Leonardo 1
Leonardo - Like the intro states he is the leader. His orders are usually followed. He is the wisest, most experienced and balanced of the team. Leo often portrayed as the most serious and disciplined out of all the turtles. When the cartoon series starts out, he is shown with having a very level head, likewise to his leadership qualities in the comics.
He has a lot of responsibility on his hands, which can sometimes overwhelm him. He is very protective of his siblings and is willing to do anything for them. Leo acts as a big brother or a parental figure to his brothers and as a teacher's pet to Master Splinter. He was chosen to be the leader because of his willingness not by his skill.
Leonardo demonstrates many important qualities needed in a leader. Like his brothers, he is stealthy, can hide in the shadows, sneak around without being detected and uses hand to hand combat like ninjas do. Leo does his best to lead the team, but he sometimes second-guesses himself and his constant sibling rivalry with Raphael can cause problems for the team and puts a strain on his relationship with Raph.
Leonardo always takes Splinter's advice seriously, even though at times, his stubbornness starts to annoy his sensei. Leo gets confused whenever Splinter uses difficult phrases and quotes while giving away his wisdom, but he always takes it under consideration.
In the Leonardo One Shot 1986, Leonardo goes out for a run on the rooftops of New York City and is ambushed by the Foot Clan. He puts up an admirable fight against an army of Foot Ninja, but is eventually overwhelmed by them. Beaten to near unconsciousness, he is thrown through April O'Neil's apartment window. The remaining Turtles and Splinter are forced to continue the fight, but even with the aid of Casey Jones, the odds are against them. In the end, the building catches fire and the police arrive, but they secretly escape to Northampton. During this time, Leonardo recovers from his physical wounds. However, he has lost a great deal of confidence. While out hunting, he sees April fall through ice into a lake, and he rescues her. Leonardo has regains most of his confidence at this point.
In the Return to New York storyline (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (vol. 1) #19-21), Raphael demands that the Turtles return to New York to confront the Foot Clan and the Shredder. He accuses Leonardo of cowardice, and the arguing brothers soon come to a serious scrap. Leonardo is beaten by Raphael, who throws him through the wall of the barn and leaves the farm
alone.
The Turtles return to New York and reunite with their wayward brother in the old sewer lair. The three go along with Raphael's plan to storm the Foot Head Quarters, where once again Raphael goes off on his own to fight the Shredder. However, he is ambushed and beaten by the Shredder's Elite guard, but is rescued by Leonardo. This prompts Raphael to finally cede to Leonardo's leadership, leaving him to fight the Shredder. Leonardo engages in a bloody battle with Shredder that spills out onto the rooftop of the building. Leonardo ends the battle by decapitating the Shredder just as the building implodes. The Turtles later burn the Shredder's corpse in a funeral pyre in a nearby Manhattan harbor.
Leo is an extremely skilled martial artist and swordsman. His weapons of choice are a pair of katana blades which he uses in a traditional niten-ryu style. He has a good line of defense, and is the best at planning strategies. He is pretty strong when it comes to defense and counter attacks and he is mainly a well balanced ninja in terms of strength, speed, agility, and is intelligent.
He is named after Leonardo da Vinci and wears a blue bandana.
In the video games, Leonardo is the first turtle of choice. He is popular especially for beginner players of the TMNT games. Leonardo is portrayed as well-balanced, having, in all areas, strong but not extreme abilities and no glaring weaknesses ; however, Leonardo can usually inflict more damage.
In the New 2012 TMNT TV series, Leo loves a particular TV show called "Space Heroes" and tends to try to be like the hero on there, much to the annoyance of his brothers.
Leonardo's voice actor was Cam Clarke in the original 1987 cartoon. In the crossover movie Turtles Forever, this version of Leonardo is voiced by Dan Green and in the new 2012 series, Leo is voiced by Jason Biggs.
