Raphael

That's my boy...er...turtle!  Raphael is my all-time favorite.  A lot of TMNT fans really dislike Raphael, seeing him as a trouble-maker and thorn in the side of the family, but his position in the four is pivotal.  He is the muscle, the protector, and would sacrifice himself in an instant to keep his beloved brothers safe and whole.  Being the strongest of the four and being an in-fighter (up close and in-your-face), he is more at risk than the others of being physically harmed in battle.  It's his loyalty to family that is endearing and his complete fearlessness in battle that arrows into the heart of those fans who see him worthy and wonderful.

Good art of Raphael.
