Hun (2003 TV series)

Hun is one of the main villains in the second Ninja Turtles animated series, he is a large, hulking bully, powerful but skilled in martial arts. He is the leader of the Purple Dragons street gang and The Shredder's right hand man. Due to his working with The Shredder, he also works with Foot Clan.

He is voiced by Greg Carey.

2003 Series
When Hun and the Purple Dragons were younger, they burned down Arnold Casey Jones' (Casey's father) store and killed him. This caused Casey to develop a personal vendetta against Hun and the Purple Dragons. His favorite weapons beside his powerful, enormous fists are a metal-chain and a bazooka.

In this continuity, it was Hun that first entered the home of Hamato Yoshi in order to kill him and received a scar from his rat Splinter before the rat escaped. In other continuities where Hamato Yoshi was killed, it was Oroku Saki himself who was scarred (though such a twist would have made no sense, due to the nature of this version's Shredder).

During Season 3, Hun and Baxter Stockman have an uneasy friendship due to the fact they both serve the Shredder but are now considered expendable failures to him, as both have lost to the Ninja Turtles so many times - although unlike Stockman, Hun is still loyal to the Shredder despite being regular demoralized by his Master.

In the episode "Same As It Never Was", when Donatello is transported to a post-apocalyptic future courtesy of an enemy, Ultimate Drako, the Turtle find that Stockman's head is attached to Hun's body (due to an experiment of the Shredder's) and that they have joined the Turtles' rebellion army - although Hun is still loyal to the Shredder.

In every major battle, Hun falls off or down something and yells "crud", and is shown again.

Hun hates the Utroms, considering them as much freaks as the Turtles. He later finds out that the Shredder (Oroku Saki) is actually an Utrom and was shocked. He was left behind when Shredder leaves for outer space, after falling down a shaft with Leatherhead and surviving.

Hun changed the Purple Dragons from a lowly street gang to an organized criminal syndicate and begins big-time operations. Hun now doesn't seem to like the Shredder after learning he is an Utrom and even asks Karai how could she serve the Shredder knowing that he was an Utrom.

Behind the Scenes
Hun was created especially for the 2003 cartoon series. Initially, Peter Laird was not fond of the character, but later declared that he was one of his favorite new characters created for the series, as Hun was further fleshed out. Laird hinted for some time that Hun may make his way into the Mirage universe. On August 6, 2008, Tristan Jones confirmed that Hun would make his way into Tales of the TMNT #56 - a re-tooled version of his scrapped character Copperhead, who in turn, was based on Hun from the beginning. Jones' blog revealed Hun's full name in the comics to be Hunter Mason.
