Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids. |
The Mistress is a character who had first appeared in Tales of the TMNT vol. 2, #22, "Change of Power". A kunoichi who usurped Goseico from the Turtles' friend Gosei Hattori, she has ambiguous connections to the Shredder and claims that Hamato Yoshi wronged her family.
The Mistress' creator, Ross May, has revealed in his weblog that his intention was for The Mistress to be Oroku Saki's consort, and more importantly, Tang Amaya, the sister of Tang Shen. Misguided by her lover Saki, she believed that Hamato Yoshi was the malicious one in the Yoshi/Tang/Nagi relationship, and that he was responsible for her sister's death.
Trivia[]
- In the quasi-official fan comic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issue 24 (Image), much is revealed about the character. Here, it's shown that she is Lady Shredder (rather than Karai as initially planned). She also turns out to be the assassin called Headhunter who appeared in the Image prequel issue Big Bang Comics #10.
