My take on a biblically accurate Raphael! Alligator snapper turtles look terrifyingly prehistoric, skin like a thorn bush, head like a dinosaur, limbs like a bear, it’s crazy. I’m already scared of common snappers, I can’t imagine meeting one like this! Such a polite boy, yet with the raw power to punch you through a wall even without powers lol
It’s hard to give turtles facial expressions considering they don’t really have facial muscles, but it’s a fun exercise! Perhaps their face could work like a bird or dragon, where the beak is stiff but the corners are flexible, idk. Maybe in their mutation, they developed some more mammalian traits to better communicate nonverbally, like a brow bone and muscle, a flexible nose bridge to wrinkle if disgusted or angered, and flexible cheeks to smile and frown.
I kept them more animalistic just for fun! No teeth because turtles have none, the ability to walk on all fours because their limbs are proportionate for it, and plastron more accurate to their real counterparts rather than the more human torso looking kind. Alligator snappers are funny because their arms are so huge but their plastrons are so tiny just to fit them!

Topanga, turning her head: ...and then there's the disaster couple...
Eric: YOU NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO ME INSTEAD OF BEING AT THE HOSPITAL!

steve probably spent a lot of time bedridden or in hospital, and playing cards have always been cheap. i bet he knows how to count cards, got invited to play cards with the other candidates at camp lehigh on their first night, sharked the game, and never got asked to play again.
Also offers up the possibility of Steve and Bucky playing as a team, during the war, with Bucky card-counting and secretly signalling, while Steve (the guy with the USO money) pulls the big dumb blonde act, ('oh look fellas, my bet came through! what're the odds!') with his big blue eyes all innocent, every time he strikes it rich.
Takes the Howlies ages to catch on (and they can still never work out how exactly Sarge is signalling!)
Steve's photographic memory would probably come in super useful for this too...
Also: imagine Bucky trying to keep bedridden Steve entertained by learning...😬...magic card tricks. Only half works because he's so appallingly bad at it that Steve ends up laughing himself into a coughing fit.
