Martin Kratt is the older Kratt Brother, one of the the main characters of Wild Kratts. Although he is the elder Kratt Brother, Martin has a more playful side and is characterized by the color blue.
Appearance[]
Martin wears hiking boots, khaki shorts, and a blue jacket with the zipper zipped almost all the way down and black stripes running across the sides, and the sleeves are rolled up with a white shirt underneath. He has big blue eyes, tan skin, and sandy blond hair, with two sprigs showing in the back. He is taller than his younger brother, Chris.
Martin's favorite color is blue.
Personality[]
Martin, like Chris, is playful, childish, comedic, and simply loves creatures. On the other hand, he is impulsive, overly optimistic, and while usually prepared for any situation, he sometimes isn't. He loves taking risks, and he is easily distracted, sometimes forgetting that he is on a mission. Martin is impatient, as seen in Bandito: The Black-Footed Ferret, where Aviva told him not to touch the new invention, the Stone Digger, while the others told him to wait until morning, and he uses it anyways. He tries to be a "big brother" and "save" Chris from "danger". Martin loves to get into the mind of creatures. However, he does know when to be serious, and he makes a good teammate. He also knows when to put a creature adventure aside, as shown in "Fossa Palooza", when the team had to go home for Mother's Day.

- Martin plays "extreme-hide-and-seek tag" in Mimic.

- In "To Touch a Hummingbird", Martin sips some of Gourmand's chocolate sauce that was supposedly for some hummingbird eggs. It says that chocolate sauce was his favorite sugary liquid.
- There is a lot of fan art either portraying romance between the brothers or the brothers competing to be romantic with Aviva, but the truth is no romance involved in the relationships of the characters (except brotherly love)
- Martin has two sons, Ronan and Gavin, although unrelated to Martin in the show.
