All about Kang the Conqueror!
1 RecommendationsJarvis has wanted to tell y’all about Kang for a long time. He’s been getting ready ever since we saw Kang appear as He Who Remains in the Loki series. Now he’s letting it all out so that you’re prepped for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!
Show notes...
In the comics, Kang the Conqueror is a descendent of Reed Richards and has entanglements with many many characters in the Marvel universe.
Rama Tut is over 70 years old chronologically but appears to be a man in his 40’s thanks to his futuristic technology much like He Who Remains in the Loki series.
The Scarlet Centurion once tried to kill Captain America and Bucky Barnes with a bomb rigged drone plan.
Immortus once became an ally of the Avengers as part of the Infinity War.
Iron Lad is a younger version of Nathaniel Richards that didn’t want to become evil and became a young version of Iron Man and formed the Young Avengers.
You really need to watch this scene with Kang from the Loki series before watching Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania unless they start doing previously-on’s for their movies.
News you can abuse!
Jeremy Renner was in an accident while operating heavy machinery to clear snow, but fortunately it looks like he’s on the mend.
Dave Bautista is relieved to be done with playing a silly Drax–looks forward to more dramatic work.
Jarvis gets to beat Mike at Marvel Snap by the end of the month! We can’t wait!
