History Characters / RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesClanHamato

* InformedSpecies: He's a soft-shelled turtle, but lacks its most distinctive feature, the long snout. It's worth noting, however, that he ''was'' shown with a long snout pre-mutation, so it's possible that the human DNA has something to do with that.

* AgeLift: In most of his incarnations, Raphael is usually not the oldest of the turtles despite all of them technically being the same age (general fan theory is he is the second oldest, although Co-creator Kevin Eastman [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2dkbtl/comment/cjqb686/ has stated that he believes Don is older than Raph, making him the second youngest]]). Here, he's the oldest one of his brothers, being a year older than Leo and Don and two years older than Mikey.

* AgeLift: In all incarnations, according to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2dkbtl/comment/cjqb686/ Franchise co-creator Kevin Eastman, Donatello is the second oldest]] despite all four brothers being the same age. Here he and Leo are both a year younger than Raph and a year older than Mikey, making Leo and Don the second oldest. Although official sources do not confirm it, fans are divided on which "twin" is the older of the two.

* BrokenPedestal: Was a huge fan of the wrestler Ghostbear, who outright admitted he cheated his way to fame.

* DropTheHammer: One of his bo staff's new features turns it into a ''[[RocketPoweredWeapon rocket hammer.]]''
* EmbarrassingNickname: [=Bootyyyshaker9000=] (3 y's)

* BioweaponBeast: [[spoiler: What the turtles were created to be. Draxum meant to create powerful mutant warriors using Splinter's DNA but Splinter was able to scape with the recently mutated baby turtles.]]

* AccentsArentHereditary: While Splinter has a clear Japanese accent, none of the turtles have this accent.[[spoiler:Justified in that the turtles grew up in New York and Splinter is actually from Japan.]]

* GoodParents: While he can screw up more often that past incarnations, Splinter in this series may have the best fatherly traits out of all his past incarnations. He shows no ParentalFavoritism, wants his kids to still be kids and have a happy life, is more affectionate towards them, steps in the way of a fight just to protect them, and shows how he is proud of every single one of them. It's no wonder that the turtles call him "Dad" more times in this series than in past incarnations.

* GoodParents: While he can screw up more often that past incarnations, Splinter in this series May be one of the better portrayals of him as a father. He shows no ParentalFavoritism, wants his kids to still be kids and have a happy life, is more affectionate towards them, steps in the way of a fight just to protect them, and shows how he is proud of every single one of them. It's no wonder that the turtles call him "Dad" more times in this series than in past incarnations.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In all incarnations, Splinter was probably strict and sometimes stubborn at worst. Here, he is more of a rude jerk than he has ever been. That said, he also has the least portrayed ParentalFavoritism, and is regarded as a father first and a teacher second. As the first season goes on, his "jerkness" becomes more like a bad first impression and he shows (and says) that he truly does love his sons on multiple occasions.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While a lot more of an irritable lazy jerk, he is also the version of Splinter that shows no ParentalFavoritism and treats all of his sons equally for the most part. He also allows his sons to act like normal kids and prioritizes their wellbeing’s over being a ninja, even [[spoiler: shredding his ancestors’ ancient scroll when they suggest [[ScrewDestiny leaving his sons to die.]]]] He occasionally does stuff like watching movies with them, calls them by their signature colors as their [[AffectionateNickname Affectionate Nicknames,]] and offering a hug as incentive for a mission, which all four gladly accept before he can offer something better. Most of his teachings towards them was due to wanting to show off, but he never [[spoiler: wanted to force the Hamato destiny of protecting the Dark Armor onto any of them, so when he realizes the Foot’s plan, he opts to fight them himself, and tells April to tell them that he loves them.]] It’s no wonder that these turtles call Splinter “dad” more casually than any other version.

* AgeLift: In all incarnations, Donatello is the second youngest despite all four brothers being the same age. Here he and Leo are both a year younger than Raph and a year older than Mikey, making Leo and
Don the second oldest. Although official sources do not confirm it, fans are divided on which “twin” is the older of the two.

* AgeLift: More of a slight lower. He's usually the eldest of the four brothers; here, he's the second oldest along with Donatello. While official sources do not confirm it, fans are split on which twin is older.

* AgeLift: In most of his incarnations, Raphael is usually the second oldest of the turtles. Here, he's the oldest one of his brothers.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Mikey is often youngest, but being 13 is the smallest the franchise has done yet. While not outright babied most of the time, the others are usually quite friendly with their youngest sibling, offering him pats on the head for comfort, not minding & accepting his sometimes spontaneous hugs, and take extra time to make sure he's safe.
