Nanaue, more commonly known as King Shark, is an interesting DC character often associated with the Suicide Squad.
However, his background used to be rather murky, so he’s made a ton of appearances in different ways.
Now, with The Suicide Squad movie out and Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League releasing in 2022, it’s easy to see how the two takes on the one character have interpreted his background and made him their own.
“With The Suicide Squad now out, it’s easy to draw comparisons between James Gunn’s King Shark and the upcoming SS: Kill The Justice League’s”
GAMERANT
With the release of the movie and the official Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League trailer, the differences between the two stand more than ever.
That obviously comes with the caveat that the movie is out and the full game is not, but there’s quite a few easily notable differences in terms of physical and personality.
PLEASE NOTE: The following has SPOILERS for the newly-release movie.

The Suicide Squad’s King Shark
In the new James Gunn movie, King Shark is perhaps best described as a loveable oaf with a twinge of sadness, serving more often than not as comical relief. He demonstrates his lack of intellect several times by pretending to read a book upside down, when he tries to eat Ratcatcher-2, and by his general lack of vocabulary, but as Amanda Waller puts it, he’s the strongest member on the team.
His strength is great, and the combination allows King Shark to play off Ratcatcher, Bloodsport, and others quite well. It’s even quite sad when his “friends” betray and attack him in the water tank explosion, as well as when members of the Suicide Squad have to leave him behind because he’s a shark.
