-Bodycount, in which Raphael gets drunk & uses a machine gun.

-Vol. 3's arc where he takes ownership of The Foot Clan.

-Rise on a whole, it portrays him as a big lug, a total bruiser yet loveable teddy bear, filled with determination. I loved what a refreshing change of pace it was for him, as I quickly tire of most other iterations & their one-noted angst. His motivational & heart string tugging speech in the finale was so good.

-Mirage issues that show us his final years, as a relatively feral hunter type. We see that without his family to tether him to civility, his baser, rage-fueled impulses completely take over. It's sad, but interesting.

-Many of his Fred Wolf one-liners are memorable, classic quips. "We're dealing with a real mind here." Rob Paulsen's delivery, man.

-Josh Pais X Jim Henson, what a compelling Raphael we got in 1990's live action film. You can really feel for him, going through the throws of teenage life are hard enough, without having to feel like a "freak", be targeted by hordes of ninja, & your own worst enemy, all at once.
