Does the Rat King's pet rats have names?

[Icebot]

I just watched Return of the Fly from season 3 and noticed the Rat King called one of his pet rats Mickey. And I remembered he also called one of his rats by name in Were Rats from Channel 6 (I forget how it's pronounced). Does anyone know of any other episodes where the Rat King used names for his rats?

[oldmanwinters]

I remember that little "Mickey" reference. It was pretty funny.

Didn't he also call one of his rats "Mortimer" ?

There was a Mortimer in Curse of the Evil Eye, the pet cat of the Channel 6 guy who was fired and had Shredder's helmet. I don't remember any rats named Mortimer though.

Oh, yes, that's right!

While I don't have a definite answer, thinking back to the OT, Rat King wasn't in a ton of episodes, a good handful maybe, but not a ton. And of those handful of appearances, I can only remember the already mentioned instances where his rats had names. Although, he did have one that he referred to as his 'queen', which could also be a name I guess.

He had more eps than Dregg, I believe.

Blodgett was the guy's name.

Rat King appeared in 10 episodes between 1989 and 1994. It would have been nice if it had been a few more. A follow up to Wrath of The Rat King especially to see if he would have done something to prove to Shredder and the Ninja Turtles that he is no one's pawn. Dregg appeared in four more episodes. He appeared in 14 episodes and had 2 cameoes in Split Second and Mobster From Dimension X.

Oh... Well, he still has the most appearances of a guest character I give a crap about. :D

[MikeandRaph87]

So, Rat King appeared in 16 eps, right? I'm pretty sure Dregg wasn't in all 16 of seasond 9 & 10.

No, 10 episodes. They were 1. Enter:The Rat King 2. Return of The Fly 3. Pizza By The Shred 4. Leatherhead Meets The Rat King 5. The Great Boldini 6. Were-Rats From Channel Six 7. Splinter Vanishes 8. Donatello's Duplicate 9. Night of The Rogues 10. Wrath of The Rat King. It would have been great to have him appear in more than 10 episodes since he was such an interesting character. I always was disappointed that his background was never revealed if only partially and Wrath of The Rat King deserved a follow up to showcase Rat King proving to the Ninja Turtles and Shredder no one can use him for their own purposes and he is a force to be reckoned with.

Dregg appeared in all of the last two season episodes except only appeared in one scene of Split Second to let the audience know he was behind Chronos's gear. In the next season in Mobster of Dimension X just after Shredder and Dregg were both thrown back to Dimension X and Dregg was shown on a communication device to be behind the Globfather much in the way Shredder would be behind Big Louie.

I started replying but then had to leave before I could finish the post. :twink: I answered your question edited or not.

Rat King and Shredder in the '87 cartoon are so interesting and fun well characterized villains that I hope will inspire future versions to be close to these versions.

[Mr.Turtle]

[Galactus]

They are not his pets...they are his subjects.
