Thoughts on Fred Wolf's version of the Rat King?

Undoubtedly Shredder would have rubbed that fact into Krang's face, and would use that every time Krang would scold Shredder for messing up.

Yes, he didn't have origins, and to be honest, that never bothered me. Don't know why, but I'm just fine with him being a nutcase living in the sewers who loves rats.

And he tried to get Splinter on his side by playing the flute that put every rat under his control.

I doubt he used to belive he was a rat. He knew he was human, but just refered to himself as a rat once in a rhetorical way of talking.

Such a fun, crazy villain. There was an exchange between him and April that I think summed up his character pretty well:

Rat King: My devoted rodent followers and I are establishing a new form of government in these sewers, a RAT-OCRACY, and I AM THEIR LEADER!

April: Oh brother. You're also nuttier than a truck load of fruitcakes

My first thought: "That guy is a major CREEPER!!"

Sort of dressins like the Creeper too.

OT's Rat King even had a catchphrase: "My loyal subjects." He was written to be a monarch by using his rats to disturb the outsiders and kidnap people to later use them as servants to the rats. That pied piper flute which briefly turned Splinter against the Turtles was fairly dramatic, and the smoke bombs were a fun weapon. That said, its interesting that he would help the Turtles find April by posting a clue at the Channel 6 building. His final appearance was the best when he sided with Krang to attempt to mutate his rats. Townsend Coleman did a good job giving him an edge to his laughter.
