Some people believe that Kang is responsible for the occurrence of every Marvel film or event, even those that are not part of the MCU.

What if Kang is the underlying cause of how the Marvel anthology is so disjointed? What if, in 1998, Wesley Snipes’ Blade posed the first genuine threat to Kang? In an effort to eliminate Blade, he altered the timeline; however, without Kang’s knowledge, this caused Blade to be born years later.

In Luke Cage, Cottonmouth turns into a variation to scare Kang, so he alters time, but Cottonmouth ends up being born as Blade as a result. Describe how, despite minor alterations brought forward by new films and television series, all Netflix shows are still MCU canon.

Kang may be unable to permanently eliminate some individuals because their existence is required by fate.

As they stated in What If?, certain people’s births are “fixed moments in time.” A fixed point in time cannot be entirely stopped by anyone, not even Kang.

This explains other recasts, such as Terrance Howard’s James Rhodes. Kang believed James Rhodes to be dangerous, so he altered the 616 history to make Rhodes someone different. You can alter several characters in this way, including Cassie Lang, Thaddeus Ross, Bruce Banner, Fandral, Red Skull, and even Thanos, who was represented by a different actor in the first Avengers film.

Additionally, those original actors are available again as variations. The same actors portraying many characters, such as Gemma Chan, can be explained by these chronology alterations.

The next MCU threat can be set up using this strategy as well.

Perhaps the real intent behind all of this was for Kang to halt the events that gave rise to Doctor Doom, Galactus, etc. What if Kang changed the timeline to attempt to keep things apart when every Marvel movie was supposed to connect? This implies that any earlier work could be retroactively included in the MCU as altered histories, courtesy of Kang or the TVA.

What if the combined Fox-Verse, Spider-Verse, and MCU Earth-616 pose the biggest threat to Kang?

What if the Multiverse as a whole poses the biggest threat to Kang, which explains why he has made such an effort to keep these heroes apart?
