History
Leatherhead didn't start off on a good foot with the Turtles. He was always enraged when he first emerged from the water on a beach they were hanging out on, and as soon as they drew their weapons in defense, he attacked them. It was only after Mikey had managed to calm him down that he was able to explain himself. Donatello was the most excited to meet another mutant like them. Sure they had Splinter, but Leatherhead was once an animal like they were. They immediately hit it off when they began talking about computers, and once everything and settled down, Donatello was the first to help him set up a place to stay on the beach. Donnie and Leatherhead would go searching for computer parts to help Leatherhead set up in an old beach house, all the while sharing their theories about mutagen and mutant biology. They would also fix up the boats outside together.
Nicknames & Petnames
Pepino - to Donnie.
Relationship Reasoning
Donatello looks up to Leatherhead almost like an uncle figure. It's not often he can talk to a fellow mutant of the same caliber of intelligence as him, so it gives him someone other than his immediate family he can talk to and relate to. Leatherhead is also more mature than say, April, so he acts as another adult he can go to for advice. Leatherhead is more then happy to hang out with Donatello, and finds him to be a good kid with the potential to do great things in the world. Story Spoilers
History
Leatherhead's first encounter with the turtles didn't leave a good impression. He emerged from the water while the turtles were hanging out on the beach, and they quickly drew their weapons in self defense. This sent Leatherhead into one of his black out rages and he attacked the turtles. Mikey was the first one to notice that he seemed to have some control of his actions as he avoided disturbing a nest of baby sea turtles mid rampage. Mikey used this as an opportunity to try to get through to him, dropping his weapons and speaking to him calmly, even offering him food. This was enough to shake him out of it and he profusely apologized for attacking them. After explaining himself the turtles forgave him and were eager to help him on his mission.
Nicknames & Petnames
Pequeño - to Mikey.
Relationship Reasoning
Mikey likes hanging out with Leatherhead cause he's cool and big and another mutant like him. Mikey is one of the few people who can talk him down when he has an outburst, as he's sympathetic of what he's going through and won't treat him like a monster.
