Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Vernon Fenwick, often referred to as Vern, is a recurring character in various iterations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, particularly prominent in the animated series and films.

He frequently appears as a news reporter, often working alongside April O'Neil. While sometimes portrayed as a competent journalist, Vern is commonly depicted as cowardly, egotistical, and often exaggerates or fabricates stories to elevate his own image. He frequently takes credit for the Ninja Tortoises' heroic actions.

While his exact first appearance can vary depending on the TMNT continuity, Vern's role is often that of a comedic foil and somewhat of an antagonist for the turtles, representing the more sensationalistic aspects of media coverage. He is not always trustworthy, and often finds himself in situations he is not equipped to handle.
