What are the mystic powers of each TMNT 2012 member? Like, what are the capabilities of each one?
So I based their powers loosely on their given elements in the “Vision Quest” (s3 ep8). So that’s 火(Fire) 森(Forest) 風(Wind) and 山(Mountain). Though Mikey’s was changed to lightning (電) as a reference to “When Worlds Collide” (s5 ep5-6) when he accidentally got lightning powers. As for their capabilities:
Raph: he’s able to create fire with his hands, feet and breath. His mystic sais that he got from Draxum work by enhancing his power and help him control the power into something manageable. He’s immune to the heat of his own flames, though he can burn others, so he has to be careful. It essentially has the same rules and functions as Fire Bending in AtLA.
Mikey: His power is very similar to the lightning power he got in “When Worlds Collide.” His body generates an electrical field that he can discharge at anytime as lightning strikes. His mystic nunchucks work the same as Raph’s sais, they enhance and control his power so it’s easier to control. In addition to being able to zap things, he can also speed up his movements into a blur.
Leo: He can create air currents and to a certain degree rain as well. His power allows him to be light on his feet which helps him reduce the pressure on his poor knees, and grants him greater agility by being able to jumping higher, farther and faster; and run faster. He can put more force behind his strikes and can completely eliminate all sounds. His swords aren’t mystic, they’re just the normal twin katanas he used to beat the Shredder, but the blades give him a point of focus for his power.
Donnie: His power gives him the ability to manipulate stone and metal. His power works by forming a physical connection between his body and the surface he wants to control, this is like a touch with his hands, feet or Bo staff. Once he’s touching the material, he’s able to shape it to his will, whether that be splitting open a concrete wall or holding up rubble. His Bo isn’t mystic, same as Leo’s katanas, but similarly he can use it as a point of focus to direct his energy. It works almost identical to Earth Bending in AtLA cause I’m really original :]
Awesome question! I think I dropped some of the concept art for these awhile back(I put the links bellow). Thank you! ^v^
