Yet another Shredder thread.

I've noticed how over the years Shredder's background has changed radically.

In the Mirage comics, Hamato Yoshi killed Oruko Nagi trying to protect Tang Shen. Oruko Saki vowed revenge for the death of Nagi, his older brother. The Foot Clan took Saki under their wing and trained him in the art of ninjitsu. Saki's training was, as Splinter would say, tainted by the posion of hatred, hatred for Hamato Yoshi. After rising to the ranks of the leader, Saki became a samurai known as The Shredder. He then forefilled his vow by murdering both Yoshi and Shen. The Shredder in the films/NM is loosly based on this version of Shredder.

In the original animated series, Shredder isn't the samurai bent on a personal vendeta he is in the comics. In the old toon, Oruko Saki was but a student of Hamato Yoshi, the leader of the Foot Clan. Desiring his teacher's position, Saki set Yoshi up, resulting him in being banished from the Foot Clan. Oruko Saki became not only the new leader of the Foot Clan, but an evil samurai called The Shredder, pretty much bent on taking over the world.

From what I understand in the new series of Ninja Turtles, Shredder is not human, but a Utrom samurai (Note to self, suffer from amnesia).
