'''Mikey''': I said screw you! You betrayed everything you taught us! Everything you told us to be! [[spoiler:These kids lost all they've ever known, and instead of helping them, and instead of helping them you want to turn them into weapons?!]] You're worse than Shredder!

Added DiffLines:

* ThouShaltNotKill: They follow a very strict non-killing code. In the very first issue, when battling Old Hob and his thugs, Splinter reminds the Turtles that "none must die!" Several times this attitude comes up, particularly with Splinter, who repeatedly and blatantly refuses to kill even when informed that it's the only way to save his own life. [[spoiler: Then he subverts it by breaking the code and killing Shredder, after which he takes over the Foot Clan. The Turtles are shocked and distraught by this -- particularly Michelangelo, who essentially walks out on Splinter afterwards, claiming that the rat is turning into everything that he taught the Turtles to fight against.]]

* TheIdealist: More than any of his brothers, Michelangelo is inclined to see the positive in just about anything and anyone, and genuinely believes that people, on the whole, are good.

This may be the biggest reason why he takes Splinter's HazyFeelTurn the worst -- and why he's the one who starts CallingTheOldManOut.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: At least intitially, he's a borderline AgentScully, heavily skeptical of anything spiritual or spiritual, preferring the mondane or scientific explanation. He pretty much admits that it's only respect for Splinter that keeps him from outright dismissing the revelation of their reincarnation as nonsense; but he's not willing to "accept things on blind faith" without "some kind of empirical evidence."

* BreakTheHaughty: As part of his backstory. As a human in Feudal Japan, he was a proud and temperamental man bordering on JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but he suffered greatly for his haughtiness. In the end he lost his wife, his sons, and his life -- then, being reincarnated as a rat and then mutated, he took this as a second chance, to be a better person than he'd been before.



* MartialPacifist: While he definitely wasn't one back when he was human, death and reincarnation as a rat seems to have given him this attitude. While he's fine with fighting he only wants it to be done in self-defense and ''never'' to kill. In the first issue when he and the Turtles are up against Old Hob and some of his hired human goons, Splinter specifically tells his sons that "none must die." His utter refusal to kill anyone comes up several times after that, [[spoiler:until he finally breaks his principles and kills Shredder.]]
* NotSoDifferent: Surprisingly, he reveals that he was a lot like Raphael when he was young; hotheaded, easily-angered and quick to violence. [[BreakTheHaughty Losing his wife, and then dying and being reincarnated as a rat mellowed him out considerably.]]



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Though he can be strict, he is a loving and patient father and sensei. [[spoiler:When taking control of the Foot Clan he becomes the ReasonableAuthorityFigure for the clan, though circumstances means he might be SlowlySlippingIntoEvil -- see below.]]

* ProudToBeAGeek: A trait he shares with Donatello, to the point where Raphael calls them "the geek twins"; though where Donatello's a science geek, Michelangelo's an unashamed and enthusiastic pop culture geek; a great fan of comic books, science fiction, fantasy and video games. When he discovers that he knows how to read Japanese his initial reaction is delight: "I just realized! I can read more manga now!"

!!As a whole

* GeneticMemory: Since only 15 months have passed when the series begins, the Turtles didn't grow up learning to be ninjas — [[{{Reincarnation}} in this life]], and their training in the present day is like re-learning and improving skills they somehow already knew. Also unwittingly displayed by Mikey as he can read Japanese, surprising everyone including himself.
* PastLifeMemories: They have slivers of these, though not to Splinter's extent.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Of Hamato Yoshi's four sons.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Leonardo]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leo.jpg]]

The dutiful eldest brother. Leo is the turtle most consistently loyal to their father and sensei.
----
* HesBack: At the end of #31, when [[spoiler: Koya has ambushed the turtles at the O'Neil farm, Leonardo comes out of nowhere to face her, once again donning his trademark blue eyemask]]. Mikey even gets to acknowledge the trope at the beginning of the following issue.
* MoreThanMindControl: Thanks to [[spoiler: some Foot Clan magic, he unwillingly becomes Dark Leonardo]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the ''Turtles in Time'' storyline, he [[spoiler:almost breaks the timeline to stop Oroku Saki from killing the Hamato family]]. Unfortunately, Saki takes it as an omen and adopts the policy that ends in exactly that.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Raphael]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raph.jpg]]

The loose cannon. Raphael is gruff and he lives for the thrill of a fight, though his passion is borne from the fact that he cares deeply for his family and friends.
----
* LoveConfessor: Raph uncertainly admits to Angel that he loves Alopex (at the very least, he doesn't outright deny it when she asks if he loves Alopex), but acknowledges that he and her are [[InterspeciesRomance biologically incompatible]]. However, he also goes on to admit that he feels comfortable with her, given that [[BirdsOfAFeather they're both loners who've dealt with a lot]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Donatello]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donnie_9.jpg]]

The brains of the four. He frequently butts heads with Leo and Splinter regarding strategy, though he always has the best interests of the many in mind.
----
* DisneyDeath: At [[spoiler:the end of #44, he's brutally beaten by Bebop and Rocksteady and seemingly killed. As it turns out, his spirit is alive on another plane of existence, and ends up returning by possessing MetalHead while the Fugitoid uses an alien mutagen to heal his body.]]
* HesBack: In issue 50, [[spoiler:he shows up fully healed to deliver the knockout blow to Bebop and Rocksteady.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Michelangelo]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikey.jpg]]

The youngest brother and the one most averse to violence. He is carefree and genuine which often makes him the emotional core of the family.
----
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In issue 50. [[spoiler: The minute Splinter takes control of the Foot Clan, Mikey bails out, afraid of [[HeWhoFightsMonsters ending up like Shredder]].]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Splinter]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/splinter.jpg]]

Mutated rat and reincarnated form of Hamato Yoshi. He teaches his turtle sons and trains them to fight the Shredder and their many other foes.
----
* KlingonPromotion: In issue 50, he [[spoiler: takes control of the Foot Clan after Shredder's death, intending to remake it as a noble organization.]]
* PastLifeMemories: Moreso than the Turtles, possibly because of the additional brain enhancements he received pre-mutation.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Of Hamato Yoshi.
* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: Implied to be happening to him, after [[spoiler:taking control of the Foot Clan and having to take steadily more ruthless actions to prevent other factions from taking control]]. Interestingly, Splinter himself seems to be aware of this, as [[spoiler:he deliberately encouraged the Turtles to turn their back on the Foot Clan - and him, as well - so they wouldn't be party to his more ruthless actions.]]
