So...who banished Krang from Dimension X?

[neatoman]

Let's just ignore the Nickelodeon crossovers, shall we?

1. Since nobody at the time likely imagined there would be more TMNT in the future, it's doubtful it was ever the plan to have it be some characters from a reboot.
2. Even if it was the intention that he was banished by his own people, several aspects of the 2012 show simply can't fit with the Fred Wolf show. Dimension X sure as hell wasn't a pink Xen parody in the Fred Wolf cartoon.

Now there is one thing the Nickelodeon crossovers might be correct about, Krang could very well have been banished by his own race. Banishment usually implies you are no longer allowed in your own nation of origin, which I guess translates to his own planet in Dimension X here. The problem is that we don't know what his actual crimes are, though when a leader is exiled, it tends to be because they tried to commit a coup. So if Krang was banished by his own, it is likely because he tried to maintain power through illegal means. Another possibility is that he allied himself with an enemy of theirs, let's imagine the Rock Soldiers are enemies of Krang's people and since he accepted a role as a commanding officer in their army, he simply wasn't allowed to go back to his people.

Another possibility is that Dimension X has some kind of regulatory body for treaties, kind of like the UN or something, and Krang had somehow betrayed Dimension X as a whole. This would explain why his exile is outside Dimension X.

Of course none of this is explained and I'm basically writing a better show in my head right now. There are several question marks that need to be explained here. Just for simplicity, here is a list of them:

• What were Krang's crimes?
• Who were his victims?
• Why were they considered crimes?
• Why earth in particular?
• Why allow him to keep the Technodrome and a teleportation device so he can return as powerful as before?
• Why isn't he punished whenever he returns to Dimension X?
