Cheating Death: The story of Dr. Baxter Stockman - TMNT 2003 

Thanks for watching! What do you think of this version of Baxter?

Even though he’s a villain, I feel bad for him

I’m convinced that the idea of Baxter constantly loosing body parts and gaining them is just so they could give him a million different looks

Dr. Baxter Stockman as a cyborg (robot) is better than a mutant-fly.

His brain in a jar still freaked me out at 24

I swear, every time this guy was somehow brought back to life I groaned. Just let the man die!

Truly, the 2003 team knocked it out of the park with Baxter Stockman. As for Insane In The Membrane, I'm glad they went with the final script, though incorporating things such as him being accepted into university at 14 would've enriched it even more.

The series did have its own Krang. He just got split between Ch'rell, Baxter Stockman, and that Utrom who hated walking on his tentacles.

What the 2003 series did to Stockman made him becoming a Superfly in other iterations look not so bad.

Kinda wish he never appeared in Back To The Sewer. Fast Forward has a good conclusion to his character, Leo making him remember that list part of humanity he had left, being commissioned by the Department of Agriculture to restart the Organic Mouser project (In a way, going back to how things were before Season 1), being granted a new body by President Bishop, it actually gave Baxter Stockman a happy ending, or at least a tolerable ending, given that at that point in Season 5, he wanted to die. I get that Back To The Sewer was still present-day Baxter, but it didn’t need Baxter at all, especially since we knew how things would play out for him in 2105.

My favorite Stockman! You kinda feel bad for after awhile especially in the episode Insane in the Membrane!

I like that how Mikey called Baxter, Stockmanstein and I like his new looks in Fast Forward. There was a lot of missed opportunity in Fast Forward.

I wonder if stockman have been an ally if his mother had survived to see him become a successful scientist

Poor Baxter gets body horror in every universe even the ones where isn’t turned into a fly does he appear in Rise I haven’t seen much of him

Great video. Stockman was one of my favorite side characters in TMNT 2003. All his various forms were interesting and unique. Losing one body part after another, until he was nothing but a brain and eye and he just wanted to die was really dark. I really liked how he finally got a happy ending in the future.

The fucked up thing with the Wolf Baxter is if you really think about it, Krang was intending to melt him on a molecular level, instead because a fly got in the way he fused him with that cretures genetic makeup in what seemed to be a spoof of The Fly... but actually was one of the things in the wolf series would be one of those recurring times where it got about as horrific as that film... that said, 4kid's Baxter continued to blow my mind that "they are doing this to a recurring character on a kids show!!?"

Honestly I always considered the 2003 Baxter Stockman to be a very tragic character

The 2003 Baxter Stockman escape death a lot.

Not to be underestimated, he sometimes sabotaged the plans of Shredder and Hun 😂😅

Insane how almost 20 years later I find out that a bizarre reoccurring scene I had as a child was the Organic Mousers in the test tubes and Baxter dying. Sometime around 13:00.

I don't remember any of this as a kid. This video was so sick after just finishing it I think I'll have to rewatch it again

At 13:21 Leo: *_"Baxter Stockman??!!"_* Stockman: *_"IN THE FLESH (so to speak)!! Now, Payback Time!!:_* Stockman: *_"If it isn't the Turtles. And here I thought Agent Bishop and I were the only ones who survived, the good old days."_*

The petty party that is pretty much have to the majority of this comment section is downright hilarious as they seem to also forget that 60% of his mutilation was his own fault for failing (Yes it's disproportionate retribution in many areas, but still). The rest was because people still needed his brain and couldn't have it without the personality

Fun fact: Nintendo did something similar with a character called "Fassad" in a little game called "Mother 3".

Of all the stockmen in TV shows and comics, this one is by far the unluckiest fellow as he lost his mother, turned into a slave for the cruelest villain, torn piece by piece until all that's left is his brain, managed to escape to work for a special agent in return he can clone his own body only to turn into a complete failure and go back to being a brain in a jar it went on for many years into the future so as all as I'm concerned Baxter stockman 2003 is by far the saddest character in the history of sympathetic villains

So is boss man doing both torturing him but also giving him new ways to stay alive. Like did they cut off stockman hand than got the okay to put a robot hand.

Why can't 2003 Stockman ever wanna stay dead? Scott Williams could easily voice Boscogn for Berserk.

You forgot the dreamwave comic baxter stockman backstory motivations and the 2003 video game of baxter stockman creating turtle bot

its pretty fucked up how brutalised he got and damn that episode insane in th emembrane was like a horror movie

Old TMNT had insane body horror Love it

He’s just like Mr Freeze in the DCAU where he was a head in a jar which it’s kinda comedic just like Arthur Fleck would say that all his life was tragedy but it really is a comedy, well there was that episode that never got released where it reveals that the Garbageman returns and that he was Hun’s brother and season 2 of Fast Forward which you should do too I always thought that Turtle robot that he and Leatherhead made was this version of Metalhead and the cockroach man was this versions Scumbug?

I feel like Ch’rell is the king of cheating death. That dude survived an explosion with worms, got his ass throw into a frozen planet but got revived, and made a digital copy of himself that happened to materialise into real life.

This version of Baxter stockman suffered the most out of all the other versions

They took his mom, they took his ass, and all but his anger!

I always really liked this version of Baxter Stockman, mainly because they really developed the character well, also I was confused too when I rewatched the OG series and saw Baxter wasn't African American in the first series.

Y'know sometimes I feel bad for villains but as soon as I hear "he tried killing an innocent person purposely" I lose all sympathy and I'm like "Ah ok. Nevermind."

7:02 You'd think a legitimate scientist would take grants and deals with the government before ever working with the Foot Clan.

Baxter may have been a villain, but he didn't deserve all that suffering.

I Forgot Stockman Was Voiced By The Narrator From Pokemon

Baxter, the original Superfly!

That makes me hate shredder even more.

Brutal

I really enjoyed this version of Baxter once I was able to get past the race swap. This version was complex and many times I felt sorry for him.

This is literally the saddest character in all of fiction to me
