Michelangelo

Michelangelo's History

Like his brothers, Michelangelo began his life as a baby turtle in Baron Draxum's laboratory. Wishing to make mutant soldiers, the Baron used Lou Jitsu's DNA to mutate Michelangelo into an anthropomorphic turtle. He was taken from the lab by Lou Jitsu, along with his brothers.

Michelangelo is very similar to his previous incarnations as he loves to crack jokes and is generally more optimistic than his brothers. He has a passion for art, presumably of many kinds as he is shown to have a passion for painting and cooking. Mikey can be very oblivious to dangerous situations, mostly unaware of what kind of trouble he could be in. He also tends to be naive, but also kind-hearted.

Mikey is also shown to be attuned to pop culture, based on some of his word choices, his knowledge of celebrities (like Rupert Swaggart) and his love for rap music. However, Mikey has mixed appreciation for certain retro/old school icons, such as his disappointment with the dated graphics from the Lou Jitsu video game.

Mikey is also easily frightened when in a scary situation, and often has the tendency to react quickly by screaming rather loudly and not stopping screaming for a while. To add to his oblivion, he does not think things through when he's scared.

Mikey also gets upset or angry if things don't go the way he hopes, such as when he snaps whenever someone tries to sabotage his love for pizza, which can allegedly make him unstable. He also does not appreciate being looked as being dependent, as such in Hot Soup: The Game, where Mikey is eager to do things on his own, much to Raph's disapproval.

When he uses the Dr. Delicate Touch method, he sometimes starts off as being sweet but quickly becomes angry and straight to the point. Examples of such would be seen in episodes like Pizza Pit or Bullhop. Mikey is shown to be very competitive as seen in You Got Served when he is determined to win despite Leo saying it isn't a competition.

In Repairin' the Baron, Mikey is shown to have an sympathetic side as he wants to help Baron Draxum tolerate humans, much to Draxum's dismay.
