[Hider=Timeline]
[B]◼   2000 |[/B] Four turtles hatch from a clutch of eggs and are put on sale in a pet store in downtown Manhattan.

[B]◼   2001 |[/B] The four turtles are bought by Stock Gen and subjected to various experiments concerning genetic regeneration.
The turtles are named Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Raphael by an intern at Stock Gen.

[B]◼   2002 |[/B] Foot clan ninjas led by Shredder attempt to steal samples of mutagen from Stock Gen, but in their hastiness grab the four turtles as well. During their escape with the mutagen and the turtles, Splinter attacks Shredder and causes him to drop the mutagen and the turtles, where they are washed into the sewers and exposed to the mutagen but are separated from Splinter.

Coming to completely mutated, the turtles have no memory of being simple turtles in Stock Gen or of how they ended up in the sewers. 
The turtles begin wandering the sewers out of confusion and eventually wind up on the surface where they are shunned by the few people they approach. 

Splinter comes to and begins searching for the turtles, retaining his memories of Stock Gen and knowledge of the ninja arts.
 
[B]◼   2003 |[/B] The turtles slowly begin to remember small things from their past, including their names.

Splinter continues his search for the turtles, who have taken to wandering the streets at night in search of food while staying hidden during the day.

Raphael gets frustrated with hiding away and scrounging for food and sneaks off by himself. On his own, he comes across a group of other animals that were mutated by the same mutagen.

Raphael goes back to his brothers and tells them about the other mutant animals like them and follow him back to where he saw them at. Upon their return, the turtles are greeted by the leader of this group, a mutated raccoon named Apec. The turtles decide to stay among others of their kind.

[B]◼   2004 |[/B] After staying with the group of mutants for about a year, the turtles are approached by Apec and asked to go on a run with a few others from the group. The run turns out to be robbing people in alleyways. Leo confronts Apec about the robbery, but Apec replies by explaining that the group only steals what it needs to survive. Leo realizes this how they’ve been getting food and other supplies and decides to leave, Mikey and Donny going with him. Raphael decides to stay with the group.

Splinter finds the three turtles shortly after they leave Apec and his gang behind and go back to their life of hiding during the day and scavenging at night. Splinter tells the turtles about their life in Stock Gen, the night they were mutated and about how he’s been searching for them since. The turtles then explain to Splinter how they’ve been living the past year and about Raphael joining Apec’s gang of mutants.

Splinter goes to confront Raphael by himself, leaving the other turtles in their makeshift home in the sewers. Raphael refuses to leave the gang even after hearing about his origin from Splinter.

Returning without Raphael, Splinter begins training the other three in the art of ninjutsu so they may defend themselves.

[B]◼   2005 |[/B] Raphael continues running the gang of mutant animals led by Apec, doing simple robbery jobs to feed themselves. He notices the jobs are becoming more frequent and the amount stolen growing with every job but stays quiet.

[B]◼   2006 |[/B] Raphael meets Casey Jones while on a run with other gang members. Casey Jones takes down the gang of mutants and returns their stolen goods to the police station.

Raphael starts sneaking off from the gang to follow Casey at night until he is discovered by Casey. The two become quick friends, despite Casey not agreeing with Raph and his gang stealing from others even if it is to feed themselves.

On a botched job, one of the other gang members, one of Apec’s more trusted lieutenants, pulled a gun on a human. Upon their return, Raphael confronted Apec about the firearm, but Apec threatened to throw him out if he didn’t comply or worse if he made trouble for the rest of them. Thinking the gang was all he had in terms of family and acceptance, Raphael remained quiet, but began sneak out more often to meet with Casey and help people.

[B]◼   2007 |[/B] Splinter and the other turtles stop Apec’s gang during a job and confront Raphael again about leaving the gang behind. Apec gives Raphael a gun and makes him choose between the turtles and the gang. Raphael chooses the turtles, tossing the gun down, and helps his brothers fight the gang off.

Raphael returns home with Splinter and his brothers to being his own training in the ninja arts.

[B]◼   2008 |[/B] Raphael introduces Casey Jones to his brothers and Splinter. Casey becomes a trusted ally to the turtles.

[B]◼   2009 |[/B] Raphael catches onto his combat training quickly and soon catches up with his brothers but still finds it difficult to control his temper.

[B]◼   2010 |[/B] The turtles begin surfacing at night to help those in need of help but remain hidden for their own safety, sometimes accompanied by Casey Jones.

The turtles meet April O’Neil during one of their nightly adventures and become fast friends with her once they realize she was the intern who named them at Stock Gen.

[B]◼   2011 |[/B] The turtles have their first run in with the Foot Clan when they attempt to break into a lab on a nearby college campus that is researching the regrowth of limbs and begin their war with the clan of ninjas led by Shredder.

[B]◼   2012 |[/B] The turtles are ambushed by Apec and his gang. Raphael is shot during the fight by Apec but survives with minor damage.

[B]◼   2013 |[/B] Raphael is grievously wounded in battle with Shredder, forcing the turtles to retreat and find a new home somewhere the Foot Clan cannot find them.

[B]◼   2014 |[/B] Raphael begins fighting alongside his brothers again after taking the time to heal from his battle with Shredder.

[B]◼   2015 |[/B] The turtles meet Arsenal, who winds up in the sewers while on a bender. Arsenal teams up with the turtles to fight the Foot Clan for a brief period of time.

[B]◼   2016 |[/B] The turtles track the Foot Clan to Gotham, where they meet Batman and later team up with the Dark Knight to drive the Foot Clan and League of Assassins out of Gotham.

[B]◼   2017 |[/B] Raphael begins sneaking out to act as a vigilante separate from his brothers and their usual activities, inspired to do so by recent meetings with heroes and the emergence of more and more mutants on the surface. He is occasionally accompanied by his best friend, Casey Jones.[/hider]
