Krang is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Fantastic Four Annual #1 (1963). An Atlantean military leader, Krang has alternated between being an ally and an adversary of Namor. Over the years, he has repeatedly attempted to usurp Namor's throne during the latter's absences, only to be later reinstated in his service. His characterization has gradually evolved, with later appearances presenting him in a more ambiguous, antiheroic light. In some storylines, he has even allied with Namor and joined the superhero team, the Defenders.
