Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids. |
Oxy, later named Oxymoron, is an animal-born mutant ox who was a resident of Louie's farm.
History[]
Louie Columbus, brother of Christopher Columbus, stayed on a mystical farm that drifted between two realities instead of returning with Christopher to Spain. He became the caretaker of the farm and raised livestock as well as grew crops.
When the farm came back to the primary reality in 1993, Oxy and one of the goats of the farm, Kid, escaped to explore New York City. They took a subway train, but were thrown off by security. Oxy and Kid roamed the sewers and took a drink from some of the flowing water, which contained mutagen. Oxy and Kid mutated into anthropomorphic forms, with Kid deciding to go by Kid Cortex and Oxy by Oxymoron.
Kid, with his newfound intelligence, got the idea to start their own farm in the middle of Central Park. Doing so involved overtaking anybody who came into their newly-claimed territory, with Oxy as the muscle to oust any park patrons that came near. This brought them into conflict with the Ninja Turtles, who had incidentally met Louie earlier when he fell into a manhole. Although Oxy got a few solid licks in, the Turtles were too much for him. When they knocked Oxy into Central Park Zoo, Kid got the idea to unleash the zoo animals to fight their battle for them. The Turtles were overwhelmed by the zoo animals and retreated.
The Turtles went back to get Louie and have him talk sense into his goat and ox. They initially resisted, but once Louie reminded them of how much he cared for them, Kid and Oxy relented and agreed to return with him. Unfortunately, the 24 hours that the farm was allotted in this dimension had expired, and the farm - with Donatello minding it - disappeared into the other reality. Louie's Pasture
The farm only moved dimensions ocne very 100 years, and in addition to wanting to get Don back, the Turtles were fed up with Louie's germaphobia and obsessive cleanliness. Michelangelo summoned Cudley and had him take the Turtles, Louie, Oxy, and Kid to the dimension where the farm currently resided. Unfortunately, Louie's pig Sooey had also been mutated and had developed mind-control powers and taken over the farm. Sooey sicced Don and the farm animals on the Turtles, Oxy, Kid, and Louie. They fought them all off, but Sooey continued to prevail. Kid got the idea to taunt Sooey and rammed his behind, then leapt into a TNT barrel that happened to be nearby. Sooey ate the barrel and Kid rammed it while in his stomach, blowing Sooey up and demutating him but splitting him into a massive passel of normal pigs. Oxy feared his buddy dead, but Kid fell into his hands, injured but alive. The animals all stayed on the farm as Cudley returned the Turtles home. Pig Heaven

- Mutant ox physiology
- Brute strength
- Bullet-proof hide: Although not demonstrated in his appearances in the comic, Mutant Universe Sourcebook #3 states that his hide is immune to bullets.
- Intelligence: While his entire character is developed around his lack of intelligence, he did have enough wit to give himself a pun-based name, and also make a reference to Animal Farm (the latter of which even impressed Kid Cortex).
