Lord Shen

Lord Shen is Cobra's closest ally and Big Bad of Kung Fu Panda 2. Shen is also a major player in the Villain League due to his connections with Tai Lung and Cobra.

He has come a long way from the sickly albino peacock whose parents deemed him too weak and pitiful to deserve attention. Vowing to accomplish something so great that the world would never ignore him again, Shen relentlessly pursued his lust for power. Through his devious cleverness and the sheer force of his will, he has (after many years) created the most devastating weapon the world has ever known. Now, on the verge of his greatest triumph, he is about to find out that something stands in his way — something he thought he dealt with twenty years ago.[2]

Shen's nanny was once the Soothsayer, and she gave Shen the love the emperor was deprived of from his family.

PersonalityEdit
Shen is extremely smart, supremely lethal, and burns with ambition; it is a combustible combination.

His past has forged in him the notion that he's been wronged and that the world owes him something. He intends to do everything in his power to take it, which includes inventing a powerful weapon unlike anything the world has ever seen. Shen is intent on using this weapon to wipe out Kung Fu and take over China. That puts him on a collision course with Master Po and the Furious Five.[4]

Fighting StyleEdit
Even though Lord Shen is a skilled and accomplished Kung Fu fighter, he is more likely to use his cunning or his cannons than his physical prowess. He excels in sword combat and hides an armory of blades in his robes, which he can unleash in lightning speed. Shen also has a lethal-looking metal talon.

In battle, his tail becomes another limb, which he can shape and use to attack or defend. His "Funnel Cloud Attack" and "Feather Attack" are daunting and deadly. Shen's fighting style is both graceful and lethal.[5]

Clothing/OutfitEdit
In keeping with his state as an albino, Shen normally wears a long, white robe (which matches his plumage) with a black belt. Underneath his robe is where he keeps his arsenal of swords and other weapons.

Role in the series
Shen is set to return after his movie debut as a member of the Villain League, hired by Mirage to capture Kairi for Malefor's return.
