Karshon was a normal tiger shark until a radioactive explosion super-evolved him into an anthropomorphic Shark. This enhanced his regular beastial abilities, and along with it he gained new abilities like psychokinesis. He used his powers to make himself appear more human and adopted the name "T.S. Smith" to stand for "Tiger Shark." He eventually became an enemy of Aquaman and the Green Lantern Hal Jordan, and has been a member of the Weaponers of Qward and the Secret Society of Super-Villains. His Prime Earth counterpart later became an occasional opponent to Flash and a member of the Suicide Squad

A female version of the character was later introduced in the DCEU film Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Karshon was created by Gil Kane and John Broome, and first appeared in Green Lantern (Volume 2) #24 (1963).
