Turtles are heroes but each one has a superhero/vigilante persona:
Mikey: Turtle Titan Raph: The Nightwatcher Donatello: Dark Turtle Leonardo is the only one that doesn't have one |

Never viewed Turtles as a superheroes, like Batman or Spider-Man. For me they are always were more like "community volunteers" who watched after peace in between training, family time and pizza. Though, of course, this impression has been formed largely by FW series, but I don't think any other TMNT media change it.
This idea, influenced a lot of my writing to the point that characters I write are more like "community volunteers" or agency officers, rather than vigilantes. |

Basically. After "Mission Accomplished!" on killing Oroku Saki, they just kind of live their lives.

IDK... in a certain way the 80's Turtles also rarely patrolled the streets looking for crime to fight. Their main mission was to fight Shredder, it's not their fault he keeps coming back with a new scheme every week. And when he's blasted off into space or the bottom of the ocean or the arctic, Shredder STILL comes back.
There's been episodes where the turtles legit just wanna kick back and do nothing after they think Shredder's gone for good. It's Splinter that keeps bugging them telling them that there's other bad guys out there. I guess they're too scared to talk back and say 'that's what the police are for'.
