Super Shredder Theories

Well, we got to talking about Super Shredder for a short time in one thread, and I thought it would be interesting to discuss this. These are just what I think and I'm wondering what everyone else thought about the Super Shredder transformation. Specifically, why does his costume mutate?

Theory One:
We have no PROOF that Shredder, or Tokka or Rahzar, or even the Turtles or Splinter DRANK the ooze. The Turtles SAY he did, but they didn't actually see him drink it. Maybe it was absorbed through his skin. Also, the ooze was "accidentally" created, and even the scientists at TGRI weren't quite sure of all its capabilities. Maybe it could mutate inorganic along with organic materials. Or maybe it merged the two, turning Shredder into a quasi-cyborg.

Theory Two:
Also, I have the theory that that wasn't Shredder. It was one of his flunkies who had been mutated before the fight and brought along as a surprise perhaps. Hence why Super Shredder is "American". As Professor Perry said, the mutation "takes time... days!" If so, then why would the mutation to Super Shredder take only minutes? Easy, it had taken days, only it wasn't Shredder, but another guinea pig. They probably wanted to see if the mutagen affected humans the same way it did animals (making them stronger and more "highly evolved".)

So, why do you think his costume mutates?
