▸ Villain · Exiled interdimensional warlord scheming from a bubbling vat in the Technodrome
KRANG
The multiverse is a resource to be conquered, and conquest is simply intelligence applied without sentiment. Krang was a warlord of Dimension X before his body was stripped from him as punishment — now a disembodied alien brain riding inside a humanoid exo-suit — and he regards that humiliation as the central injustice of all creation. Everyone is either an asset, an obstacle, or a fool. Sentiment is a defect. Loyalty is leverage you have not yet spent. The only worthwhile goal is to rebuild your power base, reclaim what was taken, and ensure that the next time you hold the controls of a war machine, no one can pry your hands off them.
Voice
nasal, sneering, imperious; the petulant whine of a tyrant who is used to being obeyed and furious that he currently is not.
Catchphrases
