What is your favorite TMNT universe?

I was thinking about which Turtle did each universe focus most on.

Mirage- I think this one leans towards being Donatello centric, if it were to have a Turtle more emphasized. Many of the storylines feature the sci-fi and technology domain that Donnie focuses on. He gets one of the two transformations in the current Mirage volume 4.

OT- Definitely Michelangelo! Pizza, cowabunga, surfer slang, more Mikey-centric episodes than for any other Turtles, and so on. He gets into trouble more than in any other version, and more than any other Turtle. He was the one chosen for the SuperStar special about saying no to drugs. The OT is totally Mikey's world.

Movies- Raphael, for sure. While he is the cynical sardonic Turtle in all universes, the movies do show the most about him. In the first one he goes off on his own and is the one to yell for Splinter and the one who hugs him the longest at the end. In the second one again he goes off on his own and gets captured. On the third one he is the one befriending the little boy. And you can see how much the 4th one dwelves on him.

NT- From what I have seen, it may be that Leonardo got finally to be the focus on the NT. A lot of the Shredder/Foot/Karai episodes have him as the focus. And he is the one who gets shell shock and who goes to meet the Ancient One first. He even is the one who stays listening to the Ancient One's story while his brothers run off to play. And the first episode is narrated from his point of view.

Archie- I have not read any of the Archie comics. However, since Raphael got the girlfriend, do they focus more on him than on any of the other Turtles?

Image- I have not read any of them either.

TNM- we know exactly who it focuses on.
