Mutagen

The Mutagen is a mucilaginous substance that has served as a key plot device in the creation of other creatures such as, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Any creature that is exposed to mutagen will rapidly transform into a hybrid of their original species and whatever creature they have most recently been in contact with. It is responsible for mutating, among others, Splinter and the four Ninja Turtles.

Capabilities
The mutagen causes them to transform into a hybrid of their original species and whatever creature they have most recently been in contact with; It blends the victim's genetics with that of whatever creature they have recently touched, but when used on animals, it makes them a larger, more intelligent, human-like creature. It has a glowing blue-green coloration to it. Michelangelo often refers to it as mom in this cartoon as it created him. It is also possible that since Splinter was the nearest to the turtles` during their mutation that his DNA mixed with theirs making him their actual father, while his actually merged with a nearby rat that ran by him. The mutagen also seems to merge organic substances and inorganic substances as seen by Chong.

As seen in The Pulverizer Returns!, if a human has not come into contact with an animal or plant before using mutagen, their bodies will be molecularly broken down, turning them into a pile of acidic goop with only their internal organs still intact. Pulverizer also states that the mutagen burns a lot.

It has been stated that the mutagen was not intentionally created as a mutative agent; it apparently had different properties when it was created in the Kraang's home dimension, but the new laws of physics in this plane of existence altered its function.
