Biography
Jeffrey
He came to be engineered by M.O.D.O.K. Superior, who was operating under the alias B.R.O.D.O.K., as part of a genetically modified fleet of land sharks. This army was deployed to attack Santa Monica, California, as an act of retaliation against women who had rejected the creator. The local superhero team, the West Coast Avengers, consisting of characters such as Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, intervened to stop the assault. After the other engineered sharks retreated to the ocean, the team member Gwenpool discovered this specific individual left abandoned. Gwenpool chose to adopt the creature, and despite initial hesitation from other members, the subject was taken in as a pet by the West Coast Avengers. (West Coast Avengers v3 #7)
Gwenpool gave Jeff to Deadpool, who was running Monster Metropolis, for safekeeping. After biting Deadpool multiple times, Jeff was given some ice cream. (Deadpool v8 #1) Jeff hunted until Deadpool grabbed him, while he struggled to rule the monsters including Chet Morita, Quonian, Bun-Bun the Destroyer, Kohlaab the Pile, Zrrgo and the Night Wolf. Elsa Bloodstone soon arrived in the city. When Kraven the Hunter attacked, Jeff tried to help in the fight against him. Bloodstone shot Deadpool and he disappeared. (Deadpool v8 #2) Bloodstone saw Deadpool reappear where Jeff looked confused when Bun-Bun suggested he eat the Land Shark. When Deadpool showed Jeff his new trading card about him, Jeff ate it.

Smash Smash refused to stop putting civilians in danger then even tried to eat Jeff so Deadpool had to kill him. (Deadpool v8 #5) After playing cards with Deadpool and the Night Wolf, Jeff joined Deadpool hiding within the form of Jelby and passing through the gate to Krakoa. They met the X-Men, many of whom found Jeff adorable, and briefly sparred with them. During the fight, Jeff was thrown at Storm's face and he briefly had her head in his mouth, and he bit Polaris' leg. Magik teleported Deadpool and Jeff home, and Jeff barfed up a Krakoan flower that he'd swallowed. (Deadpool v8 #6) Jeff was startled when Deadpool woke from a nightmare. When Deadpool tried leaving Jeff behind on a mission, Jeff bit his face then accompanied Wade and Elsa to a mission in Greenland, teleported there by Hurl. They went through the Seam into the dimension of the Bone Beasts, and Jeff bit the beasts in his way during the following battle. They soon confronted the Queen of the Bone Beasts directly. (Deadpool v8 #7) Jeff, Deadpool, and Elsa were captured and tied up. Deadpool freed Jeff and Elsa, and they met the captured kids, including Svetja. They then confronted the Bone Beasts directly.
