Michelangelo's Secret Identity

[Powder]

Yes it sounds like the title to an OT episode. However...


"He is also the basis for the character of Michealangelo, one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, according to TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman."

That statement regards Steve Lavigne, long time Mirage artist & product art designer.

I know wikipedia gets knocked for lack of credibility at times, but hey what the heck. It may very well be true.

Obviously Mirage Mikey was based on him rather than any other version, as we know David Wise made Mikey who he was in the OT.

That's cool!

Yeah, David Wise had someone else as an inspiration for Mike, but I can't remember who.

Wise wrote Mikey to be like Sean Penn's character Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Seriously? If so, can I get an "alas"?

By the way, where's "The Michelangelo Thread"? I know you Mikey fans are out there somewhere...
