Here's Mikey!

'Sup, dudes? I'm Michelangelo, or as my bros call me "Mikey". I happen to be part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! My bros are named "Leo" (the leader), "Donnie" (the smart one) and "Raph" (the hot-head). See, the four of us were raised by our sensei Splinter and got mutated from green ooze and became super awesome turtles! My bros and I love having pizza and defeating bad guys such as the Shredder and the Foot Clan.

You may have read my awesome stories on comic books, watched radical cartoons and flicks or even had a shell of a time playing some games!

The clown I encountered at Gotham has his own page? Not cool, man!


Check out these radical tropes!

  • Battle Rapping: Me and my bros rapped against the artists whom we got our names. They didn't sound as smooth as our raps.
  • Berserk Button: Make fun of me all you want, I'm used to it, but never threaten my family
  • Beware the Silly Ones: I may be the silliest Turtle, I can kick your butt just like my bros and Casey.
  • Bizarre Taste in Food: I love using different ingredients to make some awesome pizza.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: Training is important, but I'd much rather eat pizza and read my comics, or watch TV. I'm still as good as my brothers despite that and a lot of people think I'd be the best if I trained as hard as them.
  • Characterization Marches On: I wasn't always the fun turtle I am today. I was originally imagined as a Bruce Lee Clone and was more done to Earth compared to my brothers. I even alternated with Don as to who would be The Smart Guy. Next to Raph I was also the most violent.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: In the original books, my headband is red like Raph's. In all the other stuff, it's orange like cheese pizza!
  • Cool Board: Cool indeed! If you've seen TMNT, you see how I shred by skating a sewer pipe!
  • Cowardly Lion: When I was forced to fight Kluh in a rematch to determine the Battle Nexus Champion. I figured he's just beat me and the safety spells would keep him doing anything dangerous. But his dad was really sore about how I beat him so he had the magic of the Battle Nexus tampered with so Kluh could beat me to death. Kluh kicked by shell, until he said he'd kill my family after he was done with me. Then I fought back and wrecked him.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: I'm the goofball of my brothers, but don't think I still can't kick your shell.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Whenever I fight Raph in the 03 series I always beat him because he lets his temper get the better of him.
    • While Kluh was initially beating me up in our rematch, once he said he'd go after my family, I beat that brute up so badly he couldn't stand. The Daimyo gave me the choice to finish him off, but I was taught better than even though Kluh dared to do it. He tried to act tough but he never came after me or my family again after that.
  • Fun Personified: I'm the life of the party!
  • Guest Fighter: I happen to be in Injustice 2 (same for my bros), where I get to fight villains that aren't the Shredder and Krang! Heck, even Leo compared some of them to Bebop!
  • Jerkass Has a Point: After I became the Battle Nexus Champion I never let anybody forget it. Raph complained that I won final round due to luck, and everytime he did I pointed out that I did beat him.
  • Kid-Appeal Character: All the young-ins like me! No wonder why I dressed up as Cowabunga Carl!
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: I take care of Klunk in the comics and 2003 toon and Ice Cream Kitty in the 2012 toon!
  • Last of His Kind: So apparently there's a comic where the Foot Clan's taken over New York in the future and I'm the last one standin' since Donnie, Raph, and Leo all bit the dust courtesy of Shredhead's distant grandkid. Jeez, that's a real bummer if I'm bein' honest with ya, dudes.
  • Mini-Mecha: When my bros and I went to the future, I tried swapping my nunchucks for a mech I called the Mikeytron 6000, but that got wrecked almost immediately afterwards.
  • Morph Weapon: My chucks can turn into a kusarigama in the 2012 toon!
  • Nice Guy: I sure am friendly, dudes!
  • Nice Mean And In Between: I'm a fun lovin' and nice radical Turtle, Raph is mean and often angry (you wouldn't like him when he's angry) and Leo and Donnie are both more wiser and focused than me, but more much reasonable than Raph.
  • The Nicknamer: In the 2012 toon, I nickname every mutant me and my bros meet.
  • Odd Friendship: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) I had this with Leatherhead. I am the goofball and he's the big angry gator, but I was the first guy who was nice him while he was in his one mutant war with the Kraang.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: If you manage to make me cut the jokes and get serious, trust me you will regret.
  • Serkis Folk: In the 2014 and 2016 flicks, I am computer made! But who the shell is Serkis?
  • Straight Man and Wise Guy: Regardless of who I'm with, I will be the wise guy, with a few exceptions.
  • Totally Radical: I sure love to speak like that. Donnie needs to speak English, though.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Me and my bros sure love some pizza. Papa Gino's is one of my favorites!
  • Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Me and my bros tried to fight it out! I failed... Oh, and Leo won.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: In the 2003 show, I based my assumptions on what was happening as though I was in a horror movie. I was in a kids show, so I was always wrong.
