I hope and expect that the way he portrays that character will be very different from He Who Remains; I liked when they asked what he was afraid of he thought and answered "me". I expect a more ferocious aggressive person who won't be lounging about at this guy did; it will be alpha male posing and posturing and fighting and shooting. Hopefully purple/blue as well like Nebula. In the comics, at least at one point, wasn't it speculated that Dr Doom was also Kang/Immortus/Rama Tut/Nathaniel Richards/etc? That would be a nice backdoor to bring Doom in. Kang isn't actually blue and purple it's his time travel suit. Doom wasn't supposed to be Nathaniel Richards, but was potentially an ancestor like Reed and Sue. His origin is complicated and never totally sussed out in any one interpretation because of all the time travel/multiverse shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 And btw... like I once mentioned, I sold off my 1st Kang's when raising money for a house. I know it is worth 5-6x what I paid for it... but if the character is going to get this cool. I might want to buy a copy back..

Yes I have heard people tell that kang is not that color but I don’t exactly like that interpretation even if it’s correct. But if he’s in that suit that would be fine by me. I think he has a great face for kang regardless I’ve also heard that there are two Nathaniel Richards, it does get very crazy. I think it’s got to be the most complicated character in comics. Maybe Donna Troy is as tough to explain as well? Edited July 15, 2021 by Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 This is the first page he's in from Avengers #8. Seems clear he's a white guy under a purple mask, you can see the skin inside the eye and mouth holes. TupennyConan and Bird 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsgrumble Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I was at a LCS last July and the owner had this for sale for $1,500. Beautiful copy but I thought I'd be able to get one for less money.

And he killed it. I have never had this much fun collecting comics since I was a tween ~ 40 years ago. Actually, it's better than being a tween, because, this time, I know what I'm doing and I have money. valiantman, MattTheDuck, BuscemasAvengers and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crimebuster Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 Avengers Forever #9 has the detailed origin of Kang for those interested. Not sure if it's been retconned any since, but as a Kang fan, it blew me away when I read it at the time.

HighVoltage Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 4 hours ago, fantastic_four said: I read through quite a bit of that, but I saw no explanation for why Immortus and Kang would have different names. Do they have different names because it was a ret-con to merge the two characters together, or did someone give another reason at some point? I don’t have to explain it! Read the material I pointed out & you’ll find out. Enjoy it. There’s a lot of Kang stories out there. Or google it if you want the short answer.

theCapraAegagrus Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Season finale sucked. There was maybe 1 or 2 good moments, including the last scene. RickSp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 This is where I thought the show was taking us as a secondary villain. Quote Loki director, Kate Herron, revealed that a fight scene with Miss Minutes was cut from the first season. In an interview with Marvel, Herron dove a bit deeper into the discussion on Miss Minutes. The writers wanted to keep the character around and had to discover a way to do that. Head writer, Michael Waldron, chimed in that it would be fun to take a seemingly innocent looking character and transform that into something terrifying. Even further, Herron talked about how there was a fight scene with Miss Minutes that got the axe. See below to read Herron's full statement: "Early on in the scripts, we all were definitely united on, ‘We've got to keep Miss Minutes in the story somehow...that devil on the shoulder and trying to tempt both Loki and Sylvie. It was fun that you got a sense of there's something a bit more sinister going on here with her. We always had a version where [Loki and Sylvie] kept meeting her at the Citadel. At one point, we had a fight scene with Miss Minutes in the Citadel; we had all kinds of stuff [for her]." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
