As Trieste dies she explains to Tamara that because of her long exposure to the skull hugger that the skull hugger has bypassed certain parts of her body that she can now no longer survive without. Trieste asks Tamara to destroy Xlyym’s monoliths that will destroy the world and that power the skull-huggers. She wants Tamara to free their people though it will kill them. Namor tries to comfort Tamara, but Tiger Shark shoves him away. Later Tamara and Tiger Shark stay outside as Namor gets Stingray back to Hydro-Base to get oxygen and trace Xlyym. Tiger Shark gazes through the window at his sister Diane. Tamara starts to give him the evil eye, but Tiger Shark explains that she is only his sister. He then realizes that mentioning the word “sister” was the wrong thing to do. He apologizes to Tamara. Later Tamara, Tiger Shark, and Triton search the equator where Trieste said Xlyym’s monoliths should be. They arrive at the mouth of the Amazon River. Tamara is grabbed by a tentacle and pulled into the ocean floor. Tiger Shark and triton try to help, but are also sucked in.

Fantastic Four #385- The Fantastic Four trace a call from Namor, and on their way they find Triton and Tiger Shark being pulled under by some strange tentacles. They get them freed, but then Tiger Shark is in a frenzy. He rushes towards Lyja. Lyja changes appearances into a giant squid thing. The shock seems to bring him back. Back aboard their ship Tiger Shark says that he didn’t mean to attack the lady. They ask Tiger Shark for an update, but Shark says that nothing matters now that Tamara is dead. Lyja says that she recognizes the technology being used and tells Shark that Tamara isn’t dead but rather a prisoner. Lyja has a chemical that will stop the tentacles from trying to control them. Shark, Triton, Torch, and Lyja then allow themselves to be pulled down where they find Tamara being held prisoner. They start to free her, but she is being controlled. Tiger Shark knocks her out and puts her over his shoulder. Tiger Shark quickly swims out saying that Tamara is the only one he cares about, and everybody else can drown for all he cares.

Namor #48- Ant-Man flies Tamara and Tiger Shark out to the ocean. He says that he doesn’t have a helmet to breathe air underwater so he must leave them now to go help Lyja deliver her baby. Tamara thanks him. Tiger Shark says, “Yeah, thanks a heap, Ant-Guy”, but adds after he leaps out, “What a toad.” Tamara needs to know if they destroyed the monoliths because their destruction means the deaths of her Banari sisters. Shark realizes that she must choose between her race and the surface world, and that it is a tough choice for her, but that he doesn’t really care either way. They spot the Fantastic Four’s Stealth-Hawk and head for it. Aboard the ship Tiger Shark sees Thing and says, “Hey…hey…Rock-Man right?” and then asks where Namor is. Namor is on his way to destroying one of the monoliths. Namor blacks out and Sue heads down after him. She blacks out when she encounters the Banari. Namor recovers and grabs Sue from the Banari. He isn’t going to make it back so Tiger Shark goes out and saves them both. Zun grabs up the bomb and takes it to the monolith. The thing explodes and the Banari die. Tamara tells Tiger Shark that she is the last of her race. She says that there is water coming out of her eyes. Tiger Shark explains that they are tears.

Fantastic Four #386- Tiger Shark and the others are shaken up by a seaquake from the Earth Thruster exploding. Thing can’t get the Stealthhawk’s engines to start. Namor says that he and Tiger Shark can get out and push them to safety. Tiger Shark says that he could, but he doesn’t care what happens to Namor’s air breathing buddies. Tamara asks Shark to help so he concedes. Outside as they push Namor tries to thank Tiger Shark, but he says to save it and that he isn’t out there for him. Namor says that nevertheless he is in Tiger Shark’s debt. Shark says that he will see if that holds the next time he tries to take Atlantis. Tamara vows vengeance against Xlyym for the death of the Banari. Later, as she stands next to Tiger Shark, Tamara looks on jealously as Namor speaks with Susan. She interrupts them saying that she has detected a transmission. From the transmission they track Xlyym’s ship as he tries to create a giant tidal wave to flood the Earth. Sue blasts the ship with a rocket. Thing freaks about the killing question, but Tamara applauds her efforts. Tiger Shark remains behind with Thing on the Stealthhawk as the others go to check Xlyym’s ship for survivors. They manage to get the lone survivor Xlyym aboard the Stealthhawk. Xlyym says that he expects to be held as an Interstellar Prisoner of War. Tamara then brutally slays Xlyym for his crimes against the Banari.

Namor #54- Remora sees Llyra leaving a cave with a man (whom he doesn't know is her son). He goes to tell Tamara and Tiger Shark. Tamara is setting out Tiger Shark's dinner. Remora tells Shark about Llyra heading to Atlantis with a man who looked like Namor, and Shark says it sounds like good sport to him.

Namor #55- As Llyron is being presented to the Council of Three a guard interrupts as Tiger Shark is seen headed for Atlantis. Atlantean guards attack Tiger Shark and Tamara. Tiger Shark is tackled from behind by Llyron. Tamara fights with Llyra. Llyron hits Tiger Shark, but Shark angles around and grabs Llyron and slashes across his stomach. Llyron hits Tiger Shark and remarks how Shark's fighting style is the same as the last time they teamed. Shark doesn't realize that Llyron shares all of his mother's memories. Shark smashes Llyron with a rock, but Llyron smashes through the rock. Remora tells Namor about Llyron. Llyron and Llyra tie up the beaten Tiger Shark and Tamara. Namor and Llyron fight. Namor gets Shark and Tamara down and takes them with him.

Namor #56- Tiger Shark and Tamara are placed in a type of life support machine inside Namor's new underwater city Biosphere Hydropolis. They might have died if not for Namor's rescue.

Namor #58- Tiger Shark, Tamara, Andromeda, Triton, and Stingray gather to help Namor as he is wanted a terrorist. Tiger Shark says he can find Namor by smelling for his blood, and the others follow him. The group comes upon Namor fighting the Avengers. Thunderstrike hits Andromeda with his hammer. Tiger Shark grabs his face and smashes the back of his head against the floor. Tiger Shark and Thunderstrike go at it (as does the others) until Crystal causes a maelstrom. Namor grabs her. Thunderstike is dizzy, and Shark pounces and goes to bite down on Thunderstike's lungs. Namor kicks Shark off. Shark gets ticked and leaves. Tamara follows.
