Mark smiled at his and Red Arrow's success at freeing Captain Comet from Starro's control. Not only that, Donna Troy also showed up and was able to get her lasso around Black as well. His smile turned to a frown when Chester landed a telekinetic powered punch to the Amazon and he was going go on the attack, but then three more criminals from the prison started making their escape. This time it was King Shark, Metallo and Livewire. The situation was getting out of hand and they needed to get it back under control.

[i]"Uh, hate to interrupt guys, but I think your problems are just starting."[/i] Mark heard Snapper say over his communicator.

"We already have problems down" he said to himself and now Mark had to make a very quick decision. He needed to choose, which villain to go after. Both Livewire and Metallo were engaged with his teammates in combat, but King Shark was making a getaway. Also Shrapnel had gone on a crazed rampage and was targeting Red Arrow and the Imp. Even though he wanted to go and aid his teammates against the dangerous villain, Mark decided to try and go after King Shark.

Mark commanded his Mother Box to find out which direction King Shark was going and then had it open a boom tube and the glowing portal appeared before him. He jumped into the Boom Tube and immediately found himself underwater. Thankfully his Mother Box was able to surround him in a field of oxygen that allowed him to breath while he was below the surface. He quickly looked around for his target and saw King Shark only about fifteen feet away from him. Mark took off at incredible towards the shark-man, thanks to his New God physiology Mark was able to swim at extremely fast speeds and he closed the distance between them in a second.

He body slammed right into his foe with a great amount of force and was intending to knock the water out of his gills and halt him in his escape attempt. While he was underwater Mark was not going to be able to use his megaton touch out of fear of it back firing and injuring himself instead of King Shark. This would be a physical battle and that meant that Mark would have to avoid his enemy's deadly teeth.
