Shrdder's origin
 

I was looking at X-Men's Silver Samurai and the Daredevil's arch-villian, the Claw. And, i was wondering if Shredder was originated from any of these two characters. Or was there a Daredevil character called "Grate Man"?

Shrdder?

Actually, Kevin Eastman explained in the "Behind the Shells" video that when they were coming up with ideas for the characters, he had slid his arm into a rectangular cheese grater, which is where they came up with the idea for Shedder's gaunlets.

Personally, I think the creators of the original toon had Darth Vader in mind when they were making that version of Shredder...

I thought movie Shredder was more Vader-ish than old cartoon Shredder.

Oh really?

:lol:

Yes, I already saw that :lol: now read this movie quote:

Also, did you ever notice the very deep voice... hmmm... :lol:

I'm guessing that the influence for Shredder's and Vader's helmets comes from Japan.

lol, i never would of thought of it like that but maybe he is!

WOW! lol, I remember watching the first movie and being like "wow, sounds a lot like Vader!"

Right but this time he even looks more like Vader.

Mmmm I wonder who would win in a fight?

Lightsaber can cut trough Almost anything, Shredder wouldn't stand a chance... :lol:

Actually, if we can draw parallels between the force and chi. Then Shredder can use his Ninja stealth skills to not be sensed by Vader's Jedi ability to sense Shredder's presense.(Perhaps the "Jin" Kuji-In skill would help) Then all Shredder has to do is sneak up behind Vader and jam his gauntlet claws into Vader's respirator.
Alternately, Shredder can use his Taijutsu skills to disarm Vader thus denying him the Lightsaber that you mentioned. Then Shredder would have the definate advantage.
So you see It's Vader who wouldn't stand a chance.

But Vader isn't quite as fast and agile as Shredder... ;)

So can Shredders claw......

a fight between shredder and darth well cant you tell who would win
its so clear and easy to tell the winner would be


ME

Atleast the idea of those two duking it out makes better sense than Splinter and Professor Xavier.

Shredder is way cuter than Vader...... IMHO....

---delete this

I'm jsut guessing that IMHO means "in my humble opinion." while I know IMO means "In my opinion." 8)

Actually I always thought the Shredder was based on Dark Helmet. Well maybe that was the 80's Shredder I was thinking about. :D

IMHO = in my humble opinion indeed, IMO = in my opinion, though you are really in trouble when you start using those abbreviations in conversation... :)

You know, I was thinking about it, and really , i think Shredder's helmet is based on samurai's ancient helmets, and Vader 's may also have been cause it just looks way coole than a plain, say, WWII helmet, so though they may have same origin, I don't really think there is much conection.
I think Shredder would loose in a fight, as much as I adore tha guy and hate to say it, cause Vader just has more technical powers than the comic book/movie shredder,
HOWEVER!
I think the cartoon Shreddert would be an equal advesary to Vader, so it's harder to tell since they both have superior techni-stuff.

I always thought he kinda looked like Silver Samurai

yeah....now that GK brings silver samurai up he does look like ol' silver
