 * Most superhuman Ninja traits are just myths created by the Ninjas themselves.

 * In the TMNT 2012 series; Splinter confirms that Samurai Armor was almost impossible to penetrate for a Ninja. However he says that Ninjas focused instead to ignore the armor entirely to attack the man inside of it.
 * Small projectile weapons highly ineffective at long ranges.
 * Ninja hordes are relatively easy to beat compared to an individual ninja
 * Some fictional Ninjas completely ignore stealth or camo; Bang Shishigami for example.
