Retro-Mutagen

Retro-Mutagen is an antidote to the effects of the regular mutagen.

History

• The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman - After a long time trying, Donnie created the antidote so he could cure Kirby and Splinter. Baxter and Rahzar also wanted it to cure themselves, but in the end the turtles won and cured Kirby, although the other sample of retro-mutagen Donatello had created was destroyed.
• Return to New York - Baxter mentions he's experimenting arthropods DNA to develop a cure.
• Serpent Hunt - Donatello reveals he's been working on a new batch of retro-mutagen in the last months.
• The Pig and The Rhino - Donnie had made three spray canisters of retro-mutagen in hopes of curing Karai. He gave one to himself, Leo and Raph while splitting up to locate Karai. Bebop and Rocksteady learned about this and wanted to cure themselves of their mutations, but got into a fight to see who gets it first. When Leo sprayed retro-mutagen on Karai, it has no effect due to her unique and special mutation according to Donnie.
• Battle for New York - Michelangelo accidentally created a super retro-mutagen formula that can transform huge amounts of mutagen into retro-mutagen. The turtles stole a technodrome and used its mutagen tank to unmutated the whole population of New York.

Trivia

• Donatello has stated each dose of retro-mutagen requires ten canisters of mutagen to synthesize properly
• April's unique DNA is the key ingredient, due to her apparent immunity to mutagen.
• A similar serum was created in the 1987 series by Donatello in Splinter No More to return Splinter to his human form. Unlike the Retro-Mutagen, the effects were temporary.
• When Donatello asks Michelangelo what did he use to create the super retro-mutagen, Mikey made up a few components' names, but the first one, Uranate [[1]], is an actual substance.
  • The other components he said he used were: Anolite, monic acid and some garlic-cappuccino pizza.
