocksteady and Bebop were originally two criminals being transported at the same time as the Shredder, after they escape during Shredder's rescue, he selects them as test subjects for a new variation of the Mutagen, which taps into dormant animal DNA in their system from a point before life on Earth began to evolve in different routes, causing them to mutate into their familiar states. As with most adaptations, Rocksteady is a powerful fighter but tactically limited; at one point Rocksteady attempts to shoot at the Ninja Turtles with a gun mounted on a tank while they are in a plane, resulting in him destroying the cockpit and sending the plane into a crash-dive.
