In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Frank is a karate student of Kristoff Van Bradford.

Physical Appearance[]

Frank is a young boy with short straight blonde hair with bangs, black eyes, brown skin, and a lean figure. He wears a black sleeveless karategi with a red belt.

After Frank's Komodo Dragon Karate Dojo versus Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu match, his right arm is atrophied.

Personality[]

Frank is quiet and unassuming, however, he is a force when it comes to karate. Frank hates losing and can get so angry that he severely injures himself in his frustration. However, he isn't unreasonable and is willing to stop the Komodo Dragon Dojo versus Lou Jitsu Dōjō match when April O'Neil offers.

History[]

Frank debuted in "Fists of Furry". He appeared with the rest of his Komodo Dragon classmates at the Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu to bully its students. He later was selected to fight for the Komodo Dragon Dojo against April. After injuring his hand during the match, Frank absorbed power from a Komodo dragon Yōkai via a bite to secure his win. However, he forfeited after April threatened him with the Seven Deadly Vipers move. Frank and his classmates then left the tournament arena after Kristoff Van Bradford was bitten by the same Yōkai.

  • Komodo power: Frank gained an immense amount of strength in his right arm after being bitten by a Komodo dragon Yōkai.

Enemies[]
