Kang the Conqueror, a notorious Marvel villain from the distant future, has the ability to travel through time. Although the MCU’s Endgame already introduced the concept of time-travel, the Kang Dynasty story could explore it on an even grander scale, fully utilizing Kang’s unique abilities.
Avengers’ Encounters With The Past
In various comic book stories, the Avengers have been sent back to different time periods. For instance, they once found themselves in medieval times, where they met Morgan Le Fay in Earth-398. This kind of narrative could be employed in the Kang Dynasty, potentially involving characters like Black Knight and Sersi, who have connections to this era.
A Time-Travel Adventure For The Avengers
During the Kang Dynasty, Kang could arrive in the present with a futuristic army to conquer Earth. To achieve his goal, he might send the Avengers spiraling into various time periods, separating them into groups. Each group of heroes would then have to find their way back to the present to stop Kang’s conquest.
Exploring Different Time Periods
The Avengers could be sent to a range of time periods, such as:
- Medieval Times: Encountering characters like Morgan Le Fay, as mentioned earlier.
- World War II: Meeting the Invaders, a classified team that includes a younger Captain America and Bucky Barnes. This could also introduce Namor to the story.
- The 30th Century: Encountering a young Kang or Iron Lad, potentially setting up a romantic subplot between Cassie and Iron Lad.
- Ancient Egypt: Meeting Rama Tut, a Kang variant from that time.
While the Avengers are scattered across time, a resistance of heroes left in the present could continue the fight against Kang. The narrative could interweave these various events, similar to how the storylines were connected in Infinity War.
Expanding The Time-Travel Concept
With Kang as the primary antagonist, the MCU has the perfect opportunity to delve deeper into time-travel before moving on to Secret Wars. By sending the Avengers on a time-hopping adventure, the Kang Dynasty storyline could provide a fresh and compelling approach to the time-travel concept, building on the foundation laid by Endgame.
