Why did the Ninja Turtles wear masks?

[RollWave]

Is there any answer to this within TMNT lore? Nerd question but I had to ask. Anyone care to chirp up?

Same reason Spock can grab your neck and knock you the fuck out.

 

[HN]

Zorro

 

[tential]

To hide their identity.

I thought that was extremely obvious.

color coded to tell them apart.

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Cuz they are ninjas.

 

[Ichinisan]

The actual reason: so we can tell them apart by color.

 

[IronWing]

Acne.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

To keep Shredder guessing.

Can you really call those things masks though? Pretty sure a mask covers your face and is more than a headband with eye holes in it. Just sayin...

 

[gorcorps]

They aren't always that way

 

[angminas]

the masks make them ninjas, which makes them invisible, which removes the need for masks

head a splode

 

[sdifox]

Cuz they didn't have facial recognition software, so all they needed were eye masks.

Real reason is of course colour coding. Just like in anime where characters can be ided through hair style/colour.

 

[Fox5]

Because their heads look freakish without it!

 

[SP33Demon]

Because it's part of the costume just like other superheroes.

 

[poofyhairguy]

The actual reason: so we can tell the toys apart by color so mom buys four of the same plastic turtle.

FIFY

Really, of all the 100+ page threads there are on this forum, where you'll be seen by tons of people, you pick the Ninja Turtles Mask thread to post this!? Is this some sort of bot or something? It can't be a real person, cause a real person would've picked ANY OTHER THREAD!

You, too. Please don't quote spam posts/links.

That's racist!

 

[sdifox]

What kind of shitty algorithm spit this thread out as a target for Matress spam?

 

[IronWing]

Why do they wear knee pads?

 

[mikeymikec]

Why do they wear knee pads?

Didn't they like to skateboard?

TMNT came out 24 years ago today. Just got done watching it. It's odd looking into your childhood past and seeing what it looks like.

All turtles look alike. You can tell them apart by their weapon of choice.

This thread reminds me of TMNT the arcade and also the horrible NES turtles game.
