Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids. |
Special Agent Ravenwood is an agent of the Earth Protection Force, appearing initially in the first issue of Bebop & Rocksteady Hit the Road. She has been a member of the organization since its inception in 1955, and was the subject of a failed experiment many years ago that left her with unusual physical qualities. This includes a body that can stretch, endure physical assaults from Bebop and Rocksteady, and split into multiple different "Ravenwoods."
Under her leadership, the E.P.F. searched for Bebop and Rocksteady, eventually tracking them to Houston. She encountered Xiang Fei Tong and the New Ghost Boys upon her arrival, and easily defeated the woman.
Ravenwood's search for Rocksteady and Bebop was seemingly thwarted when Savanti Romero teleported the pair away. But when a battle between Romero and the Time Lords broke out over Houston, she unsuccessfully attempted to talk down Bebop, and resorted to weaponry when she was unable to. Her helicopter was downed, but she was uninjured.
Ravenwood then interrogated Xiang and Hector Barrales, the latter informing her that Bebop and Rocksteady were heading back to New York. She attempted to reach out to the pair of mutants, believing that they were confused former animals in need of compassion and understanding, but soon learned that they were former humans with extensive criminal records.
She successfully captured the pair, but Agent Bishop and Doctor Shevlin attempted to kill her by remotely loosing their restraints. After pitting them against robotic doppelgängers, Ravenwood fought the pair, splitting her body into multiple masses of muscle, each with a head. However, this proved to be her undoing, as the pair destroyed all but one Ravenwood head, who escaped into the river. Bebop & Rocksteady Hit the Road #5
Much later, Ravenwood supervised an E.P.F. mission from a helicopter. Their intelligence had lead the E.P.F. to believe that a pair of mutants were fighting in a warehouse, when it was in fact Angel Bridge battling an Utrom assassin. While Angel struggled against the assassin, Alopex swooped in and took out the E.P.F. soldiers, prompting Ravenwood to leap out of the chopper and confront Alopex. Ravenwood wailed on Alopex and Angel, who had defeated the Utrom with an electric shock, thought to utilize her Nobody armor's gauntlet to do the same to Ravenwood before she could subdue her. This left Ravenwood's arm a tangled mess of tentacle-like structures that she couldn't retract back into an arm shape, as well as briefly paralyzed. She still tried to take control of the confrontation by insisting the stun was about to wear off, but Angel pointed out that all of her backup in the area was unconscious and was incredulous of Ravenwood's claim. She convinced Ravenwood to end their quarrel then and there, and as they were about to leave, Ravenwood sadly noted that they were just trying to find a safe home for Alopex (who wasn't even in the building the E.P.F. were staked out in front of). The Alliance #3
Personality[]
Ravenwood takes a more pragmatic attitude than Agent John Bishop, not subscribing to his call to exterminate all mutants, and indeed judging him the worst possible candidate for making first contact. Ravenwood does wish to stop mutants who make themselves dangerous to others, as Bebop and Rocksteady have, and likens them as monsters. But she also believes they deserve compassion, viewing humans as responsible for a mutants' anguish and personally relating to that anguish.
