IN THE SERIES
In his second appearance "Michelangelo Meets Bugman Again", it is revealed that Brick was sent to a haven where he has learned to control his anger, and thereby doesn't have to turn into Bugman again. Also, a comic book based on Bugman was made, but it was cancelled after it was discovered a real Bugman existed. Michelangelo enlisted the help of Brick Bradley to defeat a villain the Swatter. Bradley was still serene, but became Bugman after April mocked the way he dressed much to his anger. Bugman then helped the Turtles defeat The Swatter, who was revealed to be the writer of the Bugman comic who planned to make a comic book about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as he never thought about coming up with an original idea instead of making comics about real-life heroes.
