Children of the atom in a half shell!
Re: TMNT Nicktoons show and fanfiction.
I just had the bestest idea ever for my Mikey/April/Kraang DNA headcanon: You know that Tumblr post that theorizes how Michelangelo might have the mentality of a creature from Dimension X, which explains his extraordinary skills and knowledge of Dimension X and why he seems more at home there, why his brothers think he is "a genius" there? My headcanon says that Mikey's mutagen contains the same Utrom/Kraang DNA as April O'Neil, who was genetically engineered to be half Utrom. That explains April's psychic powers and ability to use Kraang tech. But what if Mikey also has those same untapped, unreleased psychic abilities and needs something to draw them out? Like Kraang Prime or the Utrom Queen. April and Mikey might as well be psychic siblings.
A reviewer of my fanfics on ffnet pushed my theory even further with a literal interpretation: Toddler April, in that pet store with her parents, picks up little turtle Mikey and gets her DNA on him, which Donnie then discovers one day sixteen years later when he gets bored and decides to make Mikey his science project, realizing that Mikey's DNA has two unusual strands that look similar, realizes what's happening, and once he tells April, the Utrom Queen beats Kraang Subprime to the lair and takes everyone to Dimension X for a handy explanation. Turns out it's her DNA in both April and Mikey. Hi, Mom! (and Kraang Subprime wants to use that, obviously, being a villain)
Imma need to write this up as a short story outside my Cold Fire universe. I love how both I and random Tumblr user had the same idea about Mikey and the Kraang.
*looks around* Damn, I really need to join a TMNT fandom page that appreciates this level of bizarre headcanon.
