History Characters / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014

* GutteralGrowler: He often growls when he speaks. As Michaelangelo jokes, "hey, look, he's doing his Batman voice!".

* KnifeNut: As per usual. His PoweredArmor has several retractable blades per arm, and he can even pull them out to make a double-edged blade. The suit can also fire the blades, and safely bring them back with magnets. He looks like a Swiss army knife.

* AdaptationalModesty: Instead of looking like a diaper-donning fat man, Krang's mech suit looks almost entirely robotic save for the head.

* MulticoloredHair: In the first film. By ''Out of the Shadows'', she's ditched this hairstyle.

* BadassMustache: He sports a truly wicked Fu Manchu.

* HotBloodedSideburns: Rocksteady sports some very impressive muttonchops before his transformation. Combines this with BadassMustache

* GeekPhysiques: Donnie's the tallest of the four, standing at least half a head taller than either Raph or Leo--and while he's still muscular, he's also got a much leaner build compared to his brothers.

* RealityEnsues: Krang gets a dose of this when he tries to slide himself back into his android body, only to be too large for the cockpit. He demands that the android push him in. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Well, it pushed him in, all right...]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Once Shredder has finished building the Arc Capacitor, Krang betrays him and turns him into a HumanPopsicle.]]

** Leonardo sports shoulder guards and other samurai-style armor garments. He's also the most "average" build of the four.
** Donatello is decked from head to shell in various gadgets, including goggles mounted on his forehead and stereotypically taped NerdGlasses. He's also the tallest and thinnest of the brothers.

* HappilyAdopted: All four of them love Splinter as if he were their real father; Leo even outright addresses him as "Dad" at one point.

* TheBigGuy: All of the Turtles are much larger compared to their traditional appearances, but Raphael is noticeably the bulkiest of the four.

* GeekPhysiques: Donnie is the tallest of the four brothers, standing half a head taller than Raph or Leo, and is skinny compared to the others.

* TelescopingStaff: His bo is given this treatment here.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: As is typical of most portrayals of Mikey he's the most immature and spacey of his brothers, though no less dangerous.

* CloudCuckooLander: Is usually on a slightly different page than everyone else. For example, when told that Beebop and Rocksteady are several thousand miles in the air, he assumes they've achieved the power of flight.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: ''Out of the Shadows'' shows Mikey's strong desire to be able to fit in with normal people.

** Leonardo: [[spoiler: doing the splits on cinderblocks while balancing eggs on single chopsticks and on his head]].

--> ''"I'm a triple threat: brains, brawn and a dazzling personality!"''

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: As is typical of most portrayals of Mikey he's the most immature and spacey of his brothers, though no less dangerous.
* BadBadActing: When the Turtles get caught and floored by Splinter for sneaking out without his permission, Michelangelo attempted to pass himself off as sleepwalking and therefore not responsible for his actions. Naturally, this wasn't bought and he gets floored as well.
* BigEater: Is usually the one seen eating. He was seen eating at least four slices of pizza ''at the same time''.
* BreakTheCutie: In the sequel, Michelangelo was visibly the most hurt when he and the others' presence were exposed and labeled as monsters.
--> '''Michelangelo:''' We're not monsters...
* ChivalrousPervert: He has April on his mind in pretty much every non-action scene where they interact. He even apologizes for how creepy his "We will find you" line sounded when she first meets them.
* CloudCuckooLander: Is usually on a slightly different page than everyone else. For example, when told that Beebop and Rocksteady are several thousand miles in the air, he assumes they've achieved the power of flight.
--> '''Mikey:''' You know what, good for them!
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When April sees the turtles for the first time, Michelangelo thinks she was more scared by their bandanna masks than the fact that she sees giant talking turtles standing before her.
* CoolBoard: He has a jet-propelled skateboard. In the sequel, it's shown to actually be able to fly and even hover.
* DualWielding: His two sets of nunchakus as per usual.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: ''Out of the Shadows'' shows Mikey's strong desire to be able to fit in with normal people.
* InterspeciesRomance: He has a crush on April O’Neil. However, it is not acknowledged by April. He tells his brothers that he has dibs on April after they meet her and he refers to her as his girlfriend when he realizes that she is the hogosha. He is always trying to flirt with her and be romantic, though her safety is his biggest concern when they are in danger.
* JiveTurkey: He talks in a more "urban" slang style than the "surfer" slang he's usually been associated with. Interestingly enough, this is not only a modernization but a development gag from [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the 87 show]] before it was ultimately decided they should be TotallyRadical.

[[folder: The Turtles]]

* MilitaryBrat: His father was a US serviceman stationed on Okinawa, who died during a deployment to Vietnam.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He appears to be a clean-cut businessman who publicly opposes the Foot Clan, but in reality, [[spoiler: he's one of their high-ranking members]].

[[folder: Casey Jones]]
-> '''Portrayed by:''' Creator/StephenAmell

* AffectionateNickname: "The New Guy". Leo also calls him "Friday the 13th" because of his mask, which the guys make fun of a lot.
* ButtMonkey: Takes grief from just about everybody.
* CassandraTruth: Ninjas on motorcycles? Manhole-shooting garbage truck? Sure thing, Jones.
* CoolMask: Sports his trademark goalie's mask.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: His hockey stick.
* ImprobablyCoolCar: How the hell can he afford a Dodge Challenger Hellcat on an NYPD officer's salary!?
* InNameOnly: Has nothing in common with his comic book counterpart and other versions outside of his name, skills with hockey, weapon (which is a hockey stick), and trademark goalie's mask.
* RollerbladeGood: Jury rigs a pair out of office chair wheels and duct tape.
* TheSixthRanger: Although hesitant at first, Casey joins the Turtles in the plan to stop Shredder and Krang after learning that they had helped him fend off the Foot Clan. He's immediately known as "The New Guy".

[[folder:Rebecca Vincent]]
-> '''Portrayed by:''' Creator/LauraLinney

* DaChief: She's the Police Chief.
* FriendOnTheForce: Becomes this.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She's portrayed as a bit of a BitchInSheepsClothing at first but gradually evolves into this at the latter end of the film, setting April and Casey free when April's innocence was finally proven and even deciding to overlook the fact that Casey had stolen her cell phone in order to prove their innocence. Her attitude towards the TMNT also evolves, seeing them as monsters at first but eventually coming to see them as heroes.

* OrwellianEditor: Stockman covers his tracks by altering security camera footage to make it appear that April O'Neil and Casey Jones stole the Ooze from Stockman's labs, and hiding his involvement with Shredder and the mutation of Bebop and Rocksteady.

* TheAce: [[spoiler: Lacking the Hamato Yoshi aspect of the Turtle canon, Splinter learned, out of a book, how to be such a skilled ninjitsu combat master that he was not only able to train his sons into equally powerful warriors, but was able to be a virtual match for another warrior with potentially decades more combat experience ''wearing a suit of powered armor''.]]

* BrokenPedestal: April starts the film admiring [[spoiler:Eric Sacks]] for publicly opposing the actions of the Foot Clan, until it is revealed that [[spoiler:not only is he a member of the Foot Clan, he is the Shredder's [[TheDragon right-hand man]].]] That pedestal is completely obliterated by the end of the film when it's revealed [[spoiler:Sacks [[YouKilledMyFather killed April's father]] after the later discovered the true purpose of Project Renaissance and tried to stop the former.]]

* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Where most versions of April only meet the Turtles years after they were exposed to mutagen, here the turtles are explicitly referred to by April as her childhood pets pre-mutation, and she later describes them as family.

* AdaptationalWimp: Goes from being able to go toe-to-toe with the Turtles in most media to getting easily defeated by them with little effort. Taken UpToEleven in the sequel, where she's easily subdued by ''April O'Neil'' of all people.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Subverted. Brittany Ishibashi's take on the character has a low contralto, but her only fight scene has her easily get her ass kicked.

* FauxActionGirl: She's the Shredder's second-in-command, but she easily gets her ass kicked throughout the films.
* TheHeavy: While the Shredder operates behind the scenes, she's the one who leads the Foot personally during missions in the first film.

* SatelliteCharacter

* {{Adorkable}}: There are a few times when the turtles really do act like teenagers, treating their own exploits like kids would. A particularly funny moment has the group in an elevator right before the climax and they all start beatboxing and using their weapons as instruments in turn, including [[NotSoStoic Raph and Leo]]. Another funny moment has Donatello wonder if his telescoping staff has the punch to flip a humvee, and as it does so [[BulletTime in slow motion]] the camera lingers on his glee-filled face.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Bebop" and "Rocksteady" are just criminal aliases that they've adopted (as shown on the rap sheets that Casey Jones looks at) and their real names are never said -- though the rap sheets do have them listed as Rocksteady's real name, Owen Rocksteed, is shown when Casey looks at them.
