Leonardo is the Ninja Turtles' leader and chief strategist. Edit
Origin
Like his brothers, Leonardo was a simple pet shop turtle until exposure to toxic “ooze” mutated him. He was raised by Splinter and trained in ninjitsu along with his brothers, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael.Biography
In the Mirage comics Leonardo is shown to be the eldest and most disciplined and skilled of his brothers an unofficial leader of the group, though he does cede authority to others particularly Donatello in situations were his brothers expertise are more suited.Early life
In the first battle with the Shredder it is Leonardo who managed to best him by plunging his katana through the Shredder's torso. He offers his beaten foe his katana and says that the Shredder can regain his honor if he takes his own life.Almost a year, on Christmas eve a training run he is attacked by an army of Foot Ninja. A fierce battle ensues on the rooftops of Manhattan with Leonardo has the upper hand thoughout the battle until he is shocked to see a familiar robed opponent. Surrounded by ninja he is severely beaten and dropped through April O'Neil's apartment window.
During his family's exile in Northampton Leonardo's defeat weighs heavily on him and becomes consumed with self doubt. He would continualy go out into the woods to hunt but come back empty handed. One day when returning from hunting he sees that April falling through ice on the lake, he quickly uses his sword and cloak to make a lifeline for himself and pulls his her out. The end of the story strongly suggests that Leonardo is himself once again.
A year on in the story "Return to New York" a conflict erupts between himself and Raphael when his brother demands they return to New York to confront the Foot with Raphael calling him a coward. The fight becomes physical with Leonardo plunging his wooden practice sword into his brothers chest. Eventualy Raphael gains the upper hand and throws Leonardo through the wall of the barn before storming off alone.
Eventualy returning to the city with Michelangelo and Donatello he follows Raphael's plan to use the Triceraton Zog to invade the Foot head quarters. The plan goes well with the turtles and Zog besting an army of Foot but when faced with the monstrously deformed Shredder Elite Raphael decides to ignore Leonardo's order to stay together and goes off to confront the Shredder alone. Leonardo follows and resues his brother from being killed after he is ganged up on by Shredder's Elite Guard. After accosting his brother Raphael says he'll go help their brothers and allows Leonardo to go after the Shredder.
Confronting the Shredder, he asks his enemy how he could still be alive, the Shredder tells him how the Foot used worms to bring him back to life. The two of the fight, with the fierce battle spilling out onto the roof. As the building begins to crumble both lunge at each other with Leonardo decapitating Shredder in mid as the building explodes. After the battle Leonardo carries the corpse of their enemy back to the sewer lair. Later the turtles cremate the body to both honor their foe and make sure he could never return.
City at War
During the storyline "City at War" the turtles once again return to the city to investigate a rise in a violent attacks on the city involving ninjas. Making a new lair in a hollowed out water tower the purpose was to once again confront the Foot but when looking over crime scenes Leonardo begins to suspect there's more going on than they realise.After they notice the Foot battling a huge robots on the streets in broad daylight the turtles intervene. Leonardo notices that the robots also belong to the Foot and the ninjas are actualy fighting each other. The fight soon escalates as Foot from roof tops start firing guns and rocket launchers at each other and police helecopters. Shocked at the level of violence in which many innocent bystanders are killed he orders his brothers to retreat.
After the battle in the streets Leonardo starts to wonder how they could possibly combat the Foot during their conflict and even questions the validity of their war against the Foot Clan stating that it's time for them grow up. When the turtles point out that the war is for Splinter and for honor Leonardo laments that he can no longer live his life for his Master and that he's beginning to think that there's no place for honor in the world. A brief encounter with one of the Shredder Elite the ninja states that it's their duty to kill Leonardo as revenge for slaying their master.
Weeks later their new lair is discovered by a faction of the Foot led by a female ninja, the Foot use tazers on Leonardo to capture him, when the Foot become too overwhelming the rest of the turtles grudgingly retreat leaving their brother behind. When Leonardo wakes the female ninja introduces herself as Karai, the leader of the Foot in Japan who has come to restore order to the New York Foot in the wake of the civil war. Believing that the Shredder Elite are the main obstacles in attaining this goal she makes the turtles an offer, if they help her kill the Elite she'll declare a truce between the Foot and the turtles.
Leonardo becomes the main advocate for accepting Karai's offer believing they cuold finaly live their own lives without the threat of the Foot Clan constantly hanging over them. Accepting the offer Karai lures the Shredder Elite to the ruins of the Second Time Round Shop were the battle is fought. Leonardo killed the last Elite by snapping his neck. In the end Leonardo assures Karai that she owes them nothing but her word, when she tells them that they have a new beginning and to use it well Leonardo responds "we will, Karai...we will".
