Raphael (Archie)

As Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures started as an adaptation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series), Raphael began identical to his animated counterpart. As the series began to take on a life of its own, Raphael changed his costume, donning a black bodysuit he got while fighting on Stump Arena (As opposed to his usual red bandanna and pads), which he claimed was more appropriate for a ninja, as well as a way for him to express his individuality. Raph eventually discarded this uniform and went back to the usual mask and belt, after it showed no real function. He disliked having to travel in Cudley the Cowlick's mouth.

Raphael formed a relationship with the fox warrior Ninjara who became his girlfriend in this Archie-comics series, but broke up in the end over personal disagreements.

In the future, Raphael will marry a humanoid coyote named Mezcaal and run a restaurant together called Turtle Island.

As opposed to his cartoon counterpart at the time, this Raph showed the same hothead and abrasiveness he had in the movies.

Other Appearances
This version of Raphael made cameo appearances in Turtles Forever and All Tomorrow's Yesterdays.
