In Which Adaptions can Splinter whoop the Turtles? - Page 2

I think the point of Splinter using the Turtles as his "instruments", if you will, was because he was old and lacked the endurance necessary to carry out his life's mission. Splinter, in any incarnation, can kick the Turtles' asses. He just couldn't do it seven days a week. Maybe three. Four, at best.

to be honest, the only adaption where i actually had the feeling that splinter could woop ass on the turtles any day of the week would be idw. that issue where splinter beat the piss out of the foot was great. it really showed a side and ability of him that we pretty much never see.

the other versions are all good, but they leave me with the feeling that he ONCE was great and is now just a mentor/father/master.

The new nick Splinter looks like he could take on any of the four turtles. Haven't seen him in action yet, just judging by his size and youth alone. Thus far seems Raph is the strongest of the brothers, (physically) and that pressure point Splinter used on him at the beginning of episode one looked pretty ninja. Kind of reminded me of something Masaki Hatsumi would do to one of his students. Like how he got a little laugh out of that too, showing his slightly twisted shinobi humor.

I would think that being a master, that Splinter could whip the Turtles' a**es if he really wanted to demonstrate his power. The exception would be the movie Splinter as he didn't really do any fighting, though 2K7 Splinter probably could still teach his sons a thing or two. I hope we see Nick Splinter fight.

The simple answer is: all of the above. I believe in the '03 cartoon and Mirage Comics towards the end of the runs they could have held thier own against him,but never outright beat thier sensi even in a team effort.
