History[]
At the beginning of the film, Cynthia sends a group of TCRI agents in the undergrounds of Stockman's operations, with the goal of bringing in Baxter Stockman, after the latter realised that Cynthia planned on using his work to create an army of super soldiers in her global plans, which he then steals vials of his creations to live as a family of outcasts, which led to him being tracked in New York's sewer line. She tells her men to not disappoint her through screen before being dispatched. However, the mission was botched when Stockman sacrifices his life to save Superfly when spotting one of Cynthia's men shoot a explosive from behind. Frustrated upon the mission's failiure, she then orders her men to collect whatever remains of Stockman's workspace and plans on replicating his experiments, however one of her men picking up Stockman's corpse which dropped his mutagen sample which her men failed to noticed and unknowingly kicked it into a nearby drain.
Years later, Cynthia later looks at her screen about the rumours of robberies committed by a mysterious flying creature who is stealing the organisation's technological parts, She orders her men to put tracking devices on one of the shipments after figuring out that it's the Superfly after looking at an drawn picture from her wall. Cynthia manages to capture the Turtles and puts them on a Machine to extracting the mutagen to make a stable mutagen from their bodies as she shocks them and explains her goals of making an army of mutants before walking away. Fortunately, the Turtles were saved by Splinter with the aid of April who manages to disable the power of the building and escaping the area to stop Superfly launching his machine. Near the end of the movie, Cynthia is last seen secretly monitoring the Turtles in their new lives at high school, beside a captured de-mutated Superfly in a containment Jar, which she comments on the Turtle being formidable and difficult to capture, She then tells her right unit to send out the Shredder, showing the figure staring at New York from a distance in a dramatic appearance.
