The Kraken is a Marvel Comics supervillain.
[edit] History
The Kraken race was born many millennia ago. The exact date is unknown. The creature now most oftenly lies dormant in the seas, but can be called into battle by the sounds of a special horn called the "Proteus Horn". In modern days, this Horn was found by the villain Attuma who stored it in his cave for later use, but never did. The horn was later found by the villain Andromeda, who blew the Horn and used one of the Kraken to attack Atlantis. The attack was diverted by the Atlanteans, who used their strength to destroy the entrance to Atlantis. The rocks that fell trapped the Kraken creature deep within, probably killing it. Since then, no other Kraken creature has been seen in the comics.
[edit] In other media
The Kraken appears in the video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Summoned by Mandarin to delay the heroes in Atlantis, it must be defeated before moving on.
