Facts About The Next MCU Villain Like Thanos- Kang The Conqueror

Facts About Kang The Conqueror:

The next phase-4 of MCU has been on the making ever since some of our original superheroes exited the Marvel Universe in Avengers: Endgame. If we go by history, we know that each MCU movie has its own villain while slowly building the mastermind and the cruelest one for the main storyline. Though much has not been revealed about the upcoming phase, the casting of Jonathan Majors for Ant-Man 3 as Kang the Conqueror has spilled enough beans.

Kang was introduced during the adventures of the Fantastic Four. He is one of the most dangerous villains of Marvel who can travel through time and aims to conquer the universe, hence the name. He has lived through a millennium and fought countless wars. He has many incarnations due to his time travel and thus carries various identities. He could be the next Thanos-level threat to the new mighty heroes. Let us learn a few important facts about the next MCU villain- Kang the Conqueror.

 1. Hails From The Future

Before becoming Kang The Conqueror in the 40th century, Nathanial Richards was originally born in the 30th century where humans led a peaceful life without evil existence. This peaceful and happy world without hatred irritated and bored Nathanial. He wanted some adventures and spicy conflict which prompted him to travel through time.

 2. Confusing Ancestry- Reed Richards Or Victor von Doom

It was believed that Nathanial Richards was a descendant of Reed Richards since his ancestors were said to be the time-traveler, Nathanial Richards- father of Reed. However, Nathanial sings another tale by claiming that he belongs to Doctor Doom’s bloodline. In his quest to travel through time and conquer the world, the time-machine discovered by Nathanial belonged to none other than Doctor Doom in the 21st century.

 3. When He Landed In The 40th Century

Nathanial Richards was fighting the Fantastic Four through time for ages but he became the dangerous Kang the Conqueror after he accidentally crashed in the 40th Century. The advanced technology and weapons he found over there were way superior to his own original era. The 40th century marked a dystopian era whose values lined well with those of Kang.

 4. Master of Technology

You’ll be surprised to know that a man without a single superpower became one of the most sinister and indestructible villains. The only advantage that Nathaniel Richards aka Kang had was his access to technology and weapons from the distant future. His futuristic armor alone makes him invincible as it provides him super-strength, flight, and the ability to grab any weapon just by raising his hand.

 5. Founded The Young Avengers
