Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Created | Updated Dec 11, 2002
These are the main Characters:
Shredder: The main bad-guy. Controls the Foot Clan. He is human, but he wears a mask and he covers himself in spiked body armor.
Foot Clan: Secret group of Ninja thieves; Shredder's minions.
Krang: Disembodied brain from Dimension X. He is Shredder's accomplice in crime, but he doesn't appear in the movies.
Bebop and Rocksteady: Two of Krang and Shredder's main thugs. They do not appear in the movies, either.
Ta-Tzu: Leader of the Foot Clan (although he is subservient to Shredder). I believe that he is only in the movies.
Splinter: Mutant, wise, Ninja rat. He is the Turtles' mentor, and he occasionally shows up at a critical point to save the Turtles. He found and named the Turtles from a Renaisance artbook. Therefore, the Turtles' names may look familiar.
Leonardo: The leader of the Turtles. He is dutiful, but certainly no less fun-loving than the other Turtles. He wears a blue headband, and he wields a sword.
Donatello: The smart one. However, this doesn't by distance him from his brothers. His intelligence does not show unless he needs to use it. Donatello wears a purple headband, and he has a Bo staff.
Michaelangelo: The most comical of the Turtles. All four Turtles share an almost fanatical love for pizza for some reason, but Michaelangelo likes it most of all. He wears an orange headband, and his weapons are nunchuks.
Raphael: "Crude." He is a little intolerant and irresponsible. He occasionally antagonizes Leonardo, but this doesn't actually affect their friendship. Raphael wears a red headband, and fights with two daggers.
April O'Neil: A non-mutated news reporter who is the Turtles' close friend. The Turtles are not well-known in New York City, and most of those who have encountered them do not know what to make of them. Only April knows the Turtles closely.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' hideout is in a sewer, where they can not be found. They try to save the city, and they do a pretty good job of it too. If you want to watch the movies, you do not have to read the comic books or see the TV show to understand them. Just be warned: Movie #2 is the best by far, and it is not hard to gather the story from #1 just by watching #2.
