QUOTE
”I am wary of allowing you to transcribe me. I witnessed the consequences delivered upon Harley for HER quote.”
FROM THE FILES OF LEX LUTHOR:
If I’m ever tempted to underestimate Waller and A.R.G.U.S., I should remember that they’ve kept a literal demigod under lock and key for decades.
This, of course, presumes King Shark wants to return to the sea. This impressive specimen seems fascinated by the surface world of this Earth. He’s well-read. Cultured. Urbane. Have you ever heard a shark wax rhapsodic about the theory of power? I have, and it’s delightful, if a little digressive.
A ferocious fighter with the soul of a poet –Waller has spent years exploiting these contradictions and sensitivities. What will happen when he’s finally unleashed? Pushed too far? I will certainly be out of reach of those claws and rows of teeth when that happens.
Apex Pounce
King Shark can leap through the air with Apex Pounce.
The Apex Pounce can be used to cover large distances and bound rooftop to rooftop.
Charging on the ground gives King Shark a temporary speed boost and allows him to barge through enemies.

The Aerial Dash allows King Shark to swim through the air effortlessly.
Use the Aerial Dash up to 3 times while in the air for maximum mobility.
(Hold) + –Aerial Dash (while airborne)
Quick Descent
King Shark can quickly descend out of the air using Quick Descent.
The Quick Descent allows Shark to perfect his landings by smashing down on rooftops with more precision.
Aim at groups of enemies to knock them back on impact.
–Quick Descent (while airborne)
Atlantean Drop
King Shark can aggressively drop from a great height using Atlantean Drop.
King Shark will form a cannonball in the air before smashing down to the ground and damaging enemies on impact.
