{{DETAILED DESCRIPTION}}: Raphael's bandana resembles a do-rag, with a faded white Japanese kanji in top, and he has a scar across the right side of his upper lip. Raph wears many more bandages on his arms and legs than his brothers.

Additionally, he has a Japanese kanji branded on his right shoulder.

{{HISTORY}}: Like his brothers, Raphael started out as a small turtle hatchling being used for scientific research in the laboratory of Eric Sacks. He was regularly injected with mutagen that gave him increased strength and healing.

After April O'Neil freed the Turtles and Splinter, they began to rapidly grow in size and intelligence, both of which were comparable or greater than that of humans. For the next fifteen years Raphael spent most of his life in the sewers with his brothers and adoptive father, where he was taught the art of ninjutsu. His preferred weapon was a pair of sais, which he was proficient at using in any way he chose (he was able to carve a rough statue with them in a matter of seconds).

Fiercely independent and aggressive, he was the most eager to engage the Foot Clan against Splinter's orders, and was the first Turtle that April O'Neil sees after stopping the Foot Clan, although she did not get a good look at him and thought he was a man. When she tracked them down and took their picture, Raphael was highly threatening towards her, believing that she would share information about them for the sake of a story. He remained suspicious of her even after Splinter summoned her to their lair and revealed the part she had played in their lives, being the only brother who did not bow to her.

{{TRIVIA}}: Raph likes to chew on toothpicks.

Raph possesses knitting and woodcarving skills.

Splinter and the Turtles were laboratory experiments, much like in the IDW comics origin story.

After watching a Batman movie or series, Raph devised a "Batman voice".

Mikey considers him to be "The hype man", in their hip hop Christmas album.

He is the only turtle not to wear shoes.

His favorite type of soda is Strawberry Crush.

He has one tattoo on his right shoulder, as well as a Japanese character scarred on top of it.

In a 2019 interview with Collider, Ritchson cited his time shooting the duology the worst production experience of his entire career.

{{ABILITIES}}: Immense Strength: Enhanced by the mutagen and extremely tough body building regimen, Raphael has immense strength, superior to his brothers in terms of brute strength alone. He could hold his own against Shredder and could counter his armor's superhumanly enhanced physical attacks. He was also able to single handedly lift a shipping container with his bare hands, and then kick it with one foot at foot soldiers to knock them into the river. He was also able to bench press very heavy looking weights.

Immense Speed : Raphael has great agility, being fast enough to keep up with his brothers in quickly moving about in New York City. He has reflexes quick enough to defend Leonardo against Shredder's strikes.

Mutated Armor Shell : Raphael, like his brothers, had his hard shell mutated by the mutagen, resulting in great size and immense density. It functions as natural body armor, being capable of deflecting bullets easily.

Master Sai User: Raphael is a masterful ninja who is highly proficient in using his dual sais, which have silver steel blades with red handles.

Stealth: Thanks to his ninjutsu training, Raphael is able hide in the shadows and move through them without being seen or detected. He demonstrates the ability to do so both as an individual and with his brothers.

Folding Up In Shell: Like the rest of the turtles, he is able to fold up in his shell. Expert Marksman: Raph has been shown to be an expert marksman, as he was able to throw one of his sais into the pole of a stop sign next to Casey, with ease.

Indomitable Will: Like the rest of his brothers, Raph has an indomitable will, being able to withstand being in the Ha-shi for a whole eleven hours, during which he was standing on a wobbling tricycle, on one foot, while knitting.

Wood Crafting: Raph possess impressive wood crafting skills, being able to carve through an entire log of wood with his sais in a matter of seconds, and making it look like a sculpture of himself in a karate gi in crane fighting pose.
