As the result of falling off the building and into the dumpster, he mutates into a humanoid mutant made entirely out garbage with a banana peel cap, with a disgusting mouth capable of spewing slime, control over garbage and dissolving abilities that Joan Grody dubs "Muckman". Muckman is convinced by Joe his eyeball to be a hero when he finds the Purple Dragons mugging a man and manages to beat them up. The man witnesses the action and makes it to Joan Grody's show, becoming New York's new sensation. When the Turtles and April find Muckman and Joe Eyeball, Muckman blames the Turtles for his mutation yet both groups had to leave before Joan Grody could get a full glimpse of the Turtles. Upon seeing the news of Muckman, Rocksteady and Bebop plan to take advantage of this and look for Muckman. When Rocksteady and Bebop find Muckman, he thinks they are with the Turtles until they claim that they aren't with them. He asks if the Turtles mutated them too and they says yes. Muckman is convinced by Rocksteady and Bebop to help rob an abandoned Kraang lab claiming it contains a cure, and Joe Eyeball becomes suspicious of Rocksteady and Bebop's motives. The Turtles catch up to them as Muckman begins to attack. Bebop tells Muckman to get the chemical while he and Rocksteady get the Turtles. Muckman joins the fight and the Turtles are defeated. The Turtle try to reason with Muckman but they are all knocked out by Bebop's grenade. Rocksteady throws Muckman into the lab and is blasted by the Kraang's traps. Muckman finds the chemical and is blasted by another trap. Rocksteady takes the chemical from Muckman who is then helped by the Turtles. Muckman shoots slime at Rocksteady and Bebop, who retreat when the chemical explodes. Muckman covers up the Turtles existence by telling Joan Grody that they were just people in costumes like The Pulverizer.
