TURTLE POWER!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out of nowhere in the late '80s to become one of the hottest franchises in recent memory. You'd think that the hype would die down after awhile, but the series is still chugging along to this day; the fourth TV show in the franchise is set to end this year, with a fifth currently in preproduction at Nickelodeon.
Anyone who has been a kid since the '80s knows the story: Four baby turtles and their guardian (sometimes a human, sometimes a rat depending on the show) are covered in a mysterious ooze that transforms them into human-sized mutants. Trained in the art of Ninjitsu by their Master Splinter for years, the four heroes set out onto the streets of New York City to fight crime and bring down the evil Shredder. Along the way they encounter new allies, alien enemies, and (of course) develop a near-addiction level taste for pizza.
One of the most enduring elements of the series is that each of the four Turtles has their own distinct personality that kids and adults alike can relate to. Leonardo is the straight-arrow leader, Donatello is the science nerd, Raphael is the misguided hot-head, and Michelangelo is the party-loving goofball. Which member of the TMNT do you think best represents yourself? Take this quiz and find out Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Are You?
What's Your Favorite Pizza Topping?
Let's get down to business here- The Turtles love pizza.

Whether it be homemade, artisan, or some fast-food joint like Pizza Hut, your taste in pizza pies is integral!
Which Character is Your Favorite Ally of the Turtles?
There is no "I" in team. Though the Turtles are masters of Ninjitsu, they wouldn't make it very far without a little help from their friends. The TMNT cartoons have always given the brothers a huge number of allies ranging from hockey-mask wearing vigilantes to giant mutant frogs to superhero manta rays (we're serious). They may have been created mainly to sell toys, but dang it, they're so awesome!

Which Movie Genre Do You Prefer?
Someone's choice in movie genre can actually say a lot about themselves.
