Slash (Archie)

Slash was an alien anthropomorphic snapping turtle. Originally he lived on a world filled with lush palm trees. Slash's paradise would be shattered when invaders came and cut down all of his his precious trees. Slash soon came across the banished Krang and made a deal to help him back to Earth. Under Krang's leadership Slash teamed with Bellybomb and fought the turtles while Krang sought a new body...that of Shredder's.

Later in the series, Slash went on a rampage which drew the attention of the Mutanimals. After he was captured and imprisoned the Mutanimals broke him out and took him back to their island. Once awakened Slash continued his violent spree until subdued by Leatherhead. Now in a somewhat more peaceful state, the Mutanimals were able to calm him enough to inform him that he would be allowed to stay in a grove of lush palm trees he so loved. A grateful Slash strode off happily and would become an ally of his rescuers.

Later, Slash sacrificed himself to save the TMNT, Ninjara, and their future counterparts from a fiery death aboard a spacecraft that was hurled toward the sun. In the process, Slash's sacrifice killed the villains Null and Maligna.
