Raphael [1] (also known as Raph) [2] is the most temperamental of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and is a born brawler.
History
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
For further information, see the Turtlepedia article for Raphael.
Donatello, April O'Neil, and Harold Lillja gathered everyone at Harold's Laboratory to test their Interspatial Teleportation Unit. Raphael was skeptical the "bugs" were worked out and was apprehensive about using it.
Ghostbusters
Stuck in another dimension, Raphael wasn't one for talking and decided to attack Chi-You head on. He leaped towards Chi-You and went right through him. Taking a sarcastic tone with his brothers, Raphael watched in horror as his friend Casey Jones became possessed. Raphael was focused on chasing after Casey but the others wanted to accept help from the Ghostbusters first. He was not pleased and pointed out the fact they were just shooting at them. Raphael's displeasure continued when Donatello's skepticism of the supernatural resurfaced.
Raphael was irate when Chi-You got away again and was eager to get going with the modified Arm Mounted Proton Packs. Hours later, the Ghostbusters and Turtles battled Chi-You in Chinatown. Raphael deviated from Egon Spengler's instructions and tried to shock Chi-You instead. After getting nailed, Raphael recovered and tried to reason with Casey. However, once Raphael took an elbow, he went on the offensive and fought Casey. Peter Venkman vaporized Chi-You with the Proton Bazooka, distracting Casey. Raphael pounced on the opening and shocked Casey on the chest. After being examined and cleared by Egon, Casey tried to clear the air with Raphael. Raphael countered he didn't get his butt kicked and stated things were cool between them.
Raphael waited things out with Leonardo, Michelangelo, Winston, and Peter on the second floor. Once the Thralls broke into the Firehouse, Raphael slid down a pole and armed himself with one of the modified Arm Mounted Proton Packs. Impressed by Janine Melnitz' prowess with the Compact Pack, he noted she was "hardcore." He later joined Leonardo against Chi-You, who possessed Winston, and was no match. Michelangelo evened the playing field with a shot from a Slime Blower. While Raphael distracted Chi-You, Leonardo shocked Winston and separated the two. Peter trapped Chi-You while Raphael and Leonardo helped Winston up. Raphael turned down Peter's merchandising idea and admitted this dimension was too weird for him.
