The Rat King and Splinter
 

ok, Splinter is a rat, RAt King is the rat king. So how come Rat King never took contol of splinter? Or is it in a episdoe that I missed out on.

'Enter the Rat King' had him control Splinter and make him attack the tmnt. One of the CBS eps had Rat King return with his flute, taking control of Splinter again. One of the Archie comics also had him control Splinter and make him attack the tmnt.

I don't think he should have been able to take control of Splinter because he is a mutant ninja! Splinter should have easily overcome the attacks.

Even if Splinter's a ninja master, he's still a rat. And they eventually broke the Rat King's hold on Splinter, no? And I mean, think about it, for all of Splinter's, or any human's, mental discipline, how many people actually have to deal with being mind controlled?

I've studied mental defense, and offense, and like anything else, there's always a weakness.

LOL, ok now I rememberwatching one of those eps.

ok, rat kinf kidnapped april so the tmnt and splinter were out to find her. rat king took control of him, but leonardo helped him break free. Splinter's will broke Rat King's control over him, but he didn't want to risk it happening again, so he let the tmnt continue the search without him.

Rat King- they got away with their ninja master... or should I say.. MY ninja master... This battle of wills isn't over yet..."

City At War records the interesting meeting between Splinter and the Rat King - or did it really? :wink:
