Hi, folks! Hope all is well!
Just nerdy comic book lore talk, nothing too deep. Just pretty much the thread title
But Kang is one of the classic characters of Marvel. Debuted a bit more than 60 years ago — isn’t that something? How old some of these characters are starting to be? The Silver Age is really starting to be a LONG, LONG time ago
Kang, though, is one of those characters that I never quite understood — in my reading and how I understand comics, OK, yeah, he’s got high-tech armor and weapons, smart, good fighter. OK. Awesome
But is that enough to make you “The Conqueror” of anything? Yeah, Iron Man’s tough enough, Doctor Doom’s a lot tougher with the magic, but at some point, it’s kinda the same thing: Guy in a high-tech suit with some resources
Right? RIGHT??????
That side quest, with all the time dilation, made me finally “get” Kang, after all these years. NOW I GET IT.
The guy who controls localized time effects is OH MY GOSH DANGEROUS
Thanks, Kabam! I know it was a April Fools Joke, but what you guys also accomplished through the design is help me understand why that character is actually an A-List supervillain, and I appreciate it!

FYI a great comic about Kang if you’re interested is “Kang: Only Myself Left to Conquer.” It’s more so a story retelling his origin than showing his feats, but it’s still a damn good story and made me appreciate the character.
Kang goes back in time each time you K.O him for a few times, and make time move slower or faster in his speicals and a counter attack, his animations are sick too
