Talk:Rat King (1987 TV series)/@comment-29383531-20180429180231

I've come up with something of a backstory for him: as a child he was subjected to nightmare genetic alterations at the hands of his abusive father, who injected him with rat pheromone-based chemicals, thus giving him an ability to generate such chemicals, before literally dropping him into the sewer and abandoning him. There, he soon came across rats, and somehow through a combination of the pheromones and some kind of animal loyalty, they developed a bond with him (he never had any friends before), thus leading him to think of himself more as a rat than a human.
