In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic books, the Burroughs Aquarium in Jersey City, New Jersey is the former workplace of Jack Finney, the human oceanographer who would mutate and become Man Ray a.k.a.

2012 TV series[]

According to 2012 TV series show writer Kenny Byerly, the ugly, stinky place that Michelangelo thinks is beautiful, where the Turtles end up after their wild subway ride at the end of the episode "It Came From The Depths", was originally not a sewage plant as its appearance suggested, but was meant to represent a common sight of New Jersey itself.[citation needed]

Rise of the TMNT[]

In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, New Jersey is sometimes mentioned by Leonardo, always disparagingly. "The Evil League of Mutants" takes place in New Jersey, as does "Raph's Catchphrase".
