Battleshark

            A team of foreign spies are baffled when their seemingly successful information smuggling endeavor is thwarted by… a trained shark that sinks their ship and takes out the life rafts as the members try to flee.
            Military officials praise Dr. Monroe for his efforts to train Mabs, the Mentally Enhanced Battle Shark and they beginning playing war-games involving the shark.  Mabs is employed on his first military operation, but things go wrong when one of the navy guys in the platoon accidentally shoots Mabs, prompting the shark to attack him.  The government insists that Monroe lobotomize the shark.  Monroe proposes that instead he graft metal plates onto the shark’s body to prevent another pain induced outburst.  He sets up the equipment to do this when Mabs bucks loose and flees the laboratory.
            A team of bounty hunters is assembled to scour the globe to hunt down and kill the battleshark.  He travels to various remote locales, and when they finally track him down, he has spawned a family of similarly trained sharks.  The family is terrorizing a sea-side village, biting apart piers and destroying everything they can.  The bounty hunters successfully kill off the shark family, which drives Mabs into a rage.

            His next move surprises everyone.  Mabs returns to the laboratory.  Monroe is excited to see him back and confused when the shark puts itself into the machine that will equip him with armor plates.  Monroe executes the procedure, and then Mabs promptly kills him.  Outside, the shark finds himself again faced with the team of bounty hunters, but now, with his new armor he is ready to fight them.
