Michelangelo is a member of the Ninja Turtles, and is considered the goofball of the group.
History[]
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issue 1[]
Mikey and his brothers encountered the Foot Clan on a rooftop in New York City, and during the fight he and Donatello discussed the things they would like about being human. They witnessed a ninja - whom they nicknamed "Steve" - overwhelm Raphael, though the Turtles were able to defeat the Foot overall.
Later, the Turtles caught "Steve" trying to break into Mason Technologies. Steve morphed and revealed himself to be the Green Power Ranger, Tommy Oliver. His morphing clued the other Power Rangers into his location, and upon seeing the Turtles fighting Tommy, assumed they were Rita Repulsa's monsters and attacked them.
After the Turtles and Rangers realized they were both on the same side, they hung out for a bit while trying to figure out where Tommy was now. Mikey discussed pizza toppings with Zack Taylor, the Black Ranger.
Powers and abilities[]
- Ninjutsu: Michelangelo has trained almost his entire life in the art of ninjutsu, which includes not only armed and unarmed combat, but subjects of stealth, strategy, espionage, information-gathering, escape, and more.
- Olympic level athlete: Due to his extensive training in ninjutsu, Michelangelo is an exemplary athlete and could potentially compete at professional events if he were able to.
- Attitude: Though often considered the "goofball" of the group, Michelangelo's mannerisms and banter have the advantage of being disarming enough that his enemies underestimate him.
- Mutant turtle physiology: Michelangelo has the advantages (and potential disadvantages) with being a bipedal turtle of humanoid size and stature. Most prominent, is his shell, a natural armor comprised of the carapace and plastron. Michelangelo also has the capability to swim in a class far exceeding any human, and has additional underwater-based attributes such as the ability to hold his breath longer, increased visibility, and better mobility.
