==[[RPG]]==
 
Casey Jones was given statistics in the original sourcebook from [[Palladium Books]], and he also appeared fighting a caveman in [[Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]].
 
 
==Image Comics==
 
[[Casey Jones]] , in addition to working as a handyman in [[April O'Neil]] ’s complex, got a new job at another supermarket, this one in New York, where he became promoted to assistant produce manager. He jumped [[Donatello (Image)|Donatello]], thinking him to be one of the cyborgs he heard that earlier assaulted Donatello. He was nearly killed by Donatello when the Turtle’s Artificial Intelligence temporarily kicked in. When his daughter was kidnapped by [[Foot (Image)|Foot]] (under the employ of mob boss [[Antoine Puzorelli]]—her grandfather) he got drunk, then picked a fight with hoodlums and got shot. Taken to the hospital, he was soon greeted by [[Michelangelo]] , who had rescued Shadow from the mob (TMNT Vol. 3, #6 - 8).
 
 
Antoine Puzorelli then had his thugs put his apartment on surveillance in an attempt to locate his granddaughter. When April caught on to this and told Casey, Casey, April, and Shadow went into hiding in the Turtles’ current hideout in the mausoleum of Westwood Cemetery. Casey accidentally clubbed Raphael when he returned to the hideout, thinking him an intruder. He, April, and Shadow met back up with [[Leonardo (Image)|Leonardo]] and Michaelangelo when they brought brought Donatello to their mausoleum hideout, where he was then revived (TMNT Vol. 3, #11, 12 & 15). Casey was fired from his job at the supermarket when he called in sick and helped Michaelangelo and Leonardo kill the three Komodo Dragons and subdue [[King Komodo]], appearing in a news broadcast his employer saw. He quickly received a ten thousand dollar reward for his efforts and a ticker tape parade ceremony in honor of him. (TMNT Vol. 3, #19 - 23).
 
 
==Archie Comics==
 
While never making a full appearance in [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures]], Casey Jones was present in the comic book's adaptation of the first movie and was mentioned in the [[Year of the Turtle]] miniseries.
 
 
==2003 series==
 
===='''Fast Forward'''====
 
 
In ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward|Fast Forward]]'', it is revealed that Casey and April got married. Their line of descendants leads up to [[Cody Jones]] in the year 2105, who has become one of the Turtles' greatest fans.
 
 
===='''[[Back to the Sewer]]'''====
 
Casy appears in ''[[Back to the Sewer]]''. He and April have been taking care of the Turtles' lair during their year-long absence, and during this time Casey was brain-washed by [[Master Khan|Kahn]], a member of the Foot Clan and associate of the Purple Dragons. In the end, things get back to normal, and Casey proposes to April. In the finale ''[[Wedding Bells and Bytes]]'', he ends up marrying April, with serving Raphael as his best man, many recurring characters being in attendance and the ceremony performed by the [[Fugitoid (2003 TV series)|Fugitoid]].
 
 
Due to the change in art, Casey resembles the version of himself from the ''TMNT'' movie, complete with the black hockey outfit he wears when out fighting crime with the Turtles.

==Movies==
 
:<div class="noprint">''Main article&#58; [[Casey Jones (Movies)]]''</div>
 
Casey Jones appeared in the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|first]], [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III|third]], and [[TMNT (2007 film)|fourth]] [[TMNT]] movies, as well as a self-titled [[Casey Jones (film)|fan film]]
 
==='''First Movie'''===
 
In the first film, he is portrayed by [[Elias Koteas]]. Jones was first introduced to the [[Turtles]] in an altercation with [[Raphael (Movies)|Raphael]]. The two of them actually fought each other in a [[New York City]] park, just after Raphael stopped some punk from stealing a woman's purse and Casey was about to beat them to a pulp for that whereupon Casey turns his aggression on Raphael. In the initial altercation, Jones used two Jose Canseco bats, which Raphael sarcastically asked if Jones in fact paid money for them, and a cricket bat to put Raphael in a garbage can.
 
 
Casey later sees Raphael alone on a rooftop surrounded by [[Foot Ninja (Movies)|Foot soldiers]]. Jones proved to be very useful in a fight when he joined the Turtles while they were being attacked by the [[Foot Clan (Movies)|Foot Clan]] above [[April O'Neil (Movies)|April O'Neil]]'s store. He is referred to by [[Michaelangelo (Movies)|Michaelangelo]] as "Wayne Gretzky on steroids". Casey Jones joins the Turtles to assist them against the Shredder and the Foot, and ultimately rescues [[Splinter (Movies)|Splinter]] from the [[Foot Headquarters (Movies)|Foot Headquarters]]. He also deliberately set the garbage truck to compact the [[Shredder (Movies)|Shredder]], simply stating "Oops".
 
 
After a rocky start, Jones developed a love interest with April O'Neil, and the two of them kiss at the end of the first movie. Casey Jones origins are not revealed, but he did tell April that he played hockey professionally before he got hurt less than a year afterwards.
 
 
==='''Second Movie'''===
 
Despite his significant role in the first movie, as well as his developing relationship with April O'Neil Casey is absent for the entirety of the second film. Oddly enough, he isn't even mentioned.
 
 
==='''Third Movie'''===
 
In the third film Casey is once again portrayed by Elias Koteas. When the Turtles made their decision to travel to feudal [[Japan]] to rescue April O'Neil, [[Michelangelo (Movies)|Michelangelo]] recruited Casey to help Splinter keep an eye on [[Kenshin]] and the [[Honor Guards]] back home at were transported to the present when the Turtles would take their place in feudal Japan. Although very much subdued from the original film, Casey was still very much himself, and helped teach the finer points of living in the 20th century to the visitors from the past. Koteas also performs an ancestor of Jones named [[Whit]], who like his descendant ends up helping the Turtles despite anti-heroic tendencies and he also shows a romantic interest in April, just like how Casey does.
 
It is implied that he had moved away for a time and has finally returned to [[New York]].
 
 
==='''Fourth Movie'''===
 
Casey appears in the 2007 TMNT film, and is voiced by [[Chris Evans]]. Casey is now living with April, and it is shown that he has commitment issues because April is ready to get married but he isn't. He works for April's shipping company as a delivery man, spending his nights continuing his vigilante activities. Through this, he meets Raphael as the [[Nightwatcher#2007 film|Nightwatcher]], becoming his sidekick - though he claims Raphael is the sidekick. At the beginning of the film, he is the only character to know that Raph is the Nightwatcher-when he meets Raph in costume, the latter is at first confused; Casey states, "Wasn't that hard, man. Y'know, you look like a big metal turtle," and Raph says, rather despondently, "It's that obvious, huh?" He's still pretty much the same person, but not as rough as he used to be. He assists the Turtles on rescuing Leo and saving the city from [[Max Winters (Movies)|Max Winters]]' [[Stone Generals (Movies)|evil generals]]. Casey loses his plastic hockey mask, but near the end of the movie (before they go to Winters' Corp.) April gives him a stainless steel hockey mask that looks exactly like his old plastic ones.
 
 
==='''Casey Jones: The Movie'''===
 
Casey appears as the main character of the 2011 fan film [[Casey Jones (film)|Casey Jones]]. He is portrayed by [[Hilarion Banks]]. The film is an origin story which sees Casey take on the [[Purple Dragons]] to protect his neighborhood.
 
 
==Video Games==
 
=== '''TMNT (1987)''' ===
 
[[Casey Jones (1987 video games)|Casey Jones]] is a playable character in the NES and Sega Genesis versions of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters]]'', and he appears in the background in [[Donatello]]'s stage in the SNES version.
 
 
In [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Manhattan Missions]] he rescues the Turtles if they lose all their health.
 
 
==='''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 video game)|TMNT 2003 games- PS2/Game Cube/X Box/PC]]'''===
 
[[Casey Jones (2003 video games)|Casey Jones]] is in the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 video game)|2003 video game]] and the 2003 Game Boy Advance game ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles''. He is a boss in [[Raphael (2003 video games)|Raphael]]'s story mode, and if the player inserts a cheat code or beats stage 1 as Raphael, he will become a playable character in story mode. Casey is also an unlockable playable character/alternate for Raph in ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus]]''.
 
 
In''' [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare]]''', Casey appears mostly in the cutscenes. He and [[April O'Neil (2003 video games)|April O'Neil]] are imprisoned on a [[Triceraton (2003 video games)|Triceraton]] spaceship during the first episode of the game. After being rescued, he briefly becomes playable in a shooter level, taking the place of [[Leonardo (2003 video games)|Leonardo]] in the Player 1 position.
 
 
He is a playable character in''' ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Melee]]'''''. In Mutant Melee, he has a unique storyline in which he must get revenge on Shredder and the Purple Dragons for the death of his father. His ending reveals that he intends to seek a job as a Pewee hockey coach, the job he "always wanted had he not become a vigilante." In each game, his appearance mirrors his initial 4Kids appearance (prior to the Back to the Sewers redesign); alternate seasonal (summer and winter) outfits are unlockable in Mutant Melee.
 
 
==='''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Smash-Up|TMNT: Smash Up]]'''===
 
He is a fully-playable base character with his appearance from the 2007 movie. He wields his hockey stick and is designed as a "Power" character with very powerful repel attacks.
 
 
==Abilities==
 
Casey is a very formidable and dangerous combatant in peak physical condition, he is acrobatic and very agile for a man of his age but his fighting speciality, for which he shown great proficiency, is the use of various battering sport implements, such as baseball bats, golf clubs, and cricket bats, of which he carries a fair selection in a spacey golf quiver.
 
 
He isn't exceedingly intelligent but he knows some things from being a vigilante for a long time. He's also shown to be a master of stealth, being able to evade capture by the NYPD in his vigilante career.
 
 
In the 2003 series, Casey acquired some basic martial arts skills as an unwitting stooge of [[Master Khan]] during the year the Turtles spent in the future. However, he still prefers to go into combat with his battering equipment.
 
 
==Trivia==
 
* In more than one incarnation of the franchise, Casey's battle cry is "Goongala!" In the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series)|2003 series]], in the 13th episode of season 3, "[[The Lesson (2003 episode)|The Lesson]]", Casey's modern-day battlecry originated from Michelangelo, who taught him to shout "Goro Goro Sama!" (literally, "Mr. Thunder"), which Casey ultimately garbled into "Goongala!"
 
* Casey Jones was created as a parody of vigilante characters that were in comics. Instead of having something tragic happen in his past that helped him choose the path to go out and fight crime on his own, Casey Jones was inspired to do the same, but just from watching too much bad TV, like "TJ Hooker" and "A-Team". However, the 2003 series gave him a tragic backstory, as well as a semi-retconned backstory in Tales issue #59.
 
* In the ''[[TMNT (2007 film)|2007 film]]'', there is a subplot, although very lightly touched upon, concerning Casey's uncertainty of his own maturity and ability to commit to a stable lifestyle with [[April O'Neil]]. In an alternate ending that got halfway through the animation stages, Casey ultimately proposes with a wedding ring taped to the inside of her motorcycle helmet. This implies that Casey's subplot may have been a much more prominent role in previous script versions. This ending is touched upon in the [[TMNT (2007 game)|Game Boy Advance game]] based on the movie.
 
* Casey's favorite food has been stated to be Italian, Mexican, and pretzels.  
 
* Casey's favorite color is green.
 
 
==Etymology==
 
*Full Name: Jonathan "Casey" Jones
 
*Also Known As: Casey Jones
 
*Gender: Male
 
*Origin: American English
 
*Meaning: From Cayce
 
*Origin: Gaelic
 
*Meaning: Descendant of Cathasach
 
*Origin: Greek
 
*Meaning: Pet form of Cassandra
 
*Pronunciation: (KAY see)
 
Casey was first used as an honorary nickname for American folk hero Jonathan 'Casey' Jones. He acquired his nickname from his birthplace, Cayce, in Kentucky. Casey is also a last name, an anglicised form of the Irish Gaelic surname Ó Cathasaigh. This means 'descendant of Cathasach', a name which itself means 'vigilant' or 'noisy'. As both surnames and Irish names are currently 'in' it's no surprise that Casey is popular in the US, but after a popularity peak in the mid-80s it was ranked 308th most popular name for boys in 2006.
