Krang was an evil Utrom...

**Jester** · 07-09-2011, 02:56 AM

if you consider the daily strips to be some sort of canon...

*Powder* · 07-09-2011, 03:05 AM

I've always kind of told myself he was one anyway, obviously he's based on them. Cool to see it is almost canon.

**Jester** · 07-09-2011, 03:12 AM

Is the Utrom home world called Utr anywhere else? Cause the dailies names it thus.

Didn't realize I had to be so damn specific.

**Jester** · 07-09-2011, 04:01 AM

Cartoon...Archie...it's very closely tied to each. Take Leatherhead. His "voice" is very much the Fred wolf series, but his origin is straight out of Archie.

I'm pretty sure Theta Galaxy is the only name we've ever got.

Heh, I forgot about that!

I remember there was an argument about this on NTML years ago (some of you might know what that is, others not so much) and GreenWillow and several other purists became angry when tokka cited this strip in defense of Raph's Girl/Dierna, who at the time was insistent that Uroms were Krangs and vice-versa. I believe GW's exact words were "Gah!!! Tricksy little Jim Lawson and/or Dan Berger!" Ha...

*CyberCubed* · 07-09-2011, 10:57 AM

How is being "based on" the Utroms the same as being as one?

The Fred Wolf staff obviously liked the idea of alien brain things, decided to create one to be a main villain in the series, and based it off the designs of the Utroms and their robot suits.

Krang should never be called an Utrom. If anything you can say they share a common ancestor like humans and apes.

**Venom** · 07-09-2011, 04:21 PM

Well, C³, if you think outside the box, it'd be easy to believe that the "alien brain" story was a lie, and the Krang clones that grew bodies were the Oot equivalent of "evolved genetic abberations" like the Turtles.

**Jester** · 07-09-2011, 04:36 PM

The only problem with using the dailies as a basis for "Krang is a Utrom" is that the Utrom's claim they created the TGRI (I know...the plot thickens) mutagen that created the Turtles. Then again, a rogue Utrom might just steal some, and give it to his new ally. Heck, he might even know the secret family recipe.

**Venom** · 07-09-2011, 04:47 PM

What if TGRI was a subsidiary of a larger TCRI?

Roll that beautiful ooze footage!

Although there be similarities, I see the Fred Wolf, Archie and the dailies ad three seperate universes. Very close ones, yes, but still different enough to be their own.
