Bebop

Bebop and Rocksteady were formerly human members of a New York City street gang hired by Shredder. Rocksteady was originally a short, stocky blond Caucasian man who wore army camouflage pants (later replaced by simple beige pants) and occasionally an army helmet in his mutated form, while Bebop was a taller African American man with a purple mohawk. Along with other gang members, they were dispatched to stop Channel 6 reporter April O'Neil from filing a report on city crime. April fled into the sewers while being pursued by the gang and encountered the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who defeated the gang in combat.
Following this humiliating defeat, Shredder devised a plan to mutate gang members so they would possess abilities comparable to the Turtles'. Bebop and Rocksteady both volunteered for the procedure (though neither fully understood what it involved), hoping it would allow them to exact revenge on the Turtles. Bebop was mutated into a human warthog, and Rocksteady into a rhinoceros. Although the transformation increased their size and strength, they remained incompetent simpletons and were entirely ineffective at stopping the Turtles or executing Shredder's plans. For instance, in "Enter the Shredder," they charged at the Turtles, who jumped over them, causing Bebop and Rocksteady to crash into each other. Donatello remarked that their mutations did not "up their IQ's any." Throughout most of the series, they served primarily as comic relief. In one episode, Bebop was shown keeping a pet turtle that was mutated into the villainous Slash.
