In Street Sharks, a university professor named Dr. Robert Bolton and his partner Dr. Luther Paradigm create a machine known as the โgene-slammerโ which is capable of changing aquatic animals into anthropomorphic hybrids by combining their DNA. In his attempt to prevent Paradigm from using this machine for personal power, Bolton is transformed into an unseen monstrosity, but escapes. Later, Paradigm gives Boltonโs four sons John, Bobby, Coop, and Clint the likeness of four different sharks.
When Dr. Paradigm captures their friend Bends, the resulting โStreet Sharksโ rescue him and the resulting battle causes Paradigm to be combined with piranha DNA (for which he is often nicknamed โDr. Piranoidโ by other characters). In subsequent episodes, Dr. Paradigm creates a variety of mutant animals to destroy the Street Sharks while attempting to persuade the inhabitants of their native metropolis of Fission City to imprison them. Of these mutant animals, a few sided with the Sharks themselves: namely Rox, Moby Lick, Mantaman, and El Swordo. You an watch the series for free on PlutoTV.
