While initially introduced as a fugitive, the Fugitoid's story took a shocking turn when he discovered a terrifying secret about his origin that made him question everything he thought he knew about himself.

If you watched the whole video... who is the unknown ninja?

[chillenterprises]

I love Fugitoid, he is my favorite non-turtle character 😊 Thank you for making this video about him!

[skurvay]

I am so glad that a lot of the material from the Original Fugitoid story was used in the 2003 TMNT series.

[srstriker]

I wonder why the Fugitoid never appeared in the 1987 TMNT series because he could have been fun especially since he looks like C3po and that he would have come from Dimension X

[LeonDOro-ir]

Fugitoid & Triceratons are so integral to TMNT. neither get enough credit. they're underrated. Playmates should reissue both

[Russkafin]

I remembered the Fugitoid action figure but I never knew a single thing about him. This video was very educational!

[jonothanthrace]

I remember the Fugitoid figure being purely gold, it's so odd to see it having black highlights.

Just subscribed. Love your turtle 🐢 content 😊

[BriarShinn]

A video about Max Winters/Yaotl would be cool he is a very underrated "villain" who deserves to make a return in new TmnT media

I kind of thought that was where they were going with the question of whether or not the professors mine was transferred into the android, or if he just copied it, his memories into its core consciousness. It has an essential crisis to the character. The 80 W version may go through similar process himself.? But ultimately, I don't think it matters whether or not he's a copy or the original. He is still Professor Honeycutt through his actions and his decisions. That's what defines all of us.

[MrJonnyPepper]

I'm not sure I understand. If the fugitiod came out before the Ninja Turtles, then how could the Ninja Turtles appear at the end of his comic book?

[srstriker]

It’s hard to say about him being the original or not
Can we talk about Darius Dunn all versions.

[felestinastilton]

Thanks for such an informative video! I’m a huge Zayton Honeycutt fan, yet I’ve never heard about Mirage issues about his childhood and identity crisis (by the way can you tell me which one those are? I’d really like to read them!). Though, I always thought that all Fugitoid iterations are, indeed, a copy of Zayton (well except for 2012 Fugitoid because that one is an actual cyborg with a physical brain inside him). However - I agree with the point that it doesn’t really matter if he’s a copy or not. After all, the core traits of any person are memories, personality, the soul if you can call it that way - and Honeycutt still has all of them. His BODY was destroyed, yet his SOUL wasn’t - and that’s what most important for me

[thatguy-ynlf]

Remember when you had a pee sized brain and your only memory about the tmnt were that they’re ninjas ?

Concept

What if fugitoid 1987 built five or four robot daughters version of bubblegum crisis 1987 or sailor moon?

[tyronleung]

I wouldnt be surprised if george lucas was inspired by the tmnt triceraton gladiator arena scene for star wars attack of the clones battle of geonosis with anakin obiwan and padme being captured by count dooku and jango fett because George was a huge comic book fan adapting howard the duck as marvels first cinematic movie and peter laird dressed as a storm trooper in his college days and both eastman and laird often drew star wars art work so coincidence ?

[lightyearpig]

So the Fugitoid turned out to be a ship of Theseus situation, huh?

[jamesmoss]

The Fugitoid is a great tmnt character. 😀👍

[shoobaqueen]

i dont care if he's a copy or not i love him

also WHEN WAS RAPH BITTEN BY A VAMPIRE?!

[zachbahamutson]

Oh boy the whole thing about the fugitoid being Honeycutt or not is definitely a ship of Theseus scenario.
