Suicide Squad: Who is King Shark, his origin and role.

Rocksteady’s new Suicide Squad game has King Shark in the lineup, this article will be for gamers who want to learn more about the role of this shark-man.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was announced at the last DC FanDome. Harley Quinn returns, along with popular characters like Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark. The last name is probably the strangest member of the group. This left many fans wondering who this is and what you can expect from King Shark in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

King Shark

While characters like Captain Boomerang have humorous biographies of being hired and humiliated by an Australian toy company, King Shark’s origins are much simpler. King Shark, also known as Nanaue, is the son of Shark God.

In Book New 52, ​​King Shark’s appearance is changed to resemble a hammerhead fish. Since Rocksteady chose the Great White as King Shark’s form, we can assume this is the character’s original appearance. King Shark is shark man. Unlike other DC villains, King Shark has never been a mutant or a shapeshifter. However, some believed he was mutated until he was confirmed to be the son of Shark God in the Aquaman series.

The origin of King Shark’s crimes mainly came from his father’s direct orders. He kills the priests of the Order of the Thorny Crown at the behest of Shark God, but is captured and tortured for some time after Aquaman defeats him in the series. At other times, King Shark is not so malicious when always keeping the peace with the Kingdom of Atlantis. As a result, Suicide Squad leader Amada Waller initially recruited King Shark to specialize in underwater missions.

The skin possesses shark skin to protect against water pressure, King Shark also possesses the ability to restore limbs and other body parts lost after combat. David Ayer, the director of Suicide Squad, said that King Shark was originally part of the film’s intended lineup but was replaced with Killer Croc by a new character with more practical moves. However, King Shark is confirmed to be in the James Gunn reboot as well as Rocksteady’s new game in the Arkham universe.

What can fans expect in the game?

In the game, WWE’s Nuufolau Joel Seano, or Samoa Joe, will voice King Shark. Surely King Shark will lean towards sweeping the battlefield, different from other characters in Suicide Squad. However, it is not clear how the character’s strength and skills change when underwater.

Despite possessing a scary body, King Shark also has weaknesses. Compared to loud-mouthed characters like Captain Boomerang or anti-heroes like Harley Quinn, the Suicide Squad game trailer shows that King Shark is a pacifist who accepts as an “interpreter” between Captain Boomerang and Deadshot, in when only gently blaming teammates for affecting the common mission.

King Shark also seems to admire “Superman” in the Suicide Squad trailer. Suicide Squad will be tasked with defeating Superman, as well as the other members of the Justice League. Fans can expect a King Shark to be bold but good-natured in Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad lineup. This will be an opportunity for the character to shine in a main DC project.
