Kang the Conqueror

*"Do you know how many rebellions I've put down? How many worlds I've conquered? How many Avengers I've killed? And you think you can beat me? I am Kang!"*
―Kang the Conqueror to Ant-Man[src]
**Nathaniel Richards** is a scientist from the 31st Century who discovered the Multiverse's existence and co-led the Council of Kangs in ruling over the foreseeable realities. Deeming the council's actions to be destroying the Multiverse, Richards sparked the Multiversal War, seeking to conquer as many worlds as possible as **Kang the Conqueror**. However, the council decided to banish him to the Quantum Realm, where he allied with Janet van Dyne to rebuild the Time Sphere, until he was betrayed after van Dyne discovered his evil plans. Kang was once again trapped in the Quantum Realm, using that time to conquer part of it and build an empire in Axia.

Years later, after taking Darren Cross under his wing, Kang had ordered the capture of Ant-Man and Cassie Lang, holding the latter prisoner unless Ant-Man would succeed in claiming the Multiversal Engine Core to escape the Realm with his new empire and enact a new dynasty. However, Kang's attempts were thwarted by a revolution by the Freedom Fighters. In his last opportunity to escape, he had a brutal duel against Ant-Man, which resulted in Kang being shrunken and decimated by his own Engine Core. After being absorbed and decimated by his Engine Core, Kang was sent to the Void, where he found Alioth and Ravonna Renslayer.

In the wake of the Council of Kangs' defeat, Kang arrived on Earth-616 and encountered the Avengers, where he'd get into a brutal and fierce battle, effortlessly killing the Avengers in front of everyone.

## Biography

### Multiversal War

*"Every version of me. My Variants. Throughout the Multiverse. Playing with time, like children. But I saw how it ends. I saw their chaos spreading across realities. Universes colliding. Endless Incursions. I saw the Multiverse. And it was dying. All because of them. So, I took control."
"You mean you started a war."*
―Kang the Conqueror and Janet van Dyne[src]

While living on Earth in the 31st century, Nathaniel Richards discovered the existence of the Multiverse, which consisted of alternate universes and alternate versions of himself. Richards' Variants had been discovering the Multiverse at the same moment and made contact, sharing knowledge and technologies with each other, in an effort to improve their timelines. However, Richards realized that the reckless actions of his Variants was causing chaos that was spreading throughout the entire Multiverse. He saw the ultimate demise of the Multiverse due to the collisions of the universes and Incursions.

Richards decided to take control, adopting the name of Kang the Conqueror, and sought to conquer as many timelines as possible he possibly could, starting the Multiversal War between his Variants. All Variants had been fighting one another in an ultimate struggle to annihilate other timelines and leaving only the one they had conquered. During his conquest, Kang fought and killed the Avengers from numerous timelines to the point when he could not tell one from another. However, the Multiversal War was eventually put to an end, when one of the Variants weaponized Alioth to emerge victorious and created what he called the Sacred Timeline, keeping other Variants from existing in it.

### Exiled to the Quantum Realm

#### Meeting Janet van Dyne

*"What is this place?"*
―Kang the Conqueror to Janet van Dyne[src]
With He Who Remains' death, the Sacred Timeline branched, which allowed his Variants, including Kang, to establish contact with it. Upon their return, the Council of Kangs deemed Kang too dangerous and chose to exile him in an attempt to prevent a new war, since Kang was still seeking to conquer the Multiverse. Kang was ambushed and put into his Time Sphere, where he was banished to the Quantum Realm, a dimension where time and space do not abide to the human laws of physics.

Due to his Multiversal Engine Core being sabotaged, Kang stranded through the realm, until the Time Sphere crashed, and Kang was confronted by the predators of the realm. However, he was saved by Janet van Dyne, who was also trapped in the Quantum Realm, and Kang helped her by shooting down one of the predators that nearly pounced her. He introduced himself as a scientist who traveled into the Quantum Realm before his ship crashed off-course, and van Dyne helped him in need. She asked if the Time Sphere could get them out of the Quantum Realm, and Kang replied that it could take them anywhere they wanted. Van Dyne had the Time Sphere being brought to her homestead near the crash site, so they could investigate together.

#### Monitored by the TVA

*"I got those reports on the Variants of He Who Remains."
"Do any of them know that we exist yet?"
"Nope. I guess one of them caused a little bit of a ruckus on 616 adjacent realm, but they handled it."*
―Mobius M. Mobius and Hunter B-15[src]Following the reformation of the Time Variance Authority, Kang's conquest of the Quantum Realm did not go unnoticed by the organization. However, the TVA did not have to intervene since he was seemingly successfully defeated by Ant-Man, Wasp, Orion, Felix and Cherry Voss. Unbeknownst to them, Kang's Engine Core sent him into the Void, where the TVA couldn't monitor him.

#### Harnessing Alioth

*"To be added."*
―To be added.[src]After being decimated by the Multiversal Engine Core, it simulated the effect of a Time Stick, pruning Kang to the Void. In this void, he found the trans-temporal entity known as Alioth, who recognized the variant as the past self of He Who Remains. Unbeknownst to Kang, he was following a similar path of the latter, which led Alioth to submit to Kang and the latter tamed the entity. Sometime after, he stumbled upon Variants of Loki who he'd kill utilizing Alioth.

#### Alliance with Renslayer

A little while later, after the opening of the Multiverse, Kang came across a woman he didn't recognize, Ravonna Renslayer. However, Renslayer recognized him and, in an attempt to get revenge on Sylvie, Loki, and the Time Variance Authority, joined Kang's Empire with a new quest to conquer the Multiverse. But with the Time Variance Authority and all of Earth-616 believing he was killed in the uprising in Axia, Kang utilized his alliances to become a false ally with the Avengers and the heroes of Eath-616, assisting in the defeat of the Council of Kangs.

#### Attack on the Avengers

*"Is this your heroes? Their blood is splattered on my boots, my face, and the ground. Pathetic."*

## Personality

*"Let me make this easy for you. You will bring me what I need. Or I will kill your daughter in front of you. Then, make you relive that moment. Over and over again, in time, endlessly. Until you beg me to kill you. Do we understand?"*
―Kang the Conqueror to Ant-Man[src]
On the surface, this iteration of Kang was calm and collected, merely showing a desire to escape the Quantum Realm and initially helping Janet van Dyne return to her own timeline to see Hope. He pretended as a traveler lost in time and hid his true nature from van Dyne until the latter found out his true plans through touching his Time Chair. Beneath this calm and controlled demeanor was a ruthless and cunning conqueror, prone to losing his temper when he did not get what he wanted, as he had been trapped in the Quantum Realm for so long and wanted to leave desperately, to exact revenge on his enemies and to conquer timelines. As his plans to start a new dynasty were foiled by Ant-Man and his allies, Kang became increasingly violent and desperate in his ways and decided to kill Ant-Man and his family even though he promised to spare them if they delivered Kang what he wanted.

This Kang held deep enmity for the Council of Kangs who imprisoned him and swore to burn them out of time. This desire of revenge against his enemies was his greatest weakness and blinded his rational mind, preferring to beat Scott Lang ruthlessly for foiling his plans instead of just escaping when given the chance to do so. This also made Kang prone to emotional outbursts when he suffers from a defeat.

Kang was also extremely ambitious and power-hungry. Before his exile, he had conquered a number of realities and killed countless heroes to establish power. He held no empathy for the people of these timelines and simply massacred them all. In his own twisted way, he believed that conquering the multiverse was to save it from his variants in the Council of Kangs and prevent incursions from happening. In this sense, he believed that he was doing the right thing and justified his killings and murderous rampages with a “royal purpose”. Kang, due to his instability, was vulnerable to self-deception, since the main justification for his actions was that he saw a creator god of realities by destroying others. Kang even stated that if he couldn’t escape the Quantum Realm, all of reality would be destroyed by his variants, showing that this Kang truly believed himself to be doing the right thing. Even after being banished, Kang conquered the Quantum Realm which was essentially his prison for eternity, and built his own empire on top of the homes of the original inhabitants, displacing them and forcing them to group as Freedom Fighters, showing that he held no empathy for other people and cared only for his own interests and desires. He also grouped a giant army which he used to monitor and force the inhabitants of the Quantum Realm into oppression, and to wipe out resistance entirely.

This Kang saw normal people living in different timelines as lesser beings and worthless to him. As Kang possessed the ability to travel through different timelines and universes, he was essentially erased from the equation and thus was able to see the Multiverse in its entirety, consisting of countless timelines. Kang sees himself as superior and that others' lives do not matter as they cannot see beyond their universes. He viewed timelines as simply as new lands to conquer so as to "preserve peace" among timelines.

Kang was also deceptive, as shown from how he hid his true nature from van Dyne in the Quantum Realm and merely masqueraded as a traveler lost in time, gaining the trust of van Dyne so that she could help him rebuild the Multiversal Power Core to allow Kang to continue his conquest after escaping.

Kang also exerted an extremely condescending manner to both his subjects and his enemies. Considering his cruelty to M.O.D.O.K., Kang only viewed his subjects as pawns to achieve his own goals as he killed Darren Cross immediately after Cross changed sides and became worthless to Kang. He only saved Cross as he saw what Cross could do for him, viewed Cross as a mere replacement for van Dyne in helping him escape, and treated Cross harshly, demanding him not to speak in his presence. To his enemies, Kang was much crueler, using his powers to render his enemies unable to move and forcing them to work with him, such as forcing Ant-Man into working for him after torturing his daughter Cassie in front of her father, and warning Ant-Man that he would have to see Cassie die endlessly if he didn’t comply, showing Kang’s tendency to mentally torture his enemies into submission. During the uprising, Kang brutally killed many Freedom Fighters without a thought even when the rebels escaped. Kang looked down on Ant-Man, stating that he only “talked to ants”, and underestimated his abilities during the Uprising in Axia as he didn’t expect the heroes to be able to beat him at all, Kang himself having killed countless Avengers from different realities before. Even as ruler of the Quantum Realm, Kang did not show any empathy to the inhabitants whose homes were displaced by Kang himself, and chose to rule with an iron fist, viewing them as lesser beings and thus neglecting their freedom. He also mercilessly killed many members of the Freedom Fighters as they attempted to thwart him in the Uprising of Axia.

Despite his ruthlessness, Kang seemed to at least have some honor, as he offered to change the timeline of Janet van Dyne such that she would not waste decades of time and with her daughter, as his token of thanks for her help in repairing the Time Sphere. He also offered to keep Janet van Dyne's timeline safe from his conquering once he escaped as he sees himself in debt to van Dyne. He seemed to truly see van Dyne as a friend, at least before van Dyne turned against him and joined the Freedom Fighters.

## Attributes

### Powers

* **Kang the Conqueror's Armor Capabilities** - Nathaniel Richards doesn't have any innate powers; instead, he uses neuro-kinetic armor that provided him with numerous abilities.
	+ **Superhuman Strength** - The armor enhanced Kang's strength to superhuman levels. He was able to flick away Ant-Man and Wasp's combo attack with a wave of his hand, an attack that would have knocked out most of the enemies. He was also capable of grabbing and throwing the inhabitants of Axia during the Uprising with ease.
	+ **Superhuman Durability** - The armor enhanced Kang's durability to superhuman levels, allowing him to survive numerous circumstances that would have otherwise killed a normal human. The armor's durability allowed him to survive being knocked away large distances by the Multiversal Engine Core's enlarging, the collapse of his tower, numerous blasts from the Wasp's Stingers, being punched many times against a wall by Scott Lang in his Giant-Man form, being held by Cassie Lang in her giant mode, and being ripped apart by an enormous swarm of technologically advanced ants.
	+ **Superhuman Speed** - The armor enhanced Kang's speed to superhuman levels, enabling him to swat Wasp out of the air before she could react and even flick her and Ant-Man away in their miniature forms.
	+ **Superhuman Agility** - The armor enhanced Kang's agility to superhuman levels, making him capable of evading and dodging attacks from Ant-Man and Wasp even in their miniature forms.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina** - The armor enhanced Kang's stamina to superhuman levels, allowing him to battle against countless Freedom Fighters, Ant-Man, Wasp and Cassie Lang without showing any signs of exhaustion.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes** - The armor enhanced Kang's reflexes to superhuman levels, seeing Ant-Man and Wasp when in their miniature form and flicking them away with a wave of his hand.

	+ **Density Manipulation** - To be added.
	+ **Energy Projection** - The armor allowed Kang to fire blue energy from his hands in the form of singular blasts and continuous beams, both of which could knock down or completely disintegrate whoever they were aimed at. The armor also could project energy in the form of a giant blue shockwave that could destroy anything, or anyone caught in the shockwave, including entire planets. These shockwaves could also be projected from his force-fields. Additionally, the armor could absorb energy fired at Kang, converting Xolum's yellow energy beam into the armor's blue energy and killing Xolum by redirecting it back into Xolum’s head.
	+ **Telekinesis** - The armor gave Kang telekinesis which he could use through various hand gestures, allowing him to move, rotate, and even slowly crush whoever it was targeted at. Kang could also completely remove all motion from a moving object, freezing Janet in place and Jentorra's spear in mid-air. He also used this ability against Scott Lang and Cassie Lang when they were imprisoned, torturing Ant-Man and his daughter to force them into working for him.
	+ **Force-Field Generation** - The armor allowed Kang to create blue force-fields, which could temporarily withstand large swarms of enemies such as technologically advanced ants or intense explosions such as the enlarging of his Multiversal Engine Core to massive proportions.
	+ **Portal Creation** - The armor gave Kang the ability to create blue portals to wherever he chooses. He created a portal to the Multiversal Engine Core directly so that Ant-Man could help him shrink and retrieve the core for him.

After regaining a fraction of his powers and his suit, Kang easily became the ruler of the Quantum Realm, putting down a number of revolutions led by the Freedom Fighters and other inhabitants. He also built his own army and warcrafts to prepare to enact his dynasty when he could escape.
* **Master Scientist** - To be added.

They were no match for him in hand-to-hand combat. He also defeated Ant-Man in a one-on-one showdown with minimal ease. Kang dominated the latter with his formal combat skills, leaving Ant-Man bloody and bruised, whilst incorporating combos and downable punches to the body. Kang's combat form is so superior he almost killed Scott in the process of their showdown.
