## Films

### *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows*

After Shredder escapes captivity by teleporting in the beginning of the movie, Krang teleported him to his dimension to tell Shredder about his plans for Earth. In particular, his transport device the Arc Capacitor was splintered,and its parts scattered across the Earth years ago that had the capability to make a black hole connecting his dimension to Earth once reassembled. Krang requested that Shredder gather them so that he would be able to invade Earth and rule the world. He also gave Shredder a purple ooze capable of mutating humans.

Once Baxter Stockman assembled the Arc Capacitor, Krang emerges and immediately began assembling his war machine the Technodrome however, Krang had no second thoughts about betraying Shredder, freezing him and locking him away with his collection of other defeated foes.

But the Ninja Turtles were able to intervene, confronting Krang aboard the still-assembling Technodrome, fighting him and his android body in the process. They locate the beacon around which the Technodrome is assembling and hurl it back through the portal, taking Krang and the rest of the Technodrome with it while while April, Casey, and Vern helped reverse the Technodrome's components to return to Krang's dimension. Defeated and buried under his android, Krang swore that he would eventually return, stronger than before.

## Personality

As it turns out, Krang is sadistic, manipulative, greedy, cruel, and overall, evil, which is why Krang deliberately called the Earth his toy, and destruction as playtime. This means Krang has so much fun wiping out entire species and destroying planets by using is deadly war machine, the Technodrome.
