DEBUT | 1990 |
Raphael is the hothead of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as seen in the 1990 Creature Shop film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. Named after Renaissance painter Raphael Sanzio, he often clashes with his brothers, particularly Leonardo over his leadership skills, and as such acts impulsively, which at one point accidentally leads the Foot Clan directly to their lair.
