Kang the Conqueror is one of the most notable villains in Marvel Comics. While he has mostly been a villain for the Fantastic Four and Avengers, he has also had a lot of run-ins with Iron Man too. Kang was actually born in the 31st Century on “Other Earth,” meaning we’re roughly 1,000 years in his past right now. Due to the technology of the time, Kang is able to figure out time travel and this sets off several multiverses where Kang “conquerors” several universes. Often aided by the many copies of himself.
Due to the endless Kang’s showing up, often with incredible future tech, taking him down is nearly impossible. The big thing about Kang that one needs to know is that he is in all time, from beginning to the end, all across the multiverse. This means there are many villainous versions but also heroic versions too. The MCU decided to use the “Variant” concept, where killing “He Who Remains” would unleash numerous variants of himself. That includes the single variant of Kang. Due to the Loki variant, Sylvie, killing him…Kang is going to be arriving soon. The first stop is Ant-Man 3, but what of his other variants?
