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.
A similar Kraken (a gigantic Octopus) appeared earlier in the comics Tales to Astonish #93 and Sub-Mariner #27.
[edit] In other media
The Kraken appears in the video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Summoned by Loki (in disguise as Mandarin at the time) to delay the heroes in Atlantis, it must be defeated by attacking continuously until it breaks one of the four towers enter the towers once they are blown and then you will find out how to defeat it.
