In the current persistence of IDW Publishing’sTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , the Turtles are facing off against perhaps the greatest scourge they ’ll ever confront : the Rat King . The Rat King in the IDWTMNTcomics is an older divinity and the livelihood avatar of chaos and filth . Sure , he controls rats , but that ’s more of a byproduct of his divine power rather than a defining ability in and of itself . However , in the original ‘ 90s toon , there live a villain who was also called the Rat King . This tough guy was a man with the power to psychically control rats , mostly using them to pull off detailed heists . While the ‘ 90 Rat King was far from a god , he was the first incarnation of the same character reference that ’s giving the Turtles so much worry in the current canon , and he in reality just got a power that would assuredly make the new Rat King green-eyed : thepower to command the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles .

IDW ’s Rat King could have used this power to winthe Armageddon Game , with the added enjoyment of being able to manipulate his greatest foeman with a mere thought . Unfortunately for this chaos god , the Ninja Turtles are successful in defeat him , thus advance the Armageddon Game , which is something that would not have happen if this Rat King had the fresh acquired ( yet perfectly unappreciated ) power of the ‘ 90s Rat King .
