In the ComicsIn the original comics Raphael was shown to be the most aggressive, violent, and competitive of the turtles. It is Raphael who is sent to issue a challenge to Shredder by Splinter. and as he infiltrates Oruku Saki's security business, he kills several thugs. It is clear that he does not like people, going as far as to kill more Foot Soldiers in the battle against Shredder than any other turtle. The turtles return to their sewer home after Shredder is killed by a thermite grenade. When the turtles rescue April O'Neil, who is an assistant to Mouser developer Baxter Stockman, it is Raphael who knocks the gloating madman out. After Stockman has the Mousers destroy his building, the turtles return home to find destroyed Mousers and Splinter missing, April invites them back to her house, where the turtles befriend her. Violent and battling Michaelangelo, Raphael nearly kills him and runs away, where he meets the vigilante Casey Jones . The two fight but eventually team up to fight some other thugs. Raphael starts trying to control his anger, but remains the hot headed member of the team. While battling Foot Soldiers, the brothers notice a building that says T.C.R.I., the company that developed the mutagen that changed their lives and that of Splinter. When the brothers infiltrate the building, they find Splinter alive and well, but in a fight against alien Utroms, Michelangelo is tossed into a control panel and the turtles are beamed to another galaxy. There, they encounter the Fugatoid and Triceratons, and Raphael and his brothers defeat several of the aliens when they are beamed back to Earth. Splinter and the Utroms tell their story as a S.W.A.T. team attacks the building because of the two teleportation signatures. Staying with April and a family again, the turtles are transported back to the 1400s, where they encounter the aardvark warrior Cerebus, and helping him, they are reuturned to their proper time. During Christmas, Leonardo is out alone and gets attacked and beaten to death by many Foot Soldiers, who throw him through a window in April's apartment. After a vicious battle that destroys her home and a revelation that Shredder is still alive, Casey appears and takes the "family" to his grandmother's house for months of recuperation. Image ComicsIn the Image series that treated the first two volumes of the Mirage Comics as canonical, Raphael was blasted in the face and disfigured. After that, he wore one of Casey Jones' hockey masks for much of the time, and eventually just an eye patch. Later, Raphael wore Shredder's armor in an attempt to psychologically dominate a number of the New York Mob, with whom the Foot Clan was engaged in a losing gang war. He had accidentally stumbled into a battle between Foot members and these gun-toting Mobsters and was chased right into Shredder's old forge, where he crafted his armor and weapons by hand in Ninja tradition. He donned a slightly variant version of the armor (which had far more blades on the arms than just the two held on the hand by a type of brass knuckle band seen in other versions of the Shredder), and pretended to be the Shredder to get the advantage on his pursuers. He succeeded in defeating them and was then accepted into, and given control of, the New York faction of the Foot Clan for a brief time. The current series produced by Mirage Comics, Volume 4, does not treat the Image series as canon. |
