Mondo (Archie)

Mondo started his life as a human teenage boy playing in the local metal band "Merciless Slaughter" who practiced in Shredder's old hideout. One day, Mondo accidentally got mutagen on him and because his latest contact was with his pet lizard he carried on his shoulders, he mutated into a talking human lizard. His girlfriend, Candy Fine, decided to split up with him. Later, he became a member of the team known as the Mutanimals and eventually got back together with his girlfriend Candy.

After cancellation, the Mutanimals received their own 7-part backup-series in the pages of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures beginning in issue 48 and ending in issue 54. This series saw the assassination of the Mutanimals at the hands of the high-tech Gang of Four. Issues 55-57 continued the aftermath of their death and its effect on the Turtles' storyline.

This version of Mondo made a brief appearance in All Tomorrow's Yesterdays.
