―King Shark to Black Manta[src]

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

"*Nanaue's the strongest member of your team. You need him to get into Jotunheim.*"
―Amanda Waller[src]
**Divine Empowerment**: Nanaue is a demigod shark humanoid. He has the physical attributes of a human, such as speech and being bipedal, as well as a shark, such as superhuman physicality and aquatic respiration.

* **Superhuman Strength**: Nanaue is superhumanly strong. He was able to tear a man vertically in half with no visible effort. His incredible strength extends to his feet as well, allowing him to jump great heights without much effort.
* **Superhuman Durability**: Nanaue's body is much hardier and more resistant to conventional forms of physical injury than the body of a human. He can withstand falls from great heights, exposure to extremes in both temperature and pressure, high caliber bullets, and tremendous impact forces without sustaining injury.
* **Superhuman Stamina**: Nanaue's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a human. As a result, his muscles produce far fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to those of humans.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor**: Despite his body's great resistance, Nanaue can sustain physical injury. If injured, his metabolism enables him to regenerate damaged bodily tissue quicker and more extensively than an ordinary human being is capable of.
* **Aquatic Respiration**: Due to his shark physiology, King Shark possess gills as well as lungs, enabling him to breathe both water and air.
* **Fangs**: Nanaue has the hundreds of sharp teeth of a shark. They are very strong and can easily tear through flesh and bone, as he was seen easily eating a man.
* **Claws**: Nanaue has short yet sharp claws at the end of each of his meaty fingers, which he can sink into enemy flesh.

### Abilities

* **Master Swimmer**: King Shark is extremely adept in navigating through the seas.

### Weakness

* **Uncontrollable Rage**: King Shark is hot tempered and occasionally goes into a state of violent anger that he calls "frenzy". Such example is when he ravages the Trench creatures.
