spits a rise leatherhead concept at you, ive been working on this for a few months thats why theres a difference in art
he was always my fave other mutant so i wanted to put him in rise, he fights in the battle nexus (theres no way big mama doesnt start that back up, she still controls most of the underground) and the turtles meet him a bit after the movie (when raph is 18 or so leo 17 etc, i think leatherhead would be about 19 or so, still pretty young like them)
in this concept, leatherhead was one of draxums experiments right before he made the final adjustments to create the turtles (and before he had splinters dna). he doesnt heal as fast as them, and he has the same feral outbursts of anger he does in the other shows due to the mutagen still needing tweaks (and the collar big mama has on him makes them worse). singing is his true passion.
id be cool if raph and him could bond over being ashamed of having 'savage' outbursts sometimes, and if it makes mikey confront some of the more heinous and life ruining things draxum did to create them. also donnie finally gets a friend to geek out with abt tech. and leo also is here (hes kind of relishing in stealing from big mama again 'just like old times')
