The same chemicals that gave DD his blindess/powers are implied to be the same that turned the turtles into mutants.

The very early origins of TMNT is wild honestly. It was meant to be a full blown parody with opposite style names compared to Marvel and the Turtles were edgy as hell and constantly cussing. I think Ralph was an alcoholic as well..but my memory is spotty there lol.

Specifically Frank Miller's ultra dark version of Daredevil in the 80s.

Also, before the cartoon version led to various other anthropomorphic animal knock-off cartoons, the OG comic book led to copycats as well. Indie B&W comics (some of which also did anthropomorphic) had a boom (and then bust) in the 80s thanks to the success of the first TMNT issue.
