Shen
Lord Shen (voiced by Gary Oldman, silent role in Kung Fu Panda 4) is a leucisticIndian peacock and the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 2. He was originally the heir to the throne of Gongmen City who wanted more than only control over the city. Growing up, he became obsessed with weaponizing gunpowder. His parents, deeply concerned about his obsession, visited the Soothsayer, who prophesied that if he continued too far down this path, he would be defeated by "a warrior of black and white". Shen, eavesdropping on this conversation, deduced that the warrior was a panda. Instead of reflecting on his obsession, he led his parents’ wolf guards into a massacre against the giant panda population to avert the prophecy, which resulted in Po being sent to Mr. Ping to survive. Shen’s father exiled him from the city but Shen, feeling betrayed, warned that he would return one day and China would bow before him.
