The Resurrection of Kang The Conqueror
His return from out of the Beyond Zone explained from the scrapped Avengers: The Kang Dynasty by Micheal Waldron and Jeff Loveness.
The Second Coming of Kang..
After Kang the Conqueror’s fight with Antman, Kang was hurled and shrunk into the Multiversal Engine Core. Kang went subatomic into several thousand dimensions.
Kang ends up exiting out of the multiverse. He enters a “void” that is known as the BEYOND ZONE.
Kang finds himself trapped In the Beyond Zone. The Beyond Zone is strange reality surrounded by an extremely strong probability storm.
The energy from the probability storm gives him the ability to create multiplicity of himself (clones)…similar to what Antman experienced.
Kang’s clones begin to multiply rapidly. The clones try to take superiority over one another and Kang is left fighting them and trying to regain control of his clones along with his mind.
Kang engages in a deep battle with his clones. The war he is having with his clones is also metaphorical as it represents Kang’s fight over his mind/inner demons. It is revealed he lives in regret of not being able to save his pregnant wife and his civilization.
All of this leads to Kang’s mind descending into straight fucking chaos.
Kang understands if he is to get out of here he must conquer his mind before he conquers reality. And by doing this he must come to terms and stop living in regret over not being able to save his pregnant wife.
Quick backstory: Kang Waged a war on the Council of Kangs after he discovered they would one day be responsible for destroying the Multiverse due to them causing incursions.
Kang’s solution was conquering and erasing the other Kangs and their entire universes.
Kang destroys countless universes and timelines. This is a billion times worse then what Thanos did. It’s an unimaginable number of lives that have been killed. Kang’s hands are filled with the blood of trillions and trillions across the Mutliverse.
Kang was eventually defeated and captured by the Council of Kangs. As punishment the Council of Kangs killed his pregnant wife and burned his kingdom to the ground. He was exiled to the quantum realm.
Kang accepts the reality of his situation but he understands that there is no other choice, that he committed these unspeakable atrocities to preserve reality. It is the only way. Even if he has to experience the pain of losing his wife and unborn child a million times, he MUST destroy the Dynasty of Kangs and save the multiverse.
Kang regains control of his mind and his clones stop fighting one another. They begin to bow before Kang.
Kang has learned the strength to conquer his mind. The clones chant his name:
KANG! KANG! KANG!
This finally gives Kang the weapon he’s always coveted: an infinite army of Kang clones that are as exactly as vengeful as he is and have his exact mission objectives unlike all the different types of Kang variants the council of Kangs has.
This now gives Kang the Conquerer the chance to win against the Council of Kangs who have defeated him before. He will now return to the Multiverse more powerful then anyone could ever imagine.
“I will burn them out of time!”
Kang and his army of clones ASCEND out of the Beyond Zone and rapidly through many dimensions of space and time.
As this happens he begins to absorb strong Quantum waves which gives him the powers of the Beyond Zone.
Kang and his legions of clones are now headed to Earth-616 to destroy the Council of Kangs who have conquered and destroyed most of earth and the Avengers.
This was supposed to be Kang’s big arc and it was one of the important subplots in the movie similar to Thanos’ journey to acquire the infinity stones.
Kang being hurled into the Multiversal Engine code was just the beginning for his plans of conquest in the MCU.
What’s interesting about Jonathan Major’s performance as Kang the Conqueror is reminiscent of Shakespeare’s Othello.. a tragic figure who felt betrayed and waited years and years to exact his revenge on those who betrayed him.
Kang’s story in the MCU is now over but it would have been really cool to see him rising up out of the beyond zone and dimensions. A badass moment that we will no longer get unfortunately. This would have been the answer to those crazy “beaten by ants” narratives. Kang is and always will be an Avengers level threat. The writing here was definitely an upgrade over quantumania.
