Changing mutants back to normal
 

How long do you think it will take for Donatello to find an antidote and turn the mutants back to normal? Also, who do you think will be changed back?

1. I think in the 20's mark for this season. 2. Obviously Kirby and Mutagen Man.

I imagine the only mutants we'll see turn back to normal are April's Dad and Mutagen Man. I can't see them doing the same for the others.

Maybe Spiderbitez might get demutated, but I don't think Snakeweed, Rahzar or Fishface ever will.

Maybe Donnie will accidentally de-mutate one of his brothers?

I don't know, though. If it's in Season 2, definitely later in the season, if not in the finale. What if he can't? What if there isn't any? I mean, Mikey got weird lumps on him and nearly exploded from a "bad" batch of the retrograde mutagen (or whatever he calls it). So far, all he's really had are bad batches, it's not like anyone has turned back.

Mutagen and Kirby Bat would be turned back. Possibly Xever. I don't think Rahzar can be, he's been double mutated. Maybe Snakeweed and Spiderbytez? Or maybe if you're a mutant for so long, it doesn't matter anymore. Who knows? Fun to think about, though!

I wonder if Splinter would want to be de-mutated...

It's possible, if it will help him get through to Miwa...

I think he's quite happy with his current state. (For example, the fight with Shredder in the season 1 finale as he uses his fighting skills and his rat abilities.)

If Splinter becomes human, then what about the boys? :( No he won't ever leave them.

Donnie might find the cure/retromutagen at the end of the series. Or not, cause things are entertaining at the moment, and we don't have to deal with blab mouth Pulverizer thankfully.

I wonder how they'll create a loophole for Splinter to stay as a rat if retromutagen works on Kirby and Timmy.

Maybe they'll say something like the longer you're a mutate, the more permanent it becomes? Splinter was a mutant for 15 years...but everyone else just became a mutant recently.

I'm curious to see if Timothy will be turned into a stud like Seymour was in the OT. :tlol:

I'm thinking if they're going to de-mutate any mutant characters that were human, wouldn't they all be naked since they lost their clothes during their mutations? I guess they're going to put the whole cartoon logic thing and have them fully clothed despite having no clothes as mutants. How are they going to deal with Mutagen Man de-mutating since his flesh and bones melted off?

The mutagen that changed the turtles and Splinter has been explained as being different than the ones that changed recent mutants, due to the Kraangs tampering. It could very well end up being that the anti mutagen doesn't work on their mutation.

Where did you hear that?

I don't think Timothy will be returned to human. I get a feeling that is being set up to have Donatello make a painful decision to in order to save someone or a group of someones that he cares about.

Kirby and Dr. Rockwell will definitely be restored to human. Spiderbites and Snakeweed will probably be restored to human when their arc is over and they are no longer needed as villains.

Splinter I get the feeling he will at least be approached with the option, but I don't think he would be as willing to accept it as he was in the OT. I think he may angrily tell Donatello never to bring that question up to him again. And later he would tell Donnie that he appreciated his generosity and consideration. But he has accepted what he has become and that was why he could not accept Donatello's offer to restore his humanity.

Don't see Snakeweed getting turned back. He's probably the best "filler" mutant and his human form was just a generic throwaway character.

I imagine Kirby, Mutagen Man, Rockwell and maybe Spiderbitez are the only ones I can see becoming human again.

I think they would change Slash back to Spike. Also I see Kirby and Mutagen Man being turned back too. But I don't think Donnie will come up with a retro mutagen until later seasons when they run out of storyline ideas.

No way Slash would give up his new form to be turned back into a pet...

What I think is that Don will probably only have enough retro mutagen to de mutate one person by the end of the season and will obviously pick Kirby to de mutate...

What about the Ice Cream Kitty? They could use it to turn it back to a normal cat.

They could test on her/him to see if it works.

But mutants are normal!!! :lol: The way Xever has been handled as a character makes me think it's a possibility he goes back or evolves in some way related to that issue.
