And now , the serial has added yet another new Turtle to the Hamato Clan , though this one is a moment different , as he was actually one of the original four - and still is .
The original four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are Leonardo , Donatello , Michelangelo , and Raphael . The first clip a Fifth Turtle was added to the mix was in the ‘ ninety live - action serial , Ninja Turtles : The Next Mutationwith the first appearance of Venus . However , that was incredibly short - hold up , and by the fourth dimension of the next iteration , Venus was pop off and the TMNT were back to the original four . skitter ahead to the current persistence of IDW Publishing , and the TMNT added Slash early on in the serial , makingSlash the first unofficial Fifth Turtlein this newly - establish canon .

Raphael IsTMNT’s Newest Member, & 1 Of Its First
InTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual - Out of Time#1 by Michael Walsh , Vlad Legostaev , and Santtos , the Turtles are being hunted by an older adaptation of Raphael from the time to come , who traveled back in time to pop Donatello . In Old Raph ’s substitute future , Donnie evidently did / invented something that sparked armageddon - indeed , Old Raph is attacked bythe cosmic shark Armaggonin the opening pages - and Old Raph is desperate to unwrap the damage he caused . However , when it came down to it , Old Raph could n’t pull the proverbial trigger , and he walk out from the spot having not completed his dark deputation . Although , Old Raph clearly is n’t out of the picture completely , as he is currently in the modern daylight ofTMNTcontinuity , preserve an eye on Donnie from afar , ensuring he does n’t invent whatever doomsday gimmick he ’s doom to create .
The paradoxical nature of Raphael ’s late inclusion on the very team he and his three brothers establish is fantastically interesting , and adds a new layer of intrigue to an already outstanding series . The dark futurity Old Raph is from was teased during theArmageddon Gameevent , as Donatello used his mystical powers to peer into the future tense for any mite at how to defeat the Rat King , though little did he bang , the Turtles ’ troubles went far beyond their clash with a blase immortal . Now that Old Raph exists in the past , and is presently on full ( enough ) terms with the Ninja Turtles , Donatello may finally happen the answer he ’s been look for for when it get along to this horrific futurity that somehow he may be responsible for , and Old Raph will be entire to that process .
Old Raph is a Modern Turtle recruit the likes of which the enfranchisement has never picture before . Not only is he the first ever tautologic member ( literally ) , but he is also assuredly the paint to stopping whatever terrifying future theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtleshave wait for them .
