## Biography

In "Gotham's Hottest Hotties", Tabitha and King Shark had an ultrasound done and learned they were expecting 9 babies.

In "Icons Only", Tabitha went into labor after drinking a labor-inducing soup while in the audience of a magic show in Las Vegas. As her water broke, Tabitha volunteered to go on stage. The magician helped deliver the babies while King Shark's close friends Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy arrived just in time to witness the whole thing. The first eight were born without a hitch but the 9th baby got stuck momentarily and was not breathing after getting born. However, the magician stated rubbing his back and he was revived, coughing out a card which had gotten stuck in his throat.

With everybody happy, King's close friend Clayface revealed himself to be present and gifted all the babies front-row tickets to his upcoming show. Going against ancient shark tradition, King Shark then asked Harley and Ivy to be the kids' godmothers which they quickly accepted. Tabitha then revealed she was going back under the sea although would not completely rob King Shark of his chance to co-parent as she was only taking the first born with her, leaving the rest to be raised by King Shark. Later, King Shark posted pictures of the babies on *Waynestagram*.

*❝ I really though I could be a single working dad like one of those rom-coms where it's challenging at first, but at the end of a fun montage, you balance it all. ❞*
— King Shark

In "Metamorphosis" King Shark came back to his work at the Legion of Doom after his paternity leave, bringing his children with him in the fountain at the front. When a man threw a coin in the fountain for a wish, one of the babies jumped out, biting off his hand. An anxious King Shark came to help them, but they latched on to security guard Jim Gordon, sucking on his fingers and making them bleed, although he was only charmed. King confided his struggles with being a single dad in Gordon who encouraged him and vowed to help him.

Gordon showed King how everything needed to take care of the children could be found in the office, showing him how the copier could be used for white noice as well as producing "precious memories" in the form of prints. He then showed the kids "gory crime-scene photos" and gave them a bath in the bathroom sinks. At the end of the day, King Shark thanked Gordon for his help, and he showed him to put them to sleep in their tanks giving them a tiny amount of whiskey from sucking his finger. One of the children's naps was interrupted however, when Batgirl arrived finding it was sleeping with Nightwing's tracker in its fins, making it wake and stat to cry when she took it.

Later, Tefé Holland used their power to connect to The Red to control the sharks, making them see red and jumping out of their tanks in order to aid in the fight against Giant Jon. They jumped into his giant mouth, swimming through his body until entering his stomach. There, they killed him by eating and biting at his organs from the inside.

In "The Most Culturally Impactful Film Franchise of All Time" One of the babies was briefly seen on the Legion of Doom security footage as one of them had found Gordon's gun and was using it as a pacifier, eventually accidentally shooting it towards the camera. Later, Harley and Ivy time traveled to a post-apocalyptic future where they met one of the shark kids as an adult who went by the name "King Baby". He was presented as part of the rebellion fighting alongside Harley and Ivy's future daughter Neytiri against the evil dictator Robin. He explained he was the last of "shark-man-kind", confirming his other siblings had died.

After working initially working alongside Neytiri as she stabbed Harley and Ivy in the back, delivering them to Robin to be frozen and kept as a trophy by him, King Baby had a change of heart and helped them escape by biting through the cables connecting technology holding them hostage and then fixing the Time Sphere which had gotten damaged. As Harley and Ivy entered the Time Sphere, King Baby explained that he believed they could go back and change the future for the better. Harley asked him to come with them, but he opted to stay, instead hoping to wake up to a better tomorrow and asked to kiss his baby self on the forehead next time they saw him.

In "Killer's Block" the children were strapped to King Shark's chest as he fled the Hall of Doom building which was being blown up by Lex Luthor's "Earth Saver".
