Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Mikey is nice, Raph is mean, and Leo and Donnie are both in-between.Named After Somebody Famous: After iconic Renaissance artists.Metamorphosis: They were mutated from normal turtles and a rat (or a human depending on the version) to anthropomorphic mutants.The one exception is the Next Mutation series, which explicitly removed their familial relationship so that the new female character Venus De Milo could be a love interest for one of the boys (although the show ended before that could ever happen).

#TMNT TURTLES IN TIME GAME TATTOO SKIN#
Divergent Character Evolution: The Turtles were originally more or less identical in the Mirage comics, the 1987 series gave them different colored bandanas, the toys based on that series gave them different skin tones, the movies gave them different body types that have continually been exaggerated in the 2007 movie, the Back to the Sewer redesigns in the 2003 series, and the 2012 series.Later adaptations tend to downplay this by having them address him as "Father" or "Dad" on occasion. Calling Parents by Their Name: While Splinter raised them and they consider him their father, the Turtles almost exclusively refer to him as "Master Splinter" or "Sensei," since it's usually from a master/student perspective.Big Brother Mentor: During the Fast Forward story arc in the 2003 series, the Turtles took up this role toward Cody Jones.Big Brother Instinct: The turtles are very protective of each other in every incarnation.The Turtles and Splinter are as physically capable as Olympic-level human athletes, but have defeated foes bigger, stonger, and faster than themselves. Badass Family: The Turtles and Splinter, undeniably so.Airplane Arms: The Turtles consistently run like this.Our heroes (Debuted in the Mirage Comics)
