- King Shark before attempting to eat Barry

King Shark, as dubbed by Patty Spivot, is a meta-human with the physical characteristics of a human and a shark.

Biography
King Shark was brought to Earth One by Zoom to kill the Flash. Patty hears about this 'man-shark' hybrid and obtains a shark tooth and wants Barry to test it for her. Barry then tests it to find only shark DNA, disproving what Patty was saying before. When the Flash watched Patty Spivot from a distance, the man-shark suddenly grabbed him and told him that Zoom wanted him dead. Shortly after, Patty walked out and King Shark was shot by her several times, though the bullets ricocheted off him. As he approached Patty, he was shot by Harrison Wells with a blast of energy from a gun stolen from Mercury Labs.

Powers

 * Shark physiology: Due to unknown means, King Shark has the physical characteristics of part-human, and part-shark.
 * Superhuman strength: King Shark has shown great physical stength when he effortlessly grabbed Barry and held him up with one hand, with Barry being helpless as the man-shark gripped his neck.
 * Superhuman durability: The man-shark can withstand very high levels of physical damage, as shown when he was shot multiple times, but sustained no damage, as the bullets ricocheted off of him.

Abilities

 * Stealth: Despite his size, King Shark was able to sneak up on the Flash.

Trivia

 * King Shark was voiced by actor and screenwriter David Hayter, famous for providing the voices of the characters Solid Snake and Big Boss in the Metal Gear video game series.
 * Before the tweet was removed, Hayter said that this was King Shark, likely the Earth-2 version. Grant Gustin later tweeted about the Special Effects work done on this creature using the hashtag "KingShark".
 * Andrew Kreisberg said that King-Shark won't have his own episode yet, as the effects for him are too expensive. Whether he'll appear again, though, somewhere down the line, is currently undiscussed.
