In this timely & time-filled episode, we explore the complicated history of Kang the Conqueror, from his first appearance in 1964 to the Council of Kangs' war on each other (and the Avengers) in the 1980s to his recent and upcoming depiction by Jonathan Majors in the MCU.
Ep. 83 What if Kang the Conqueror tried to kill himself over and over again?
Earth-267 & 616 (Marvel Comics), as seen in Avengers #267-269
It's the man of the hour! (Hour, time, get it?) In preparation for his appearance in the MCU's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, we are exploring the complicated history of Kang the Conqueror (and Rama-Tut, Scarlet Centurion, Immortus, etc). We start with Kang's first appearance back in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Avengers #8 before visiting (for the first time) Mark Gruenwald's zine Omniverse. We time travel to 1986 for our first "multiverse" that's really the 616 (with a brief stop in Earth 267) as we are introduced to a Council of Kangs bent on destroying each other (and the Avengers). We wrap up by discussing Jonathan Major's performance on the Loki television show and what lies ahead for the character in the MCU. We also chat Kang vs. Doctor Doom, the brief time Storm and Colossus were on the Avengers (kind of), and more.
