History: (Blackhawk vol. 1 #50)-Killer Shark is a feared pirate who made his first public appearance looting the city of Kamard in 1950. The Blackhawks tracked him to his undersea base and defeated him. He was thrown into a shark tank, but escaped death.

The fight is inconclusive, but the other Blackhawks manage to destroy the War Wheel. The further activities of Killer Shark are unrecorded.
