8. Kang the Conqueror
First appearance: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
Who is Kang the Conqueror? Kang originally comes from the 31st century and is the man named Victor Timely. One day he discovered that there is a multiverse and joined a council of other Kangs. However, he fell out with the council and was thus held in the quantum realm.
There he met Janet van Dyne, with whom he attempted to escape. However, she recognized his true self and escaped without him. Although he died through Ant-Man, the council of Kangs recognized the danger posed by other beings to their controlled multiverse.
A Kang alone is not the problem, but a multiverse full of Kangs working together is a great danger. He is an expert in time travel and the multiverse, so you can’t just kill one Kang and think that’s it. However, since not much of his power has been seen, he remains at rank 8 for now.
What abilities does Kang have? He is fundamentally a simple human, but his armor has several abilities that have allowed him to conquer multiple alternate universes:
- Superhuman strength, endurance, speed, and reflexes
- He can generate projectiles of energy
- Telekinesis
- He can create portals
- He can manipulate technology
- He possesses an extremely high intellect
- Self-healing
- He is skilled in close and ranged combat
- Through the right technique, he can conduct space and time travel (via Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki)
