He discovered them in the sewers, crawling in a glowing ooze. This ooze was a mutagen which cause the turtles and rat's mutation into a semi-human form. Splinter was the former pet of one of the finest ninjas in the world, and remembering what he saw his master practicing, he taught the four turtles to become ninjas. Splinter named the four turtles after artists from an old book on renaissance art he had found. Leonardo was named after artist Leonardo daVinci. Leonardo is the unofficial leader of the turtles. He is the most mature and the most enlightened of the four. His studies include Zen and other forms of mind-resolving techniques. Leo has the closest relationship with Splinter. He is just like the sensei was at his age. He is true to his studies and stays focused on the task at hand. Although Leonardo is very level-headed, being a teenager, he will sometimes say what he doesn't mean. It may appear to some that he and Raphael do not get along. On the contrary, the two are very close. The two disagree a lot, but still love each other very much. Being the oldest, Leonardo feels he has to keep the team in order when Splinter is not around. This causes tension between him and free-spirited Raphael. All in all, the turtles could not manage very well without Leonardo. He is what keeps the family ties tightly knotted. Powers: Leonardo is a turtle mutated into a semi-human form by a mutagen, and essentially is human in most respects, except for his green color, odd body shape and the presence of his shell, which covers his front and back, leaving only his head, arms and legs exposed. He is a highly trained hand to hand combatant, has many skills in Ninjitsu and almost always carries his Daisho swords. Character created by Mirage Comics. Champions rules conversion by Mathew R.
