He kept his addiction for video games and it even increased and he became even more obsessed with them, which proved to be a hazard during Graduation Day: Class of 2105 which almost got him to not graduate as he missed a month's worth of training just for playing video games. Overall, Michelangelo continued being the obnoxiously annoying little brother. Michelangelo first chose a giant power armor suit, which kept Mikey happy for five seconds before he found out that it was too cumbersome for him to operate so he returned to his (though upgraded) nunchaku standards. When the Turtles and Master Splinter reached the future, they were provided with tech-upgraded weapons, courtesy of O' Neil Tech (which Cody owns). Mikey continued his videogaming in the future, completely awestruck by the new video games, especially since most of the games were virtual reality pieces. In this series, Michelangelo, along with his brothers, traveled into the year 2105 and met the great-grandson of April and Casey, Cody Jones. While there, they helped Master Splinter and the Ancient One win a fight against a demon and that was when they gained their ninja masks (" Fathers & Sons"). When Mikey was a kid, he and his brothers went with Master Splinter to Japan to bury Master Yoshi's ashes next to his beloved. It should be noted that although Michelangelo tends to goof off, his spiritual avatar is that of a dragon along with his brothers as seen in the episode " New World Order, Part 2." It was seen that he was advanced when it came to the stealth training with Hisomi. Michelangelo became one of the Ninja Tribunal's Acolytes along with his brothers. This profile statement has since been repeated in the profile of Michelangelo in the lead-up to the debut of the Fast Forward season, which began airing on July 29, 2006. In early profiles of the 2003 animated series, Michelangelo is regarded as being the most athletic of the four, although unfocused on training mentally (though those are admittedly old profiles and may have been early plans for the character, he has certainly proven he is an effective fighter when need be). While this proves he is actually more intelligent than he lets on, it is implied that he has very little interest in seriously focusing his intellectual development. In some episodes - particularly Return of the Justice Force, Touch and Go, Reality Check, Membership Drive and The Unconvincing Turtle Titan -, Mikey even demonstrates quick wits and intelligence, aiding his allies and brothers with decisive ideas. Although his victory was due in part to some very lucky breaks, Michelangelo later won a rematch against the last finalist and earned a medal of honor for his behavior during the battle. In the Season 2 finale "The Big Brawl," he became the Battle Nexus Champion, the best fighter in the multiverse. As Turtle Titan, Michelangelo uses grappling hooks as both a weapon and a mode of transportation, and a small shield used for protection and as a throwing weapon.Īlthough not shown as particularly focused on ninjutsu, preferring to spend his time reading comics or watching movies, Michelangelo is quite an effective fighter.

In some episodes, Michelangelo takes on the role of a costumed super hero called "Turtle Titan." While having no superpowers and gadgets, he proves himself quite effective in his own right and even befriends other superheroes, such as the Silver Sentry and the Justice Force. He has shown empathy for others, as proved in particular by his adoption of Klunk, a stray kitten and his friendship with Leatherhead. Michelangelo is the youngest brother and little is expected of him, although he has proved to have exceptional speed and agility. He also seems to be very close to Donatello. Raphael and Michelangelo mostly have a love-hate relationship in which Michelangelo frequently antagonizes Raphael, but Raphael shows that he cares about him whenever he's in danger. Other characters such as Master Splinter and the Ancient One have picked up on this habit, but usually, use it only whenever he disobeys. In fact, a running gag is that whenever Michelangelo says or does something excessively outrageous, usually involving a catch-phrase from the 1987 show, one of his brothers (usually Raphael) will slap him on the head.

Michelangelo is slightly more immature than in the 1987 series and likes to tease and annoy his older brothers, especially Raphael, to whom Michelangelo is the foil.
