Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Oroku Saki, better known as Shredder, is the primary antagonist of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. He is the leader of the Foot Clan, a criminal organization with ninjutsu origins.

Shredder's backstory varies depending on the iteration, but a common thread involves a rivalry with Hamato Yoshi, Splinter's human form. In many versions, Saki either kills Yoshi or is responsible for his transformation into a rat, thus fueling their enduring conflict.

Shredder is a master martial artist, skilled in ninjutsu and wielding bladed weapons. His signature armor is adorned with metal plates and blades, inspiring his intimidating moniker. He is ruthless, power-hungry, and constantly scheming to dominate New York City and defeat the Turtles.

Throughout the TMNT storylines, Shredder employs various tactics, from recruiting mutants to utilizing advanced technology. His unwavering dedication to evil and his personal vendetta against Splinter and the Turtles make him a formidable and iconic villain.
