Mad Dogs

Leonardo is a mutant red-eared slider with lime green skin, a mustard yellow plastron, and a green-blue carapace with a teal pattern. He has two red crescent-like stripes over his eyes, yellow stripes on his upper arms and thighs, black eyes, three fingers on each hand, and two toes on each foot. He wears a blue bandana with long bandana tails, bluish grey fingerless gloves with blue trim that extend nearly to his elbows, and matching knee-high toeless footwear. He also wears a blue belt with a strap that goes over his right shoulder. Attached to his belt are a pair of blue pouches (one on the side and one on the back) and the Turtle emblem placed on the left.

Leo is cheerful, prone to making jokes—sometimes at inappropriate times—and uttering quips he believes "fire up the team". His persistently carefree nature causes him to possess an airy quality and he enjoys spontaneity. It's also said that humor is how he manages to cope.

Leo has confidence that usually turns into arrogance and his brothers are often annoyed by his lack of humility, making him difficult to play games with.

Leo is known to be a compulsive liar. He doesn't like being in trouble so he makes his brothers promise not to tell Splinter about Piebald’s fate, even willing to hurt Michelangelo if he tries to tell the truth to Splinter. Leo can be disingenuous as it is not unusual for his charisma to take the form of false flattery just to get into someone’s good graces. His family is aware of this and as such occasionally disbelieves Leo’s compliments.

Leo is at times rational and skeptical, denying the existence of things like ghosts and wanting to search for a logical answer as opposed to accrediting it to unexplainable phenomena. Despite this, he is delighted by magic and mystic powers. He also seems to be the least naïve out of the Mad Dogs as his brothers trust Big Mama almost instantly, though Leo has his doubts about her intentions. However, Leo's tendency to be easily impressed and incessant need for attention can hamper his caution.

Leo often prioritizes his own entertainment over disrupting the plans of villains. Among the Mad Dogs, he isn’t the most altruistic and can be reluctant to help strangers, especially if he knows no gratitude will be shown towards him or his family such as in “The Mutant Menace” when Leo expressed he doesn’t find doing kind acts for the citizens of New York to be worth the hassle or when he doesn’t combat the evil Albeartos in “Al Be Back” due to them terrorizing Albearto Land attendees, but because they are ruining him and his brothers’ band debut.

Leo tends to be lazy and would rather play games and values downtime. Consequently, he highly values convenience, suggesting that instead of focusing on their training they should acquire more powerful mystic weapons in “The Evil League of Mutants”. However, because of this Leo can be clever, finding quick, unconventional ways to solve problems, but this can also be detrimental as he can adopt or encourage dangerous or unhelpful manners of problem-solving such as in “Air Turtle” where he is nonchalant about turning the Daves into demons in order to initiate a winning streak for them.

Though sometimes clever in a pinch, Leo isn’t very bright nor interested when it comes to academic disciplines and rarely reads educational content as shown in “Flushed, but Never Forgotten”.

While Leo has merit, his utilization of his skills often needs to be spurred by a dire situation or a lack of options as opposed to Leo trying his best when he can. When he does decide to be serious and sensible, as in the events of "Origami Tsunami", he uses his charisma and relaxed, flexible nature to sway his brothers into listening to him.

Leo is irresponsible and known to be generally unreliable among his family due to how flippant he can be even in grave situations and finds it very difficult to take responsibility for his actions while also being boastful about his positive or impressive actions. Although he has been shown to try to reconcile his mistakes and be sympathetic towards others’ plights such as in “Bullhop” by inviting Bullhop to live with his family and trying to gather the Mad Dogs' continued support for him despite their own reservations for accidentally causing his mutation.

Leo demonstrates forte in analytical thinking as shown in “Many Unhappy Returns”, able to plan several steps ahead of Big Mama, but he can be so determined to successfully execute his plans while also having glory that he uses his allies instead of working with them and is comfortable misleading his allies and opponents alike to his achieve goals such as in “Air Turtle”.

Upon the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, Leo's character flaws are put to the test where his overall immaturity allows the Foot Clan to steal the Mystic Key and unleash the Krang. This leads him to be berated by Raph for his senselessness and his student-from-the-future, Casey Jones II for failing to be the responsible master he always looked up to. Leo finally accepts his own faults with humility when he confronts a zombified Raph and acknowledges the true meaning of teamwork, responsibility of a leader, and family, even willing to sacrifice himself if it means his family and the world are safe.

It is also revealed in Rise of the TMNT: The Movie that this arrogant personality may be a façade to hide Leo's deeper insecurities. This was lightly foreshadowed in "Portal Jacked!", where he states that he is nothing without his brothers, "Minotaur Maze", where he calls himself useless, and when he asks Splinter why no one seems to trust him.

Kenjutsu: Leo is trained in wielding katana and the ōdachi. He makes use of his ōdachi for skilled offense and defense, allowing him to slice through sturdy material.

Power Portal Jutsu: Leo wields a mystic ōdachi that can create portals when its blade is swiped through the air to teleport people/objects from one location to another.

Ōdachi Bomb: A technique where Leo falls from a portal of his creation at a high elevation to attack an opponent from above, using his momentum to knock them to the ground.

Ninjutsu: Leo is skilled in basic ninjutsu, but due to Splinter’s reluctance to advance their training and the Turtles’ own lack of focus on learning the art, he and his brothers’ skills aren’t honed.

Stealth: As a practitioner of ninjutsu, Leo can slip in and out of areas undetected. These skills significantly improved after additional instruction in "The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek", Leo now being capable of blending in with his environment to the point where he can seamlessly pose as objects.

Speed: Leo possesses a great amount of speed, capable of moving in bursts faster than the eye can follow.Agility: Leo's agility allows him to successfully dodge attacks and perform sharp twists and flips.Strength: Leo possesses strength greater than the average human.

Hamato Ninpō: As a member of the Hamato Clan, Leo is capable of tapping into his clan's energy to unleash his own mystic might.Weapon generation: Leo can use random objects to form weaponry, namely katana.

Blade teleportation: Using his sword as a point of focus, Leo can teleport himself or anyone holding one of his swords to the location of the other. This teleportation ability is restricted to relatively short distances, especially as compared to Mikey's Hamato Ninpō time gateway creation ability which is powerful enough to span through all of time and space.

Ninja Mind Meld: Leo is capable of telepathically exchanging strategies with Raph, heightening team coordination.

Strategy adaptation: Leo is able to formulate plans that take into account his opponent's disposition and weaknesses as well as his allies', incorporating potential trickery and vulnerability from his opponents ahead of time in his strategies to bypass them or use them to his advantage.

Durability: Due to his mutation, Leo's body can experience a higher threshold of physical trauma without lasting repercussions than the average human.

Shell retraction: Leo is able to fully retreat into his shell.

Cooking: Leo's culinary skills are rough as he is seen creating quality dishes while also being unable to make unburnt toast in "You Got Served"

Skateboarding: Leo is a seasoned skateboarder and enjoys it as one of his hobbies.

Donatello is a mutant spiny softshell turtle with jade green skin, a light brown plastron, and a brown and green carapace with dark brown spots. The vertebrae of his spine protrude from underneath his carapace and he has geometric purple markings on his shoulders and thighs. He also has a large head, yellow sclerae and teeth, thick black eyebrows, three fingers on each hand, and two toes on each foot. He wears a purple bandana that covers the top of his head with short rectangular bandana tails and a silver pair of asymmetric goggles with one red (right) and one blue (left) lens. He wears purple fingerless gloves and toeless footwear, a silver tech-gauntlet on his left wrist with a blue touchscreen, purple knee and elbow pads, a purple belt with matching pouches, and the Turtle emblem placed on the center. He also wears a purple Battle Shell that fits over his real shell.

Donnie has an aptitude for recklessness, reveling in thrilling, dangerous activities such as when he tests the Turtle Tank’s taxi rocket and enjoys the experience despite having no control of the vehicle and traveling hundreds of feet into the air in “Late Fee”. He also has a violent streak as Donnie regularly attempts to physically attack others with little hesitance and can be wild, typically acting more like a deranged scientist than a heedful man of knowledge.

Donnie loves the dramatic as much as he himself is dramatic, at times erupting into song, generally talking in a grandiose manner about himself and events, and prone to being extravagant with his plans, such as when he desires uranium for his inventions in “Down with the Sickness”.

While Donnie perceives himself as being emotionless, in reality, he is quite passionate such as being easily irritated, especially when others don’t listen and/or appreciate his intelligence, excitable sometimes the point of distraction such as when sees Atomic Lass in Times Square and loses focus on the mission in “Mascot Melee”, and deeply saddened and hurt discovering that Splinter lied to him and Michelangelo in “Turtle-dega Nights: Ballad of Rat Man”. He also longs for genuine praise, particularly from adults. Despite his aforementioned emotionality, Donnie does have a tendency to be aloof.

Donnie can be argumentative, contradicting others' viewpoints with his own and insistently trying to convince others that he is correct. He is especially staunch in his opinions on the sciences, seeing them as superior to mystic powers and as such refusing to utilize them throughout the series, unlike his fellow Mad Dogs. This is derived from Donnie’s cocky nature. He has a great amount of confidence in himself and his skills and enjoys reinforcing others’ faith in him as well, leading him to show off and consequently panic if things go awry such as when he is more concerned about whether or not the Turtle Tank working improperly is his fault in “The Mutant Menace” rather than the fact that it is working improperly.

Donnie can be irresponsible, blaming others for his mistakes or denying his part in a problem such as in “Al Be Back” where he claims to have no memory of accidentally making Albearto evil. However, he has shown improvement in this as he acknowledges that he was wrong to treat S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. so unpityingly in "Breaking Purple" and apologizes to him.

Donnie has a tendency to be passive-aggressive. Instead of directly confronting his brothers about their bad habits, he presents "gifts" that would force them to give up their habits in “Donnie's Gifts”. Donnie is often sarcastic and has an inclination for cynicism as well. As such he can often be rude, rarely unintentionally so. He often insults his brothers, especially when he is not in the mood for their company, and tends to find them to be annoyingly predictable in their behaviors as expressed in "The Longest Fight" and "One Man's Junk".

Donnie is also shown to be uncomfortable with being touched and unfamiliar with extreme emotions. In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, Donnie is shown to be against hugging to the point where Raph insists that him holding Donnie in after being launched out of the Technodrome is a rescue and not a hug. Then, after seeing Leo getting trapped in the Prison Dimension, Donnie is surprised when he realizes that he was crying, implying that he rarely cries.

Donnie’s pride in his inventions as well as the sheer amount of them created to aid him in combat results in him relying more on his technology than his foundation in ninjutsu, causing his skills to stagnate, though this is an issue his brothers also share.

Transforming weapon proficiency: Due to his Tech-Bō’s transforming capability, Donnie is versed in using a variety of other weapons such as mallets and guns.

Bōjutsu: Donnie has been trained in wielding a bō and is quite proficient in it.

Genius intellect: Donnie is exceptionally intelligent at a level that far surpasses the average human. His intelligence allows him to understand and apply whatever he studies with a high level of proficiency. Donnie’s knowledge spans a vast array of disciplines including, but not limited to: chemistry, literature, cryptology, physics, engineering, biology, mathematics, and to a lesser extent, mystic properties.

Enhanced fabrication: Donnie can create functional high-tech objects/weaponry, decorative art such as sculptures, and tools at varying levels of complexity with relative ease and at an astounding rate. This includes architectural work and construction using natural materials such as wood. Due to Donnie building his own tech, he naturally has a gift for construction. Donnie showed off this obvious skill in "Repo Mantis", when he and Mikey built a sanctuary for all the puppies that Todd Capybara adopted.

Enhanced memory: Donnie can mentally write lyrical songs to retain information immediately upon receiving it as shown in “Mystic Library”.

Animal communication: Donnie was able to speak with beavers and squirrels in “Todd Scouts”, ordering them to destroy the tree fort he built.

Ninjutsu: Donnie is skilled in basic ninjutsu, but due to Splinter’s reluctance to advance their training and the Turtles’ own lack of focus on learning the art, he and his brothers’ skills aren’t honed.

Stealth: As a practitioner of ninjutsu, Donnie can slip in and out of areas undetected. These skills significantly improved after additional instruction in "The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek".

Speed: Donnie possesses a great amount of speed, capable of moving in bursts faster than the eye can follow.

Agility: Donnie’s agility allows him to successfully dodge attacks and perform sharp twists and flips.Strength: Donnie possesses strength greater than the average human.

Hamato Ninpō: As a member of the Hamato Clan, Donnie is capable of tapping into his clan's energy to unleash his own mystic might.

Weapon generation: Donnie can use random objects to form weaponry, namely a bō.

Technology generation: Donnie can create or link with variations of his inventions using Hamato Ninpō, even improving them.

Shurikenjutsu: Donnie has been shown wielding shuriken multiple times throughout the series.

Lip reading: Donnie can understand what others are saying by merely observing their mouth movements as shown in "Bullhop".

Durability: Due to his mutation, Donnie’s body can experience a higher threshold of physical trauma without lasting repercussions than the average human.

Shell retraction: Due to his mutation, Donnie is able to fully retreat into his shell.Pressure points: By manipulating pressure points on others' bodies, Donnie is capable of reversing Marcus Moncrief's paralyzing nerve pinch technique.

Skateboarding: Donnie is a seasoned skateboarder and enjoys it as one of his hobbies.

Dancing: Donnie is quite a proficient dancer and enjoys it to the point where his password for several of his inventions and his video game gamer tag, “Bootyyyshaker9000”, is a reference to his dancing skills.Guitar playing: Donnie knows how to play the electric guitar as shown in “One Man's Junk”.

Singing: Donnie sings the most frequently out of the Mad Dogs and has showcased his singing ability multiple times throughout the series like in "Donnie vs. Witch Town".

Raphael is a mutant alligator snapping turtle with bright green skin, an orange plastron with forked top edges, a dark green carapace with three dorsal ridges, and a large, muscular figure. He has spikes on his shoulders and elbows, yellow sclerae and teeth, a sharp tooth protruding from the right side of his upper jaw, three fingers on each hand, and two toes on each foot. He wears a red bandana that covers the top of his head with long, torn bandana tails. His bandana has a tear underneath his right eye. Raph wears red cloth around his elbows, white bandages around his hands and ankles, and red shorts. There are white adhesive bandages on his plastron, left forearm and right calf, and a red belt with the Turtle emblem placed on the left. In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, Raph gains a a hole on the top left part of his plastron when taking a blow from Krang One in a successful attempt to protect Leonardo.

Raph is exuberant, and passionate, known for his valiant attitude and impulsive streak. Acutely aware of his self-appointed status as the leader, he always makes decisions—some with better results than others—with positive intent and hope for the team. While Raph isn’t adept at quickly thinking of witty remarks as shown in “Stuck on You”, he is skilled in quickly revising ineffective strategies and his bold, steadfast nature makes him willing to try a wide array of tactics, unorthodox or otherwise.

In spite of often being foolish, Raph has his own organic wisdom and in general sees a lot of potential in the Mad Dogs. However, Raph can find it difficult to admit he is wrong such as when he tries to enact his own plan despite agreeing to allow Donatello and Michelangelo execute theirs in "One Man's Junk" and can take credit for others' ideas as seen in "Newsworthy" when he congratulates himself for using Donnie's plan, but has steadily improved on both fronts.

Raph is imaginative, known for coming to absurd conclusions and assumptions about situations such as when he was unable to recall whether the consequence of returning a DVD late was being fined or the Earth being overrun by zombies in “Late Fee”.

Raph is unabashedly tender and kind, hesitant to say potentially hurtful things such as when he apologizes to Franken-Foot for making him feel disliked in “Sparring Partner”, but is not above teasing others either. Often being the strongest and largest in a room, it is easy for Raph to see the vulnerability in others and as such he feels a duty to use his strength to protect others. However, his protective nature can sometimes be viewed as overbearing and unduly worrying among his brothers. Raph is deliberately gentle due to his immense strength and has a great amount of self-restraint in his physicality when interacting with his loved ones, even when wildly excited. Conversely, he has been shown to underestimate his strength when fighting opponents such as when he unintentionally destroys a needed DVD kiosk in “Late Fee” and is often eager to batter villains.

Raph is fair-minded, often exhibiting a degree of responsibility and having a desire to right his wrongs when it comes to something important or a loved one. He usually must remind his brothers of mission objectives and redirect their frequently derailed focus. While Raph is undeniably playful and silly, he also possesses maturity unmatched by his brothers and makes an effort to not insult others who haven’t maliciously caused him trouble. He is able to straighten his brothers out and change their inappropriately-lax attitudes when the time calls for it such as in “Insane in the Mama Train” when Raph recognizes that after indulging in a pranking competition, they should take time to train for an upcoming mission.

While Raph is quite loving, he doesn’t extend his sympathy to everyone and can be wary of those who have wronged him in the past as seen in his reluctance to help Warren Stone in “Warren & Hypno, Sitting in a Tree” and his difficulty trusting and callousness towards Baron Draxum in “Repairin’ the Baron”. He can get angry when others are ignorant or demeaning towards things he likes such as in “The Longest Fight” when Foot Brute asks Raph who Sydney Allen is or when Sergeant Woodpecker mocks Teddy Bear Town in “Mascot Melee”, causing Raph to violently retaliate.

Raph harbors an intense aversion to solitude due to how close he is to his brothers. Being alone against his will can be so distressing to him that he becomes mindless and violent, the complete opposite of his actual disposition, and is indiscriminately hostile, even towards his family as seen in “Man VS. Sewer”. He and his brothers are very aware this thus Raph tries to prevent isolation to stop his “Savage Raph” state from surfacing.

Though he tries to exercise patience with his brothers, Raph snaps when they are continuously disruptive and willfully foolish in potentially dangerous situations. In some cases, his outbursts stem from annoyance of things not going his way. Raph is also relatively easily overwhelmed seen when he tries to silence his brothers’ barrage of questions and remarks after accidentally losing his money in “Mascot Melee” and it is revealed that Raph chokes under pressure and that drawing attention to it only makes him more self-conscious in "Mystic Mayhem".

Raph's relationship with his brothers is strained at times due to his status as the oldest brother. He is prone to viewing them as little kids he has to take care of, which can cause his attitude towards them to be unintentionally patronizing as shown in "Pizza Puffs". In turn, his brothers often expect him to handle many responsibilities and fix problems that they can't be bothered to deal with themselves, much to Raph's frustration. This creates a cycle where Raph wants his brothers to be more responsible and reliable while he also indirectly enables their attitudes through his caretaking behavior.

Mystic energy manipulation: Raph wields mystic energy-generating tonfā. Often activated by striking the heads of his tonfā together, he can utilize their energy offensively and defensively in a variety of ways.

Energy constructs: Raph is capable of manifesting a mystic energy constructs in the shape of his body. He can alter the construct in its entirety to giant sizes and also independently alter the size of its appendages to take down physically large or exceptionally powerful opponents. He can add additional limbs to his construct as well as shown in "Shreddy or Not" and form a more traditional energetic shield to block attacks as shown in "Sparring

Power Smash Jutsu: The speed in which Raph can move his energetic fists is increased, allowing him to strike with immense swiftness alongside the mystic energy's innate magnified power.

Tonfā Power Jutsu: Raph can create giant fists to attack and grapple opponents with, powerful enough to create craters in surfaces. He can dictate the number of fists to generate and the length, creating a construct the full length of his arm or only up to his wrist.

Mystic Punch Jutsu: By enveloping his natural fists in mystic energy, the power behind Raph's strikes is significantly magnified.Power Punch Jutsu: Raph can create a large fist from his mystic force-field, capable of extending it to great lengths.

Power Tickle Jutsu: After activating his tonfā, Raph can detach his energetic fists from his own body and manipulate them as additional limbs.

Strategic analysis: Raph's position as Mad Dogs leader has allowed him to develop tactical thinking. Although devising plans doesn't come naturally to him, he has shown to be able to quickly improve originally ineffective plans and has acquired more caution when approaching potentially dangerous situations, preventing hasty missteps, as time has passed.

Mind Raph: By verbally asking himself a question, Raph can summon a mental image of himself to aid him in problem solving. Both him and Mind Raph can physically interact with one another and Mind Raph retains Raph's personality and memories. Mind Raph seems to have autonomy as he can vanish at will and doesn't always react to stimuli as Raph reacts to it. He isn't beholden to appearing after a verbal question, also appearing when Raph merely intends to speak with him. However, Mind Raph can only assist one summoner at any given time as only one of him exists.

Ninjutsu: Raph is skilled in basic ninjutsu, but due to Splinter’s initial reluctance to advance their training and the Turtles’ own lack of focus on learning the art, he and his brothers’ skills aren’t honed.Stealth: As a practitioner of ninjutsu, Raph can slip in and out of areas undetected. These skills significantly improved after additional instruction in "The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek". However, Raph's stinks can jeopardize his ability to be covert as they can be detected by anyone.Slow Motion Jutsu: By moving exceptionally slow, Raph's body movements are unable to be perceived by opponents, allowing him to execute very close range contact with opponents unnoticed.

Speed: Raph possesses a great amount of speed, capable of moving in bursts faster than the eye can follow.Agility: Despite his size, Raph is quite agile, allowing him to successfully dodge attacks and perform sharp twists and flips.

Superhuman strength: Raph possesses immense strength unparalleled by the average human and the other Mad Dogs, capable of launching six Evil League of Mutants members far into the air with ease using an ordinary ladder in "The Evil League of Mutants" and breaking the legs of a water tower by stomping repeatedly on the roof it stood on in "The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek". In fact, Raph is unable to spar normally against his brothers due to the harm that could be dealt from the large difference between his strength and theirs.

Hamato Ninpō: As a member of the Hamato Clan, Raph is capable of tapping into his clan's energy to unleash his own mystic might.Weapon generation: Raph can use random objects to form weaponry, namely sai.

Self-replication: Raph can manifest duplicates of himself at an undefined limit. Each clone shows no decrease in strength or speed. However, these clones are frail, and if damaged enough, will disappear, briefly leaving behind a red silhouette of where they first disappeared at before completely dissipating.

Ninja mind meld: Raph is capable of telepathically exchanging strategies with Leo, heightening team coordination.Pheromone generation: Raph involuntarily secretes various scents when stressed, referred to by his family as "stinks" as they often smell offensive. Each inducing situation has its own identifiable scent tied to it such as his fear stink, amazement stink, victory stink, and sneaking-up-on-people stink.

Enhanced durability: Raph’s body can sustain physical trauma that would be surely lethal for a human and severely injure the other Turtles. Compared to his brothers, his shell is especially tough, featuring three columns of dorsal ridges capable of cutting through material such as Big Mama's silk.

Skateboarding: Raph is a seasoned skateboarder and enjoys it as one of his hobbies.

Michelangelo is a mutant ornate box turtle with blue-green skin, a bright yellow plastron, and a blue-grey carapace with a yellow pattern. He has geometric yellow markings on his shoulders and thighs, black eyes, a tooth gap in the left side of his upper jaw, three fingers on each hand, and two toes on each foot. He wears an orange bandana with short bandana tails, orange wristbands and toeless footwear, and orange knee pads with red faces on them (a dead face on the right and a smiley face on the left). He also wears a pair of magenta and cyan stickers on his plastron (a triangle and a lightning bolt) and a dark orange chest harness over his left shoulder with the Turtle emblem placed over his heart.Mikey is playful and lighthearted. He is intuitive, able to adopt new skills quickly, determine others' problems, and at times accurately predict situational outcomes.

Mikey is quite creative and has a passion for a variety of different art mediums such as illustration, music, and cooking. He is attuned to pop culture shown by some of his word choices and his knowledge of relevant celebrities such as Rupert Swaggart. However, Mikey has mixed appreciation for certain retro/old school icons as he is disappointed with the dated graphics in Hot Soup: The Game ("Hot Soup: The Game").

Mikey is easily frightened and often retreats into his shell instead of confronting the threat. This results in others having to carry him to safety themselves. Despite this, Mikey enjoys watching thrillers/horror as long as he is a passive viewer as he watches Baxter Stockboy’s haunted video on the ghost named the Gumbus.

While Mikey will lie, he has a disdain for it as he is increasingly frustrated with Leonardo's lying behavior in "Flushed, but Never Forgotten" and insists on him and his brothers revealing the truth to Splinter. Mikey finds it hard to cope with the guilt of lying and thus doesn't keep secrets reliably.

Mikey is competitive as seen in "You Got Served" when he is determined to win a one-sided competition against Leo and boasts about his previous victory, labeling himself as the "all-time champ of today".

Mikey is family-oriented and compassionate as in "Repairin' the Baron" he helps Baron Draxum recover from wearing the Kuroi Yōroi unprompted. He prefers to see the good in others, a quality that can border on naiveté such as when he tries to rationalize Foot Recruit's suspicious attitude to himself during their first encounter in "Hot Soup: The Game".

Mikey has three personas he created: Doctor Delicate Touch, Doctor Feelings, and Doctor Positive. To deliver a harsh truth in his "Doctor Delicate Touch" method, Mikey often starts off being sweet, but quickly becomes angry and frank ("Man VS. Sewer"). Doctor Feelings uses his emotional intelligence to advise others ("Breaking Purple"), and Mikey faces issues with determined optimism as Doctor Positive ("Repairin' the Baron").

Mikey is openly sentimental and encourages others' emotional vulnerability as well. He highly values intimacy and tries to cultivate it in his relationships (sometimes to the point of insistence). This openness can make him excitable, acting hastily and injuring himself as a result. It also leads to Mikey being rude just as often as he is kind such as when he snaps at his brothers for not reacting appropriately to a restaurant he liked being destroyed in "Pizza Pit" or expresses how he wishes to expel Donatello from the Mad Dogs right in front of him in "Bullhop".

Mikey doesn't allow others to diminish his contributions or take him for granted and will sharply correct attempts to ("Mystery Meat"). He can also be insulted when others regard him as dependent such as in "Hot Soup: The Game" when he is eager to complete a mission without his brothers' aid. Mikey's confidence in his capacity to be independent isn't always shared by the other Mad Dogs due to him being the youngest, much to his frustration.

Mikey is also the one who never gives up and has faith in himself and his brothers. In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, Mikey has faith in Leo breaking Donnie's pizza box stack record and in himself to create a gateway to rescue Leo after many failed attempts to do so during the course of the film.

Fire generation: Mikey wields a mystic fire-generating kusari-fundō with a laughing weight and a chain that can extend nigh-infinitely. With its extensive reach, he can burn, grapple, and cut opponents/objects

Weight rejection: Anything within his kusari-fundō’s grip instantly becomes weightless, allowing Mikey to manipulate opponents/objects of a normally colossal weight with ease.Power Fun Jutsu: By spiraling his kusari-fundō’s chain, Mikey can generate a funnel of flame capable of engulfing opponents or transporting a large number of objects from one place to another.

Mystic Whip Grip: The spiked weight of his kusari-fundō is capable of latching onto surfaces to anchor Mikey to them.Ninjutsu: Mikey possesses an innate aptitude for learning ninjutsu, unlike his brothers, and is skilled in basic ninjutsu.
