In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Panini), Donatello is a mutant turtle, and one of the four ninja sons adopted and trained by Hamato Yoshi (a.k.a. Splinter), along with his brothers Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael.
This version of Donatello is branched off from his previous version in the 2012 TV series. His history before the events of the Panini comics is the same as that of his animated version.
History[]
Takeout[]
In the debut comic Takeout, Donatello along with his brothers are racing to get home with a stack of pizza in boxes. Don estimates cool down in an estimated nine minutes and urges everyone to move faster. Of course, mishaps occur along the way, delaying their return to the lair, and eventually all of the pizza is destroyed. At home, they bemoan their misfortune and then are given sage advice by Splinter - a delivery menu for Mancini's.
Chasing Shadows[]
While scanning for energy spikes needed to run Kraang tech, Donatello believes he's found a Kraang hideout. This is exciting news for April O'Neil, as finding these hideouts might lead to finding her father. At the first warehouse they encounter Kraang, but not Kirby O'Neil. Michelangelo finds a piece of paper which Leo recognizes as a clue. The clue takes the Turtles and April to a TCRI facility. There are numerous large containers stored at the facility, some of them with a prison-like appearance. They open the first such container, but rather than Mr. O'Neil, they encounter Spider Bytez. He chases Don and Mikey, threatening to give them an acid bath. The Turtles manage to escape the container and slam the door shut before he can reach them.
