  1. I dig the Kraken/octopus aspect along with his abilities and the “Turkey Leg”, but not totally feeling the costume only cause it doesn’t feel as original as the character himself. Maybe it’s just me, but the Kraken emblem on his chest reminds me of Spider-Man and the color scheme reminds me of Night Thrasher and Deadpool.

    Not saying there’s anything wrong with that or that I’m just another internet complainer, just an honest opinion of a black comic fan who would like to see more black heroes that aren’t being tied to other heroes.
