==Summary==
Nathaniel Richards, a 31st-century scholar and possible descendant of Reed Richards, becomes fascinated with history and discovers the time travel technology created by Victor von Doom. Richards then travels back in time to ancient Egypt aboard a Sphinx-shaped timeship and becomes the Pharaoh Rama-Tut, with plans to claim En Sabah Nur as his heir. Rama-Tut's rule is cut short when he is defeated by the time-displaced Fantastic Four. 
Richards then tries to return to the 31st century, but overshoots by a thousand years, discovering a war-torn Earth that uses advanced weapons they no longer understand. He finds it simple to conquer the planet, expanding his dominion throughout the timelines, and reinvents himself as Kang the Conqueror. But this future world is dying, and so he decides to take over an earlier, more fertile Earth, the 20th century.

Standard Equipment: Kang armor
* Can summon: Various devices, weapons and ships across the timeline
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (He can create extremely complicated technologies by in-verse standard and holds a near-encyclopedic knowledge of his timeline, with his time-traveling apparatus being explicitly superior to Doctor Doom's. Despite this, he is very likely advantaged by the technological advancements of his time period for him to perform these feats.Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 22 Exceptionally skilled general with millions of eras under his thumb, and a very experienced combatant.)
Weaknesses: Used to have an overwhelming fixation towards defeating the Avengers.
Notes:
* Kang functionally has no optional equipment, since he can access anything in his possession, either by summoning or teleportation, as such there is no point in making said distinction.
* Kang destroying the timeline during his fight with Ultron is attributed to Marvel Universe's mechanics rather than Kang's own feat, as such there should be no assumption that it'll work on a standard universe.Avengers Vol 4 1-6

==Explanation==
Nathaniel Richards is an incredibly complicated character as there are multiple divergents of him along the timestream. The wiki condenses them as such:
* Nathaniel Richards, who was to become Rama-Tut, but his life diverged when he was approached by a time-traveling Kang at age 16, and became a hero under the name of Iron Lad, and then became Kid Immortus. - Iron Lad
* Nathaniel Richards, who became Rama-Tut, who then became Kang, became Rama-Tut again, and later became Kang and didn't change to another identity. There were many of these, but Immortus cleaned up his own timeline by manipulating the Kangs into killing each other off and then absorbed the memories of all into a single Kang - Kang the Conqueror (Classic Iteration)
* Nathaniel Richards, who became Rama-Tut, who then became Kang, became Rama-Tut again, and later became Kang and then eventually changed to Immortus. This version of Kang was later made into an independent being due to Kang’s willpower to not turn, now with his own history - Immortus
