Yes, these characters behavior are more like plot-first than their personality. IDW Bishop respects his father and wants to make him proud yet he suddenly murder his father for no reason. It's feel like the writer want to make sure Hob stays suspiciously innocent and morally grey instead of the evil human hater that he is. Another one is Oroku Hiroto from The Last Ronin. He love his mother very much (maybe even has a little oedipus complex) and wanted to kill Splinter and the Turtles to avenge her. However, in the last issue, he suddenly reailzed that he actually hated his mom so he killed Karai. It feels like they don't want Mikey to kill a braindead enemy.
