What was Shredder's greatest weakness?

*Nickokapo* · 11-20-2002, 02:46 AM

Beats me

I'm guessing it was his poor skill at selecting good mutants...bebop & rocksteady messed his plans up lots of times.

Shredhead has weak places,that's for sure. But we all do,don't we

I guess he was wrong when he decided to open the pizzeria. He would never catch turtles using pizza

I believe his weakness is his hellbent drive for great power tied in with his revenge. Revenge runs in a vicious circle once it starts (making one forget about everything else) and... that became the death of him (in the comic).

His obsession with distroing the turtles. Just pick up and move to another city, I dought the guys would bother following you

What can I say? The dude has issues & unresolved conflicts.

*Deathknight* · 11-20-2002, 04:29 PM

In my opinion it's definite getting revenge on the turtles. He always wastes time trying to get revenge when he could be getting the technodrome free or letting someone else do it when it would be easy.

**Karpo_007** · 11-20-2002, 04:32 PM

After the first season, he wasn't that dangerous anmore. I can't thin of any particular weaknes. Or maybe the need of Revenge, of course he always said somethin about Ninja's honor...

I'd say Himself after the first excellently violent season, where
he had class and dignity, unlike the later eps, where he turned
into a crybaby bent on revenge against the turtles.

**azure turtle** · 11-20-2002, 05:15 PM

Yep... I think Shredder's desire for revenge was his greatest weakness.

You got that right. After the first season he became a Clown. The whole show changed too.

**Nturtle** · 11-20-2002, 06:36 PM

yup remember in the big blow out, he gets defeated because of his blind need for revenge

*Eye of Sarnath* · 11-20-2002, 06:45 PM

If I remember correctly, most episodes were about either:
a) Getting power for the Technodrome
b) Getting revenge on the Turtles/Splinter/April (take your pick

)
c) Both of the above

Well hes a mamas boy and his brothers a cop, so those are 2 big weakness's

*Jephael* · 11-20-2002, 08:14 PM

Naw, he wasn't a Mama's boy. He was annoyed with the idea of seeing her again.

BEBOP: "Aren't you worried about your mother, Boss?"
SHREDDER: "No, I'm worried about the solar mirror!"

That ep made me wonder whatever became of Shredder's father.
