Jeff the Land Shark

Few characters in recent Marvel memory have burst onto the scene with quite the infectious charm of Jeff the Land Shark — a delightfully absurd Modern Age creation who made his catalog debut in Captain Marvel #9 (2023), brought to life by artist Juan Frigeri. In just a handful of years, Jeff has racked up appearances across Gwenpool, G.O.D.S.: One World Under Doom, and Captain Marvel, sharing pages with the likes of Kate Bishop, Gwen Poole, and Peter Parker himself. With 18 appearances and counting, this little land-dwelling shark has carved out a genuinely beloved niche in the Marvel universe — proof that you don't need decades of history to become a fan favorite worth following.
