Villain(s) of the Month - Edition N°12

Hellcome in my journal, and for this month, I'll not talk only about one fictional villain, but two, 'cause their are a duo and it's impossible to talk about only one. They are among my childhood villains, those who marked my mind and I'm still fan of them today.
They are among the most important and famous of the Ninja Turtles, but not enough shown on screen. The mutants: Bebop the warthhog and Rocksteady the rhino.

In the 2016 movie

In their story, Bebop and Rocksteady were once humans, and more specifically, two cirminels, who were happy to commit crimes and terrify the people of New York. But their lives of little gangsters changed when they entered the service of the Foot Clan, led by Shredder. The evil ninja master, wanting to create an invincible army of creatures, obtained a radioactive liquid, very similar to the mutagen that transformed the Ninja Turtles. Shredder decided to test the liquid on Bebop and Rocksteady. The two men, initially hesitant, do not have the choice and by force, are injected fluid in the body. For each, the result is different: Bebop becomes humanoid warthog, but keeps his clothes, his purple crest punk and his strange glasses. Rocksteady becomes rhinoceros very aggressive, and keeps a somewhat biker style. Since their transformation, they became the Shredder rights arms, his super-soldiers. They perform missions and orders that Shredder gives them, and with their new appearance, the two criminals take even more pleasure in causing destruction around them.

In the 1987 TV series

If Bebop and Rocksteady are capable of causing major damage thanks to their superhuman strength, the two mutants are not very smart and usually lead to a disaster that frustrate or make fail the plans of Shredder. They do not always understand what their leader says, what irritates Shredder and forces him to repeat. But it's this stupidity that in a sense, also makes the charm of Bebop and Rocksteady, which makes them more endearing to fans.

The complicity of Bebop and Rocksteady seems very strong. They consider themselves even as brothers, and one wonders if maybe, they are friends since childhood. 

Their popularity with fans became so great that today, just as Shredder and Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady are considered the greatest enemies of the Ninja Turtles. Personally, I'm a big fan of Ninja Turtles, Bebop and Rocksteady were among the first villains of my childhood, and even today, I see them as such. When I saw their appearance in the trailer for the movie, I was like an excited child. Finally, they appear in a movie Ninja Turtles. Yes, because despite their popularity, Bebop and Rockteady are often underestimated and not sufficiently exploited. For the 2016 movie, the result is very satisfactory, their designs and their characters were very well respected and the actors are really good in the roles.

Bebop and Rocksteady deserve their place in the most iconic fictional villains.

See you next month guys \m/
