Kang The Conqueror is OP. Dude's a living paradox.

[@Ninjersey1]

Can’t beat Thanos in the comics Thanos wins 89.9999% of the time

[@stunnakamero5931]

@@Ninjersey1t depends on what “winning” means. If you’re just talking about a single variant being beaten by Thanos? Yes, Kang can be beat (even that is very very very difficult), but as that Kang is dying his subconscious will just go into another Kang who will train for centuries just to come back and not only kill Thanos, but humiliate him. So Unless you’re a character like the Beyonder or Infinity or something to erase all of existence, you can never “beat” Kang. it’s impossible!!

[@random_stuffgaming3277]

@@Ninjersey1also another way to beat thanos is too trap him in another universe due to the fact that the infinity guanlet only works in its original universe

[@mrdude88]

I just love how they list all these feat about Kang and how superior he is in comparison to his enemy but in the end he’s always packs up his bag and is force to go back home by these inferior heroes.

[@sirki2885]

my headcannon for that is the separation between him and immortus affected his subconscious so he now has a mental lock on the present and being bored in the future having conquered everything he subconsciously holds back and lets himself be pushed back so he always has a fight to return to

[@bongshark420]

dude has already won though. he just appears to display how superior he is then disappears to leave a lingering fear of the future.

[@ronaldomontora2449]

[@casper2694]

​@@sirki2885that makes sense, where's the fun in being the best if there's no one left to challenge you?

[@AtlanteanVanguard]

Yea kinda... Lol In comic Kang often fights with handicaps to show he is superior. It also shows him as being successful conquering all, and only goal is to conquer revona (his true love he could never have) The latest edition actually shows this live to fight another day mentality, but ultimately leads to him succeeding

As a DC guy with not much marvel knowledge, I gotta admit its pretty bad ass how kangs story is spread across the entire life of the marvel universe. I like how it goes from old school comics to newer ones and back and fourth

[@zyklos229]

Kang is what the Thinker could have been (watch the chair) ... but actually beside the fact, that time-traval paradoxes are always nice to think through, the "plan" of Kang sounds random to me. So why "higher entities" just dont stop him? Or is it kindof an essential part of some equilibrium or is no one able to stop him (except himself yolo)?

[@rob6912]

@@zyklos229 im guessing he reverse flashed it and somehow paradoxes himself. So maybe higher powers just see him as a tiny blip in the cosmos or something. I actually thought he was more similar to vandal savage with his tactical mind, gift to conqueor, and higher intellect

[@zamoth22]

What a storyline. One of the best i have heard.

[@TheDukeOfTiers]

Great video. Long love Kang

[@JShadow6661]

Lol Kang fears Thanos tho. He purposefully avoids Thanos any any timeline possible. Aside from the one time he killed him.

Thanks 4 the educated enlightment

[@bretthart3256]

He's gonna ravage when he finally shows up fully.

[@FatalFist]

It's not that Kang is deadlier, he's just more methodical and intelligent. Being aware of time across all points, gives him an edge Thanos never did. But you can bet Thanos would body him with ease if the two crossed. That's why Kang never fought Thanos directly on his own without meddling events for everything to sync up.

[@kennymike7937]

I agree 👍 In the Infinity War, Thanos did know or his clone did detect Kang's Tech everytime he use it. When Kang and Doom was trying to steal the gauntlet from the Magus.

[@Wintersoldier2099]

This is much accurate compared to this exaggerated post about kang

[@random_stuffgaming3277]

@@Wintersoldier2099the thing the mcu seems to be doing seems to handle Kang differently with there possible being an near endless amount of kangs, so if kang and thanos do fight and thanos wins, another kang will come with more knowledge on how to move forward with the fight, eventually thanos will lose because no matter how many kangs he kills more will arise due to the multiverse being infinite

Great video. Doctor Doom actually conquered Earth in the present day before Kang in a less violent way in AVENGERS EMPEROR DOOM. Avengers # 8 is one of my favourite comics.

[@marvinhoward2698]

If Kang is that powerful why wouldn’t he just wait for the child of destiny to become an adult and battle him/her?

[@jessetaylor8334]

He wanted to raise her to become evil and take over the world together, that’s why he went after her as soon as she was born, to manipulate her mind and ways of thinking at a young age, it’s villains like this that the avangers should truly fear

[@stunnakamero5931]

Kang himself has said he can take over the world at anytime he wants, but he likes to take over the entirety of every timeline that has ever existed. So while Kang might be a God 100 years ago, he would want to come to this present day to be king here too. He’s just too cocky, because he could easily kill all the Avengers before they were even born, but he refuses to.

[@Alternative_Alba]

Basically Kang’s technology is so good. It can take hits from the Hulk himself. And sometimes even kill hulk. Hulk isn’t really immortal. And Hulk needs to be really angry to pose a threat to Kang. But that never happens because Kang kills hulk or neutralizes hulk too quickly for hulk to really do something about it. Kang has all the time in the world to do his thing. And hulk isn’t always in his most powerful state in the comics. Hulk needs time to power up

Was there something that made him go bad, was this explained in the comics?

[@Alternative_Alba]

Basically Kang loves to conquer & do war. That’s his whole deal. He hid try to stop himself from becoming Evil, but fell in love while trying & forget his true goal. Therefore becoming Kang, again. Nathaniel weakness is his love for Ravona. She always ends up making him forget that he was trying to stop himself from becoming evil. Kang/Nathaniel is so focused on Ravona, that even killing his future self, doesn’t help with solving the real problem of him becoming evil. He always screws himself off, even when he doesn’t try to. This guy only weakness is himself & his love for Ravona. It’s the same with Spider Man. Spider man only weakness are Peter & his loved ones

I know it's comics and logic doesn't really mean a whole lot but it for whatever dumb reason it bugs me that there's no explanation for his speed and reflexes.

I know it doesn't matter and critiquing one thing means I should critique everything but I'm weird. Also, maybe he's seen the future so he knows when someone will attack before they even do it?
