Michelangelo (1987)

Powers & Abilities

• Enhanced Strength: Michelangelo possesses significant physical strength, and is capable of overpowering a majority of his foes in combat. He can push and lift things several times bigger and heavier than himself, and run at high speeds while weighted down by objects larger than him. With a single kick, he was capable of sending a foot-bot flying, stagger the extremely powerful Slash, and tear robots apart with only his hands.
• Enhanced Speed: Michelangelo is able to move at great speed, able to free run on rooftops without losing momentum. His reaction speed is faster than the average person, allowing him to dodge projectiles, such as lasers from Kraang's blasters, Kraang Subprime's razor, and attacks from several opponents. He can also spin his nunchaku at incredible speed to add momentum to his strikes, as well as deflecting projectiles with them, even gunfire. He can run faster than even the Olympic-level athletes.
• Enhanced Agility: Michelangelo is the most agile and acrobatic of all his brothers. His bones, muscles, and joints have more elastic strength and endurance, allowing him to perform gymnastic and contortionist maneuvers without damaging his bone structure. He used his agility to outmaneuver and beat multiple Foot soldiers at once, dodge the lasers from the Kraang's blasters, and he seemingly a master at all parkour techniques, and he can easily perform graceful acrobatic maneuvers with ease.
• Enhanced Endurance: Michelangelo's muscles and bones are much harder/denser than normal humans. Michelangelo can survive getting caught in the crossfire from all angles from Bebop and Rocksteady's blasts, as well as enduring a collision when Rocksteady charged at him at full speed, and take a beating from Bebop (which only knocked him out cold briefly). Mickey can also withstand multiple hits from foot-bots, Shredder, and Krang.
• Enhanced Stamina: Michelangelo's body creates far fewer fatigue producing chemical toxins in his muscles than ordinary beings. He can exert himself at his peak performance for an hour without stopping or slowing down. And as a turtle, Michelangelo has exceptional lung capacity, which lets him hold his breath underwater for long periods of time.
• Balance: Mikey's skills as a skateboarder and a ninja give him a great ability with balance.
• Okinawan Kobudō (Nunchaku): Michelangelo was trained by Splinter in the art of the nunchaku. Aside from using them to wrap around an opponent's joints and weapons to disarm, Mikey swings and strikes with them in the manner akin to flails. Given Mikey's unpredictable nature, his able to make extensive use of his nunchucks in rather uncommon but effective ways in a fight as well as mix his attacks with the capoeira fighting style. However, it is highly noticeable that as great as Michelangelo's skills may be, it is nowhere near to the superior level of combat skills his 2012 counterpart has demonstrated. For example, in Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady, Michelangelo has been trained by his 2012 counterpart in both armed and unarmed combat during his basic training.
• Ninjutsu/Fighting Skills: As he was trained his whole life in the art of Ninjutsu, Mikey is able to wield various weapons of different makeup and style, an expert at stealth and infiltration, skilled in direct hand-to-hand combat. and is able to fight on par with other skilled fighters. He and his brothers even reseved training from the 2012 incarnations of the Ninja Turtles to help them fight better.
• Turtle Anatomy: As a turtle, Mikey can pull his arms and legs into his shell for protection, and is a strong swimmer, he can swim as fast as mer-people/fish people, and can even fight and use his weapons water as well as he does on land. And since he´s a reptile, heat seeking weapons have trouble homing in on him due to his cold blood.
• Intelligence: Despite his outward appearance, Mikey has had the occasional moments of intelligence. Like the time he took control of Krang's body with his game console, tricking bull-headed opponents into charging mindlessly into traps, using disguises, or like his oldest brother Leonardo, use the enviroment he's in to his advantage. He even knows how to pilot different kinds of vehicles, I don't know where that was covered in Splinter's training regimen, but sign me up.
• Toon Force: Mikey has shown some instances of using Toon Force, he can sometime only fall after he realized nothing is holding him up, he can sometimes pull out items/objects from seemingly nowhere, he can pull out his weapons even if they´re lost or destroyed in a previous scene. And he can somehow talk underwater, and be cartoonishly flattened ad return to normal.
• 4th Wall Awareness: Mikey even has fourth wall awareness, he´s aware that he´s in a cartoon show and sometimes make remarks to the audience, and can hold up an ¨Iris Out¨ with his hands to keep it from closing.

Equipment

• Nunchaku/Nunchucks: His primary weapon, despite the nunchucks being the most hardest weapons to ever be wielded, Mikey somehow learned how to master it. No idea why Splinter gave the toughest ninja weapon to master to the youngest of the turtles... but anyway. Mikey can spin his nunchucks to strike with enough force to destroy robots, disarm opponents, or even let him float like a helicopter.
• Manriki-Gusari: In A Thing About Rats, Michelangelo proclaims himself "master of the manriki-gusari" before flinging the chained weapon at a pair of Foot Soldiers and wrapping them up with it.
• Turtle Line: The Turtle line is the turtles' grappling hook, with the hook and rope portions receding into a small shell-like design before use. Although all of the turtles used these from time to time, Michelangelo's inability to use the nunchaku due to United Kingdom broadcasting standards had him relying on the Turtle Line much more than the others.
• Belt: Mikey's belt carries his nunchaku and/or Turtle Line, as well as other minor equipment. It also has an "M" buckle.
• Shurikens: Sharp projectile weapons which can penetrate metal, and while Mikey RARELY uses them, he might have a few on hand.
• Suction-Cup Pads: Used to climb up walls, usually buildings, there often used for sneaking or making escapes.
• Cheap Skate: This rocket-powered skateboard allows Mikey to travel long distances faster, be used like a skateboard, and even comes with a flashlight to navigate dark tunnels.
• Pizza: Being who he is, he is never short on Pizza. It can be thrown into the enemy´s face like a pie for slapstick humor, and the Pizza toppings on it tend to be very gross, and it makes for a good distraction so he can escape or disarm the enemy.

Alternate Forms

Unstable Mutation

This was so secret, not even Donnie, the most intelligent of the turtles knew about it until much later, Mikey and his brothers... we're still mutating. Not like he was getting bigger or something, it's more like the mutagen ooze that turned them into the ninja turtles they are today was taking it's next step in evolving them. Turning Mikey and his brothers into hideous brutes of near unrivaled powered, in this... double mutated form, he is fireproof, laserproof, able to lift and throw cars, and snap steal supports like nothing, this form even comes pre-equipted with claws to tear and slash into enemies. Though it does have a few draw backs, if he... Hell, if he or ANY of his brothers turn into this form, the transformation can make them became very agressive, to the point where there even willing to attack there own friends, family, and allies, and the transformation does have a history of being temporary, and wearing off at the worst possible times, plus, this next step in there mutation has gotten so out of hand in only a few episodes, they had to cure themselves of these mutations just to prevent such an outcome.
