Donatello's Scientific Scope

*Donnie* · 03-24-2016, 10:08 AM

We all know that Donatello is the Scientist. However, his aptitude for specific areas of science throughout different incarnations are sort of blurred. It's clear from the Mirage comics, and I suppose the OT, that he naturally excels in the Technological and Engineering fields of science. This may come across in every depiction of the character.

However, there are a bunch of other branches of science -- Earth Science (geology, meteorology, oceanography, etc.), Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Do you think that Donatello has a strong knowledge of these other fields of science? If so, can you cite examples? Nothing concrete comes to my mind, although I do know that Donnie has often provided scientific analysis or knowledge in these fields in various incarnations. It just seems like, on the whole, Donatello knows the most about Technology and Engineering.
