    How powerful is King Shark? Is he strong enough to be a serious physical threat to the likes of Superman, Wonderwoman, or Superboy, etc? Or is he more like Killer Croc or Bane in terms of strength? Also, how invulnerable/durable is he? I mean, can conventional weapons hurt or kill him or does it take someone with super powers to take him down?

    He bit that one big thing's head off so that was cool. He also got smashed to bits by it and seemed unscathed. I'd say he's somewhere between the extremes of Superman and Croc.

    A really really really big tentacle monster that WTFpwn'd the rest of the Suicide Squad in a matter of seconds. He got smushed by a tentacle and for a second I thought he was dead... then he got a second wind and bit its head off. It was very cool.

    Update: Checked up on his wiki, he was a Superboy/Aquaman villain pre-reboot. So yeah. About that tough.

    @Joygirl: Cool, thanks Joygirl, I figure that if he were an arch foe of Superboy in the past then he must be plenty tough enough to handle most of the more powerful opponents the Suicide Squad may have to face. Gotta have at least one major powerhouse on the team afterall, and the son of a shark deity fills that niche nicely.

    He is extremely durable and strong (when not written by Gail Simone).

    Bulletproof and able to tank and trade punches from Aquaman and Superboy.

    Maybe stronger than Aquaman underwater (but confirmed as slower).

    Claws and teeth can cut through steel.

    Super smell, sight and taste.

    Has regeneration and super speed (underwater).

    Overall he is played as the crazy comic relief, but he is by far the most powerful member on the Suicide Squad.
