In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #7 the four Turtles were brought to the Stump Asteroid by Cudley the Cowlick, there they were introduced to Stump and his financial partner Sling. Stump explains to the Turtles that they have been chosen to represent their quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. Stump presents the brothers with a deal, wrestle against one of his wrestlers and be allowed to return home. The Turtles reluctantly accept his offer as they see that they have no other choice.
