Kraken in popular culture

[3] The web comic "Angry Faerie" (from July 13, 2012), featured a bodybuilder type character called the Kraken.

[5] A character called "Kid Kraken" appeared in the Dynamite Comics series The Green Hornet 66' meets The Spirit.

In Aquaman #1,000,000 (Nov. 1998), the eponymous hero of the title encounters one of the "Krakens of Vexjor", a race of huge tentacled reptilian sea monsters that inhabit Earth's oceans in the 853rd Century.

[7][8] Two types of "Krakens" appear in the world of Marvel Comics, one based on the sea monster and the second as a costumed identity used by several individuals.

The latter is used as the codename for a high-ranking member of HYDRA, with Daniel Whitehall and Jake Fury having assumed the identity throughout Marvel Comics' run.
