Krang
A name often mistaken for an Invincible location, but actually belonging to a completely different comic universe.
Krang is not a planet or dimension within the Invincible universe; it is a common misconception stemming from confusion with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. In Robert Kirkman's comic series, there is no celestial body, alien race, or location known as Krang. The cosmic landscape of Invincible features the Viltrumite Empire, the Angstrom Levy multiverse, and various alien worlds like Coda or the home planet of the Guardians of the Globe, but Krang does not exist in this continuity.

Lore & Background
While Invincible explores vast cosmic threats like the Viltrumite Empire, the Terrigen Mist, and the dimensional rifts opened by Angstrom Levy, none of these plotlines involve a location called Krang. The series is renowned for its gritty deconstruction of superhero tropes and its expansive, often brutal, depiction of intergalactic politics. Introducing a non-existent entity like Krang into this lore would contradict the established geography and history of Kirkman's universe, which relies on specific, carefully constructed alien civilizations rather than borrowing names from other franchises.
Reader's Guide
Since Krang does not exist in the Invincible comic universe, there are no geographical features, dominant species, or political structures to describe. The cosmic conflict in this world revolves around the Viltrumite Empire's expansionist policies, the resistance movements on conquered worlds like Earth and Coda, and the chaotic interference of time-traveling villains like Angstrom Levy. The actual settings include the technologically advanced but tyrannical Viltrumite homeworld, the diverse and often war-torn planets of the galaxy, and the fragmented dimensions accessed through Angstrom's portals.
These locations are defined by their struggle against imperial domination or their role in multiversal instability, not by any entity named Krang. Fans seeking information on alien worlds should look to established entries like Viltrum, Coda, or the various dimensions visited during the Time Travel arc, which provide accurate depictions of the universe's geography and conflicts.
