It’s time to take a close look at this important villain from Marvel Comics, thanks to the thrilling new trailer for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, where we finally see Jonathan Majors in his fully grown Kang avatar. His influence on the MCU is certain to be significant considering his background in comic books.

He Who Remains, the first Kang variant in the MCU, made his appearance in Loki, while Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will have a second Kang variant. However, there are a ton of bizarre, absurd, and horrifying Kang versions that might make their MCU debut.

The majority of Kang variants in comic books have similar core skills but have increased their strength through various technological and other advancements. He can manipulate time and space in ways that are expected to have significant effects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, effectively making him godlike thanks to his futuristic technology.

Let’s take a look at the top 10 Kang variants that we would want to see in the MCU.

10. Kang-Aroo The Conqueror

After all, Loki-gator (Aligator Loki) already exists; why not Kang-Aroo the Conqueror? Yes, the majority of his appearance in the Spider-Ham Comic Book was a parody, but Throg is a fantastic example of an animal variant in the MCU. There must be a method for Loki Season 2 to convey how different an unlimited number of Kang variants can be. Why not employ a grating Australian hopping Kang-Aroo.

9. Mr. Gryphon

When Mr. Gryphon’s company, Qeng Enterprises, acquired Stark Tower and he first appeared to work with the Chitauri alien known as Warbringer, his debut appearance was in The All-New, All-Different Avengers. They quickly learned that Mr. Gryphon was actually a time-divided version of Kang the Conqueror who had been trapped in the 21st century.

Since he was unwilling to wait countless years to return to the dynasty he would establish in the future as Kang, he attempted to establish his dynasty in the here and now as the CEO of his own company. Fortunately, the Avengers were able to derail his plans, and Jane Foster/Thor was able to transport him back in time.

8. Ultimate Kang the Conqueror

Kang The Conqueror of Earth (13074) is Sue Storm in The Ultimate Comics. Sue was in an alternate reality after being sent there by Reed Richards before “everything went wrong,” a timeline she decided to protect by collecting the Infinity Stones and changing the course of events. It would be revolutionary to see a Sue Storm version of Kang make his MCU debut, especially if it were a plot twist in one of the MCU’s future Fantastic Four films. After witnessing a variant of a hero, like Sue, turn so tremendously wicked in front of their eyes, this exceedingly rare form of Kang would serve as a game-changer for the Fantastic Four and Avengers properties as a whole and bring some real conflict amongst the teams and their members.

7. Kang The Conglomerator

A number of other reality-based Spider-Man characters were introduced in the Edge of Spider-Geddon series, including Hobie Brown/Spider-Punk, a music-driven vigilante who collaborated with Captain Anarchy, and an alternate Hulk variant.

Kang the Conglomerator was a millionaire businessman who controlled the rights to every superhero from the year 2099, the future of his universe. Hobie Brown was able to beat Kang with the help of punk rock, but he had intended to bring Spider-Punk with him into the future in order to capitalize on his brand name.

6. Scarlet Centurian

The result of Kang’s Dr. Doom phase is Scarlet Centurion. After encountering the infamous Fantastic Four villain while going by the Egyptian identity Rama-Tut, he once desired to be like him. He primarily posed a menace to the Avengers by using time travel to enter their thoughts and send them, for example, back to 1944, only for them to later journey to an alternate Earth.

Kang finally gave up on Scarlet Centurion as a failed experiment and went back to his Rama-Tut identity, but perhaps this new appearance might make for a distinctly eye-catching version to appear on Loki Season 2.

5. Kamala Kang

A malfunctioning protection suit caused Kamala Khan to be soaked in Chronogen mist, which resulted in Kamala Kang. Later, her insatiable desire to investigate the time stream caused numerous issues that had a profound impact on the cosmos.

Character fusion is one of Marvel Comics’s coolest features because of how many different universes and dimensions there are. That occurred with Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel and Kang the Conqueror.

4. Nathaniel Richards

Even though he doesn’t always pose as much of a menace to the Avengers as someone like Thanos, Kang quickly rose to the top of their list of most formidable adversaries. The link Kang has to his past is crucial to understanding him, if at all possible.

Having discovered Doctor Doom’s time-travel technology in the future, Nathaniel Richards, a scholar from the 31st century, may be a relative of both Reed Richards and the character. He first travels back in time to ancient Egypt, where he had previously encountered the Fantastic Four a year earlier. Kang would tie many more time-related knots throughout the timeline after this one.

3. Iron Lad

After Kang rescued 16-year-old genius Nathaniel Richards from suffering severe injuries at the hands of a bully, his life was permanently altered. In order to motivate Nathaniel’s younger self, he soon revealed that he was Nathaniel’s future self, gave him neuro-kinetic armour, and gave him glimpses of his wicked future. Appalled by what he saw, Nathaniel decided to reject his fate and return to the year 616 in the present to assume the identity of Iron Lad.

The MCU is obviously getting ready for a Young Avengers film, and Iron Lad ought to be in it, as seen by the introduction of characters like Ms. Marvel and Wiccan into the MCU. Given that Stature is prepared to face Kang in Quantumania, it is quite likely that Iron Lad will make his MCU debut at some point soon and possibly join the Young Avengers.

2. Kid Immortus

Nathaniel Richards decided to return to his rightful place in history, eventually becoming a villain after the death of his love interest Cassie Lang during his brief tenure as Iron Lad. Richards, who wanted to be the most effective of his rivals, took the name Kid Immortus and went back in time to annihilate the Fantastic Four and the Future Foundation.

If Iron Lad is to appear in the MCU, a great character arc for him throughout the Multiverse story would be for him to finally transform into Kid Immortus. Additionally, Kid Immortus could be retconned by Marvel so that he can confront the Young Avengers as one of their key adversaries in his own unique variation. In addition, Kid Immortus might play a villain in one of the Fantastic Four movies after its 2024 release.

1. Kang Prime

This is most likely the person who comes to mind when you hear the phrase “Kang the Conqueror.” Richards, who was born in the 31st century as Nathaniel Richards (and may be a descendent of Reed Richards), lived in a world in which the Dark Ages never occurred. As a result, Richards was able to perfect time travel and rule over his kingdom for many years.

Given that Majors will be portraying “Kang the Conqueror” in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and not one of his several variations or aliases, this is most likely the Kang who recently gained control of the TVA.
