Atomic Sharks are radioactive sharks that appear in the Syfy Channel's movie Atomic Shark. There were two of them seen in the film, but there could be more.
Appearance[]
Atomic Sharks are presumably great white sharks that are horribly mutated, being covered in broken blisters that span their entire body, revealing red muscular tissue. At times, large pustules filled with an orange fluid will appear on their bodies shortly before bursting. The bursting pustules do not visibly harm the sharks.
History[]
Atomic sharks were mutated by radiation leaking from a sunken Soviet submarine. One individual in San Diego hunted marine wildlife and attacked humans. It died when it became beached on Isla Coronado, one of the islands within the Coronado Islands, causing it to overheat and explode. Another individual is not seen until the very end of the movie and does not attack.
Abilities[]
Nuclear fission takes place inside of the shark's body causing it to glow and emit radiation and intense heat. This intense heat causes nearby objects to combust into flames whenever it leaps out of the water, though it does not cause the surrounding water to boil. They also irradiate nearby sealife, which doesn't harm the sealife but anyone who ate them was shown to die of radiation poisoning within minutes.
Weaknesses[]
Atomic sharks need to be "cooled" by the seawater that they inhabit, otherwise they will overheat and explode like an atom bomb. The blast is not known to be radioactive.
