*In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Baxter Stockman appeared as an antagonist in the 1987 animated television series where he was voiced by actor Pat Fraley. This version was a misguided Caucasian inventor who tried to bill his Mousers to the '''Ajax Pest Control''' company who decided not to fund the project as the Mousers were simply too efficient as exterminators which would put them out of work. As such, he came to be rudely thrown out out of the building where he came to be approached by the Shredder who offered Stockman a job. Embittered, the scientist promptly accepted, and Shredder ordered him to create a "master control device" for the Mousers. The Shredder, not being able to wait, used a replication device at the Technodrome to assemble twelve Mousers. He then programmed the Mousers to find and destroy Splinter, the mutant rat who was the Turtles' master. The Mousers were destroyed by the TMNT, and they found Stockman's name on the devices. The Turtles and Splinter found Stockman with April O'Neil's help, and he told them his part of the story. They then proceeded to take Stockman's van, later to become the Turtle Van. After a failed Mouser attack led to his arrest, Stockman's tales of a giant talking rat and talking ninja turtles landed him in an insane asylum. The Shredder soon returned to break him out and Stockman, now a lot more evil-minded and insane than he had been before his incarceration, became his sidekick and lackey, helping him to get the "Three Fragments of the Eye of Sarnath," an alien artifact that would grant the owner virtually limitless power. Ultimately Stockman, tired of being abused by the Shredder during their numerous attempts to gather the fragments, would betray the Foot leader and take the "Eye of Sarnath" for himself, once the Shredder acquired the three segments of the powerful artifact. The Shredder ultimately puts Stockman in his place and regains the powerful artifact, only moments before Donatello's Sarnathometer destroyed the Eye via a massive explosion. Stockman would crawl back to Shredder's side, but the damage would be done, as the Shredder began conspiring to rid himself of the turncoat scientist. | *In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Baxter Stockman appeared as an antagonist in the 1987 animated television series where he was voiced by actor Pat Fraley.

Biography

Baxter Stockman
He developed the Mousers with the help of his computer programmer April O'Neil. Around the time of the Mousers' invention, strange bank robberies were being committed, with small tunnels leading into the vaults. When April questioned Stockman, he led April to an underground factory where hundreds of Mousers were being made. Stockman revealed he had been using the Mousers to rob banks not because of the money but because it was fun. April tried to escape through the elevator but the scientist sent the elevator to the sewer level instead. Whilst there, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came to save her from the Mousers that Stockman had sent to kill April. They then successfully infiltrated Stockman's lab to stop him with him being taken into custody. Afterwards, he used DARPA technology to place his brain in a robot body turning himself into a cyborg in the process where Stockman tried to get revenge on the Turtles but his new body was electrocuted and assumed to be destroyed; only the glasses he had retrieved earlier remained.
It was later revealed that Donatello kept the remnants of Stockman's cyborg body and mind hidden from his brothers for years. In this time, it was shown that Stockman had injected April with nanobots in her shoulder during an encounter. These nanobots eventually activated and began to destroy her body; they were destroyed but are suspected to have made her sterile. Donatello finally destroyed the remnants of Stockman to avenge April which included his mind.
