Where Did Utroms/Krang Come From?

A quick Google search led me down a rabbit hole and got me thinkin' (OH GOD, NOT AGAIN) about the inspiration for the Utroms in Mirage and later, Krang in the '87 cartoon show.

Science fiction is littered with disembodied evil or malicious brains and alien brains but was there a single inspiration for Eastman and Laird to create the Utroms? Is that specifically where David Wise got the idea for Krang from? Do any of you know the direct inspiration for Utroms/Krang?

According to Google, Brain From The Planet Arous, a 1957, sci-fi B-movie is the world's most famous evil brain movie.

Any thoughts/ideas?
