Kang the Conqueror, a prominent Marvel Comics supervillain, is a time-traveling adversary often battling the Avengers and other heroes. Born Nathaniel Richards in the 31st century on an alternate Earth, he is a descendant of either Reed Richards or Doctor Doom (depending on the storyline). His advanced intellect and access to future technology fuel his ambition to conquer and reshape history to his liking.

Driven by a thirst for power, Kang has adopted numerous aliases throughout his time-hopping escapades, including Rama-Tut, the Scarlet Centurion, and Iron Lad. Each identity represents a different attempt to manipulate events and establish dominance in various eras. His mastery of temporal mechanics allows him to create multiple versions of himself, leading to complex and often contradictory timelines.

Kang possesses no inherent superpowers but relies on his formidable intellect, mastery of futuristic technology (including advanced weaponry, time-travel devices, and formidable armor), and strategic brilliance. He is a ruthless and calculating strategist who is driven by the belief that he is destined to rule all of time.
