History[]
Leonardo started his life as a regular turtle who, along with three other turtles, was bought by a young boy. The boy accidentally dropped the four into the sewers when saving a blind man from a passing truck, causing the turtles - and a passing rat - to be covered in green ooze dropped from the truck, mutating them into anthropomorphic animals. The rat, calling himself Master Splinter, was actually the pet of the deceased ninja master Hamato Yoshi, and decided to adopt the four as his own sons, training them in the arts of ninjutsu. He decided to name the four after renaissance artists - Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and the team's leader - Leonardo.
