Tyrak is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional character biography

He is an Atlantean warrior, serving in the army of the conqueror Attuma. He has served in a number of missions for Attuma, and has fought the Avengers on more than one occasion.

He posed as the Inhuman Triton to capture the Avengers for Attuma. Tyrak battled the Avengers when they arrived to battle Attuma. He later fought the Avengers again, attempting to regain his lost honor.

Some time later, Tyrak returned to try to defeat Namor to regain Attuma's favor, but was defeated by the Avengers. Attuma later dispatched Tyrak during the Atlantis Attacks storyline, but he was again defeated by the Avengers and their allies. Tyrak later fought the Avengers and the People's Protectorate.

During the Fear Itself storyline, Tyrak helps Attuma (in the form of Nerkodd: Breaker of Oceans), Attuma' sister Aradnea, and Tiger Shark take over New Atlantis and launch an attack on the surface world.

Powers and abilities

He rivals Attuma's strength and is able to enhance it further by increasing his height to a maximum of 40 feet (12 m).
