Jeff The Symbiote Shark
Extreme Venomverse #5
Not even the cutest Marvel character is safe from becoming Venomized. In Issue 5 of Venomverse, Jeff bonds with a Symbiote to become Jeff-Vemon! You would expect this to lead to carnage, as the Symbiote feeds off of Jeff’s never-ending appetite. However, Jeff, having a baby brain, manages to hold it off.
Even while Venomized Jeff is just like a dog, all he wants to is to play. He does revert to his normal self quickly when Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) takes him to a concert, but the Symbiote still lingers within him…

Jeff And The Cone Of Doom
It’s Jeff! Infinity Comic #13
When Jeff injures his little tail, it gets bandaged up. Just like a dog, he tries to remove it. Gwenpool decides she has to bring out The Cone Of DOOM! This ends up being even worse for poor Jeff, with him trying his absolute hardest to get the nightmare off.
Gwenpool then has the great idea of filling the cone with water, creating a miniature fish tank for Jeff. The constant presentation of Jeff just being a pet dog or fish will never get old. We can’t help but smile at the tiny trouble-maker’s mischief and how every character treats him like family.

Jeff And The Jeff-Verse
It’s Jeff! Infinity Comic #15, #16
When entering a store with hundreds of land shark plushies in Issue #15 of It’s Jeff!, Jeff gets confused as to why there are so many other versions of him. Leaving him in a multiverse-inspired daze. Jeff has a secret love for plushies and is seen owning many throughout these comics.
He returns to these in the next issue to find their factory. This ends up being run by MODOK, who is Jeff’s creator. Jeff sees MODOK playing with land shark toys and decides to leave him and not take any of his clearly precious toys. Jeff really is pure of heart, as he can’t even help but be kind to villains. You shouldn’t be surprised after looking at his face for longer than a second.

Jeff The Ultimate Thief
It’s Jeff! Infinity Comic #7
Being as small as Jeff has its advantages, as you can see in Issue #7 of It’s Jeff! Where we see him become a thief. He visits Captain America, Black Widow, Miles Morales and more heroes’ homes and takes their precious weapons or gadgets to use for himself.
When they find him, he manages to defeat all the heroes and claim his deserved title of the ultimate hero! At least that’s what he thinks. We must call him this forever, or can you really stand breaking that adorable little heart?

Jeff And The Infinity Gauntlet
It’s Jeff! Infinity Comic #10
Jeff is always known for his never-ending hunger, which leads him into all kinds of trouble. In It’s Jeff! Infinity Comic #10 this is pushed to its limit with Jeff being rushed to the hospital due to extreme stomach pains.
After a quick check-up and examination, we see an x-ray of Jeff’s tummy. Everything looks normal, from donuts to fish, then it gets much worse with a snow globe, a license plate and then the Infinity Gauntlet!? Turns out Jeff is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe.

Jeff And The Zombiotes
Venom War: It’s Jeff!
In the It’s Jeff! Issue of Venom War, you get to see more of Jeff’s naughty side. When a Symbiote bonds with a hungry Jeff, they cause carnage by eating treats all over the city. Jeff fights the Symbiote by trying to wash it off at a car wash, but being such a baby, he gives into his appetite.

Jeff The Costume Cutie
It’s Jeff! Infinity Comic #1, #3, #18
Throughout his many appearances, we always see Jeff in a ton of adorable costumes, many with references, such as other Marvel characters or even other series, such as Grogu from Star Wars. This has a story behind it that originates from the very first It’s Jeff! Infinity Comic.
Jeff dives into a Marvel pool party but ends up scaring everyone out when they see his fin above the water. So he decides from then on to wear costumes to make himself less scary to others. Every costume appearance is a treat for the heart. We really hope that more of his costumes, such as the Ingonitco Dolphin, appear as skins in Marvel Rivals.

Jeff The Strange Shark
It’s Jeff! Infinity Comic #35, #36
Doctor Strange needs help with some work and who is better than the very well-behaved Jeff. Of course, this goes wrong instantly when Jeff eats a mysterious stone, causing him to grow tentacles for arms. He then clumps all the Infinity Stones together like a giant gumball and eats them.
This causes even more genetic changes, making him a menacing beast of various aquatic parts. But he uses this strength to save Doctor Strange from danger. This is short-lived though, as he spits it all back out and returns to the Jeff we love. There really isn’t anything this cutie wouldn’t eat.

For a taster, in Wade & Jeff, a mini comic found within Deadpool Volume 8 Issue 4, Jeff is sad, so Deadpool tries on a Gwenpool outfit to cheer him up. Everyone is always so sweet to Jeff, no matter if they are good or evil, and he does the same.
