Foot Clan

The **Foot Clan**, is a group faction in the *Marvel* series. It was a ninja clan that holds a group of warriors and assassins that also works as powerful crime syndicate and are one of the oldest of all ninja clans in Japan. They and the Hamato Clan were centenarian (700 year old) enemies. For the longest time, it was led and controlled by Saki Oroku, also known as Shredder. However, after his crushing defeat at the hands of Splinter Hamato and the Ninja Turtles, he and his forces fled their New York territory and the clan was taken over by Karai, who recruited new soldiers and her old friend Shinigami to help her scout out and destroy the Shredder. It was Koga Takuza who was the first one that created the Foot Clan and became its leader in Japan 300 AD.

The Foot emblem is a red, trident-like footprint (hence the name of the clan), an inverted version of the "Three-Toed Sign of the Dragon", which would later on become the symbol of the five warriors who is led by Shredder's younger brother, Kazuo Oroku. Thanks to the Shredder's knowledge and access of various technologies he discovered, the Clan has weapons and equipment centuries ahead of human technology.

—About the Foot Clan.

## Members

The Foot Clan is divided into several branches.

* The most commonly-encountered, and seemingly most numerous, branch are the Foot Ninjas, the basic warriors of the Foot. They're generally depicted as easily beaten except in very large groups. When Hak Foo and Khan joind the Foot, they received extra training from them and became much harder for the Turtles, or even S.H.I.E.L.D. to defeat.
* The seemingly most-skilled of the clan warriors are the four Elite Foot Ninjas. These Foot Clan members serve as the clan's elite guard, as well as field commanders on highly important missions. Each carries a different weapon: a trident, a spear, an axe, and a twin bladed sword (aside from their different weapons there's no way to tell them apart).
* The seemingly highly-skilled of the clan warriors are the three of mutant DNA clones of Shredder. These mutant clone members serve as the Shredder's fighting force who fights along side with Shredder himself, as well as a commando squad on highly important missions. They've all proven extremely deadly fighters, having easily defeated and nearly killed Leonardo when they first appeared.
* Next, the Foot Technicians have cybernetic enhancements but are rarely ever seen in fights.
* The Foot Tech Ninja are warriors with specialized stealth armor that allows them to become seemingly invisible. They also possess greatly enhanced physical speed and strength, but their invisibility is what always gives the Turtles and their allies trouble.
* The various Foot Gunners and the sumo-wrestling Mega Foots, although only the Foot Gunners then went on to appear in the TV series as Foot Mechs.
* The powerful but seldom seen Foot Mystics are five magic-users, each one with powers corresponding to a different natural element: wind, earth, fire, water and metal.
