The Sewers of New York City are the location where the Turtles' lair is normally located. They live there due to their master, Splinter, who either lived there before their mutation or retreated into the sewers following the transformation of both himself and the Turtles.

Splinter Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

As any fan of the characters will know, they became mutants after a truck carrying a canister of radioactive goo spilled the chemicals onto baby turtles that had been accidentally dropped into a New York City sewer.

This is the last background panel piece 33 it goes here on the side aligned with these tabs. And then slide on the little locks. That's it the turtle secret sewer lair is complete.

Incredibly, back in the 1980s, three snapping turtles were actually found in a New York sewage treatment plant. Apparently, they were able to get into the sewers during periods of heavy rain when river floodgates are open. Luckily, this does not seem to be a common occurrence.

Venus de Milo was introduced in Fall of 1997 in the first episode of the live action NInja Turtles: The Next Mutation. Besides the fact that she was the only female Tmnt, she stuck out as being the only one named after not a famous painter, but rather a work of art.

Venus That honor goes to Venus, TV's first (and still only) female Ninja Turtle. Unlike her male counterparts - Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo, all of whom were named after noteworthy Renaissance artists - Venus got her name from the famously arm-less Greek statue depicting the goddess Aphrodite.

After being severely wounded by Karai, Jennika is transformed into a mutant turtle when Donatello uses Leonardo's blood to give her an emergency blood transfusion. As a mutant turtle, she wears a yellow mask and wields tekkō-kagi.

Leatherhead has always been characterized as male, but the character will be portrayed by Rose Byrne in the upcoming film. Byrne is well known for her work as Moira MacTaggert in X-Men: First Class and Renai Lambert in the Insidious movies. Leatherhead will evidently be gender-bent for her new appearance.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem ends with the humans and mutant cousins joining forces to defeat Superfly, who mutates into a mega mutant. Splinter changes his mind about saving humans after witnessing their willingness to help him and his sons, leading to their acceptance as heroes.

Summary. Raphael is the physically strongest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, capable of incredible feats of strength and overpowering opponents. Leonardo may not be the strongest, but his discipline and skill with swords make him a formidable fighter and leader.

The teenage mutant ninja turtles live in the sewers of New York City, though they do sometimes visit the farmhouse which either belongs to Casey Jones or April O'Neil (depending on the version of TMNT you are watching; i.e. it belonged to Casey in the 2003 cartoon, although originally it was owned by April).
