Biography

In the original Mirage comics Michelangelo was described as a hot head almost as bad like his best friend Raphael. It was his one shot comic that presented him with many of the characteristics that the the character is known for including his sense of fun and care free attitude.

Set at Christmas the comic has Michelangelo heavily disguised walking though central park and sledding with some children. He comes across a stray cat which he adopts and calls Klunk. Checking out a toy store and playing with the latest toys he follows Klunk to the back of the store to find a group of robbers stealing toys meant for an orphanage. After stopping the robbers, he along with his brothers, Klunk and April deliver the toys to the orphanage themselves.

During the turtles exile in Northamptin Michelangelo's behavior worried April. Were once he was the one that always be counted on to find a fun in anything he would hardly joke anymore bar some light hearted jibes with Raphael and Casey Jones. He would spend most of his day in the barn constrantly training and taking his aggression out on a punching bag. One day he loses control and lashes out at his surroundings continualy punching the wall until he bursts through it eventualy giving up and leaning on the wall despondently. After Splinter puts him and his brothers through intense training the end of the story strongly suggests that he has returned to usual self.

Michelangelo also developed a strong bond with Donatello, the two of them often paired together with shared interests and occasionaly the two of them caught in the middle and acting as peace makers between Leonardo and Raphael. When Casey Jones introduced the turtles to his baby daughter Shadow the two of them had an instant bond with him teaching her to play video games and her nicknaming him "Rooish". When the turtles decided to get their own places Michelangelo chose to stay in April's apartment so he could be close to Shadow.

One day Splinter told his son of a premomition he'd had, claiming to be worried that Michelangelo was the only one of his brothers not to follow the path of the warrior and that he must leave his pureness behind. When Klunk was hit by a car due to Michelangelo's negligence he took his pet to a witch doctor who said that an equal life to be sacrificed to save Klunk. Michelangelo found a mangey alleycat who no one cared for but in the end could not use it as a sacrifce and allowed Klunk to die. Returning to Splinter Michelangelo admitted that his sensei was, right that he didn't follow the path of the warrior and as a result someone he cared about died. Splinter corrects his son saying "I am not perfect, my son. Perhaps you, who walks two paths, has something to teach me"
