Confused about Krang's Origin

[Utrommaniac]

I would have assumed married...whether it was a political marriage or romantic, I'm not sure. Somehow I got under the impression that Krang gave her the ring at some point, then took it back when he escaped

From what I recall, Shreeka wanted her ring for its power only. That would derail any sort of sentimental value of "Oh. He got this ring for me because he cares.." feeling that usually comes from obtaining a ring from a male partner.

I used to think that she either inherited the ring from her mother (Or picked it off of her dead finger after a violent dispute), or that Shreeka swiped the ring elsewhere.

Well, obviously it was no longer sentimental at that point, but I still question why she wore it on her left hand. Even when Shredder puts it on, he wears it on his right.

I've often thought this, too. I think that while there was some "surprise" at him just being a brain, it may have just not been expected at that point, as much as it was possible.

Maybe Krang just had a robot while in Dimension X which he refered to as a body.

Its kind of funny how both IDW and Nick tried to tie Krang into the Utrom origins.

- In IDW, Krang IS an Utrom and he's trying to revive his race.

- In Nick, Krang is also an Utrom but he discovered the mutagen and enslaved Utroms turning them into mindless "Kraang." So Kraang Prime and Subprime were also Utroms at one point.

In the original cartoon he's both Krang and part of a lizard/Krangezoid race.

And that upcoming crossover might retcon that. That "Kraang Sub-Prime and Krang are cousins" bit might have been a joke but if it isn't, well...

The Krangezoid clones developing bodies is no state that Krang had such a body.
