Well, the Ninja Turtles were originally an unsubtle Daredevil parody...

(Is "parody" the right word? I think they were part parody and part homage.)

That's why it's the "foot" clan. The ninjas in Daredevil were called The Hand.

Edit: and I just remembered, it's Master Splinter because "Stick" was Daredevil's sensei.

They were also mutated by the same ooze as Daredevil, iirc he fell in it and it blinded him, then dripped from there into the sewer and on Splinter and the Turtles.

"Homage" is the word the creators would have used.

It was also super violent, so I will forever remain surprised that it became a kids thing.

But then Nickelodeon decided to give the guy who made the comic book Johnny the Homicidal Maniac a show and we got Invader Zim, so weirder things have happened.

Patrick Stump (of Fallout Boy, the band that sang "the ribbon on her wrist says do not open before Christmas") sings the theme song to "Spidey and his Amazing Friends" and "Hot Wheels: Let's race". And both those songs kick ass.

And I must say that the Panic! and Weezer covers on the Frozen 2 OST also kick ass.
