Michelangelo (2012)

Michelangelo also known as Mikey is a member of the Ninja Turtles and is the youngest of the four.

## ​Appearance

Mikey is a light green Mutant ninja turtle.

Unlike all of his previous incarnations, Mikey has freckles.

Like all in incarnations, however, he wears an orange mask, though like his 1987 and 2003 incarnations, the tails of his mask are shorter.

Mikey is shorter than his brothers and is considerably shorter than Donatello.

Mikey also seems to be a little more pudgy than his brothers.

The animators gave Mikey baby blue eyes to make him look slightly more 'innocent'.

However, like all of the Turtles when they're in combat, the pupils and irises vanish from his eyes, leaving him with plain white bits, which are similar to that of the 2003 incarnations.

## ​Personality

Mikey is the youngest of all the turtles, making him the least mature, however, it was confirmed that his maturity slowly increases as the episodes go on.

He is labeled as "The Wild One" and "The Party Dude" as he is the most "fun" out of all the turtles.

He is also very social, and wants the outside world (humans) to accept him and his brothers.

He is also impulsive, because of a severe case of ADD.

He is the first of the turtles to taste pizza and is very proud of his talent for naming things.

In battle his weapon of choice is a pair of nunchakus, and a kusarigama.

He might seem unintelligent to his apparent disregard for thinking things through, but he is actually intelligent.

Unfortunately he also isn't always the most considerate of the ninja turtles like when he tried to use Raph's fear of Cockroach Terminator to get Raph to let him read his comics, or when he pranks his brothers.

But he also has an honest heart and is more willing than the other turtles to accept outsiders like Karai and Leatherhead.

## ​Powers, Skills and Abilities

* **Ninjutsu:** Mikey is the most agile of all his brothers; his training as a ninja helped to balance and improve this, but his skills in skateboarding and dancing also gives Mikey an edge that will often shock his brothers. Mikey is an extremely good fighter. He's got a great knowledge with ninjutsu, which is why he is a good fighter. He may have the most raw talent of the four, but he does not seem to have the skill or the inclination to develop it.
* **Pranks:** He refers to himself as the king of pranks. Since he the most funniest of his brothers and he hasn't shown to be wrong since he was able to show his pranking skills against his brothers like water balloons as he wants to prank them all and he was able to use his prank of water ballon to use against the tank of the truck.
* **Teaching:** He has shown Napolean the right way of Ninjutsu correctly as he was shown great success as he may not be the great Ninja turtle for thinking of correctly of logic from his brothers but he proven to teach others to fight well.
* **Enhanced Strength:** Since regular turtles are able to lift 5x their own body weight, his strength is likewise altered. His ninja training with Master Splinter has helped to improve and condition his strength. He isn't quite as strong as Raph, but he was able to throw barrels over his head against Spiderbite.
* **Enhanced Speed:** He can run much faster than an athletic human.
* **Stealth:** Mikey has the ability to move in the shadows, like his brothers. He is also very stealthy, but does not enjoy when stealth is used on him.
* **Kusarigama:** His nunchucks has a built-in switchblade on one of the bars.
* **Balance:** Mikey's skills as a skateboarder and a ninja give him a great ability with balance.
* **Shell:** He has the normal ability of a turtle to go into his shell.
* **Cooking Skills:** He shows to love to cook for his family even though his brothers don't think his tastes great but to Mikey it does. Leatherhead seems to love his cooking skills. (Probably because he has never eaten anything delicious)
* **Shadow Puppet Skills:** He able to make different shadows out of his hands very well to be appear realistic of different objects. He used this to decive the Kraang, Fishface, and Rahzar.
* **Intelligence and Communication :** He not the smartest of like his brothers are but he makes it up for knowing comics and naming creatures. As he shown to be excellent naming creatures if their appearance, abilities or powers. Just like any other creature mutated of humanoids able to speak. He also use his comic intelligence to defeat the mutation Squirrels and true genius in Dimension X. He is typically smarter than his brothers believe him to be, for he is capable of creating antidotes and retro-mutagen from random ingredients, though his brothers continue to doubt his intelligence for obvious reasons for example when Mikey sprinkled botched retro-mutagen onto his skin when Donnie had clearly labelled it as being dangerous.
* **Endurance and Stamina:** Mikey's ninja training helps with his stamnia, as he is able to withstand attacks and hits from enemies that might otherwise incapacitate a human showing his endurable body. But he shown that true strong opponents he will lose and can become unconscious.

## ​Weapons

During most of the series, Michelangelo wields a pair of Nunchaku with which, like his brothers with their chosen weapons, he is highly skilled. In some episodes he refers to them as 'chucks'—such as in The Kraang Conspiracy he says "Okay, that was just gross, dudes. I have April Derp on my chucks." (April Derp had been reduced to black goo at this point).

In The Pulverizer Returns!, Splinter says that the boys are getting too reliant on their own weapons and makes them swap. After this process, Michelangelo is left with Leonardo's Katanas (which leads him to do an impersonation of his brother and make him believe he is the leader by virtue of having the swords). During a fight, the Turtles become uncooperative with their new weapons and swap back.

When Splinter finds out, he takes away all of their weapons, stating that any object can be useful for real ninjas. When he and his brothers are trying to save Timothy, Michelangelo uses a chain and holds and fights with it in a style similar to his Nunchucks. Both of his Nunchucks can convert into Kusarigama.

In Turtle Temper and The Gauntlet he also used a Yumi bow and like the rest of his brothers wields shuriken.

In Target: April O'Neil, he briefly used a Kraang blaster that he picked up, and a plasma sword he stole from Chrome Dome, both of which he dropped after he almost hits his own brothers.

During his time in space, Michelangelo used Laser Tonfas and a Laser Blaster created by Fugitoid as his main weapons.
