A champion Olympic swimmer, Todd Arliss earned nearly half million dollars in advances for public exhibitions, but his dreams came crashing down around him when he injured his back and legs while rescuing a man who had fallen overboard from a private craft. He was told that he would never be able to swim again, so he spent his fortune in seeking any kind of medical help. Dr. Lemuel Dorcas promised Arliss he could help, and, despite the pleas of his sister, Diane, Todd agreed. As part of the process, Dorcas hoped to use his “morphotron,” which could imprint the genetic pattern of an animal onto a human. In seeking tiger sharks to use on Todd Arliss, Dorcas accidentally captured the Sub-Mariner as well, and Namor’s genetic pattern was transformed as well as the sharks’, transforming Todd into a superhuman, amphibious creature know as Tigershark.

Overall
Tigershark is definitely a filler figure for me. To be honest I did not even know who this character was until he was announced for this wave and I looked him up. If you a hardcore collector and your collection runs deep then I’m sure you were looking to add this figure to you shelf. For me it’s only a buy for the Ultron BAF part which is a must have character.
