At first it might seem like Raph would be the one to go to the dark side, since he seems to walk a bit of a darker path than the other turtles anyway, but I think Leo would be more likely. Since we're using the whole "dark side" terminology anyway, Leo's recent behavior is reminiscent of Annakin in the latest Star Wars movies. He's obsessed with protecting his friends, and while his intentions are good, he is still young and not quite mature enough to make the right decisions yet. Add to that the pressure of being the "good guy" all the time, along with all the cardboard cutout stereotypes that go along with it, and the fact that his role as the leader of the group isolates him and makes it difficult for him to share any of what's boiling inside of him, and you get one angsty turtle.
