Origin[edit | edit source]
Spilinter was a pet rat who was owned by a martial arts master who was assassinated. The rat was exposed to a mutagen that transformed him into a half-human/half-rat and met similarly mutated turtles that he raised as his own children. He taught them martial arts and they became the superhero team The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
