Well, yeah, I think it would be great if Jason becomes a stronger, more capable character. But I think he ought not to do that all alone. Even the turtles, who were taught to be tough survivors, have a family. The TMNT multiverse has often been about families being forged over time from a lot of different characters who are not necessarily genetically related to each other. Splinter has four sons who are not related to him, a surrogate daughter (April) who is not related to him, the turtles have a surrogate brother (Casey), a surrogate sister (April) and a stepsister (Karai) who are not related to them. Of course, when the relationship is adoptive or surrogate between characters who aren't genetically related and didn't grow up together, they can also become potential love interests (April with Donnie or Casey, Leo with Karai). And then there's whatever Mikey/Leatherhead and Raph/Slash are. XD If someone like Jason even so much as regularly spends time with his new friends, he could become as close to them as April or Casey became to Splinter and the turtles. However, considering the show's overall formula of regular characters vs. guest characters, something tells me that Jason may end up being more of an occasional guest character.
