What element matches which turtle?

*Kid Icarus* · 09-13-2003, 10:39 AM

Okay, heres the deal: there are 4 elements, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
How would you match the turtles up with these 4 elements? I know they made those toys a while back that had them, but they didn't have those 4.

Heres my list:
Mikey - Water, 'cause he can fit diffrent situations
Raph - Fire, 'cause he's a loose cannon
Leo - Earth, 'cause he's a solid leader
Donnie - Air, 'cause air's supposed to be the knowledge/intelegence element.

Actually, according to The Planeteers....there are FIVE elements. I shall yell them off.

EEEEEEEARTH!!.......FIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!......WIIIIII ND!!....WAAATER!!....HEART!!!

By your powers combined....I am Captin Plan.......err opps wrong show

O man.....how sad is it that I know that.

Heart is not an element of the earth, my friend...that's more of an emotional thing that Gaia made a ring for, heh.

Yeah, slap me, I actually know about Captain Planet...

I remember that show too... Captain Planet he's the hero...

GreenWillow did this in a piece on her site. I'd add my tents cents, but why bother when she's already done all the work?

Playmates had a ToyLine similar to this.

Mutant Masters
Donatello, Water Warrior
Leonardo, Wind Warrior
Michaelangelo, Thunder Warrior
Raphael, Fire Warrior

I remember that show. *sighs* Great, now I'll be singing that song all day...

~~Reznorite420~~ · 09-14-2003, 11:17 AM

I think you need to switch Mike and Don:

Mike = Air, because that's all he has in his head

Don = Water, because his scientific expertise makes versitile in any situation

*damnhooligan* · 09-14-2003, 11:37 AM

I plotted something along these lines out a while ago. (T'was a slow day, if memory serves) Though I went with the traditional Chinese elements for some reason, and tossed Splinter into the mix.

Michelangelo: Wood
Raphael: Fire
Donatello: Metal
Leonardo: Earth
Splinter: Water

All in all, I thought they fit the scheme quite nicely.

GodzFire · 09-14-2003, 12:32 PM

I would change that around a little bit:

Michelangelo: Water (Loves sports and surfing)
Raphael: Fire (Mess with him and you'll get burned)
Donatello: Metal (Don does machines, enough said)
Leonardo: Earth (The solid member of the group, leader)
Splinter: Wood (um, he's a rat....;-p)

Theyre the ancient Greek elements dude

Anyhu; Raph, fire
Leo, air
Don, earth
Mikey, water

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 09-14-2003, 06:38 PM

Leo= Earth (laying plans)
Raph= Fire (Combat, Rage)
Mike= Water (Adaptability)
Don = Wind (wind can represent technique and study)
Splinter = Void (Spirituality)
Shredder = Metal (Just look at him)

MW8979 · 09-14-2003, 07:27 PM

Well, if metal is an element, then I guess Shredder's it. But personally, I'd more associate him with Shadow. It's not technically an element but it represents dark/evil nonetheless.

**HorseTechie** · 09-15-2003, 11:35 AM

Heh.. I'm pretty set on how I see the four too. My reasonings are based off of Chinese lore and Wiccan.

I have a more indept reasoning behind those choices on my Splinter Bio page too: http://www.turtlequest.com/tmnt/kakera.html

Leo = Air
Don = earth/stone (sometimes wood)
Mike = Water
Raph = Fire
Splinter = Love

Morp · 09-15-2003, 03:07 PM

I think I would put Splinter as earth, simply because he is always there (for the most part

) as a guiding mentor/father/beacon of wisdom/whatever else for the turtles when they need help.
