History Characters / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014

* ImprobableWeaponUser: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]. Aside from his hockey stick, he also uses an ''improvised hockey stick'' out of an L-shaped metal, to use as his weapon at one point.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: His hockey stick.

* WalkingArmoury: 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.

* KiddieKid: 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.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Despite being, well, a brain, Krang quite literally slaps Shredder around a lot. Whether or not this is due to Krang ''really'' being that powerful or Shredder just being shell-shocked at seeing a wad of chewing gum interrogating him is unknown. Oh yeah, and he apparently holds the title of Commander.

* CatchPhrase: "My man!"/"''My'' man!"

* AdaptationalUgliness: While they are occasionally described as freaks by some characters in the comics and most incarnations due to being mutant anthropomorphic turtles, the Turtles usually tend to look just fine and/or (in regards to the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 incarnation of the Turtles]]) adorable. In this film series, the Turtles look very hideous, bizarre, and somewhat frightening, which therefore makes them qualify as mutant freaks.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Subverted. Brittany Ishibashi's take on the character has a low contralto, but her only fight scene has her easily get subdued.

* BadassBaritone: His voice is much deeper than his siblings.

* TheChick: April would fill this role. In the sequel, she even work with the turtles to investigate Dr. Stockman and his ties with Shredder.

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

* AdaptationalUgliness: While they are occasionally described as freaks by some characters in the comics and most incarnations due to being mutant anthropomorphic turtles, the Turtles usually tend to look just fine and/or (in regards to the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 incarnation of the Turtles]]) adorable. In this film series, the Turtles look very hideous, bizarre, and somewhat frightening, which therefore makes them qualify mutant freaks.

* DelinquentHair: Beebop is sporting his signature purple mohawk, because there wouldn't be any point calling him Beebop otherwise. Unlike Rocksteady's hair, his survives his transformation.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original cartoon, Bebop and Rocksteady were never particularly dangerous enemies. While they were physically stronger than the Turtles, they were DumbMuscle who were too incompetent to be a threat. As the turtles in these films already have SuperStrength, Bebop and Rocksteady are even stronger and more violent, easily tossing cars out of the way while on a rampage. And while they are still idiots, they are somewhat more competent, presumably because this Shredder won't stand for failure.

* ShesGotLegs: Her nice legs tend to be highlighted by the skintight pants or other outfits that she wears.

* DistinctiveAppearances[=/=]DivergentCharacterEvolution: The individual turtles are much more visually diverse than in any past incarnation. It goes beyond [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coding their masks]] and [[WeaponOfChoice weapons]], to major clothing differences and physical stature. Though this was somewhat dialed back for [[CostumeEvolution more streamlined designs]] in ''Out of the Shadows'', probably after fans complained they looked too "busy".

* KatanasAreJustBetter: A pair of them, slung over his back, are his [[WeaponOfChoice weapons of choice]].

* DualWielding: Twin [[SaiGuy sai]].

* SpinToDeflectStuff: True to tradition, he does this with his [[WeaponOfChoice signature]] Bo staff. [[RuleOfCool Against machine guns]]. At point-blank range. Justified in that the ammunition they are using are darts, which fly much more slowly.

* BalefulPolymorph: Subverted, while neither of them were transformed of their own free will, they take it well and seem more excited than anything else.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: 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.

* SimpleStaff: His signature weapon, although it's been given a few upgrades: it retracts into the handle at the push of a button, it's strong enough to flip a speeding humvee, and in the sequel it's ''electrified''. Not exactly "simple" anymore.

* SpinToDeflectStuff: True to tradition, he does this with his [[WeaponOfChoice signature]] [[SimpleStaff Bo staff]]. [[RuleOfCool Against machine guns]]. At point-blank range. Justified in that the ammunition they are using are darts, which fly much more slowly.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Even ignoring the fact that Shredder is played by different actors in both films, he is looks younger, shorter, and has little to no scars on his face in ''Out of the Shadows''.

* LaughablyEvil

* SpinToDeflectStuff: True to tradition, he does this with his [[WeaponOfChoice signature]] [[SimpleStaff Bo staff]]. [[RuleOfCool Against machine guns]]. [[UpToEleven At point-blank range]]. Justified in that the ammunition they are using are darts, which fly much more slowly.

* LightningBruiser: Taken UpToEleven. Shredder's PoweredArmor gives him enough physical strength to beat Raphael in a straight contest of strength, and he's noticeably faster than the Turtles. [[spoiler: Splinter not only proves to be as fast if not faster than the armor, but Shredder noticeably struggles to stop Splinter's sword from stabbing him at one point. This despite Splinter being roughly a quarter the size of the armor or the Turtles.]]
