Biography
Krang having a craving for duck brain arranged for one to be transported to Dimension X, but a test pilot named Ace Conrad was caught in the transport beam and cross-mutated with the duck. After crashing his plane and landing in the sewers, he came across the Turtles and eventually found himself in their employment as the pilot of their Turtle Blimp. Even though he's employed by the Turtles, Ace is still their fearless, flying friend.

1987 Series
As with several action figures from the TMNT toy line, Ace Duck eventually made it into the cartoon series. Unlike the other characters in supporting roles, however, Ace Duck's appearance in the series was incredibly brief. In the third-season episode Attack of Big MACC, Michaelangelo was watching an Ace Duck film festival on television. Ace can be seen on the Turtles' TV screen in close-up, cackling in a manner highly reminiscent of Donald Duck, but his cameo is brief, lasting only seconds.
