The Nightwatcher

Nightwatcher is a title used by two separate characters in the TMNT universe. The costume was passed from the first Nightwatcher to the second one following his death.

In Raphael's prequel comic, the Turtles are busy flushing some Triceratons from the sewers, when Raphael overhears an old man being mugged on the street above. Leonardo refuses to allow him to interfere, however, as he deems the Turtles' current mission more crucial. After the Triceratons are beaten, he goes to help the old man, but finds it too late; the man has been beaten up. He snaps at Raphael for being late to his rescue and storms off to his home. Some time later, Raphael witnesses a mugging-in-progress and beats up the would-be-thieves, giving the victim, a young woman, back her purse. The old man's home had been in earshot of the attack, and he approached Raphael, suggesting he follow him. The old man says his name is David Merryweather, and tells Raphael that back in his younger days, he was a crime fighter. Raphael is skeptical, but before he can find out more, Splinter calls him to see off Leonardo, who is venturing to South America. Raphael and David agree to pick up their conversation the following day.

On his way back, Raph gets a phone call from Leo, who berates him. As he is talking to his brother, he fails to catch that a group of street thugs have broken into David's building. He hears a gunshot, and races to find David lying on the floor, dying. David has Raphael promise to avenge his death, and to take his vigilante gear so that his family wouldn't find it. Raphael is instructed to find his costume, weapons, and motorcycle behind a bookcase. Raphael fulfills the dying old man's wishes.

Raphael cleans up the streets of criminals after donning the Nightwatcher uniform. Michelangelo looks up to the Nightwatcher, thinking him an outstanding hero, ironically not realizing that it is his own brother. Although Casey Jones easily can identify Raph underneath the suit, Leonardo isn't able to until the two of them clash, and Leo knocks off Raphael's helmet.
