Which 2 turtle combo is the real 'A' Team?

[Ninjinister]

Venus and Kerma.

wow, based on everyones choices and the reasons behind their combinations, Mike is just a dud huh? No one has really named some characteritcs that would makw him a good "A team" Without adding how his vices typically negate his better qualities.

In the OT I thought the Leo+Mike and Don+Raph combos were interesting. Raph and Don played off each well because they both seemed cynical and "harder edged" in their thinking while Leo and Mike were most idealistic. Notice in that Red Sky episiode the team "splits up" it is Raph and Don who want to join the anti-human pro mutant team while Leo and Mike were skeptical on their motives? There were plenty of instances of that kind of division in the OT.

Don had a much bigger temper in the OT than other incarnations though.

Mikey can be a powerhouse when he needs to be. He can focus and rise to the occasion

Which is why I've always liked the Raph/Mikey connection because together they are an unstoppable force of rage.

Generally speaking, I've always considered Leonardo/Donatello a force to be reckoned with.

A Leonardo/Raphael combination would be good in a short and intense battle, but if you wanted a juggernaut of destruction then I think Michelangelo/Raphael would be best. Raphael/Donatello...not so much.

That "A" Team concept is going by physical strength. Michelangelo is the agile and athletic more than the others so agile athleticism and brute strength with Mike and Raph's quick wit would make them an "A" team combo. This is the most underrated combo because of the lack of Leo's discipline and Don's strategic mind.Not to mention the screenname of mine give away a bit of bias. I always liked the Michelangelo/Raphael dynamic whether its '87 cartoon influenced for not. Leonardo/Donatello as a djuo seems natural like the Mike and Raph pairring. The disciplined and the intellectual.Their dynamic is being explored currently in IDW.

Leo and Donnie for sure. Brains, brawn, and leadership. Not saying Raph and Mikey are lesser Ninjas, but they all have their unique characteristics which is what makes them so awesome and memorable.
