Carl Jenkins (Earth 1) - Smallville Extended Universe

Carl Jenkins is a rogue American Bounty Hunter who is working for The Foot Clan. He mutated with a Hammerhead Shark and became Bludgeon.

## Personality

Carl is a tough brute of a bounty hunter who can be ruthless and violent towards his enemies. However, Bludgeon is also a relatively calm individual, easily the most cool-headed and soft-spoken of Attuma's group, able to adapt to his disability rather than fighting against it. Since being blinded, he has embraced a more spiritual existence as evidenced by his Buddhist prayer beads and regular meditation. Though still deadly in battle, Bludgeon actively seeks inner peace in the rest of his life, and is periodically seen with a cryptic sincere-looking warm grin. Overall, he completely defies the stock stereotype of the bloodthirsty man-eating shark.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Human/Hammerhead Shark Hybrid Physiology:** Blending of DNA with that of a tiger shark gave Jenkins a unique, amphibious physiology granting him a number of superhuman attributes.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Bludgeon possesses great physical strength that varies greatly depending upon the amount of time he spends out of water. His strength is sufficient enough to engage Namor in direct physical combat. While wet, Bludgeon possesses sufficient superhuman strength to lift up to 75 tons. When dry, however, his strength is significantly less and can lift about 50 tons. The least amount of weight Bludgeon has been able to lift is about 40 tons, but only after being dry for an extended period of time.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** While on land, and wet, Bludgeon is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete.
	+ **Superhuman Swimming Speed:** While in water, Bludgeon is capable of swimming fast.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:** While wet, Bludgeon's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity. His musculature also generates far less fatigue toxins than the vast majority of Atlanteans, who all possess some level of superhuman stamina. He can exert himself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair him.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** While wet, Bludgeon's body is considerably harder and more resistant than the body of an ordinary human, or most Atlanteans for that matter. He is capable of withstanding the extreme temperature and pressures of the ocean floor, powerful impact forces, high caliber bullets, and falls from great heights without sustaining injury.
	+ **Superhuman Agility:** While wet, Bludgeon's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes:** While wet, his reaction time is enhanced to a level that is beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Despite his superhuman durability, it is possible to injure Bludgeon. However, like Atlanteans, he is capable of rapidly healing minor and moderate injuries faster than ordinary human beings, provided he is wet.
	+ **Aquatic Physiology:** Bludgeon's body is specially adapted for aquatic environments. His body is capable of withstanding cold temperatures and pressures that are found on the bottom of the ocean floor. He is also capable of breathing, speaking, seeing, and hearing underwater with perfect levels of clarity.

### Abilities
