My No. 10 Animated Villain: SHREDDERSeries Appearance: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)
Voiced by: James Avery (played as Uncle Phil from "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air")
My Favorite Quotes:
- Your hairy, little friend knows me as "Oroko Saki", but you may call me, "The Shredder."
- Tonight, I dine on turtle soup.
What better way to start off my Top 10 Animated Villains List than with one of the most iconic comic book villains, the Shredder. Mostly, I liked Shredder from that cool armor he wears; however, I put him at the bottom of the list mainly because how he whines and complains so much in the series. Sure, he has masterful ninja skills and an IQ over 300 for his technological creations, but he's mainly portray as comedy relief than an overall badass like he supposed to be. I mean, he takes orders from a talking brain a.k.a. Krang! How humiliating is that?! Also, he used to be have been accompanied by his Foot Soldiers, which I thought they were pretty cool minions to have, but for most of the episodes, he's accompanied by his two bumbling imbecials, Bebop & Rocksteady.
One episode that shows the greatest humilation of Shredder is "Cowabunga Shredhead." In the beginning, Shredder is ordered by Krang to complete the holographic machine so that it could create a hologram of Mikey in order to infiltrate the Turtles' lair (...not sure how this will accomplish anything), but thanks to Bebop who inserted the floppy disk backwards, the machine goes berserk and zaps Shredder in the forehead. This strange phenomanon caused Shredder to strongly behave and act like Michelangelo as he says outrageous catch-phrases like "I hunga for cowabunga!"
Despite my complaints, the reason why Shredder is part of my Top 10 List is because if it wasn't for his popularity from the cartoons, we wouldn't see him featured in kick-ass video games and the live-action movies. For example, in TMNT II (NES or Arcade), Shredder was the final boss, not Krang, and not only can he whoop your ass with his ninja sword, but he can also summon clones and unleash lightning that can turn the players into little turtles, an instant KO hit.

Speaking of 87's Shredder, the Geki Kame ninja den (aka TMNT)'s Shredder was easy but that space laser guys were a pain in the ass

Ooooh, the 2000 version scares the crap out of me, at least before villan decay set in.

LOL! Gotta love ol' Shred-Head in the '87 cartoon. His insults were awesome as well.
Great job on the pic, dude!

Makes sense, unlike the canon shredders

You're right. Then again the canon shredders usually don't hug others.

The Shredder is awsome,even if he is very silly and more of a comic relief I prefer him over the new one!

He may have been only comedic relief in the cartoon, I'm sure you'll agree that out of all the Shredder designs, this is the best one.
This one had the best design, and the movie one had the best attitude.

Shredder was one of my favorite villains growing up and he still has one of the most badass designs ever! You did an awesome job with Shred-head here. He looks just like the show's version plus extra coolness.

well,the shredder from the 03 series was extremely dangerous,i'm not too fond of this shredder but still,cool picture.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, the Shredder from '03 Series is much more menacing than the '87's Shredder. However, I didn't favor much with the newer Shredder mostly because it was actually a brain-like alien inside an exo-suit. It's like the creators were trying to merge Shredder & Krang together. But anyway, thanks for the comment.

i doubt that cuz the utroms did exist in the comics which the 03 show is based on,but that is a nice way to put it,I never thought of it that way,maybe your're right.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh I have learned that Utroms do come from comics. There probably isn't any doubt where the inspiration for Krang comes from. Still, I find it ridiculous on how Shredder is actually an alien in disguise and not a human being, but then again, this is the show where mutated turtles dress up like ninjas so who am I to argue for bizarre cases such as this one.

its cool,beside while the 03 show is dark,i think it would'nt be right for shredder to be a true human,remember the episode when leo beheaded him? besides,it was peter laird's decision to make that change.
and the utrom is not the shredder,not the true one anyway,the utrom took on the guise of the true shredder,who is actually a demon in the 03 universe.

How's that dinner of turtle soup coming along, Shredder? We're still waiting.

I think the Shredder is the only comic book character that pulls off the (useless) body spike outfits.
