Anton Zeck and Ivan Steranko were your coworkers. You weren't afraid of them in the slightest, you had bigger issues on your hands, like the turtles.

However, today after an incident at the docks, causing Shredder to lose to the turtles AGAIN, he had the three of you shoved off to Baxter Stockman's laboratory and mutated.

After the shrieks, groans, and sounds of bones and flesh rearranging subsided, you three were left.... freshly mutated..

Anton: "Oh no! Look at me! I'm a dang warthog!!"

Ivan: groans "Don't feel so well... oh.. nyet.. look at me.."

Anton: "They turned us into freaks!"
