TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES GAME 2003 SERIES

The name ' Splinter' also parodied Daredevil's mentor, a man known as ' Stick'. The Turtles' origin contained direct allusions to Daredevil: the traffic accident between a blind man and a truck carrying radioactive ooze is a direct reference to Daredevil's own story (indeed in the version told in the first issue, Splinter sees the canister strike a boy's face). Using money from a tax refund together with a loan from Eastman's uncle, they formed Mirage Studios and self-published a single-issue comic book that would pastiche four popular comics of the early 1980s: Marvel Comics' The New Mutants, which featured teenage mutants Cerebus, which featured anthropomorphic animals Ronin and Daredevil, which featured ninja clans dueling for control of the New York City underworld. Eastman and Laird often cited the work of Frank Miller and Jack Kirby as their major artistic influences. Laird suggested that they create a team of four such turtles, each specializing in a different weapon. The drawing of a short, squat turtle wearing a mask with nunchaku strapped to its arms was humorous to the young artists, as it played upon the inherent contradiction of a slow, cold-blooded reptile with the speed and agility of Japanese martial arts. The concept originated from a comical drawing sketched out by Kevin Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming with his friend Peter Laird.

The comic created the Turtles franchise of five television series, six feature films, numerous video games, and a range of toys and merchandise. Conceived by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, it was initially intended as a one-shot, but due to its popularity it became an ongoing series.
