In Michaelangelo #1, Mikey is out walking during the Christmas holiday, enjoying the sights and atmosphere. On his travels he finds a stray cat that he picks up and names Klunk.
In The Path, Klunk gets hit by a car and is dying fast. Mikey takes Klunk to a magic man at a dump because he thinks that he can save the kitty’s life. The magic man tells Mikey that the only way to save Klunk’s life is to exchange it for that of another cat. So Mikey finds the nearest stray, drags it to the magic man and tells him to go through with the ritual. As Mike tries to rationalize why Klunk deserves to live and the stray deserves to die, he stumbles and says “nobody loves it”, suddenly realizing that what he’s doing is wrong. Now accepting that he’s powerless to save Klunk’s life, he bids farewell to his little kitty as he dies. Mikey later learns that the stray was actually pregnant with Klunk’s babies and adopts one of them as his new pet.

Kluh was a warrior from the dimension of Levram and a former contestant in the Battle Nexus Tournament. He appeared in the 2003 series.
Kluh was a contestant in the Battle Nexus Tournament at the same time the Turtles first participated. He defeated a Fantasy Warrior in Tier 1, and Gorath in the second Tier. Between rounds, he metMichelangelo in the market area while in his small form; Michaelangelo accidentally insulted him, and Kluh transformed into full size. Just before attacking Mikey, they were transported off for the next round of fights, where contestants paired up by picking colored darts. Initially Mikey was supposed to fight Kluh, but he tricked Zat into taking his place. Kluh defeated Zat and went on to defeat Gen in the semi finals, but was defeated by Mikey (accidentally) in the final round of the battle. Following this, he was hired by Traximus to help overthrow the Supreme Leader ofTriceraton.
Some time later, Kluh came to Earth to challenge Mikey for a rematch, this time with his father Ammag’s assistance and with the goal of making Mikey pay for his defeat … in blood. Despite gaining the upper hand in the battle due to his sheer strength and various dirty methods employed by his father to offset the safety measures of the Battle Nexus, Kluh was again defeated by Mikey (honestly this time).

| First appearance | “Kirby and the Warp Crystal” |
| Voiced by | Mike Pollock |
Kirby is an artist who found a magic crystal. He is a homage to the legendary comic book artist Jack “The King” Kirby.
In both the original Mirage comics and 2003 series, Kirby lives in a leased office space in front of the cellar in April’s apartment. He is shown to be a very talented drawer with a large imagination.
Kirby appears in Donatello #1. He is first seen in his office space drawing a fly creature with his pencil as Donatello peaks through the door. The fly creature Kirby just drew startles Donatello which in turn startles Kirby. Kirby is surprised since he didn’t remember drawing him and comes to the conclusion that he must be real. He assumes Donatello has come for the crystal and defends that he was only borrowing it for a while. Donatello assures Kirby that he is a friend and questions him about how he made those drawings come to life. Kirby tells him that it was the crystal on his pencil that supplies the “magic”. He explains that he had found the crystal by accident a few months ago and discovered what it could do. He then shows Donatello a doorway he had drawn that didn’t go away, unlike the rest of his drawings. Donatello steps through the doorway, and tells Kirby that he must see what’s on the other side.
Grabbing his sketch book, Kirby jumps through the doorway and is caught by Don. They then spot a strange looking creature with horns which Kirby recognizes as something he has drawn. They both witness more of the strange creatures attacking the human types. Noticing the struggle against the amount of creatures, Kirby helps Don out by drawing him, what he calls, a “Gravitic Equalizer” that cancels out the gravity equation. He then draws Don a “Mobile Creep Trapper” that responds to brainwaves. He notices that the Trapper has filled up quickly, Kirby tries to think of another way to stop them. Realizing that the creatures are all in his sketchbook, he quickly draws all of the creatures bound with metal cuffs making it so they cannot move or fight.
The human fighters thank Kirby, calling him a “mighty sorcerer”. Donatello tells him that they should probably go home, although Kirby shows interest in staying around in this world and exploring. But then both of them notice that the doorway from whence they came is shrinking. Kirby tells Don to go through first and helps push him through. Realizing that he won’t be able to make it through, Kirby sends a note through the doorway instead; Don–”Life at best is bitter sweet” Take care of yourself! -Kirby
Kirby appears in the episode The King. His role is highly similar to that of his comics counterpart. In this world, Kirby found an odd-looking gem in a coal pile and attached it to his pencil. After doing this, everything he drew came to life temporarily, except a portal-like device. When Donatello found Kirby when helping his brother Raphaelturn the water temperature hotter, they went through the portal, and found that everything he had drawn since putting the crystal on the pencil had become a world. The villains he had drawn were overunning a city, and Donatello and Kirby managed to defeat all the villains. There was only enough time for one of them to get back through the portal, and Jack forced Donatello back through the portal. Jack had enough time to send a note to Donatello through the portal, however.
