King Shark's powers and abilities

Meta-Human/Shark Physiology

After Shay was struck by the energy of the particle accelerator explosion on Earth-2, this altered his DNA and supercharged his cells and Shay became a meta-human with physical characteristics and abilities of both a human and a shark, augmenting his physiology into well-beyond peak human condition.

Accelerated Healing Factor

Due to his shark physiology; Shay's cells are regenerative in nature, thus allowing Shay to rapidly heal from extensive injuries. Even after losing his entire right hand, he fully regrew it in seconds.

Electrolocation

Shay is able to sense the bio-electricity in living creatures, as a normal shark does to allow it to track fish, which allowed him to track down the Flash's powerful electrical signature throughout an entire city (although he claimed it was scent).

Superhuman Durability

Shay can withstand very high levels of physical damage, as shown when he was shot multiple times by Patty, but sustained no damage, as the bullets ricocheted off of him. This was proven again when he was able to face off against A.R.G.U.S. agents and get shot at plenty of times and simply remark that guns and bullets can't hurt him. King Shark's durability is far beyond that of average humans as he was able to take several lightning bolts hurled by the Flash.

Superhuman Speed

Shay is able to move at speeds far faster than normal humans. His superhuman strong legs allow him to run very fast on land, although he is much faster in the water, as he was able to swim at speeds comparable to the Flash. He still isn't as fast as Barry on land.

Speed Swimming

Due to his shark physiology; Shay is able to swim as fast as an actual shark; allowing him to move in water at speeds nearly equal to that of the Flash.

Superhuman Strength

Shay has shown great physical strength when he effortlessly grabbed Barry and held him up with one hand, with Barry being helpless as Shay gripped his neck. He also showed greater levels of physical strength when he tore open the roof of the West house during another attempt to find the Flash. During his attack on the West house, King Shark was able to knock down the Flash while the latter was running at superhuman speed.

Telepathic Immunity

Due to the fact that Shay's mind is more animal-like as King Shark, he's immune to Grodd's psychic powers, which allow the latter to control most humans.

Underwater Breathing

Due to his shark physiology; Shay is able to breathe while under water.

Abilities:

Intimidation

Shay's physical appearance is quite intimidating by itself; two A.R.G.U.S. agents were paralyzed with fear when they saw King Shark, which gave him enough time to kill them.

Skilled Combatant

As King Shark, Shay is able to use his immense size and strength when fighting against his opponents. When he fought against Grodd, he was able to punch him multiple times and toss him with ease.

Skilled Tactician

Shay is a skilled tactician as he was able to escape an A.R.G.U.S. holding tank by playing dead and track down the Flash using his superhuman senses.

Stealth

Despite his large size, Shay was somehow able to sneak up on the Flash without being noticed by anyone.
