Donatello

Donatello is the tech-savvy, bo staff-wielding member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a team of four mutant turtle brothers trained in ninjutsu by their rat sensei Splinter. This Mirage incarnation appeared in a crossover with Superman, sharing adventures alongside Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and facing the villainous Shredder.

A crossover curiosity with genuine charm, this Donatello made his catalog debut in Superman #42 in 1990, brought to life by the legendary Jerry Ordway during the height of the Copper Age. Appearing across titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Superman, and Adventures of Superman over nearly two decades, he shares the page with heavy hitters like Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and the fearsome Shredder. With only 9 catalog appearances under his belt, this Mirage-published incarnation is a collector's niche gem — the kind of character whose rarity makes tracking him down all the more rewarding.
