Shredder, whose real name is Oroku Saki, is the villain in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

No Heart was the nemesis of the Care Bears in their animated TV series, which began in 1985. In the original episodes, the villain was Professor Coldheart, but by 1986, the evil wizard No Heart and his sidekicks Beastly and Shreeky took over the job of trying to destroy the Care Bears.

In the 1960's series "Batman", Mr. Freeze appeared in several episodes, played by George Sanders, Otto Preminger and Eli Wallach. Mr. Freeze was a German/Austrian cryogenics expert who was involved in an accident with some of the chemicals, and thus had to wear a special suit at all times to survive. His weapon of choice was a gun that froze his victims.
