After the introduction of a fifth turtle, <strong>Jennika<\/strong>, in Issue #95, and the death of sensei and father figure <strong>Master Splinter<\/strong> in Issue #101, the Turtles have gone through a lot of change recently. This change continues with the addition of a sixth mutant joining their ranks by the name of <strong>Alopex<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alopex is a mutant female arctic fox who has had a shady history with the <strong>Foot Clan<\/strong> and their leader,<strong> Shredder<\/strong>. Introduced all the way back in 2011 in a micro-series following <strong>Raphael<\/strong>, Alopex is actually the first character created by co-creator <strong>Kevin Eastman<\/strong> in 15 years. She first appeared as a regular arctic fox before being mutated by the Foot Clan and worked her way up the ranks as one of Shredder&#8217;s most loyal assassins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vignette.wikia.nocookie.net\/tmnt\/images\/6\/6a\/3183473-137419138653.jpg\/revision\/latest?cb=20130808215437\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Alopex before leaving the Foot Clan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, after turning on her former master and the Foot, Alopex has since become an ally to the Turtles, and even formed somewhat of a relationship with Raphael. She officially joined the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Issue #105, now sporting a green bandana mask to match with the rest of her new family. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, Donatello, Jennika, and now Alopex, are New York City&#8217;s leading defense against Foot Clan threats, and with Shredder gone, the TMNT will need all the help they can get when the next baddie arrives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/comics\/news\/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-new-member-alopex-idw-comics\/\">Comicbook.com<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThe new member of the TMNT family, Alopex, and her history with the Turtles.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=25544\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;A New Member Joins the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":25546,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[23,3,813],"tags":[2990,2993,2989,2991,2994,2992,675,716],"class_list":["post-25544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comics-2","category-comics-cartoons-anime","category-entertainment","tag-alopex","tag-donatello","tag-idw-publishing","tag-leonardo","tag-michelangelo","tag-raphael","tag-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles","tag-tmnt","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A New Member Joins the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=25544\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A New Member Joins the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The new member of the TMNT family, Alopex, and her history with the Turtles.
