- —Donatello
Donatello is one of the main protagonists of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. He appeared in the sixth episode of Death Battle, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Royale, where he fought against his brothers Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
History
Donatello was a pet turtle along with three others bought by a boy, but were accidentally dropped into a sewer drain. At the time, a man named Hamato Yoshi had been hiding in the sewer, and upon finding the turtles, he welcomed them with open arms. At some point after, the Turtles and Hamato were exposed to a mysterious glowing substance, causing the turtles to mutate into humanoid forms, and Hamato to mutate into an anthropomorphic rat. Seeing potential, Hamato trained his new sons in the art of ninjutsu, and naming them after some of his favorite Renaissance artists – Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello. Donatello was given a purple mask and wields a bo staff. He is well trained and a competent fighter, but Donnie's greatest strength is his inventive mind and genius-level intellect, boasting an IQ of 600 and a natural born gift with machinery. He has gotten his brothers out of tough situations thanks to his level head, technological know-how, and his ever-increasing arsenal of gadgets.
