Diego is the belligerent brat of the family. He is not a very charismatic individual nor is he anywhere near as talented as his super siblings. All his life he's had to work twice as hard and he has a massive chip on his shoulder. This leads to the rest of the family not liking him very much.

While the rest of his super siblings have given up saving the day, the man codenamed Kraken becomes a vigilante. He silently moves through the night fighting injustice. He lacks discipline and his arrogance ends up putting him at odds with Spaceboy.

Number Two also has the ability to hold his breath indefinitely, which gives him an advantage when working underwater. Diego is also a very talented fighter with a knife, a skill he showed signs of excellence at from a very young age.

David Castaneda of El Chicano and Sicario: Day of the Soldado will be suiting up as Diego, aka The Kraken. He will bring the hero that can be described as a somewhat hybrid between Aquaman and Batman to the highly anticipated Netflix series.
