combined with the Empyrean within the Crying Titan which would enable him to drain Splinter's essence. During the Turtles and April's fight with Shredder, Casey defected to their side and helped them, Baron Draxum, and the spirits of the Hamato Clan's ancestors defeat the Shredder while returning Oroku Saki's spirit to them. A second, more traditional version of Casey appears in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, voiced by Haley Joel Osment. This Casey hails from the year 2044, and travels back in time to warn the Turtles of an impending alien invasion by the Krang, helping them defeat the aliens after the invasion begins. After the Krang's defeat, it is revealed that Cassandra was also fighting the invaders on her own, and Casey reveals that he is her son. Feature films Casey Jones has lead roles in four of the six Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. In the first film, he is portrayed by Elias Koteas. He is a former professional ice hockey player who had turned vigilante after his career ended early due to an injury. He encounters Raphael while attacking some purse-snatchers. Raphael stops Casey from harming the thieves, whereupon Casey turns his aggression on Raphael. Casey later sees Raphael alone on a rooftop surrounded by Foot soldiers and comes to the Turtles' aid in the subsequent attack. He is referred to by Michelangelo as "Wayne Gretzky on steroids." Casey Jones joins the Turtles to assist them against the Shredder and the Foot, mentions to April that he was a professional ice hockey player until he got injured, and ultimately rescues Splinter from the Foot's headquarters and crushes the Shredder in a garbage truck. He also falls in love with April in the process. In the third film, Casey (once again portrayed by Elias Koteas) returns at the Turtles' request to assist Splinter in watching over the four honor guards that were transported to the present when the Turtles would take their place in feudal Japan. Koteas also appears as an ancestor of Jones named Whit who, like his descendant, ends up helping the Turtles despite anti-heroic tendencies. He also shows a romantic interest in April, as Casey does. It is implied that Casey had gone away for a while, explaining his absence in the second film. Casey appears in the 2007 TMNT film, and is voiced by Chris Evans. By the time the
