Biography
A businessman wearing a purple leisure suit who was ultimately responsible for the death of the Mighty Mutanimals, when he contracted a group of cyborgs to kill them. The death was highly controversial and somewhat gory as a spread of machine-gun bullets tore the group down. He was also responsible for a three-part story arc in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles storyline including the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse; Death, Famine, War, and Pestilence. Null himself seemed to be somehow the leader of the group, giving orders to Death who in turn controlled the other horsemen like puppets. Null seemed to be somehow linked to hell. Originally the character had two small horns projecting from his forehead, and with every new deed of evil he committed he grew more demonic in appearance. Eventually he grew larger horns, a demon-like tail, and wings like a bat.
History
Null was a business man who initially appeared to be little more than a minor enemy to the TMNT, he was involved in projects that were destructive to the environment, heading up projects that involved slash and burn destruction of the South American Rain Forest, and dumping Toxic Waste into the Ocean. It was soon revealed that Null had sold the Earth to the alien Warlord Maligna, making the deal through her generals Scul & Bean, and was trying to exterminate mankind. To this end he struck a deal with a group of demons known as the Four Horsemen. But Null's plans were thwarted by the combined efforts of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mutanimals however. Null later created a team of cyborgs known as the Gang of Four, this team murdered the Mutanimals, but were destroyed by the Ninja Turtles. Null eventually met his demise at the end of the "Terracide" storyline, where Slash sacrificed himself to keep Null and Maligna from escaping Maligna's hive ship as it crashed into the sun.
