Krang grew up in
Atlantis and soon became an accomplished and high
ranking military officer. He soon fell in love with
Lady Dorma, who was drifting from her true love,
Prince Namor (who, unbeknownst to her, had amnesia on the surface world
at the time). Krang entertained notions of overthrowing the throne, and when
Namor regained his memories, Krang offered his services as warlord under
Namor's rule of Atlantis. Then, when Namor was gone for an extended absence,
Krang stepped in and seized the throne,
ruling as a despot and turning Namor away. Namor returned soon, however, and
soon proved Krang's better, exiling the warlord.
Krang came into conflict with
Iron Man (Jim Rhodes
at the time) after discovering various Iron Man
armors adjacent to his undersea home. How come? Because Rhodey and pal Morley Erwin dumped the
suits (via remote control) there to prevent
Obadiah Stane from getting his paws on 'em, that's why! (IM
#174.) Krang and a few of his cronies donned
various parts of the armors and gave Rhodey a tough time -- made even more
difficult by Nick Fury,
who was also trying to snatch up the disposed armors! Morley reactivated
the remote units used to dump the armors in the first place, causing Krang and
Co. to rise higher and higher into the air! They decided to shed the armor and
drop back into the sea. Smart choice.
First ever appearance: Fantastic Four Annual #1.
