Bio
In the 2003 TV show, Raphael's personality is more akin to his original movie incarnation - he is angrier and more sardonic, but not quite as violent as shown in the earlier Mirage comics, where he was portrayed as near-psychotic when angered in the earliest issues (although he is still very impulsive). One incident where he almost smashed Michelangelo's head in with a wrench is shown here, as it did in Raphael #1. He also talks with a similar Brooklyn accent used in the movies. He often argues with Leonardo and Michelangelo, although he is depicted as being very close with both at times. His angry personality may be just a cover up for his true feelings towards his brothers. His relationship with Donatello consists of poking fun at his intellectualism or annoyance at his long-winded explanations, more or less thinking of him as somewhat of a dork, yet still his brother. His best friend is generally regarded as Casey Jones. In all incarnations of the turtles, Raphael appears to live in the shadow of Leonardo and resents his brother's social position in the group. This was only confirmed in the new cartoon, and the reasons for so stated, where in his pre-teen years, he competed with Leonardo for leadership of the Turtles (because he was the second oldest) by virtue of the belief that the leader would also be the best and bravest fighter.
It has often been hinted that Raphael has entomophobia a fear of insects. He has shown on many occasions an unrivaled hatred of bugs, often, in fact, stating, "I hate bugs!!!" Mikey once joked that there was a bug crawling up Raphael's back, causing him to panic until he realized was tricked.
Raphael's relationship with Michelangelo is unique in this series. Michelangelo has a tendency to severely annoy his brother, from playing pranks, to taunting, gloating, and overall rubbing his accomplishments in Raphael's face (which leads him to knock Michelangelo down a peg). Though, it has been shown that he deeply cares for his brother. Raphael showed concern for him when he thought Michelangelo had been killed by a rampaging Leatherhead and was the first to try to come to his aid when he found out Michelangelo's Battle Nexus rematch was rigged. He also expressed his pain and fear of loosing his leader and brother when Leonardo was nearly killed by the Foot. Raphael will often put the security of his family and sometimes friends in danger as far as disobeying Splinter and Leonardo, but will react immediately if they are in danger. He has an extremely loyal side and is the first to react when another of his brothers are in trouble. This happens on numerous occasions, like when he stops a blow from hitting Donatello using his sais.
Raphael is voiced by Frank Frankson, who since the Season 3 episode Touch and Go, is credited as John Campbell. In Polish version, he is voiced by Dariusz Odija.
