Krang (Marvel Comics)

Over the years, he has repeatedly attempted to usurp Namor's throne during the latter's absences, only to be later reinstated in his service. His characterization has gradually evolved, with later appearances presenting him in a more ambiguous, antiheroic light. In some storylines, he has even allied with Namor and joined the superhero team, the Defenders. Krang debuted in Fantastic Four Annual #1 (1963), created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. He subsequently appeared in several Marvel series, including Tales to Astonish (1959), Daredevil (1964), and King in Black: Namor (2021). Krang was born in Atlantis City, Atlantis. He became a leader of the Atlantean military and warlord of Atlantis who rose to prominence during the time in which Namor, the Prince of Atlantis was missing.
