==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
