Zed Larkin is a color commentator for the games, gladiator-type matches held in the Triceratons' Tri-Sports Arena.
History[]
Having been captured by the Triceratons, the Turtles are taken to the Triceraton Homeworlds and into the Tri-Sports Arena. Zed Larkin, the color commentator, announces them as "the quartet of snarling ruffians you love to hate: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". After they enter the arena, Zed Larkin then announces their opponents, the Triceraton All-Star Team, who Larkin says have been waiting to get the victory they were robbed of in their previous match. Then Larkin tells the cheering crowd that because their Prime Leader loves them so much, a new combatant will enter the ring. Larkin says that the new combatant hails from the very center of the universe, before announcing He-Man as the most powerful man in the universe. Turtles of Grayskull issue 1
As the combatants face one another, Larkin begins a commercial break for a sponsor, Nick's Space Jooz, the swill of champions. The fight begins, but the combined might of He-Man and the Turtles proves too much for the All-Star Team. As the audience begins to jeer and call for refunds, Larkin says that it looks like the crowd wants their money's worth and he agrees. He then says they will unleash another beast from the savage land of Eternia. Much to He-Man's dismay, Larkin announces that they will be facing Monstroid. Turtles of Grayskull issue 2
