For example, it would be crazy to have Shredder suddenly flying by his own power, because in the inner logic of this series, normal humans don't fly unless wearing devices for that or having been mutated. Therefore, we aren't discussing general logic, we are discussing the series' inner logic. I know dude, but it's a MUTANT snake, that's it, Rahzar shoots spikes for no apparent reason, Sir Malachi can cast illusions for no apparent reason, so why are we discussing Karai's snake form and abilities? That's the beauty of having mutant characters, you don't have to explain it all, they're mutants. Karai now has snake-head hands, spits and have shape shifting abilities, why? Because the producers wanted so. XD

Btw, if I'm not mistaken, I think the X-Men were created for that reason, they didn't want to create new origin stories for all those fantastic powers, tell the people those are MUTANT powers and they'll deal with it.
