Foot Clan

The Foot Clan ^[1] is a ninja organization founded in feudal era Japan who has a presence in present day New York's underworld in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' dimension.

History

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The clan assassinated one of their own, his wife, and his four children. They were reincarnated in the present as Splinter and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Shredder, the leader of the clan then, also resurfaced in the present. The two sides went to war with each other in New York City. Eventually, the Turtles won and Splinter decapitated Shredder. ^[2] For more information, see here.

Ghostbusters

After Darius Dun, a rival crime lord, was executed for not bowing and surrendering his assets to Splinter, the Foot Clan's current leader, he held onto his grudge against them into the afterlife. He hated Splinter for taking his legacy away. Bronson, another ghost, taught Darius how to observe the physical plane from the ghostly limbo. He was enraged to learn the Foot Clan had taken over half of New York City. ^[3] Darius vowed he would go to any length to even the score. The Collectors were summoned by Darius and he made a deal for his soul for them to go after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Splinter's sons.
