Raph's biggest flaw is his quick temper. Once someone gets under his skin, Raph tends to forget his training and rush into battle.
His biggest merit is that he is very protective of his family.

I totally agree....ESPECIALLY if I'm bugging him for the shell of it!  ;D All jokes aside, he does have his moments when it comes to protecting his family...this I know for sure... ;D |

Raphael is my favorite turtle for a reason - he is possesed by rage. It doesn't take much to get him ticked and when he gets ticked, he really gets ticked. Though he is very agressive at times, he really cares for his family and can't stand it if any member is hurt by someone else. True, he has fights with Leo, and at times he is very close to hurting him, but he loves his brother like Don and Mike. He just doesn't show it as much because he wants to be leader as well  |

Pros: he's one tuff brute! which the turtles need to face with some enemies. he very caring in ways. he just hotheaded when mike bugs him all the time which i dont blame him mike needs to stop once in awaile mambe he wouldnt have been such a tmepered turtle
cons: he rushes in battle without thinking. he lack of fear is to hurt someone or let his dark side take over.

Like everyone here already said, Raph's biggest flaw is his temper. His consistent arguing with Leonardo doesn't help matters, either. However, I think he does that just to prove how much he cares, that he wants to be deemed important to the group (even though his brothers tell him he is).
But, I think his strengths outweigh his weaknesses. He's tough; he can take a good deal of pain and keep coming. He's also got that passion for fighting and will go to great lengths to do the right thing. He means well, above all, and isn't afraid to show it.

~And taking this one level deeper (i can't help it-- it's what I do for a living....  ) I really believe the primary source of Raphael's anger lies in the fact that he cannot be Leonardo.
Leo has Splinter's favor-- the eldest son, the "star" pupil, and Raphael, no matter what he does, can't change that. Not that he is consciously aware of that he wants to be the favored one, but it leaks out in all his defiance toward Leonardo's claim to leadership (And I think in a lot of ways Leo became leader by default, but that's another whole thread)
So anyway, yeah. Family dynamics. Killer stuff.
