Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film informatics Part 09: Shredder

  
Shredder is the hideous, gruesome and all around bad guy leader of the Foot Clan, the organized band of evil Ninjas. He wears a robotic samurai suit with retractable blades, which he can shoot against his opponents.
Shredder wants nothing more than control of the world. And to get there, he'll stop at nothing, even if it means grating his victims like cheese with his razor-sharp armor. The obstacles in his path are none other than the Turtles, and he means to destroy them. Shredder fights a never-ending battle against truth, justice, and the American way.
Shredder's real name is not given in the film. He is also shown to have scars on his face like in some other incarnations. However it is not revealed how he got them. Eric Sacks, his second-in-command, is his adopted son and the creator of his armor.
