Powers and abilities
Notes
- Venus was created by Kevin Eastman and Haim Saban where she was voiced by actor Lalainia Lindbjerg and was an original creation for the live-action Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation television series.
- Lalainia Lindbjerg provided Venus' voice, while Nicole Parker was the suit actor, and Leslie McMichael performed stuntwork.
- In an interview on Animated Views, animated director Kevin Munroe noted that, "There’s absolutely no mention of Venus de Milo, the female Turtle. You can’t even joke about that with Peter. It’s just one of those things that he hates with a passion."
- Kevin Eastman in an interview on Monkey Fighting Robots Co said, "I know a lot of fans really don’t like Venus. I actually like Venus as a character, and a lot of people don’t know that Venus originally started as a fifth male turtle that we were writing for the fourth Turtle movie that we were doing with New Line Cinema. When that movie didn’t go ahead, we started working with Fox Kids, and the fifth male turtle, named Kirby, was brought into that concept. At the last minute, Margaret Loesch, who was head of Fox Television, decided to change it to a female turtle. Peter didn’t want anything to do with it, so I said, 'Well, I’ve already worked on all of the development, so let’s just make the best show that we can.' And I liked the show that we did for Saban. Again, a lot of fans don’t like her, but I like her, and I don’t know if we’ll see her come up in any comics soon, but it’d be fun. I think we could do a pretty cool adventure with her."
