## Biography

### Rapid Mutation

Torpedo discovered the Two-headed Shark then told Striped fin to tell Sharky about it. After Sharky arrived, Torpedo followed him into the cave where he saved Sharky from being crunched by the Two-headed shark. He then charged into the creature's gills only for it to slap him with it's tail, presumably knocking him unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he found that the Two-headed shark was crushed by a few rocks. Striped fin then came in with a pre-recorded message by Mecha Sharky, setting Sharky on a mission. Hours later, he appeared at the chemical plant and attacked Mecha Sharky, distracting him so Striped fin could bite him. They both defeated Mecha Sharky only to see Sharky fighting the Super mutated Octo Shark. They watched Sharky throw barrels into the creature's mouth which give Striped fin an idea and told Torpedo to pass the gun in Mecha Sharky's possession. He slapped Mecha Sharky's gun to Striped fin and he fired it, killing the Octo Shark.

### Speed

Torpedo gets his name from his ability to swim very fast. He can easily catch up to a speed boat and can catch some of the fastest fish, like tuna. Torpedo can also use his speed as a weapon by ramming into objects at highspeed, however, he does typical do this as it will hurt him really bad. It is hard to attack Torpedo due to the fact he could easily swim away or dodge the attacks.

### Leaps

Using his aforementioned speed, Torpedo can leap very high out of the water. He can leap to heights of about 30 feet. If opponents are out of the water, Torpedo can just leap out of the water to attack them.

### Screw attack

Instead of ramming into objects, Torpedo performs the 'screw attack' where he basically spins around about his longitudinal axis very fast at high speeds. This make him act like a screw hence that name. Using this attack he can easily bore through fragile objects and opponents.

### Tail whip

Like Sharky, Torpedo can perform the 'tail whip'. Torpedo's tail whip is more powerful than Sharky because of his size and strength.

## Personality

Torpedo is more mature and serious than Sharky and is often the voice of reason. Torpedo is heroic as he will also defend Sharky and Striped fin if they are in a situation they can handle themselves and he will put his life on line to protect his friends like what happened with the Two headed Shark. Torpedo is almost fearless when it comes to any situation. Torpedo is not a big fan Sharky's vigilantism, believing it will cause him great harm one day. He also doesn't like it when Sharky goes solo as anything could happen to him and wouldn't be there to help him.

Torpedo is not all serious and no fun, he likes to show off and boast about his speed. He also like to do acrobatic tricks when swimming around. Torpedo also like to race and go hunting, especially if it's fast prey.

## Relationships

### Sharky Sharptooth

Sharky is Torpedo's best friend, and is like a younger brother to him. Sharky looks up to Torpedo and models his behavior off him. Sharky will always ask Torpedo to do something that he couldn't do on his own. Sharky also really trusts him due to his reliability. However, they sometimes are in disagreement when it comes to a practically dangerous situation. Torpedo believes Sharky can be too reckless sometimes and may not be able to see it himself. Sharky enjoys it when they are hunting and explore with each other or racing each other.

### Striped fin Sharptooth

Torpedo had a similar imprint on Striped fin as he does on Sharky. Torpedo is like a eldest brother to him. Torpedo will take care of Striped fin when Sharky is away. Torpedo is slight more defensive of Striped fin than Sharky due to him being more vulnerable.

### Mecha Sharky

Torpedo despises Mecha Sharky as much as Sharky does. Mecha Sharky is constantly putting Sharky in deadly situations which Torpedo already doesn't like. Mecha Sharky has all the bad parts of Sharky's personality and is somehow even worse which irritates Torpedo. Torpedo wishes that Sharky could get rid of Mecha Sharky once and for all.
