Bugman, no!
I destroyed you!

Wrong, Dr. Dome!
Or should I say, Dr. Dumb.

Bug off, Bugman.

One blast of my
Raid-o gas bug b*mb,

and you go splat.

[HACKING, COUGHING]

Raid-o!

[COUGHING]

[LAUGHS]

Michelangelo!

Uh, what? Huh?

Hey! Come on, man.

I'm at the most
epic part!

Man?

Is that how you refer to me?

What is next?
Rat-face dude guy?

I'm sorry, Master Splinter.

But this is critical!

Bugman just got zapped
by Dr. Dome

and I have to see
how he gets out of it.

Consider yourself zapped

by me

and you are not going
to get out of it.

You are late for
ninja practice.

Bugman will have to
struggle without you
for the next hour.

[GROANING, MARTIAL ARTS CALLS]

Three perfect throws...

blindfolded.

♪ Well, hey, there, bro
It's Michelangelo ♪

♪ The great but late ♪

♪ Michelangelo, whoa ♪

♪ Cool your jiving,
hear my rap ♪

♪ and watch my hook
go whap, whap, whap ♪

All right.
Not even Bugman
could do that.

h*, whoa.

That's music to my ears.

Especially since my
eyes aren't working.

[ELECTRICAL STATIC]

Huh? What?
Come on!

Grab your flashlights, guys.

Let's find out
what's happening
with the electricity.

Hey, compadres,
what's going on?

Don't leave a dude
in the dark.

Very funny.

Turn the lights out
on a dude wearing
a blindfold.

I'm laughing so hard
I could bust a gut.

Well, the joke's on them,

'cause I get to go
back to Bugman.

[MAN]
Help! Help!

Help!

If that's another
one of their gags,

those dudes picked
the wrong sucker.

Help!
Help!

Whoa, that's no joke!

[WEAKLY]
Help...

Hang on, dude,

help is one the way!

A turtle's gotta do
what a turtle's gotta do.

Phew...

Coming around?

Oh, good.

You'll be okay
in just a few--

The chains!
Get rid of them!

Quick!
Hurry!

Huh?
Chill out, dude.
It's just a--

Don't you understand?

It's leestanite!

Leestanite!

[SCREAMS]

Oh, thanks.

That stuff robs
me of my power.

I can't move.

You're Brick Bradley!

Uh-huh.
That's right.

You know me?

Know you?

If you're Brick Bradley,

and you're affected
by leestanite,

then there's only
one dude you could be!

You're Bugman, man!

That's right.
I'm Bugman.

And I'm counting on you
to keep my identity a secret.

I have many enemies.

I know.
I have many comic books.

You're my favorite mutant
super-hero of all time!

Eh, coming from you,
that's saying something.

You must promise you won't
tell anyone I'm here.

Dude, on my shell
and hope to die.

I won't even
whisper it to anyone.

Thank you.

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Bugman himself
is staying in my pad!

Woo-hoo!

Well, I said
I wouldn't whisper it.

I'm still a little weak
from the leestanite.

Well, maybe while
you get your strength back,

you could kinda tell me
how you got here.

Sure thing, if you'd like.

All right!

Tubuloso!

I just love a good
flashback, don't you?

I guess my story
begins when I was a kid.

I'd always been fascinated
by insects of every sort.

By the time I got to college,

I knew I was going
to make entomology,

the study of insects,
my life's work.

I was obsessed with
the effects of light spectrums
on different species.

Termites, spiders, flies,

grasshoppers, wasps,
scorpions, ants, roaches.

Then one day, during
an unusual experiment...

I had an accident.

Whoa!

Stop it!
No! No!

Aah!

[SCREAMS]

No!

I would discover later
that the intense light

fused the insects
DNA molecules with my own.

And whenever I became angry,

my emotions sent strange
messages coursing through
my mutant blood.

Okay, let's peel rubber.

Watch it, you idiots!

Feeling intense anger,
my body underwent an
amazing transformation.

And I became...

Bugman!

Raaar!

[MICHELANGELO]
Whoa!
Cowabunga!

[BUGMAN]
I could leap
like a grasshopper,

gnaw like a termite
and fly like a wasp.

[MICHELANGELO]
What about float
like a butterfly,

sting like a bee?

[BUGMAN]
No, some other guy
already did that.

Hey! What the--
Whoa!

Like the tiny ant,
I could lift
30 times my own weight.

And best of all,

I delivered.

Since then, whenever
my emotions overpower me,

I turn into...
Bugman.

And I bet I know which
dude bugs you the most.

You do?

For sure!

It's that creepazoid,
Electrozapper!

Right!
I surprised him

in his secret hideout
near the power plant.

It was our fight
that knocked out the lights.

I had him whipped!

Until he brought out
the leestanite.

I've got a totally
epic notion!

How about if we take on
Electrozapper together?

You mean you and I?

Yes!

Bugman power and turtle power
together at last!

[BOTH]
Because you asked for it.

Bodacious!

My buds must have
found thefuse boxfusebox.

Are you sure you want
to go through with this,
Michelangelo?

Do turtles like pizza?

[BOTH]
Safety belts on.

Okay then, let's ride!

Cowabunga!

Nice repair job, Donatello.

I hope it lasts.

Our electrical current
has been real weird lately.

Yeah? Not as weird
as the Cowabunga Kid.

Michelangelo?

What's he done now?

He's gone off with Bugman
to fight Electrozapper.

[LAUGHING]

Bugman! Oh, boy!

Oh, what a joker.

That's his
funniest gag yet!

[LAUGHS]

Oh, he slays me.

Oh, boy.

Hang on, Bugman!

That's the power plant
up ahead.

And Electrozapper's hideout!

That dude is in
for a world class shock.

It's sporting of you
to help me

take on Electrozapper
this way, Michelangelo.

Hey, no problemo.

What's a fellow mutant for?

Uh, when's that
Bugman bit kick in?

My emotional anger
is high enough,

but somehow nothing's
happened to my body.

Maybe I'm still feeling the
effects of the leestanite.

Uh, yeah!

That's probably why.

[BURNE]
April, where are you?

We can't tie up the news van
on some ridiculous
power failure story.

Trust me, chief.

My nose for news tells me
there's a big story here.

Well, you just
powder that nose

and get back here
right now!

Understood?

What's that, chief?
I can't hear you.

There's too much static.

What's a little static
between friends?

Or between me and Burne,
for that matter.

There's something strange
going on at this power plant.

I feel it in my bones.

I don't see
anything yet.

But I'll keep looking.

I just wish Burne Thompson
had more confidence

in my reporter's instincts.

I've got to prove to him
that I can dig as deep
as the next person.

Except when the next person
happens to be Electrozapper!

[LAUGHS]

I certainly do get
a charge out of myself.

More...
More!

When I reach my full capacity,

I'll be able to control
electrical current anywhere!

I'll be all powerful!

All powerful!

Hmm, what's this?

Some sort of antenna.

Yo, April!
Looking for a lift?

Michelangelo? What are
you doing here?

We're here on some
serious bug business.

We?

This is my buggy bud--

I mean my buddy, Brick.

Hi.

The pleasure is mine.

He's a famous
superhero.

He sure is.

The incredible hunk.

Hmm... How long has
this thing been sparking?

I don't know.
I just got here.

Trouble in River City?

It's Electrozapper's
secret listening device.

I'll take care of it.

[GROANING]

I guess I'm still weakened
by the leestanite.

No sweat. I'll handle
this ninja style.

Hi-ya!

What's going on?

Blazing electrons!

Someone has sabotaged
my antenna!

Whoever it is
will pay dearly.

And on my charge account.

Michelangelo, why did
you do that?

Yes, why did you do that?

Electrozapper.

Bugman.

Electrozapper?

Bugman?

Did I stumble into
a comic book convention?

Uh-uh.
This is the real thing.

I don't know who you are,

but you're going to be
on the 11:00 news!

No, you are!

Under late-breaking flashes!

Oops!

Take five.

Hey, zap-dude,

how come you pick on
defenseless dudettes?

They're a lot easier
to beat than men
with muscles, that's why.

Now, on with the fun!

[SCREAMS]

April, look out!

I could use a little
help here, Amigo.

Aren't you ticked off
enough, yet?

I...
I'm trying!

[GROANS]

Maybe this'll help!

Ow!

Hold on, I think
it's happening!

Raar!

There! Now see
what you've done.

How totally repulsive.

A six-foot tall insect.

Raaaar!

And to think, I almost
had a thing for that thing.

Wait to go, Bugman!

Let's take him!

April, you chill out
and don't move.

Ow!

I wouldn't if I could.

My ankle's twisted.

Come back and fight like
a man, you insect!

Suffer my
scorpion venom, villain.

You know what they say:

it don't mean a thing
if you ain't got that sting.

You're about to be injured
by a ninja.

Ah!

I'll take care of this,
Michelangelo.

Gotcha!

Welcome to my party,
said the spider to the fly.

This Bugman is
pretty interesting.

From a purely scientific
point of view, of course.

Come on, a guy who turns
into a creepy crawler?

Gimme a break.

Michelangelo's note
gave us a good laugh,

but I wonder where
he really is.

You don't suppose...

Oh, yeah.
Sure. Right.

He and Bugbreath
are out somewhere

zapping the Electric Zipper

or whatever his name is.

I know it sounds silly,

but maybe this Bugman is real.

[IN UNISON]
Nah.

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Had enough, Electrozapper?

I have one surprise left.

One that's really
going to bug you.

Agh!
Leestanite!

Bugman!
I mean, Brick!

What's happening?

There's not supposed to be
any more leestanite!

And the bad guys aren't
supposed to win, either.

Whoa!

Welcome to your
electronic tombs.

When this reaches full power,

every drop of energy will
be drained from your
pitiful bodies.

You'll be just empty shells.

[LAUGHS]

No!
My ankle.

I can't move!
Help!

Help!

Help! Help!
Anyone, please!

[ROARS]

Ah, rats!
What a time for
the TV to static out.

These monster movies
always end the same way:

helicopters
blast him to bits.

Oh, thanks a lump.
You had to go
and ruin it for me.

[ELECTRONIC HUM]

That's weird.

The wavelength pattern
of this interference

is highly unusual.

Donatello, do I sense you're
having second thoughts

about Michelangelo's note?

What, you mean that
maybe it wasn't a gag?

That there really
might be an Electrozapper?

Well, now that you
bring it up.

That's what I was
hoping you'd say.

Let's go, Turtles!

As Michelangelo would say,

Cowabunga!

Look! There's a fire
at the power plant!

It won't be long now.

Man, like, I've gotta
split this scene.

[MARTIAL ARTS CRY]

But first, I've gotta
split this plastic.

Well, what do you know?

I did it!
I cracked this thing!

Hi-ya!

Ta-da!

I'm not going to
let some

overgrown reject
from a pet shop

interfere with my plans.

Forget it,
Electro-dude,

you'll never hit me.

Oh, no?

The leestanite!
All right!

Ahh!

[COUGHS]

No use!
I'll never make it.

[MOTOR RUNNING]

Someone's coming.

[APRIL]
Here! I'm over here!

Donatello!
Raphael!

Boy, it's a little warm
for this time of year,
don't you think?

I was beginning
to get used to it.

Hang on.

Hey, guys--

Whoa!

Oh!

Am I glad they didn't
leave you at home.

Where's Michelangelo?

You mean he's
not with you?

[GROANING]

You've got a great
fastball, dude.

How about a change-up
once in a while?

I'd rather try
a three-cushion carom,

you repugnant reptile!

Ahh!

Chalk up one turtle
for the Electrozapper.

Oh no, you don't.

[GASPS]
You!

That's right.

I'm ba-a-ack.

Graaa!

Ack!

Come on, Michelangelo.

Let's zap the Zapper
once and for all.

I'm with you, dude.

Cowabunga!

It's time to relocate.

The bug problem is
especially severe this season.

You mean there really is
an Electro-whozits?

[ELECTROZAPPER]
See for yourself!

I don't believe it!

He's the same villain we saw
in Michelangelo's comic book!

Somehow, he seems a lot
bigger in real life.

Three more turtles?
This place is a zoo!

You're about to have
a short circuit, Zapper.

Really?

We'll see about that.

Well, I'll be.

Look!

Yes, Virginia.
There is a Bugman.

Donatello knows bo.

Agh!

Now you know me!

[SHOUTING]

That'll keep 'em busy
while I make my getaway.

For added protection...

Stay back, or she gets it!

Ah!

This is the first time
I've gone flying
with a real fly.

We should do it more often.
You might get to like it.

He's getting away!

Excuse me, April.

All this activity has made
the termite in me

a bit hungry.

[CHEWING]

No, no!
Not water!

What are you
gonna do, melt?

No, worse!

Agh!

[POLICE SIRENS]

Goodbye, O'Neil.

Perhaps we'll meet again.

I'll leave a light
on for you.

And so Electrozapper has
been zapped into prison,

and the superhero
known as Bugman,

who incidentally saved
this reporter's life,

flew over
the distant horizon.

Thank you, Bugman,
wherever you are.

You know, dudes,

I think April's gone
a little buggy.

Ow! Hey!
Come on!

I was just kidding, guys.

Ach! Stop!

Whoa!
