| ~ Casey Jones catchphrase |
Casey Jones is one of the main characters of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. He's a vigilante characterized by wearing a hockey mask and carrying a golf bag full of sport weapons.
Beginnings
New York City, where Jones is from, was overrun by criminals. Enticed by examples from TV, Casey decided to do something about the crime in the streets. After equipping himself with a hockey mask and various sports clubs, he began his vigilante campaign.
He started his career with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when he ran into Raphael beating up a pair of muggers. When Raphael let them go, Casey proceeded to "finish them off," but was stopped by Raphael. The two clashed but eventually helped each other take down additional muggers that appeared after their fight.
