He needs the suit to contain his ectoplasm since can only survive for a few hours in open air. He can possess a soulless body or a machine to continue existing.
He doesn't feel right inhabiting a corpse and a machine would be hard to maintain, so he has a suit that's basically a balloon.
Yes, he will be in the third...i was reading an interview and Guillermo Del Toro said that he has a past with Karl Kroenen... i didn't read that in the comic but i think it would be interesting...I love Johann! (i have to say it, is my fangirl side talking)
I love Johann Krauss...the character, the voice...is awesome...i think i fall in love with him...well that is not "weird" in my book...thanks, seth, you made my life more exciting...
He was great as Johann Kraus. He stole nearly every scene he was in. At first I was worried he'd sound too much like the fish from Ammerican Dad, but he was able to make it more distinct.

Okay, why does Krauss need the suit if without it he can still actuate material things?
I mean, I know he's a disembodied spirit, but he doesn't need the suit if he can manipulate material objects.
hell5309 11 months ago
@hell5309 he can manipulate objects yes.... but he needs to interact with some as a normal human would... hence the suit

Johann Krauss ruined every scene he was in. It constantly reminded me of Seth Macfarlane's german fish character, Claus.

Macfarlane doesn't do the voice for Claus. Dee Bradley Baker does.
