List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters
In the 2003 cartoon, Shredder (voiced by Scottie Ray) is actually several individuals. The identity first belonged to a massive demon who terrorized ancient Japan and was confronted by the Five Dragons, a group of legendary warriors that included Oroku Saki. Unlike his comrades, Saki had evil ambitions, and accepted the demon's offer to possess his soul and share its power with him. This forced his former comrades to learn mystic arts in order to defeat and imprison him; both his identities would subsequently be adopted by an Utrom criminal named Ch'rell. Ch'rell would be the first Shredder faced by the Ninja Turtles, who became unwittingly involved in his war with the rest of his race, whose previous allies included Hamato Yoshi, whom Shredder murdered. After a lengthy conflict-and several apparent demises-Ch'rell was captured and banished to the ice asteroid Mor Gal Tal. His adopted daughter Karai then assumed the mantle and his antagonism with the Turtles for a time, until the original Shredder returned and sought to conquer the world. Following his defeat, Karai apparently abandoned the title of Shredder, but Ch'rell left another "hair"-a virtual backup of his memories and personality. After absorbing the futuristic computer virus Viral, this backup became the Cyber Shredder, a digital monster who sought to escape into the real world. He eventually succeeded, but was defeated-and then deleted-by the Turtles and their allies. Ch'rell made one final attempt to destroy the Turtles after being brought back to Earth by his counterpart from the 1987 series, who sought his help in destroying both their respective teams of Turtles. However, Ch'rell soon took control of his resources, including the dimension-hopping Technodrome, and set out to annihilate all Turtles. He did so by trying to destroy the original Mirage Comics Turtles, which would have destroyed all their counterparts throughout the multiverse-and the multiverse itself. The original 1987 and 2003 Turtles joined forces against him along with 1987 Shredder, Karai, Krang, and 2003 Splinter, and he was later banished to some unknown corner of the multiverse or destroyed by the stupidity of Bebop and Rocksteady.
