==Biography==
===Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles===
15 years ago in Japan, a man named Hamato Yoshi was Japan's finest warrior. His pet rat who will be named Splinter mimics his every movement and takes it by heart. Yoshi's rivalry was a man named Oroku Saki whom he competed with especially for the love of a woman named Tang Shin, but Shin only loves Yoshi. Instead of fighting Saki in honor, he flees with Shin along with Splinter to New York City, but Saki followed as he killed Shin first and killed Yoshi right after he returned home who witness his beloved's murder, which causes Splinter's cage to be destroyed as Splinter jumps out and attack Saki by clawing into his face, but Saki threw Splinter to the ground and sliced Splinter's ear with his katana.
With Splinter all alone, he finds himself in a sewer searching for food until he noticed four baby turtles that were covered in ooze, so Splinter took them and raise them. The next morning the turtles had doubled in size as well as Splinter becoming more intelligent. As time goes by the turtles grew as they learn to stand in two feet and speak, with Splinter teaching them everything his master has taught them and gave them all names such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.
In the present day, the Turtles have been living under the sewers with Splinter as they always have to keep themselves hidden away from society, in an attempt to not be discovered or feared, and only come when there is danger, as demonstrated one night in their first fight when reporter April O'Neil was about to get mugged by street gang, but Raphael threw his Sai through a nearby light, where everything goes dark and the thugs were taken out and gaged by the Turtles, as the Turtles disappeared without a trace, when the police show up to take the crooks in.
However, Raphael gets furious after noticing April taking one of his Sais and decides to cool off by going to a movie in disguise, by wearing a fedora hat and trench coat, while the others celebrate with a Pizza. Donatello asked Michelangelo what would it be like if Splinter wasn't around after Splinter tell them that the four must learn to work together as a team before Splinter passed, but Mikey was too concerned about the Pizza guy showing up. 
After seeing a movie, Raph ran into a street-wise vigilante named Casey Jones, who was being too aggressive with two local street thugs, and tries to stop him from going too far which caused a brief confrontation between the two with Casey hitting Raph with a Cricket rack, causing Raph to go in a tangent chasing Casey down only to lose him in city.
Back at home, Raph gets a pep talk with Splinter, teaching him the ways of how to control his anger, and by reminding him that he and his brothers are always there for them. 
The next morning, Raph followed April to the Subway to get his sai back where she was attacked by a ninja clan called the Foot. Raph grabbed hold of his sai and came to April's rescue, where he takes her back to the sewers while being unaware that the Foot have followed him, and know the Turtles location. 
The Turtles and Splinter wake her up by, using water, and as witnessing Splinter and the Turtles for the first time she naturally freaked out. After Splinter told her, how they came to be, the Turtles decided to take her back home, where she offered them frozen Pizza. After a night of hanging out in April's place, where they finally found a human friend in her, they returned home, but were shocked and horror to find the place in shambles and Splinter taken causing a huge reaction from Raphael.
With nowhere else to turn, they went into April's to spend the night. With April's constant reporting on the Foot, they believe she is the only one who would lead them to know where they are hiding; however, Raph was way too impatient, which caused a riffed between him and Leo, causing Raph to leave in a fuss, and Leo claiming that he and the others don't need him. 
While on the roof, trying to let off some steam, he was being ambushed by the foot, which caused a fight to ensue, but Raph was outnumbered, and thrown back into April's apartment, unconscious.
The Foot break-in and a fight between them and the other three Turtles ensued. Things do seem to go well for the Turtles at first, but more of the Foot keep showing up causing them to be outnumbered until Casey Jones appeared, who witnessed Raph on the roof earlier and help the Turtles take out some of the remaining Foot Soldier, but the apartment was beginning to catch on fire which caused them to flee and retreat. 
They end up in an old farmhouse that April use to live, as she, Casey, and the Turtles attempt to settle down while Raph was still unconscious, and Leonardo watched with grief partially blaming himself due to the fight they had before the incident.   
Raphael gains consciousness, and he and Leo reconciled. After spending days of training, Leo gets a vision of Splinter, while meditating realizing that Splinter is still alive. He had the other three go out in a campfire, where all four of them meditated, as Splinter appeared as a Ghostly Spirit through the fire, and congratulated them for finally learning to work together as a team, claiming that they would no longer need him. This caused a huge emotional reaction to what they witnessed, with Mikey being the only one in tears. 
After getting that message, they realized they must return to New York, in hopes of letting the Foot know that they returned. 
Back at home, along with April and Casey, the Turtles noticed a teenage boy by the name of Danny Pennington who is the son of April's boss Charles, who is secretly working for the Foot, and was the one who led them of knowing where the Turtles were after he witnessed Michelangelo, under April's flat that one time, in which they never figured out.
Deciding to spend the night along with them, April gave Danny a drawing she did of Leonardo, to which he unintentionally, had the Foot realized that they returned after their leader the Shredder found the drawing in his pocket. 
The Foot broke into the Turtles home once again to settle the score, which ultimately led to a fight between them on the roof. After taking out the Foot, the Turtles came face to face with the Shredder himself, to where the Shredder easily outmatched them. 
Believing that he knows where Splinter is, the Shredder made a bluff in making them believe that he is dead which caused Leo to reacted in anger, as he attempted to take out the Shredder only for him to fall over, and have the Shredder's sharped bo staff pointed directly at him, giving the Turtles a choice to give up their weapons to save Leo, but Shredder gave another bluff saying that they could've overpowered him while he was distracted with Leo.
As Shredder was about to take Leo out, Splinter appeared right before them, after being freed and rescued by Danny and Casey. Splinter revealed that he knows the Shredder is Oroko Saki, which gives Shredder flashbacks by removing the faceplate from his mouth revealing the scar Splinter gave him the night he killed Yoshi and Shen. 
In an attempted to get back at Splinter, Saki rushed to strike at them causing Splinter to use one of Michelangelo's nunchucks, placing it between Shredder's staff, as Splinter was about to make a speech about honor and death before Shredder was gonna used another weapon against him, but Splinter grabbed it, causing Shredder to fall to his death by a garbage truck, which Casey used to crush him with. 
Relived to know that their father is back and well again, the Turtles all come to embrace him. The four Turtles celebrate by giving each other slags, with Splinter giving them the famous catchphrase: COWABUNGA!
===Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze===
After the defeat of the Shredder, the Turtles and Splinter have been living in April's new apartment due to the Foot knowing the whereabouts of their home, but are still in hopes of finding a new place to live. After saving a pizza delivery boy name Keno, who specialize in Martial Arts, from a group of burglars, they vanished without a trace and payed for the pizza behind Keno's back. 
One morning the Turtles watched in the News, as April was interviewing a professor by the name of Jordan Perry, who is the head scientist of an industrial organization called Techno Global Research Industries (TGRI), who is determine to clean out the city's toxic waste for their experiments.
It turns out that the waste that they used caused a mutation nearby dandelions producing exponential growth. Upon seeing this, Splinter decided to show the Turtles and April that the ooze that transformed them was created by the TGRI company, so the Turtles infiltrate the TGRI lab to seek answers about their origin, but the Foot manage to get there before them as they kidnap Perry and took hold of the last canister of TGRI, just when the professor was about to dispose of it. The Turtles do what they can to retrieve it, but ultimately fail. 
For April's safety from the threat of the Foot, the Turtles decide to find themselves a new place, in hopes to find that last canister, not before getting an unexpected visit from Keno being suspicious about April's constant ordering of pizza, and finally discovers the Turtles and Splinter. 
When Keno tells them that their was word on the street about the Foot attempting to gain a group of teenagers join them, both Raph and Keno figured if Keno joins them, they'll know where the Foot is located, but Splinter denies it. 
As the Turtles tried to find their new place in the sewers, Raph and Leo once again get into a fight as Raph's impatient in finding the Foot's hideout caused him to depart with the other three, as they find a new place that has an abandon train for them to take shelter. 
Meanwhile, Raph finds Keno and sneakily has him join the Foot, but was completely ambushed as Raph was abducted and found that the Shredder is still alive. Upon getting information from Keno, who managed to escape from the Foot, about Raph's captured, the other three found the place and found Raph gagged, but the Shredder caught them by surprise, and have them be trapped within a net, to dragged them to in an area that has Spikes, but was saved by Splinter who managed to free them with a bow and arrow. 
The Turtles went head to head with the Foot, but Shredder release two giant mutated monsters in form from a Turtle and Wolf, in which Perry was forced to create, by the names of Tokka and Rahzar. As expected, they proved to be to much for the Turtles, but Mikey was able to find a sewer close by and have them all gathered inside including Perry, whom Donny had free jump inside. Perry reveals to them that the ooze the created them was an accident, making Donny question about their importance, but Splinter claimed that they shouldn't be defined by their origins. 
After learning that Shredder would send Tokka and Rahzar to Central Park if the Turtles doesn't show themselves, Perry created an antidote to the mutations, that the Turtles must give to Tokka and Rahzar under the guise of a donut, but was immediately discovered, which caused another fight which led into a nightclub, where Vanilla Ice is preforming. The Turtles were able to get Tokka and Rahzar back into their natural state, but Shredder revealed he has another canister, but Keno comes in the last second and kicks the can off Shredder's hand as it was retrieved by Perry. Both Donny and Mikey were able to use amplified sounds with a keytar to blast the Shredder off the stage. 
Believing the Shredder to finished, the Shredder reveals himself in the docks and becomes a "Super Shredder" after consuming the last of the ooze, and overpowers them, but the destruction of the dock's supports he's caused, causes the whole thing to collapse on top of him as the Turtles freely escape. 
Upon returning home celebrating a victory, Splinter has them do ten backflips as punishment, for revealing to themselves in public. 
===Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III===
The Turtles (except for Raphael) were having a good time in their new lair. They get a visit from April, who was preparing to go on Vacation, and gave each of them gifts at the flea market. Michelangelo was given a old lamp, Donatello was giving an old radio to fix, Leonardo was given a book on swords, and Raphael was giving a fedora hat, but was never formally given it, when he stormed off. Last but not least, she gave Splinter and old scepter which begins to light up as she was sent back in time, and in her place was an ancient prince in the past name Kenshin wearing her clothes while April was wearing his in his timeline. Kenshin freaked out upon seeing the Turtles calling them "kappa" and fainted upon seeing Splinter. 
When learning about Kenshin's timeline when he was in a conflict with his father: Lord Norinaga, the Turtles decided to go back to save April no before learning from Donny that they must return in 60 hours otherwise the scepter's power will disappear due to the space-time continuum being out of sync. They have Casey Jones come over to watch over Kenshin in the lair, and use the scepter to warp through time, and were replaced by four of Norinaga's Honor Guards.
The Turtles appear in ancient Japan on a horseback ride; however, Mikey, who was carrying the scepter was riding his horse backwards causing him to be separated from the other three, and gets ambushed by an unknown assailant. The other through there disguise as Honor Guards were able to search through Norinaga's castle to find April. They were able to free April along with another prisoner named Whit (who shares a striking resemblance to Casey), but due to their clumsy escape, it ends leaving them stranded in the wilderness with nowhere to go, until they were confronted by villagers who mistaken the Turtles as the Honor Guards. The fight stop when the rebellion leader: Mitsu remasked Raphael saying that he looks like one of her prisoners, which lead the Turtles to realized they were talking about Mikey. 
They followed her and her fellow rebellion to her villiage, but soon found the place to be burned down by English trader: Walker and his men, and all rushed in to save the villagers. Mikey was let out by two clueless soldiers to join the fight, forcing Walker to retreat. As the place continued to catch fight a boy name Yoshi: Mitsu little brother was trapped inside one of the burnt homes, but Mikey rushed in to save him, and Leo giving him CPR to revive him, earning the Turtles gratitude and respect by the villagers.
With them losing the scepter, Donny decide to make and a replica of the scepter to get home, while Mikey is shown to have an affection for Mitsu, even though she is in love with Kenshin, and Raph shows to have sensitive side and develops a strong bond with Yoshi, as he teaches him to control his temper. 
After Donny finished making the makeshift scepter, an agrument between Raph and Mikey fighting over whether if they should stay go ends up destroying it, but soon discover Mitsu was hiding the real one, so the Turtles would help fight her war, but her grandfather said it was his idea for them to fight in her place. 
Mitsu was immediately kidnapped by Whit was was secretly working for Walker, and was sent to Norinaga's palace forcing the Turtles to try and save her, and upon saving her, the Turtles were outnumbered by Norinaga's soldiers, which force the Turtles to go free the prisoners which led to an all out war outside the palace. 
A brief fight was taken between Leo and Norinaga in a one on one sword battle with Leo taken the victor, by cutting his pointy tail and trapping him inside a bell. Walker then revealed to have the scepter and tries to escape with it on his boat, but was cornered by the Turtles. Walker decided to distract them by tossing it in the air, but Mikey was about to catches in a nick of time, a redeemed Whit (due to Walker taken back on the deal they made) launches a fireball from a catapult at Walker and knocks him off the dock to his death.
With everything all said and done, a debate with the Turtles occur as Mikey wanted to stay with Mitsu, and Raph thinking that they are better appreciated in the past then they are in their own timeline, but April and the other Turtles convince otherwise, and Mitsu informed Mikey that he made promised to return Kenshin back to his timeline, to which Mikey reluctantly agree, and Mitsu tells him that she would always be with him. The scepter began to light up as, Kenshin and the Honor Guards from the present time were getting readying to return, as were April and the Turtles, but after Mikey gave Mitsu one his Nunchucks, incase if she ever gets to New York in the future, he misses the opportunity to grab hold causing April and the other three Turtles to return back to the present without him, with the Honor Guard in Mikey's place still remaining, but Mikey was able to switch back with the Honor Guard right before the scepter burned out.
Upset over the thought of growing up, Splinter decided to cheer Mikey up by wearing the lampshade on his head, and doing Elvis Presley impressions in "Blue Hawaii", and Mikey joining the rest of the Turtles by doing a dance number. 
===TMNT===
After the defeat of the Shredder, the Turtles have grown apart, where Splinter sent Leonardo to Central America to protect village people from bandits, while Donatello works as an IT specialist, Michelangelo works as a birthday entertainer named "Cowabunga Carl", and Raphael secretly works at night as a vigilante called "NightWatcher". 
While traveling to Central America to find acquires relics for collectors, April O'Neil bumps into Leonardo, and explains how his brothers have drifted apart and subtly tries convince him to return back home to New York, as he moved passed his training; however, Leo feels that he is better appreciated with the villagers than he is with his own brothers. 
One night, while trying to stop a thief from robbing a local store as the NightWatcher, Raph bumps into Casey Jones who reveals he knows his identity and decide to join him on his hunt to fight criminals. Raph is shown to have resentment towards Leo, as he feels that Leo refusal to contact made him believe that Leo has abandon his family and the rest of the city, especially when crime on New York City still continues to rise, adding to the fact that both Mikey and Donny have been working on jobs that doesn't concern the city, led to Raph's decision to continue his pursuit on fighting crime as a mask vigilante in which he keeps from his family and friends. 
Leonardo eventually returns believing that he has let his ego got the better of him, and has forgotten about his family, but Splinter believes he has surpassed his training. However, Splinter forbids Leo and the others to fight, until they can act together as one. Leo was greeted with open arms by the other Turtles (with the exception of Raphael), and have them go out to training; however, they encounter huge monster known as Bigfoot who was attacking the Foot Clan, now led by Karai: Shredder's former second-in-command, inside of a construction building. Against Splinter's wishes, the Turtles confronted the beast, and after causing a lot of damage: the beast was captured by the Foot and four beings made of stone. 
The next morning, Splinter watches the News about the incident, and berates the Turtles for disobeying them. Wanting to know what's going on, Raph decided to visit Casey, and encounters another monster called the Vampire Succubor. They witness the monster being captured by the Foot and the stone men, which eventually led to them being spotted with Raph being injured. Casey brings Raph back to his and April's apartment. 
After getting a phone from April about Raph's situation, the Turtles stop by to apartment to check up on him, and found a stone shuriken on his shell as it was revealed to be the legend of Yaotl who was believe to be a myth, stating that 3,000 years ago a warrior discovers a portal to a another dimension, which granted him eternal life, but it turned his four siblings generals into stone. This also led the portal to release 13 monsters that destroy both his enemies and armies simutantiously, and are revealed to be the monsters that has been terrorizing the city. Donny finds that the dart that shot Raph was own by April's boss: Max Winters who is the warrior Yaotl. After an argument between Leo and Raph, as Raph want to purse Winters, but Leo waits until Splinters approval of them to work as one, Raph quits and decide to go on his own. 
Back at the sewers, they learn that the next portal will open in Winter's tower within 24 hours, believing that the whole world will be invading by the monsters. Splinter lectures Leo that his team is still incomplete and must do what he has to do. 
While patrolling as the Nightwatcher, Raphael encounters one of the few remaining 13 monsters known as the Jersey Devil inside a diner. After confronting the monster, stumbles into Leo who chases him around the city which ended on a rooftop. Not who the Nightwatcher is, Leo demands him to end his vigilante crusade. 
To still keep his identity a secret, Raph as the Nightwatcher refused to comply and has a brief fight with Leo which led getting an upper cut from him as his helmet flew off his face which unintentionally revealed his identity to Leo, causing a huge argument between the two about how things have change since Leo has left. This led into another fight between the two, this time with Raph as the victor, after he broke Leo's katana with his sais, and almost landed one of them throw his brother's face, leading Raph to flee in guilt. 
This unfortunately led Leo to be outnumbered and captured by the Stone Generals, and after hearing Leo's scream, Raph purse to go after them, but he was too late. 
Returning home, Raph shows his remorse to Splinter and after revealing what happened, Splinter decided that they must come out of the shadows, in hopes to return their fallen companion. With the help of Casey and April, the Turtles and Splinter arrive at Winters building, and fight their way to the Foot clan to rescue Leo. 
They confronts Yaotl about his plans, but Yaotl admits that his plan was to return the monsters back to where they came from; however, the Stone Generals wanted to remain immortal, and Leo was used as a substitute for 13th monster, so that the portal wouldn't work. This led to an alliance with the Foot who refuse to betray Yaotl, and have April and Casey help them find the last monster: the Sea Monster while the Turtles deal with the stone generals, and Splinter and Yaotl making sure all the monsters remain in the portal. 
Just as the Turtles were going to throw the Generals, they revealed that without the last monster they will never be stop, that is until Casey and April drove by with Mikey party wagon which they use to lure the Sea Monster to the portal which shove the Stone Generals inside as they evaporate as the final monster has finally reached the portal causing the portal to close. 
Karai tells them to enjoy their victory while it last, as she warn that they will soon contend with faces from their past, before vanishing. A now-mortal Yaotl honor the Turtles and Splinter for helping fulfilled his wish before dissipating.
Back at home, Splinter keeps Yaotl's helmet as a souvenir, along with Raph's Nightwatcher helmet, and Mikey's Cowabunga Carl head.
The Turtles have finally reunite, as one and regain their roles as the protector, with Raph narrating that they will always be brothers.
