  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters was the first Affectionate Parody comic ever of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, first started in 1986. Created by Don Chin and Christopher Parsonavich.

The story focused around four hamsters: Clint, Chuck, Bruce and Jackie, who were sent out into space by NASA to destroy a Blob Monster threatening the world. Instead they gained powers from the mysterious substance, and their spaceship crashed into a Tibetan monestary, where they were trained in the skills of martial arts. Soon Clint finds humans after him because he wrecked the city while trying to save it. The comic follows their wacky adventures.

There were 9 regular issues of their series, which ended in January, 1988. There was also a 4-issue mini-series Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters in 3-D. A spin-off spotlight to one of the characters, Clint: Hamster Triumphant and the one-shot Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters Massacre the Japanese Invasion (1989) completed their run. A few guest appearances in other titles were all that appeared of the characters for a while.

The reprint collection Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters-America the Beautiful appeared in 1990. The 5-issue Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters-America the Beautiful (1992) served the same purpose. A couple of one-shots followed: Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters: The Death of Bruce (1992), Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters: The Lost Treasures (1992), and Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters: Lost and Alone in New York (1993). And that seemed to be the end of the road. In 2007 it was announced there was a planned rewrite. A 4-issue miniseries was published by Dynamite Entertainment in 2008. There might yet be life in the old characters.
