Ultraman Kraken

**Ultraman Kraken** is an Ultra from Earth and a hardcore fanboy of Ultraman Victory.

## Personality

Kraken's primary personality trait is his fanboying over Ultraman Victory, often claiming incorrect information to make him sound better, such as saying Victory defeated Five King with the Victorium Shoot rather than Ginga's Storium Ray, or that he fought a more powerful Ace Killer rather than the actual Victory Killer. However, Kraken has twisted the facts of other entities too, such as calling a random Red King "THE GOD OF EVIL" and declaring Dark Lugiel "way too big for Zero to beat," possibly because saying other ultras couldn't beat Lugiel makes Victory's defeat of him sound more impressive by comparison. Strangely, alongside Victory, he seems to also honor Mother of Ultra, claiming her to be capable of working "miracles," using the time she freed Hikari from the Tsurugi Armor as evidence. Despite his fanboy traits, Kraken is excitable and eager to defend people, which got him encouraged to join the Parody Garrison, despite, like most Ultras of his type, being found annoying. Also worth note is that, no matter how you slice it, Kraken's fanboy traits are greatly reduced when compared to the likes of the god-modding, potentially crush-based traits of Ultraman Fedora.

## History

Unusually for a parody, Kraken was actually born from the will of the Earth, believed to be in response to an influx of Parody Kaiju that were starting to run rampant. Shortly after his birth, Kraken took on a human form named Henry Wu and joined a police academy, becoming an officer. He made himself known as an Ultra when he transformed to fight a Red King, which he called "THE GOD OF EVIL" for whatever reason. However, the Red King was the R/B version! Kraken found himself beaten down until Ultraman Victory appeared because parody. After the battle, Kraken/Henry was left awestruck, determined to find out as much as he could about his savior. This went from studying Victory's past battles, to studying the Victorians, to breaking into the City of Victorium and getting arrested for touching artifacts, to eventually just stalking Victory. However, this version of Victory had experience with Parodies, and seeing Kraken's enthusiasm, he suggested that the youth employ his skill in the Parody Garrison, where he was sure to find at least a few alternate Victories. Kraken took up the idea with open arms, making his way to the Land of Parodies, where he did indeed meet alternate Victories, seeking to talk and interact with every one he met (how his interaction with Ultrawoman Victory went is anyone's guess.) In his first Parody Garrison mission, Kraken and the squad he was part of were pitted against an alternate Ultra Dark-Killer. The villain began their showdown by going on an evil monologue, however, out of nowhere Kraken bizarrely claimed the dark giant was an evil version of Ultraman Zero solely due to his twin sluggers. Horribly offended, Ultra Dark-Killer immediately ran up to Kraken and with his strength, Death Sluggers and other abilities, unleashed a no-holds-barred beatdown which rapidly resulted in the young Ultra's untimely death.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Kraken Cannon:** With his left wrist bent backward, Kraken touches the underside of his wrist to his right forearm, forming an awkward "K" position and fires a beam.
	+ **Victorium Cannon:** Apparently just by thinking hard enough about his hero Victory, Kraken is able to enhance his Kraken Cannon in Victorium energy, making it much more powerful.
* **Kraken Attackin':** Kraken physically attacks the opponent with energized punches and kicks.
* **Ultra Tentacles:** Kraken conjures tentacles made of energy from his hands and uses them to whip or tie up the opponent.
* **Kraken Beak:** Kraken forms a beak-shaped energy construct and launches it, where it bites the target, cutting them apart or ripping chunks out of their armor.
* **UlTrans:** Apparently just by thinking hard enough about his hero Victory, Kraken is able to call forth the Victorian Ultra's various UlTrans monster-based weapons.

## Trivia

* Kraken is a user parody. The user he is based on edited in a way that Sol, Emerald and others compared to fanboying over Victory, and I couldn't resist myself.
* Earth Ultras have become a trend.
