Alessio Berzzotani was an Italian oceanographer. He was mutated into a shark-man during an exposition and began using the name Sharkius Branchii.

History

Berzzotani was diving off the coast of New York one day, when he was approached by both a whale and a shark. The whale swung its tail, moving the currents and sending Berzzotani and the shark spiraling together into some mutagen. Since then, he blamed the whale entirely on his misfortune, and began working with human whalers to eradicate them into extinction.

Returning from Magard in Moycat's car, the Tortugas and Moycat spot the whalers going to work, attempting to kill a humpback. The Tortugas and Moycat leap from his car onto the deck, attacking and overcoming the whalers. Moycat demands to know why they were attacking the whale, and the whaler he is interrogating just says it's a secret. Just then, Sharkius Branchii appears. The heroes attack, but Sharkius takes down Leonardo, Rafael, Donatelo, Miguel Ángel, and Moycat in order, each with a single blow. He then retreats back into the ocean.

Once the Tortugas and Moycat come to, they dive into the ocean to look for Sharkius' marine base. Upon finding it, the Tortugas get blasted by a cannon manned by Sharkius. Moycat hides in the coral as they are captured and brought inside, and tries to find a way in.

Encapsulated in tubes, the Tortugas are told they are to be fed to sharks, Moycat infiltrates the base and takes out Sharkius' henchmen, then uses his bola to shatter Leonardo's tube. Leo hits the switch to free the others, and they attack Sharkius en masse, overpowering him. They strap him to a chair and when he regains consciousness, they demand to know why he's been attacking whales, at to which point Sharkius tells them his mutation origin.

Rafael tells him not to blame the whales, but instead whoever it is that threw toxic waste into the ocean, even going as far as to speculate who did it. Regardless, Leonardo says that as whale hunting is a crime, they have to turn him over to the police. Sharkius swears revenge on both the whales and our heroes, but Moycat laughs and says that by the time he's served his sentence, they'll all be retired.
