Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Baxter Stockman is a prominent recurring character in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. He is typically portrayed as a brilliant but ethically challenged scientist.

Initially, Stockman is often depicted as a timid inventor who is manipulated and exploited by Shredder and the Foot Clan. He creates the Mousers, small robotic exterminators designed to eliminate pests but repurposed by Shredder as weapons.

His character often undergoes a transformation after facing repercussions for his failures or betrayals. He is frequently mutated, either intentionally or accidentally, into a monstrous form, most commonly resembling a fly. This mutation typically grants him enhanced strength and agility but also leaves him increasingly unstable and vengeful.

Throughout various iterations of the TMNT storyline, Stockman remains a dangerous adversary to the Turtles, using his scientific expertise and often bizarre mutations to plot against them. While his origin and ultimate fate vary depending on the specific continuity, his role as a brilliant but ultimately self-destructive villain remains consistent.
