Blast from the Past #660: Sketchbook page 3, ideas for hulking mutated Splinter "were-rat"



On this third page from the sketchbook, I drew this rendering of how Splinter might appear in his "morphed" form. Here's a transcription of what I wrote on this page:

"Splinter could have the (limited) ability to morph into a huge were-rat

Perhaps he can't do this too much or too often, because it takes a lot out of him.

Whipping action tail!"




I wonder how this would have worked out if we'd actually gone forward with it? 

I find it a little amusing that I provided Spinter with some modesty-preserving torn shorts in this drawing, much like the Incredible Hulk and his purple pants. -- PL

  1. Did you imagine this to be a power under his control? I would have loved to see him struggle with controlling it.

    1. We never fully fleshed this out, but I recall that the intention was for it to be something initially under his control, but in certain circumstances it might get away from him -- the strength and ferocity might affect his reasoning powers. -- PL

  2. Splinter looks amazing as a mutated beast! I actually kinda liked his stint as a murderous vampire bat in the Image comics (random as it was)!

  4. in the original series, Some of these designs actually came to pass... Raph Got Super Long Claws, Don got some kind of techno organic eye sensor. Leo degenerated into a kind of dinosaur turtle. The ONLY one who never changed was Splinter....The Wear Rat idea would have been kind of fun...
