History
Hypno-Potamus was previously a successful hypnotist by the name of Mezmer-Ron, who performed magic tricks with a hippopotamus named Doug. He was mutated after the release of the Oozesquitoes, and began stealing the signature animals of other stage magicians.

The Turtles attempted to capture him, using a hippo costume and the scent of a female hippo. Hypno-Potamus found them just as Warren Stone was trying to entrap and kill them, and attempted to romance a hippo-suited Michelangelo. When the ruse was revealed, he began battling the Turtles, and eventually used his hypnotic powers to mesmerize them. He tried to kill Michelangelo first, but was thwarted by Warren, who used his blue jewel to reflect the hypnotic power back at Hypno-Potamus. This put Hypno-Potamus in a trance, allowing the Turtles to capture him.
