Unfortunately for Chondrakha , he did n’t make it clear to Waller that King Shark would be entering a dimension where her jurisdiction does n’t get to , leading her to assemble her supernatural Limbo Legion against him in an attempt to force the god into pass her favorite muscleman . While Chondrakha put up a competitiveness in his massive shark form , he ’s defeated whenWaller ’s secret teamcapture King Shark ’s mother - and Chondrakha ’s priestess - Kaikea .

fan have go out a semi - human version of King Shark ’s father before , when the grievous Kamo was capture by Waller inSuicide Squad vol . 4 # 25 . While that sort was powerful , its canonicity is now questionable , andSuicide Squad : King Sharktakes hurting to point out that this is Lord Chondrakha ’s rightful humanoid form , and the one with which he and Kaikea conceived their child . Fans ofThe Suicide Squadhad totake Waller ’s wordthat Nanaue was the Logos of a Shark God , but laughable readers get to see the real deal in all his glory , both as a mammoth , extremist - hefty shark capable of shoot hole in world , and as the more humanoid individual who shows the first sign of really wish for his Logos .
There are still secret to be solved regarding the Shark God ’s pot with Waller . The final page of the late issue shows her spiriting King Shark away as a child , his forefather crying at the retention .

For now , King Sharkfanswill have to be satisfied with seeing the Shark God in all the glory thatThe Suicide Squaddenied them , as DC take a shit it clear that as warm as Nanaue may be , Lord Chondrakha is a idol in the truest sense of the word .
