DC vs Marvel – Round 8

King Shark vs Bucky Barnes – trained assassin with a metal arm and decades of skill, and the other is a giant shark who eats people.

This is not subtle or tactical.

This is nature documentary meets Cold War thriller, narrated by someone screaming.

King Shark (Nanaue)

Half-god, half-shark, all chaos. Huge. Feral. Regenerates.

His hobbies include:

• eating

• smashing

• eating again

• making Harley Quinn question her life choices

He is incredibly strong and weirdly charming in a “please do not let him hug me” way.

Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier)

Super-soldier.

Master assassin.

Metal arm forged for violence and questionable ethics.

Peak hand-to-hand combatant.

Been brainwashed so many times he could legally be classified as scrambled eggs.

He fights like a ghost with a grudge.

How the fight goes

Round 1: Bucky does everything right

He keeps distance. He fires from range. He uses grenades, smoke, and parkour like he is speedrunning a Call of Duty map.

King Shark shrugs off bullets like they are raindrops. Grenades make him laugh.

Smoke just means “seasoning.”

Bucky realises this is not a man—this is a very large fish with vengeance.

Round 2: Close quarters (Bucky’s nightmare)

Bucky tries to reposition. King Shark jumps.

You think a shark cannot jump on land? This one absolutely can.

He lands like a refrigerator being dropped from a helicopter. Bucky blocks with his metal arm. King Shark bites it. Metal-on-shark-teeth screech.

King Shark: “NOM?”

Bucky: “NO.”

Bucky punches, flips, dodges—his skill is insane. But King Shark keeps coming like a tidal wave in cargo shorts.

Round 3: The inevitable chomp

Winter Soldier tries a finishing move: He jams a shock device against King Shark’s neck. King Shark looks annoyed.

Offended. A little hungry. He grabs Bucky. Bucky stabs him. King Shark barely notices. He picks Bucky up like an upset toddler.

And then…

CHOMP.

Not full devour. Just enough to body-slam him with shark force and shake him like a squeaky toy.

Bucky goes down.

Not dead—Bucky Barnes refuses to die—but absolutely defeated and probably missing a few buttons.

Winner: King Shark

Raw strength + durability + mythological shark nonsense.  Bucky is incredible, but King Shark is a kaiju in board shorts. He wins by sheer unstoppable animal momentum.
