Commander Kraken is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Commander Kraken was a self-styled modern-day pirate who first encountered and fought Namor the Sub-Mariner. He later underwent plastic surgery which drastically altered his appearance, sold his services to HYDRA and became their Naval Action Division Leader. He fought Namor and Iron Man but lost against them.
Later, Commander Kraken was invited to a meeting organized by Gary Gilbert, who wanted to discuss counter-measures against the threat by the Scourge of the Underworld at the "Bar With No Name". Kraken attended and was shot dead along with all the other criminals present by the Scourge himself, who had infiltrated the meeting as the bartender.
[edit] Abilities and Equipment
Commander Kraken had a hook on his left hand that was capable of emitting an electrical shock, but HYDRA later replaced this with a functional bionic hand. His left leg was also bionic, and allowed him to fly. His electro-sword was capable of firing electricity and could reflect force and energy attacks.
Commander Kraken also used squid-shaped submarines with tentacles.
