User blog:DragonDude83/PE Proposal: Savanti Romero (2003 Series)

I’ve just proposed Savanti Romero from the comics, and now I’m going to propose another version of the character. What do you think of Savanti Romero (TMNT 2003)?

Who is Savanti Romero? What Has He Done?
Like the comics, Savanti Romero was the apprentice to the lord and master of time and space (also named Simultaneous from the comics). At one point, Romero tried to steal the time scepter from Simultaneous, only to be turned into a demon, and banished to Medieval times. From there, Romero plotted his revenge on Simultaneous, and managed to draw the time scepter (wielded by new apprentice, Renet) to him (mostly because she was afraid of what Simultaneous would do to her for taking the time scepter without permission). He captures Renet and the time scepter, and plans to kill Simultaneous to take over the universe. When the Turtles (who were dragged to Medieval times by Renet) attacked him, he managed to fight them off and defeat them, only to be knocked out from behind by Renet. Simultaneous arrives at Medieval times, and banishes Romero to the age of the dinosaurs. From there, Drako, who was masquerading as Romero’s pet dragon, took the time scepter to use for his schemes (the long arc of sending Turtles to the other dimensions, like the bad future of "Same As It Never Was") and escaped.

In the two part episode, Return of Savanti, Savanti Romero desired to have his revenge on the Turtles and Renet, and contacted them from his time through dinosaur bones in the museum, determined to wipe the Turtles and Renet out of existence, Romero lured them to prehistoric times, where he captures Renet, and orders the enslaved dinosaurs to kill the Turtles. Romero reveals his plan to Renet while tying her on top of a constructed device made out dinosaur bones. The plan is to use her life energy to cause the comet that killed off the dinosaurs to miss Earth completely, thus changing history and wiping out humans and the Turtles (humanity would not have existed because of this). The Turtles fight Romero on top of his construction and defeated him. From there, Romero fell off into a lake, where it was presumed that he drowned.

Heinousness
There is no doubt that Utrom Shredder is the absolute top of that level in the show, but Savanti Romero should pass if only for attempting to wipe out humanity from existence, solely to get rid of the Turtles. Despite him being banished in the three episodes he’s in (Medieval in Time Travails and Prehistoric in Return of Savanti, with his ability to cause harm being limited, Savanti manages to stand out even more. Also he tortured his pet (who was Drako in reality), simply because he annoyed him and he also smiled while doing it.

Mitigating Factors
None.

Final Verdict
Yes.
