The mighty powers of the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles appeared to be waning in
1992, leaving a vacuum at the top of the cartoon food
chain. Seeing this, three buff Martian mice rode in on
motorbikes to take over. At least, that’s what everyone at
Marvel, New World, and Brentwood Television Funnies were
hoping the Biker Mice From Mars would do. Several Turtles
wannabes had tried for the crown before, but the alien
rodents came armed with a comic book crossover, video
games, and an enormous Marvel publicity blitz.
The show itself featured a trio of Biker Mice -
Throttle (the tan one in sunglasses), Modo (the gray one
with the eyepatch), and Vinnie (the white one with the
half-metallic face). Martian natives, the humanoid rodents
rebelled against the Plutarkians who had conquered and
subsequently ravaged their planet. As the evil invaders
chased the mice across the solar system, the trio crashed
their space bikes through the scoreboard at Chicago’s
Quigley Field (home of the Chicago Nubbs).
Like the Ninja Turtles, the mice decided it might be
better to stay secluded from the human race, but they did
have a human liaison, spunky female mechanic Charley.
Setting up shop at Charley’s “Last Chance Garage,” the
mice soon found that the Plutarkians had their greedy eyes
on earth as well. Wealthy developer Lawrence Limburger -
whom the mice recognized as a Plutarkian flunky - wanted
to build his latest ecologically unfriendly project right
on the location of Charley’s garage.
Limburger had another Plutarkian at his side: Dr.
Karbunkle, who on Mars had conducted cruel experiments on
Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie and wanted to continue his work
here on earth. Other villains included hulking doofus
Grease Pit, Hard Rock, Weather Mister, and the
XTerminator.
Rowdy, violent, and filled with cool weapons and
vehicles, Biker Mice From Mars more than satisfied action
cartoon fans. As it turned out, no successor to Ninja
Turtles was necessary, since those pizza loving sewer
dwellers kept racking up the ratings through 1996. This
didn’t seem to affect the Biker Mice, who became a hit on
their own, producing three seasons of original episodes. |
