Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids. |
Michelangelo is one of the five Ninja Turtles and one of four protagonists of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Street Fighter.
History[]
After Raphael learned about a fighting tournament in Atlantic City, the Turtles hopped on the back of a semi and rode it to New Jersey. Mikey met Chun-Li when his towering snacks at the concessions stand bumped her, and he became instantly enamored with her.
As fate would have it, Mike's match in the tournament was Chun-Li. Mike wanted to take the fight slow and let the fighters size each other up, but Chun-Li says she got everything she needed to know about Mikey from their encounter earlier. Mike gets in a couple of dodges, but ultimately is overwhelmed by her and forced to submit when she mounts his shoulders and squeezes his neck with her thighs, cutting off his airway.

During Donatello's match with Ken, Mike decides that he's going to try to discuss the situation with the "Street Fighter" gang, as they have the idea that the Turtles are behind the disappearance of several fighters from the tournament. As he and Leonardo talk to Chun-Li, Raph and Guile butt heads again, and in an ill-conceived effort to control the tempers, Jennika picks up Ryu and throws him into the ring, hitting Don. This escalates into an all-out brawl between the two parties that spills out into a nearby casino. M. Bison, seeing this as his opportunity to snatch Raph for his nefarious deeds, sends his Troopers to extract the Turtle. The two parties call a temporary truce to fight off the Bison Troopers, but they end up getting away with both Raph and Chun-Li. TMNT vs. Street Fighter #2
The two parties put aside their differences to work to rescue their kidnapped friends. The remaining crew members crowd into the casino's security office, and Guile notices one of the Bison Troopers that had been knocked out had regained consciousness and was fleeing. Mikey and Guile chase after him while the others investigate the city's delivery tunnels.
They catch up to him at a large Ferris wheel, and the Trooper starts climbing it. Mike climbs after him and brings him back down to the ground, getting the intelligence they needed from him that Chun-Li and Raph were being held at the Halo Soda Bottling Company plant. By this point, Ryu had already deduced that "Halo Soda" was an anagram for Shadaloo, M. Bison's notorious terrorist organization. Mike and Guile head to the plant on the surface while the others travel there in the underground tunnels. TMNT vs. Street Fighter #3
Mike and Guile run into Chun-Li, who had escaped to get help while Raph held off the Bison Troopers (and had been subsequently recaptured). They follow her inside the plant and begin opening the tanks that were holding the missing fighters. Chun-Li pries one open that releases Pete, who excitedly hugs Mike. Mikey tasks him with leading the other fighters outside. Guile ends up finding Raph in one and frees him. TMNT vs. Street Fighter #4
Mike, Guile, Raph, and Chun-Li catch up with Ken, Don, and Baxter Stockman, who are trying to come up with a plan after Stockman tricked Ken into destroying the panel to his and Bison's Psycho Bomb. Stockman began to regret his involvement after he found out Bison had no intention of detonating the bomb in an uninhabited desert as a show of force, but instead was sending it to Manhattan. Ken accompanies Mike's group and they head down another path which leads to Shredder trouncing the others of both camps. Mike attempts to appeal to Saki to help them take out Bison and his Psycho Bomb, reasoning that he has people he cares about back in New York too. Shredder strikes Mike and knocks him flying, triggering Chun-Li to attack Shredder in response, only for her to get flung away easily. Shredder goes after Bison, now knowing the name of his captor and thus ultimate target.
Mikey, Jenny, Leo, Guile, Ken, and Ryu catch up with Bison and Shredder and attack them both in an effort to take out both of the villains, but they keep getting brushed off as the two focus the fight on each other. Meanwhile, Raph, who had syphoned off all of the Psycho Power out of the bomb, breaks through the skylight and easily takes out Bison and Shredder. He expels all of the Psycho Power in him.
Mike calls April to cancel the evacuation of New York. Mike tries to work out why Bison hid his plan with a shell company using an anagram of his organization, and Chun-Li says Bison's just arrogant enough to do things like that. Mike finally makes her laugh with a clumsy attempt at creating an anagram with his name.
The Turtles say their goodbyes and pile into a truck headed back to New York, with Raph and Guile fighting on top of the truck all the way. TMNT vs. Street Fighter #5
