Physical appearance[]
Personality[]
Genghis Frog, a laid-back and opportunistic member of the Superfly family, initially supports his brother's plan to mutate the world, but after being swayed by the TMNT's warnings, he defects and joins forces with his siblings and the Turtles to stop Superfly, all while maintaining his carefree and eccentric personality, marked by a love for effortless eating, particularly of cats, which he justifies as "going with the vibe" and aligning with the flow of energy.
History[]
Baxter Stockman found that his research in mutagenics was going to be used by his employer for weapon development. Since he also desired a family to call his own, he took his work home with him, determined to raise the baby mutants as his children. However, a strike team was sent to reclaim his research, and Stockman was killed in the extraction attempt. The eldest mutant, a housefly who later began calling himself Superfly, liberated his younger siblings from the flaming premises and took them to raise them.
After they had gotten a little older, Superfly tried to introduce his family to human society, reasoning that even if some of them killed their father, they couldn't be all that bad. The only humans they encountered reacted with revulsion and abuse, and Superfly vowed at that point to hate humanity, and his family went along with it out of loyalty and because they didn't know anything different, but deep down they all felt like their eldest brother wasn't approaching the problem correctly.
Years later, under the guise of making a delivery of a part of Superfly's ooze humidifier, the Ninja Turtles met Superfly and his gang. When they met Genghis, they made fun of his short stature, which he didn't appreciate.
After the Turtles turned out to be double-crossing Superfly, the gang fought against them. Genghis, in particular, retaliated for the mockery at his height. Superfly forced the Turtles off an overpass and they were captured by a TCRI strike team. They escaped thanks to April O'Neil and Splinter, and regrouped at the gang's hideout in an abandoned ship off the coast of Staten Island. The Turtles rather easily convinced the gang to disapprove of Superfly's plan, and he attacked them, accusing them of betraying him. Genghis and the rest of the gang fought off their eldest brother and knocked him into his machine and out of the ship, which then mutated him further underwater, making him into a massive, multi-mutant "Superduperfly".
The Turtles, April, Splinter, and Superfly's former gang, along with the citizens of New York City, all worked together to stop Superduperfly. He was demutated and regressed to a normal housefly, and the former gang all went to live with the Turtles and Splinter in the sewers.
