Were there any other rat king episodes planned?

He only had one episode and then the cameo out of the whole series. And I don't remember reading about any other planned episodes with him that for whatever reason never came to fruition. Very underused. So was there more planned episodes for him that you know of or was that just supposed to be it for him?

Technically he was in 3. One as the Slayer, then Rat King and the stupid cameo. My guess is that it might have been planned, but due to the time jump they decided not to. This is all Simply Speculation though.

Yeah, there was loads of potential there, too bad they didn't use it.

Another thing is they waited to introduce him in season 4. had it been maybe a bit earlier than maybe they woulda had more time to back to him.I monster is Easily one of the most badass episodes too. What with Rat King kicking the TMNT's (Casey too) collective ass.

I would have loved to see a badass fight between Splinter and Rat King... and by fight, I mean physical and psychic! See a take on the Mirage City at War dynamic...

There would have been much more room for him if it weren't for all that flash forward nonsense.

I don't mind that he was just in one episode. It fits the whole mysterious "what is this guy about!?" story and vibe about it. *If only they ever knew, but they just won't ever know."

Me too, I'm kind of disappointed it didn't happen.

It does feel like Rat King was criminally underused in the show. I know for Fast Forward, the show really wanted to introduce a whole new crop of villains with the exceptions of Bishop & Baxter, but how cool would it have been to see the Rat King still lurking around after 100 years?
