Three Alternate Universe Scenarios

[Scandia]

How would things have unfolded in the overall plot and for the Turtles if any of these 3 alternate universe scenarios would have happened:

- Splinter most like Donatello

- Splinter most like Raphael

- Splinter most like Michelangelo

What would have happened from the very beginning? What would have happened with the enemies? How would things have ended up for everyone?

Do you mean if Splinter liked them more or if Splinter was like them like in similarity? Because I think Splinter stated that he likes and loves all his sons equally.

Similar personalities.

Ah, well I'll need some time.

So, we're assuming that Splinter and Leonardo are so close because they have similar personalities? I thought it was Leo's dedication that made him "teacher's pet."

[Scandia]

Their personalities are quite similar. They have very similar tastes as well. Leo gets his determination from somewhere.

There is no denying that Splinter's personality is most similar to Leo's and least like either Mikey or Raph. There is a reason why he's nicknamed "Splitner Jr.".

So what would the Turtles be like if Splinter were a scientist engineer like Donnie, a hothead cynic like Raph, or a fun loving goofball like Mikey? I think the TMNT plot would have been very different. I don't even know if they would have been ninjas.

Well, it's kinda hard to say. I do rememeber an example of him acting like Raphael in Rogue in the House 1, when he got steamed up after a robot replica of him tried to kill him and his sons, and in that situation, he kinda urged getting involved in a fight, when he's more likely to resist getting involved in fights. So if he was more like Raphael, they'd probably get involved in a lot more fights, and he'd be involved more often.
