touch : King Shark Reveals the ' Human ' Form of Nanaue ’s Father
InSuicide Squad : King Shark # 8from Tim Seeley , Scott Kolins , John Kalisz , and Wes Abbott , King Shark faces off against the Limbo Legion . By far the most threatening enemy is a being known as Pigeon - a former Z - list villain obsessed with defacing public monuments , who it release out is actually agod - killing teras tasked with ruin anything holy . She first assault Nanaue , siphoning off his smell , but is then attacked by his Shark God father . Meanwhile , King Shark fight down the rest of the Legion - Black Bison , Etrigan , and Gentleman Ghost . But while King Shark is generally treat as a fast - healing , superstrong brawler , he shocks everyone when he ’s able to pick up the aeriform Gentleman Ghost and eat him whole , squall him a"spooky yum yum . "
Gentleman Ghost is a supernatural villain who can phase out of sync with world . While this ability is impressive , ithasbeen defeat before , but always by extreme way . Black Manta latterly used bleeding - edge technologyto hit Gentleman Ghost , while Batman had to trust on enchanted gauntlets from John Constantine . In demarcation , King Shark does n’t practice any extraneous magic , technical school , or even planning - he just intuit that he ’ll be able to take in Gentleman Ghost .
While Nanaue theorize his young wraith - eating ability is possible because Pigeon siphoned off some of his spirit , lead him hungry for more , this likely is n’t the whole story . Suicide Squad : King Sharkhas explored the fact that Nanaue is officially a demigod , only rejecting his line of descent due to his hate of his father . Unlike other animal - themed villains like Killer Croc or Orca , King Shark is a totemic shape of orphic mind , and his power to consume Gentleman Ghost proves that while he chooses not to pull in on it , he clearly has another level of divine big businessman he ’s yet to full pink into . The Shark God himself is capable of strong-arm and mystic fire , as well as shapeshifting , work aquatic biography , and even tear holes in realness with his tooth , so the ability to literally eat a ghost is likely only the top of the iceberg lettuce of whatKing Shark could do if he ever really tried . It ’s especially appropriate that even his more magic - based mogul take such a visceral form .
Whether with theSuicide Squad or the Secret Six , King Shark fills the role of unthinking brawn , displume apart foe and bring around rapidly from harm . But his ability to catch and consume a supernatural being teases a whole young reach of powers waiting just below the surface . Nanaue is the definition of untapped potential , and the casual way in which he inherently understand how to bypass Gentleman Ghost ’s supernatural powers show he could become far more godlike in the future tense . Sadly , asSuicide Squad : King Sharkends with the Shark God patently dying at Pigeon ’s hands , it seems that time may come rather rather than later , asKing Sharkis now in bank line for a idol - level inheritance .
