Super Shredder?
The OT ooze had Cursed Springs from Ranma 1/2-esque effects...

I'm not entirely sure how the OT ooze was anything like the Jusenkyo Springs, outside of the fact that it seemed more magical than scientific. But in regards to Super Shredder, he wasn't from the OT. Super Shredder was from the live-actions movies (where Splinter was always a rat, just like in the comics).

That's weird the forum didn't update my previous post after I edited it to add the following line... "without the water transformations." But whatever...

The OT ooze is weird...

I always imagined that Splinter probably got into his fair share of scrapes between the time he was mutated to the first issue of the comics. I mean thats 15 years right there, a lot of things could have happened. I actually think they should do a story like that where we get a glimpse of Splinter pretty much trying to build a life for him and the turtles and the many things he probably had to deal with. I mean for example, I bet it wasn't exactly easy for him to collect all those ninja weapons for the boys but somehow he did it. He also seemed to have kept a good eye on Oroku Saki and his whereabouts.

Maybe splinter acutally was the master at human form, however when he mutated into an old rat he just simply lost all his physical strengh and muscles. Just look at his tiny arms/legs in compared to the turtles, u can imagine how much strengh is inside of that torn out body of mutation.

The OT mutagen is wildly implausible even by the standards of a property like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

That said, a rat practicing ninja moves is distractingly ridiculous for a universe as ostensibly and relatively serious as the Mirage universe.

But whatever your preference, this topic is fantastic; I always just kind of took Splinter's Yoda status as a given, but your question is a provocative one.
