Did anyone else feel Super Shredder was a little unnecessary

Kind of not really but sort of yes, in theory I'm not against him getting more powerful, raising the stakes and all that. That said however...

The design is laughably ugly, the ability to shoot out spikes from the hands is unintentionally(?) hilarious and his reasons for wanting the mutation basically came out of nowhere. He got a few nerve pinches that weren't initially given a second thought within the episode it happened, and he's crippled beyond normal treatment? The hell?
