Origins:
 
When an atomic pile went out of control at an experimental atomic station, there was an explosion which released radiation and mutated a tiger shark that was swimming close to the shore. Rapidly, the Shark developed humanoid looks, as well as great psionic powers and human-level intelligence.
The Tiger Shark telepathically absorbed knowledge from the minds of humans, thus learning how to speak. But despite his newly found abilities, the Shark retained his instinct to hunt and destroy his prey.
However, the Shark soon realized that with all his new abilities hunting humans would be too easy. He telepathically sought out a victim who would be worthy of him, and he learned of Green Lantern, and how Hal Jordan was supposedly a man without fear. The Shark decided he would hunt Green Lantern and that before he killed him, Jordan would experience fear.
