Venus Di Milo?

[Pepsi Jedi]

Here's a question, brought up by my wife the other day. I was talking about pizza making me think of the TMNT, and she asked "Wasn't there a female turtle?" and I go "Yeah.... ---Kinda---, Venus Di Milo... " and went on to explain about her and such.

Here's my question to you all though. Do you consider Venus Di Milo canon in your games, or even in the TMNT universe all together? If so, or if not, why?

I know the 'controversy' but I'm curious as to your opinions on this character.

I barely remember the character but not being rigidly worshipful of canon I really wouldn't have problems with her in a game, provided I had decent stats on her and an understanding of the character.

I don't because she was only in one incarnation. I consider her part of an 'alternate world TMNT'. Plus Peter Laird hates the character.

TMNT and Other Strangeness was based on the original TMNT comics published by Eastman and Laird. Venus de Milo was a character created for a Live Action TMNT production called "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation". So, as MikeM, she's canon for an alternate setting.

As far as the continuity of the TMNT RPG, the Mirage Studios comics are the canon by which you should go by.

HOWEVER, that should not stop anybody from taking their game in whatever direction they want. If they want to run their game based on any of the movie, cartoon, comic series, or combination there-of, go for it.

This best describes it.

I don't hate the character. I may or may not put her in my game if the PCs run into the turtles.
