And hopefully Krang will be the mass-murdering, planet-wiping villain that he is in the earlier Archie issues.

So the Utroms would be from this other dimension, supposing Krang is an Utrom (since the basic components for the mutagen came from him). I dunno. :o I think it's kind of a cool idea. Interested to see where things go.

I'm still not diggin' the idea of the Turtles once being humans, so...I dunno... I'll try not to rip my hair out if that's one of the big reveals next issue.

Spoiler:

But the first thing that popped into my head when Splinter said something like, "there are many things you don't yet remember," was that maybe they were once previously regular turtles, but having bumped into Krang somehow were mutated, but being formidable foes, Krang "got rid of" them by using them as test subjects for the super soldier serum or whatever, being the source where the serum came from...and so they were reduced to regular, small animals again—except Splinter retained some level of memory and intelligence throughout the whole ordeal.

Farfetched? :D Heck, I dunno.

Whatever. I've enjoyed the story so far, so I'll probably dig whatever has been thought up.
