History:
(Marvel Age Spider-Man Team-Up#4 (fb) - BTS) -
"Aeons" ago, Kryllk was part of the troll invasion of Asgard (or may
have led it). Asgard's ruler used the powerful Frostgaard Crystal to
freeze time around the trolls and they were moved into realms
underground. Odin secreted the Crystal away. Much time later, the
vengeful Kryllk was able to gain control of the Crystal.
(Marvel Age Spider-Man Team-Up#4) - The criminal
Looter's unwitting interference with a meteorite diverted the Crystal's
teleportation to New York. By chance, Spider-Man and Thor were there to
counter the attack, although all else on Earth (and Asgard) were frozen
in time; the heroic pair evaded the Crystal's effect only by Thor's
quick-thinking use of his mystical hammer. Kryllk emerged from the
dimensional rift with his small army, and fierce battle raged between
the heroes and the trolls. Kryllk smugly gloated as he teleported to
take over Asgard. Thor and Spider-Man followed, and realized that
Kryllk flitted between nanoseconds to avoid being hit by either of
them. Thor stayed in Asgard fighting trolls while Spider-Man was sent
back to New York by Thor's hammer. Cleaving through troll minions, the
savage attacks by both Thor and Spider-Man stunned Kryllk, allowing the
heroes to strike the troll warlord simultaneously. His link with the
Frostgaard Crystal broken, time was restored. Odin banished the trolls
once more and praised the heroic pair.
Comments: Created by Gerry Conway, Ross Andru, Jim Mooney. Earth-50302 developed by Todd DeZago, Ron Lim, Scott Koblish.
Unfortunately, there are no clear images of Kryllk,
despite him being the star villain. It's still enjoyable art from Ron
Lim, but not quite his usual high standard of composition.
This is a sort of retelling of Marvel Team-Up I#7, the only appearance of Earth-616's Kryllk in which he stole the Watcher's Dark Crystal, which had similar powers to that of the Frostgaard Crystal (Spidey-50302 does informally call the Frostgaard Crystal a "dark crystal thing"). I'm guessing that MTU issue (from 1973) had an impact on the young DeZago (the writer) for such an obscure character to resurface.

CLARIFICATIONS
:
Kryllk has no known connections to:
"Aeons" ago, the Frostgaard Crystal was used by Odin to freeze time to stop an invasion of Asgard by trolls bent on its destruction. The trolls were moved to an underground realm and Odin secreted the Crystal away. However, the troll warlord Kryllk gained hold of it and used it to attack, but due to the criminal Looter's unwitting interference with a meteorite on Earth, Kryllk landed in New York first. The Asgardian hero Thor saw the light-warping effect of the crystal and, alongside Spider-Man, he used his mystical hammer to keep a fraction of a second away from the time-freeze effect that caged Earth. Kryllk touched the large crystal and transported himself to Asgard (also frozen in time), shifting between nanoseconds as he avoided Thor and Spider-Man, although the heroic pair eventually knocked him out and the invasion was stopped. The Frostgaard Crystal was mystically transported back to Asgard by Odin.
The giant Frostgaard Crystal responded
to the commands of the person who touched it. It could freeze time at a
planetary level with the visual effect inverting all colors. It allowed
Kryllk to instantly teleport to the Asgardian throne room. The Crystal
allowed the wielder to shift between nanoseconds while across vast
distances, effectively providing a kind of protection where the wielder
could almost be considered to be in two places at once.
