Mr. Marlin is the main antagonist of the episode "Hunted." He is a fanatical big game hunter and through this obsession tried to kill the Ninja Turtles and Leatherhead for sport.
Personality[]
In his 2003 incarnation Marlin is shown to be a very stubborn and tenacious hunter, who never allows himself to be diverted from his prey. He is after only "exotic", challenging prey and cares not a whit about how his victims must feel or whether they are capable of feelings at all (such as Leatherhead).
Marlin also does not seem to be very sociable; except for his robot helper which he affectionately names "Amelia" and his hunting rifle "Betsy".
History[]
In the 2003 animated series Marlin appears in the episode "Hunted". In this version he uses a helper robot named "Amelia", and his "Betsy" is a high-powered laser gun in this case. Marlin is presumably killed in the climax of this episode by the explosion from his damaged rifle; his real current status remains unknown.
Trivia[]
- His obsession with trying to find the next big hunt, makes him similar to the Spider-Man villain Kraven the Hunter. However unlike Kraven, he has no problem using guns.
- His robot Amelia is parody of R2-D2 from the Star Wars universe.
