ahem

i know these answers based on the tmnt rpg by palladium, but this only applies to the mirage and mirage-derived (such as the first movie and new animated series) universes.

1) Strength: if you mean conventional muscular strength (as in the ability to carry and life heavy objects) then the answer is Raphael, but if you mean the ability to generate power behind your movements then the answer is probably Michelangelo.

2) Athleticism: as in overall physical prowess and skill with the body, it is Michelangelo.

3) Intelligence: as in conventional I.Q., the answer is obviously Donatello, however as in intuitive insight and awareness, it would be Michelangelo. If you mean overall 'street smarts' and experiential wisdom, I would say Leonardo most likely.

4) Level-headed: Donatello, on the whole.

5) Fighting Skill: Michelangelo, in addition to his physical prowess this would also take into account his internal attributes that give him a combat advantage.

6) Best Overall Fighter: This is the same as the above rank. There is no need to post it twice.

7) Best Overall Turtle: I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. My favorite is Michelango, but i don't think there is a 'best'. That's like saying one person is somehow 'better' than another....

other attributes

These are other attributes that also apply to the mirage-based tmnt:

8 ) Speed: as in conventional running speed it is Raphael; but as in overall quickness, reflexes, and responsiveness with the body it is Michelangelo.

9) Physical Endurance and Stamina: Raphael.

10) Mental and Emotional Endurance: Leonardo, although sometimes this isnt necessarily always a good thing.

11) Mental Affinity: as in personal charm, charisma and personality it is Michelangelo (thats what the mirager rpg sez).

12) Physical Beauty: Michelangelo (i swear im not making this one up, its in the palladium book!!)

I'll post some others if they come to mind.....

best in...?

Well, in context of the movie and cartoon, I'll use both


1) Strength: I'll be a biased fan and say Raphael, he had some temper issues, but he seemed to have some good power in his muscles.

2) Athleticism: Mike seems to be the best candidate for this, always sewer surfing or skate boarding.

3) Intelligence: Donatello most definitely, the brains of the four. Leonardo
also comes off as very bright but he leaves the thinking to Donny. I think Raphael is quite intelligent too, but he chooses to be sarcastic rather than logical.

4) Level Headed: Leonardo most of the time...Splinter's ninja teachings seem to have taken heart best in him when it comes to concentrating.

5) Fighting skill: All four Turtles have almost equal amounts of skill per in my opinion.


6) Best overall fighter: Raphael

7) Best overall turtle: Raphael

hmmm

I don't know as much about the cartoon or movie as some people..... but in the movie when they are all sparring if you look at it closely its pretty obvious Mike is beating the others. In the archie, Mike handed Leo his ass in a sparring session. In the cartoon, Mike beat Raph and Don on several occassions (can't recall him sparring with Leo).

Hmmm.... see a pattern??

somehow i always got though that raphael was overall the greatest all around fighter of the group b/c that was the image the movie projected, and i haven't read the old comics but for the new toon in the character profile i think it said raphael was the best fighter. while second came to mikey w/ his athleticism and all, then leo and least don.

Well, The difrences are not really noticable in Mirage comics, But of course Everyone can form their own opinnion. Everyone has Their strong and weak points, but as a team they are whole.

I agree with Karpo, they really are only good if they are all together as a whole, you can't leave anyone out...

Also, Their really isn't a best of anything, I think most of us based this on their attitudes and stuff...They are brothers(er, that's what I think at least) and they like fighting and living WITH EACH OTHER, they do pick on each other sometimes, but they will always be best of friends and won't determine who is best of anything....My other post was purely biased towards Mike...I just like him best and the other 3 tied for 2nd best... But they all need to be together or else none is good...

Kind of but not really...

What is intelligence without anyone to use it?

What is strength without someone to help out?

What is keeping your cool when nothing prevents you from that?

What is ninja skills without teamwork?

When They first encountered Shredder, it took the whole team beofre they could beat him, but When He came back, Leonardo beat him in a Duel. Three Years had passed of course, and The TMNT were much more experienced.
