Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the ugliest one of all?

Just for fun,I've decided to have a little 'Ugly Contest' between my favorite ugly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures.

You can vote on the poll at the left, which closes 2/8/13 at 12:01pm.

Now meet the contestants!

MUCKMAN:
Muckman is a pile of living garbage. He also vomits slime.
Odds of winning: 2:1

SCUMBUG:

Scumbug is a human/cockroach hybrid. Cockroaches are not only disgusting, but the word 'cock' is right there in their name! He's filthy and ugly and his mandibles clatter when you wiggle his head. Odds of winning: 2:1

PIZZAFACE:

Pizzaface may be a walking doughman ala Clayface, or he may merely be a filthy homicidal degenerate who has been entrusted with the task of preparing your dinner. Is that pizza sauce or blood?!?!
Odds of winning: 5:1

MUTAGEN MAN:

Mutagen Man is a walking container of puss, bile, slime and entrails propelled by rotting non-human appendages.
Odds of winning: 4:1

Wyrm is a mutant flatworm with bulging eyes, worms for fingers, a tentacle for a leg, and a thirst for blood!
Odds of winning: 6:1

BAXTER STOCKMAN:

Baxter Stockman is a fly/human hybrid with fly claws, wings, and mutated legs. He's also a ginger.
Odds of winning: 10:1

WINGNUT:

Wingnut is a inter-dimensional bat creature with an ugly bat-pate and a bulbous tongue that dangles like dead flesh from his toothy maw. He also likes to hang upside down and scream a lot.
Odds of winning: 12:1

There you have it - this group of ghouls is, as my father would say 'uglier than a hat full of ass holes.'

But who is the ugliest? It's up to you to vote and let us know!

Pizzaface Pizzaface

I'm a little confused by this guy Pizzaface. Yeah, he's an ugly pizza chef and the Teenage Ninja Turtles love pizza; ok I can sort of see the connection there.

But what's really going on here? There's got to be something more. Is he supposed to be a mutated pizza, or a pizza/chef mutant crossover? Or just some homicidal maniac cleverly disguised as a children's plaything, laying in wait in order to murder your entire family?

According to Pizzaface's filecard he "...zapped himself in his retromutagen oven, hoping the energy would bake him with badness." (Because, hey, that sounds like it would work like a charm!)

The filecard goes on to tell us the turtles busted in and pulled him out "half-baked." Yet he's now "Possessing the power of the pizza pie." So is he supposed to be pizza dough-man? Is he like Clayface, only with pizza dough and toppings instead of mud?

Seeing as how so many TMNT action figures were inspired by existing superheroes and supervillains (Slash as Bizarro, Wingnut as Batman, Groundchuck as Dethlok and the list goes on...) it would make sense that Pizzaface would share attributes with Clayface. Hell, they even have the same last name!

And looking at this prototype image of Pizzaface and seeing what was intended to be hidden under his hat makes me believe it even more. He doesn't just have a strange madball type growth on his head, he's forming another Pizzaface head entirely, just like Clayface would do! One could even imagine that he is not merely using a pizza cutter as a leg and a pizza box as a foot, but that he is forming them from the mass of his own doughy body!

The fact that Pizzaface also holds pizzas (which I do not have) in his hand and looks ready to fling them - I posit that an early iteration had this 'fling-arm' as an action feature - would also lead me to believe Pizzaface could create pizzas from his person and throw them ala Clayface flinging mudballs.

This may all be old news to you die-hard TMNT fans, but it's a new revelation to me. I have seen Pizzaface online plenty of times but only just found him at the flea market and decided that he was just too gruesome to pass up.

So upon further reflection Pizzaface has gone from some oddball weirdo psychopath to something a little more fun. I can imagine this guy blobbing his way through New York and forcing the turtles to fight against the one thing they love the most - pizza itself!
