Summary
Donatello, nicknamed "Donnie" is the brains of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He is in charge of the design and manufacture of all the tools and weapons in their arsenal. He fights with a bō, which converts to a naginata (in which a blade pops out of one end).
Donatello is voiced by Rob Paulsen, who used to be Raphael's voice actor in the 1987 animated series.

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Donatello is a scientific genius capable of engineering highly advanced machines. He is also an expert biologist, chemist, and geneticist, as he was able to create the first ever successful Retro-Mutagen. His intelligence is his greatest asset in battle due to his analytical prowess. He is capable of performing mathematical calculations mid-battle, such as to ricochet shuriken at nearby objects and/or surfaces, in order to make them bounce off objects again and again in the exact directions he calculated previously to tag even the most mobile targets. Donatello also possesses expertise in Bōjutsu due to years of training under Hamato Yoshi. In combat, he twirls, swings and stabs his bō in a manner similar to a spear. As Donatello's fighting style relies more on defense than offense, he specializes in his bō's versatile nature to block as well as counter attack.)
Weaknesses: Less experienced in combat than his brothers
