Commander Kraken gained notoriety when he
began sinking ships with his nuclear submarine
that was shaped like the legendary kraken;
from there came his name. After his defeat at the hands of the
Sub-Mariner (Sub-Mariner #27),
he joined HYDRA for a while but soon left the criminal organization, taking
many brilliant HYDRA scientists
with him. He had them perform bionic surgery on him, radically altering his
appearance and endowing him with a bionic robotic left hand and a bionic left
leg which contained a jet engine. He was also outfitted with an
electro-sword.
Kraken kept sinking ships at sea, taking the
passengers and crews hostage in his hidden base off the British coast. He
brainwashed them into becoming his slaves in order to use them to build
advanced warships. When Iron Man
stumbled upon this operation, a battle erupted. During the fight, Kraken
accidentally damaged the base’s automated systems,thereby triggering an explosion.
Miraculously, all present survived and escaped with their lives. Kraken became a criminal operating in the
Great Lakes region until he was
shot dead by an operative of the group simply known as
Scourge (Captain
America #319).
