'''King Shark''' is a [[supervillain]] appearing in [[comic book]]s published by [[DC Comics]]. The character, also known as '''[[Nanaue]]''', was created by writer [[Karl Kesel]] and artist [[Tom Grummett]]. King Shark's first key appearance was in ''[[Superboy (comic book)|Superboy]]'' #0 (October 1994) as a cameo before making his first full appearance in ''Superboy'' #9 (November 1994).<ref name=Guide>{{cite book |last1=Cowsill |first1=Alan |last2=Irvine |first2=Alex |last3=Korte |first3=Steve |last4=Manning |first4=Matt |last5=Wiacek |first5=Win |last6=Wilson |first6=Sven |title=The DC Comics Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Characters of the DC Universe |date=2016 |publisher=DK mPublishing |isbn=978-1-4654-5357-0 |page=169}}</ref> The character serves as an adversary to [[Aquaman]], [[Flash (Barry Allen)|Flash]], [[Batman]], and [[Superboy (Kon-El)|Superboy]].

The character has been adapted from the comics into various forms of media, including television series, feature films, and video games. King Shark made his live-action debut in the television series ''[[The Flash (2014 TV series)|The Flash]]'', voiced by [[David Hayter]] while [[Dan Payne]] portrayed his human form. In the [[DC Extended Universe]], King Shark was voiced by actor [[Sylvester Stallone]] and [[motion capture]]d by [[Steve Agee]] in the film ''[[The Suicide Squad (film)|The Suicide Squad]]'' (2021).

==Fictional character biography==
Born in [[Hawaii]], '''Nanaue''' is a [[humanoid]] [[shark]]. His father is "The King of All Sharks"&mdash;also known as the Shark God.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Greenberger |first1=Robert |last2=Pasko |first2=Martin |title=The Essential Superman Encyclopedia |date=2010 |publisher=Del Rey |isbn=978-0-345-50108-0 |page=163}}</ref> Originally there were some doubts surrounding his origins, as other characters, such as special agent Sam Makoa, dismissed his origins as superstition and referred to him as a "savage [[Metahuman|mutation]]" and it was also implied that he was one of the "Wild Men", evolved animals based on those in ''[[Kamandi|Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth]]'', but the now-ended ''[[Aquaman#Arthur Joseph Curry|Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis]]'' series put an end to the controversy by firmly establishing him as the Shark God's son.

King Shark was responsible for a number of missing persons several years before Superboy arrived in Hawaii. Sam Makoa was responsible for bringing him in and bore the scars to prove it. King Shark is freed by the Silicon Dragons, who plan on hiring him.<ref>''Superboy'' (vol. 4) #0 (October 1994)</ref> Nanaue is not interested, and kills his liberators before heading to his mother's house. His mother allows him to bite her right arm off to feed. Superboy managed to take him down with his heat vision.<ref>''Superboy'' Vol 4 #9 (November 1994)</ref> When Superboy and Makoa were assigned to the [[Suicide Squad]] to destroy the Dragons, Nanaue was forced to help. An explosive belt was strapped to his waist, set to detonate if anything happened to Makoa. Other members of the Squad included [[Knockout (DC Comics)|Knockout]] and Squad veterans [[Deadshot]] and [[Captain Boomerang]].<ref>''Superboy'' Vol 4 #13-15 (March-May 1995)</ref>

Nanaue was a crazed fighting machine, shredding legions of the Dragons (and killing Sidearm too, when he betrays the team). Despite the belt detonating, King Shark survived the blast and the destruction of the lair.

After a research team sent to investigate the lair's remains went missing, King Shark was initially suspected, but it turned out to be [[Black Manta]].<ref>''Superboy'' Vol 4 #20 (October 1995)</ref> King Shark fought Superboy, but he was defeated and driven out to sea.<ref>''Superboy'' (vol. 4) #32 (October 1996)</ref> 

King Shark later turned up in the Wild Lands and fought Superboy and his allies. After a fierce battle, he was assumed killed, but no body was ever recovered.

He joined [[Manchester Black]]'s Legion of Villains in the "Ending Battle".<ref>''The Adventures of Superman'' #608 (November 2002)</ref> He later turned up in [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]] and attacked [[Jimmy Olsen]]. Superman quickly took him down, knocking most of his teeth out (though they grew back). In all of his previous appearances he rarely spoke, but during this issue he was very verbose (although that may be because of Black's influence). He also was smaller and a long way from the water.

King Shark also made an appearance during the [[Joker (character)|Joker]]'s ''[[Last Laugh (comics)|Last Laugh]]'' riot with [[Orca (DC Comics)|Orca]].

King Shark is recruited into [[Alexander Luthor Jr.|Alexander Luthor]]'s Secret Society of Super Villains and is one of the many sent to attack [[Sub Diego]]. During the battle he kills [[Neptune Perkins]].

Nanaue reappears [[One Year Later|one year]] after the ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', bearing a scar from a previous encounter with Aquaman. He is less violent and more talkative than in previous appearances. His origin has been definitely given as him being the son of the Shark God, due to the new Aquaman book being more magic-based than previous incarnations.<ref>''Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis'' #40 (May 2006)</ref> He is a major character in the series, acting as an unwilling caretaker for [[Aquaman#Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis|Arthur Joseph Curry]]. Saved from a gang of marauders by the young man, he brought Curry to the mysterious [[Dweller in the Depths]] (the mutated, for unknown reasons, Aquaman) who gave him the role of assisting the ''new Aquaman'' in filling his role. Albeit feigning disrespect, and often disappearing for a while, King Shark accepted, sharing his knowledge of the way of sea with his young savior. It is later revealed in a flashback sequence that he was asked to do so by his father: 
<blockquote>The currents of destiny bend and twist around that young man. For good or ill, he will shape the coming oceanscape. You will protect him. You will be my agent in his camp. Close enough to guard against others who seek to control him. And close enough, when I decide the time is ripe... ... to strike, and kill him without warning.</blockquote>

The following arc tells the first meeting between the original Aquaman and King Shark, which occurred several years ago. It took place in Reef's End, a little border town in the Coral Sea, distant from Atlantis. Orin — who was still the King of Atlantis at this time — fought King Shark because he murdered a priest of the Order of the Thorny Crown. King Shark had previously killed a number of members of this group, obeying his father's will. The Order was associated with an old prophecy:

<blockquote>When thorned crown lies shattered, she comes. Born of coral, of life-in-death, of long prayer. Shake the sea floor with her power, shall she, shake the destiny of all beneath the waves...</blockquote>

The Shark God believed that if the Order was destroyed, that would trigger the prophecy, birthing some great power in the process. However, King Shark was defeated by Aquaman before completing his father's goal. He then was imprisoned by priests of the Thorny Crown for three years before escaping; Nanaue mentions that he was tortured during his captivity.

Following the ''[[Final Crisis]]'', King Shark's jaw is broken after being cleaved wide open and later his left arm is ripped off his body during battle, but later grew back.<ref>''Secret Six'' TPB 1: ''Unhinged''</ref>

King Shark is among Superboy's villains brought by [[Krypto]] to a hill near the [[Smallville (comics)|Smallville]] high school. However, he is either unconscious or stunned at the time.<ref>''Adventure Comics'' (vol. 2) #3 (December 2009)</ref>

Most recently, he has joined the Secret Six<ref>''Secret Six'' (vol. 3) #21 (July 2010)</ref> as a brawler. His tenure with the Six proves to be short-lived, as the team is soon captured by a large group of superheroes during a failed mission in [[Gotham City]]. King Shark manages to briefly overpower his old foe Superboy during the battle, but is ultimately pummeled into unconsciousness by [[Supergirl (Kara Zor-El)|Supergirl]].<ref>''Secret Six'' (vol. 3) #36 (October 2011)</ref>

===The New 52 - Infinite Frontier ===
[[File:King Shark Aquaman Vol 8 32.png|right|thumb|King Shark on the cover of ''Aquaman'' vol. 8, #32 (March 2018). Art by [[Stjepan Šejić]].]]
In September 2011, DC Comics rebooted its fictional continuity in an initiative called "[[The New 52]]". In this new timeline, King Shark now resembles a humanoid [[hammerhead shark]]. He was tortured and forced into the [[Suicide Squad]] by [[Amanda Waller]].<ref>''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 4) #1 (November 2011)</ref> When he came to the Suicide Squad having to comply with Amanda Waller's demands, King Shark ended up eating his teammate Yo-Yo (it is later revealed that Yo-Yo survived).<ref>''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 4) #5 (March 2012). DC Comics.</ref> During the 2013 "[[Forever Evil]]" storyline, King Shark is among the villains that the [[Crime Syndicate of America|Crime Syndicate]] recruited to join the [[Secret Society of Super Villains]].<ref>''[[Forever Evil]]'' #1 (November 2013). DC Comics.</ref>

In 2016, DC Comics implemented another relaunch of its books called "[[DC Rebirth]]" which restored its continuity to a form much as it was prior to "The New 52". King Shark is back in his great white shark appearance. King Shark began serving N.E.M.O under [[Black Manta]]. He began terrorizing [[San Francisco]] before being subdued by the [[Teen Titans]]. He also appears as one of the many villains attempting to kill Batman to halt Two-Face's data breach, attacking Batman on a train alongside [[Amygdala (character)|Amygdala]] and [[Killer Croc]].<ref>''All-Star Batman'' #2. DC Comics.</ref> After leaving the organization, King Shark attempted to live a more peaceful life, only to be captured by the Markovian military under allegations of cannibalizing a Markovian general. [[Wonder Woman]] soon arrived, doubting that he committed the crime, and used the Lasso of Truth on him to prove his innocence. She then left him in the hands of [[Aquaman]], hoping to start anew in Atlantis.<ref>''Wonder Woman'' (vol. 5) Annual #1 (May 2017). DC Comics.</ref>

Following Aquaman's usurpation of the throne, King Shark returns as a crime lord of the Ninth Tride with plans to expand his empire to more regions of Atlantis. He has his minions capture Mera to use as a bargaining chip and has a run-in with the still alive Aquaman. He convinces King Shark to work with him at stopping King Rath's murderous ambitions on the condition that the Ninth Tride would receive better treatment by the new monarch. As a show of good faith, King Shark gives Mera back to Arthur. With their combined forces, they were able to free Atlantis from the Crown of Thorns.<ref>''Aquaman'' (vol. 8) #33 (February 2018). DC Comics.</ref>

===Dawn of DC===
During the "[[Titans: Beast World]]" storyline, King Shark is exposed to [[Beast Boy]]'s spores and temporarily transformed into a [[tiger]] hybrid.<ref>''Titans: Beast World - Atlantis'' #1. DC Comics.</ref>

==Powers and abilities==
Nanaue's augmented flesh provides protection against underwater pressures and physical attacks. His shark-like physiology includes natural weapons, as well as [[gills]] that allows him to breathe in the water. He can swim at great speeds, regrow lost bodily tissues, or withstand cold temperatures. Nanaue has enhanced strength, stamina, and senses. King Shark was able to sense or call out his shark "cousins" for assistance, although he cannot actually control them, especially when they are filled with [[Feeding frenzy|blood frenzy]]. His mystical nature means that his bite could even pierce the skin of Kryptonians.<ref>''Team Superman Secret Files and Origins'' Vol 1 (May 1998). DC Comics.</ref>

==Other versions==
An alternate reality variant of King Shark appears in the ''[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]'' tie-in ''[[Deadman and the Flying Graysons]]''. This version works as a [[Strongman (circus)|strongman]] at Haley's Circus before he is killed during an [[Amazons (DC Comics)|Amazon]] attack.<ref>''[[Deadman and the Flying Graysons|Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons]]'' #1 (June 2011)</ref><ref>''[[Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons]]'' #2 (July 2011).
