History
When Leatherhead was a normal baby alligator, a human boy kept him secretly as a pet. One day the boy's parents discovered him and flushed the baby alligator down the toilet into the sewers. After this, the Kraang found Leatherhead and took him back to their home dimension, where they performed mutagen experiments on him. They changed him into an intelligent and strong but monstrous mutant. However, despite the this, Leatherhead's spirit remained unbroken.

One day, Leatherhead broke free and escaped back to his own dimension in New York. Six months before meeting the Turtles, he stole a power cell --a piece of technology the Kraang need to control their dimensional portal.
