Publication history

The character, created by plotter Stan Lee, writer Ernie Hart and artist Don Heck, debuted in Tales to Astonish #46 (cover-dated Aug. 1963). Kraglin is an A-Chilitarian, an alien humanoid and was introduced as a one-off villain that was defeated by Ant-Man and Wasp.

Fictional character biography

Kraglin is an A-Chilitarian from the planet A-Chiltar III and has the appearance of a furry, purple being with multi-faceted eyes. When they are in Greece, Ant-Man and Wasp investigate a monster attacking boats in the ocean and encounter a Cyclops that is being used by Kraglin and his fellow A-Chilitarians in capturing people for their plot to study the captive fishermen and sailors and take over Earth.

During the "Secret Empire" storyline, Kraglin resurfaces as a member of Yondu's Ravagers.
