Shirak © Juke Box Productions AstroFacts Status: Earliest Appearance: 1959; 1964 to general population of Earth Base of Operations: In another Dimension Personal Data InfoDump Appearances (in Publication Order): Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol.1 #2 Event Timeline Shirak Shirak the Devourer is an extra-dimensional shark god who has attempted to take over Earth at least twice. He is absolute master of the Ravagers, his army of humanoid shark creatures who reside in his home dimension. He transformed an occult group that worshiped him into Ravagers as part of an effort to invade our world in 1959, but they were defeated in 1959 by the combined forces of Honor Guard, just a few weeks after their formation, the Bouncing Beatnik and the Old Soldier. His first known appearance to the general public was in 1964. Powers Powers: An other dimensional god, Shirak's power is undoubtedly vast. For all his might, however, he cannot cross the dimensional gap into our world, or at least he cannot unaided. His first known attack on this world, for example, was only made possible by an occult ritual performed by a group of human worshipers. Once in their presence, Shirak was able to transform those worshipers into Ravagers.
