Retro-mutagen: What will come of it?

[victory_angel]

Okay we know Donnie is going to develop retro-mutagen in the coming episodes.

This is a concept that was used before particularly in the OT series episode "Splinter No More" Where Donatello is offers to create a way to restore Master Splinter to being human once more. But the effects only last about an hour or so.


So what sort of good can come from Donatello creating the retro mutagen? Also what consequences will come from it?

Somethings I can see is Donatello offering to restore Splinter's humanity with it. After all he's heard his father mourn his lost humanity often enough, why not do something selfless and offer that sense of freedom to his father.

However unlike the OT Splinter who was welcoming of that opportunity. I can see Splinter being firmly against it and telling Donatello to never make such a dangerous offer ever again. He later approaches Donatello and tells his that while he did appreciate his thoughtfulness. But he has grown to have sense of peace with his rodent form and feels his place is no longer in the world of men, but with his sons.

As for consequences I can see Karai becoming interested in it, for the obvious reasons of using it against the Turtles and Splinter... by using it as a bated carrot for anyone who has been affected by the mutagen.
