Baxter Stockman (2012 TV series)

Baxter Stockman appears in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) voiced by Phil LaMarr. Like the Mirage and 2003 incarnations, Baxter is an African American. He debuted in the episode I Think His Name is Baxter Stockman.

History
Baxter Stockman used to work in a TCRI office complex in Brooklyn, but was fired over an incident with a broken copier machine. To get revenge, he built his own powered battle armor and tried to break into the building. The Turtles caught him and defeated him easily, leaving him in the trash when the police came. When they left, Stockman climbed out of the trash and found Donatello's invention, the T-pod. When he plugged it into his armor, the T-pod began upgrading it, making it bigger and stronger.

With his new armor, Stockman attacked the office he was fired from. The attack was reported on the news, revealing his identity to the Turtles, as well as showing them he had the T-pod. They tracked Stockman down to his hideout to get the T-pod back, but this time Stockman was too powerful for them. Then Stockman's armor upgraded itself again, and the Turtles had no choice but to escape back to the lair. Later, Stockman faced the Turtles a third time, but they had a better strategy. While Leo, Raph, and Donnie distracted Stockman, Mikey retrieved a beehive from a greenhouse and threw it into the suit's only opening. The swarm of bees stung Stockman from inside the suit, allowing Leo to break the T-pod. The powerless Stockman was defeated and thrown in the trash for the last time.

In Mousers Attack!, Stockman has begun to develop the Mousers. These proved to be a challenge for Leo and Raph's 'A-Team'. However, the Mousers had stolen various goods from the Purple Dragons, who were supported by The Shredder's Foot Clan. Fortunately, Stockman's technological skills (and enmity with the Turtles) saved him from the wrath of Dogpound, who is trying to find the whereabouts of Splinter.

After the Turtles defeated the Mousers and the Purple Dragons, Dogpound carried him over to the Shredder's lair. Shredder proceeds to threaten Stockman for the latter's disruption of his hunt for Splinter. However, Shredder spares him, commenting that Stockman's intelligence could be useful to him. Stockman merely sits there, frightened.

In "The Alien Agenda," Baxter Stockman creates a water-breathing rig and his prototype mechanical legs for Fishface. After Karai returned to Shredder's hideout with a Kraang body and the controls to it, Baxter Stockman gets to work on studying the machine so that he can get Fishface's mechanical legs operational.

Trivia

 * Baxter Stockman is included in Nick.com's "Mutation Station" gallery, which has the following description of him: "This neighborhood tinkerer was powerless until his robot suit paired up with Donnie's mp3 player and a drip of ooze!"  This is incorrect. When Stockman's armor is upgraded in his debut episode, there is no ooze involved in the upgrade.
