Few franchises have enjoyed the longevity, popularity, and adaptability of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984, the franchise began as an independent comic book before evolving into a multimedia phenomenon spanning comics, television series, movies, video games, novels, toys, and countless other forms of entertainment.
At the heart of the franchise are four brothers—Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello—mutated turtles trained in the art of ninjutsu by their mentor and father figure, Splinter. Together, they defend New York City from criminals, mutants, aliens, and their greatest enemy, the Shredder. Over the decades, the Turtles have been reimagined through numerous continuities, each bringing its own unique interpretation of the characters, stories, and world.
