[edit] History

Kraa the Unhuman was a former tribesman in Wabuzi, Africa who was mutated by an explosion caused by Soviet soldiers. Kraa was mistaken and named after the seeker of vengeance and sought vengeance against the Russians that caused his condition as he was in constant pain through his radiation burns. However, Kraa’s pain from the burns was soothed by an ointment from a teacher and Kraa apparently fell to his death from a cliff while saving the teacher from a python. In turn, the teacher was subsequently worshipped as a god for apparently destroying Kraa. Recently it was discovered that Kraa survived and was in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody where he was placed in the Howling Commandos Monster Force.

In Warlock & the Infinity Watch #7, a duplicate of Kraa was created and made much larger than the original. This duplicate is seen amongst the mutates of Monster Isle.
