What is it that makes Casey Jones such a cool character?

Even as a kid, I always loved Casey Jones since I first saw him. It was in the first movie, the action figure, and his role in the cartoon. Then when I got older and read the comics, I loved him even more in the Mirage canon.

What is it about Casey Jones that makes him so likeable? Is it the fact that he just goes around with a hockey mask, normal sports equipment, and starts beating up criminals?

His personality is the typical not-too-bright knucklehead, yet he seems like an awesome guy to hang out with, lift weights with, or go somewhere around. His relationship with the Turtles, and eventually April and Shadow has always been nice. He just has the typical joe personality from the 80's who brings back nostalgic memories of that time era, with his ripped up shirt and sweat pants running around NYC.

So, why do YOU like Casey Jones?
