hmm I not sure if ur right about the strongest part. but most trianed I know for a fact ur wrong they are all equaly trianed.
also hand to ahnd fightign whise I give to make when trying non of them has ever been able to keep up with hsi speed. also mikie weapon is one that uses a lot more hand to hand fighitng.
Leonardo trains the most and is as a result a very skilled fighter. He is also a natural leader which is why he is the leader of the Turtles when away from Splinter. He is the most serious of the bunch. He hates Raphael's bad attitude (alot like the Cyclops/Wolverine thing).
Raphael trains alot but not as much as Leonardo. He is the one with the bad temper. He is prone to berserker rages and depression. He loves to fight. Raphael is also a good fighter although he is not as skilled as Leonardo or as talented as Michaelangelo he is the deadliest of the 4.
Michaelangelo doesn't train as much as he should. He is the most naturally skilled fighter of the 4 turtles. I read from a TMNT roll playing game book that he is a phenomonally talented fighter. He is the fun-loving one of the bunch and isn't above practical jokes. He also likes a good brawl and trains most often with Raphael. The 2 of them are good buds.
Donatello trains the least and would rather build some contraption or solve a computer problem then fight. He is the smartest of the turtles.
All that info was in a TMNT role playing book. It had bios of the Ninja Turtles. It also listed their abilities, hight, weight, and temperment blah blah blah. Leo, Mike, and Don fall in the scrupulous (good) category whereas Raph is an anarchist (inbetween good and bad) but leans more to the good side.
Leo is a good leader(sometimes tries too hard to see the good in people though). Don's cool and level headed and could also lead the team. Smartest by far. See the "Same As It Never Was" episode.
Leo's the best fighter, then Mike who is a natural, although I'd like to see how Leo'd do against "serious" Mikey.
Mikey uses comic book knowledge well.
Raph is possibly the worst fighter because he always loses his cool. Would make the worst leader. Easily toyed with. Wouldn't hesitate to kill if the situation called for it though.
Don is the logical one, he'd be a better fighter if he trained more often.
Leo is best to play the field leader and its the better trained.
Mike is the turtle with the highest potential but being the most laid back he doesnt use it.
Don is easily the smartest, and best tactical turtle.
Raph its a mix of Mike and Leo. Its trained and has quite the potential also, but falls back thanks to his berserk side.
Overall i agree with Guy Smiley.
Leonardo (or "Leo"😉, a fictional character, is the unofficial leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). His bandanna is typically portrayed as blue, his favorite color (although originally all four Turtles had red bandannas), and his weapons are two katanas. He is named after Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Renaissance artist and inventor.Leonardo takes after his sensei, Splinter in taking ninjitsu very seriously. He is the closest to Splinter and spends most of his free time in practice and meditation. Leonardo has a strong sense of honor and experiences many moral dilemmas. He also is a strict follower of the Bushido code. He tends to keep his brothers (Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael) in line, and is protective of them, acting as something of a "big brother." He is also, arguably, the main character of the TMNT stories.
Raphael (or "Raph"😉, a fictional character, is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). His bandanna is red (his favorite color), and he carries two sai. His personality is usually aggressive or sullen, and he tends to be the "rebel." He is named after Raffaello Santi, the famous Renaissance artist. He is named Raffaello in the Japanese adaptations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Raphael's anger is not always fully explored, although in certain incarnations of the TMNT it seems his anger stems from realizing, more than his brothers do, that they are the only creatures of their kind and are ultimately alone. Furthermore, he is often shown as feeling jealous of his brother Leonardo, who leads the TMNT.
Michelangelo (or "Mike" or "Mikey" or "Rooish"😉 is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). His bandanna is typically portrayed as orange, his favorite color (although all four Turtles originally wore red bandannas) and his weapons are nunchaku (variously either one or two); however, he has also been portrayed using other weapons like grappling hooks and tonfas, as nunchucks are illegal in many places, so some of the TV show creators avoided using them. He is named after Michelangelo Buonarroti, the famous Renaissance sculptor, architect, painter, and poet.
Michelangelo is probably the most light-hearted/relaxed of the Turtles. Being more fun-loving than his brothers, he was given a much bigger role and was more popular in the 1987 cartoon series, directed at children, than in the more serious original comic books. He came to epitomise the early 1990s popular culture incarnation of the TMNT, coining most of their catch phrases; hence, he is possibly the most famous Ninja Turtle. In some sources he is also referred to as being the youngest of the turtles, although they are traditionally all the same age (fifteen).
onatello (or "Don" or "Donny" or "Donnie"😉, a fictional character, is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). His bandanna is typically portrayed as purple, his favorite color (although originally all four Turtles had red bandannas), and his weapon is a bo (quarterstaff), which he sometimes uses as a tool or a walking stick. He is named after Donatello (Donato di Nicollo di Betto Bardi), the famous Renaissance sculptor.
Donatello is portrayed as something of a geek. He is good with technology and he invents many of the gadgets used by the other team members, thereby saving them on countless occasions. Something of a pacifist (although he fights alongside his brothers), he is the most introspective and nonviolent of the Turtles, preferring to use his mind and intellect to find a solution to a problem. Accordingly, his weapon appears less lethal than those of his brothers. In the North American version of the 1987 cartoon show, Donatello's voice actor is Barry Gordon, who also voices Bebop. In the 2003 cartoon show, he is voiced by Sam Regal.
Donatello is generally not in the "spotlight" in any of the portrayals of the TMNT (except perhaps the Mirage Volume 4 comics), but co-creator Peter Laird has on occasions announced that Donatello is his favorite Turtle, and Donatello has a large fan following as he has a complex personality. He tends to stay out of trouble, but he does get captured occasionally in the 2003 animated series, and in the Image Comics incarnation of the TMNT, he became a cyborg after his body was partially destroyed from being shot and dropped out of a helicopter. (He maintained a positive attitude nonetheless.) This was not considered part of the "official" storyline, however.
