Rat King Question.....

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 05-15-2014, 10:17 PM

This probably falls under the category of "stupid questions", but it's worth asking anyway, if only for fun. A neighbor of ours just got a guinea pig, and my hubby and I have been playfully teasing her about it being a "tailless rat" (Yes, I know they are not the same thing...) Which led us to speculate on whether the Rat King would be able to control other rodents as well as rats. Could he? Controlling rats is all well and good, but what about mice? Gerbils? Hamsters?

Oh, and just for a kicker, the guinea pig has a patch of black fur on top of its head that resembles a bowl-cut, so we have dubbed it "Mo". As in the Three Stooges.

Okay, discuss, and have fun with it!

Probably, but Rodent King just doesn't have the right ring to it.

It's Rat King, not Rodent King, so no.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 05-15-2014, 10:27 PM

Yeah, I know that, but rodents are mostly fairly similar. Rats are just the most common. Aside from mice, that is. (Of course, we already have a "Mouse King" from the Nutcracker.)

Original series - maybe

4Kids series - didn't seem to have psychic powers over any rodents

Nick series - again, maybe

I'm optimistic

I have a Rat King question, in MIRAGE is he alive or more like a ghost?

*Powder* · 05-23-2014, 08:23 AM

One, then the other. He starts out being a regular dude, but when he dies he becomes a sort of fencewalking spiritual advisor to Splinter.

So he died when the turtles confronted him in the broken down warehouse/factory?

Yes, he died on that silo and was eaten by the rats, splinter finds his remains when he falls down there.
