Kang Is the Main Antagonist in Ant-man 3 but He Is Not "He Who Remains"

In Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania 2023 (Ant-man 3), Kang the Conquer is now identified as the main antagonist, however this character is different with Kang He Who Remains who appeared in Marvel's Loki series aired on Disney+ in 2021. Ant-man 3 is the first film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 5.

In Ant-man 3, a Kang variant - a "time-traveling, multiverse enemy" is trapped in the Quantum Realm. Kang needs Pym Particles to get his ship out of here. To do this, Kang proposes a deal to Ant-man: with the ability to rewrite the timeline, Kang will help Ant-man (Paul Rudd) regain his lost time with his family; In return, Ant-man will find Kang what he needs.

Kang The Conquer was first introduced in the Loki series season 1 (2021) broadcast on Disney+, known as the creator of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) whose job is to rule out any variants that potentially threaten the sacred timeline in the multiverse to ensure that the timeline is kept unilinear (unbranched).

Kang in Loki is recalled by himself as "He Who Remains" - that is, the only Kang left after eliminating all other Kang variants. After "He Who Remains" Kang was killed by the female Loki variant, the TVA collapsed, the universe's timeline began to branch out, and it's possible that many other Kang variants have popped up across the multiverse.

Kang has been described by Loki season 1 lead writer Michael Waldron as the MCU's "next big cross-movie villain", while Ant-man 3's writer Jeff Loveness described Kang as "top-tier, A-list Avengers villain". To build Kang's image in this film, Loveness researched different versions of Kang from DC Comics such as Rama-Tut and Scarlet Centurion and described him as an "infinite snake eating infinite tails" in being "a man literally at war against himself". Director Peyton Reed likened the character to Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and Julius Caesar.

Actor Jonathan Majors who played Kang had to apply a new way of acting for this character in Ant-man 3 because the personality, psychology, and physical appearance of this variant are completely different from Kang in the Loki series that he played before. .

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is scheduled to premiere in Hollywood, Los Angeles on February 6, 2023, and will be released in theaters on February 17, 2023.

What are the strengths and weapons of Kang in his universe conquers?

The 2021 Loki series has officially set the environment for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as … multiverse, with multiple timelines, realities and each and every character having a chance to give rise to one or more variants of their own. Given this context, every Marvel character, even dead, are likely to reappear on screen not in flashback, but in their real-time variant form.

Marvel can bring Thanos back to life on this the 3rd conquest of Earth, or maybe the Deviants want to rule the Earth if we consider the movie Eternals - Immortal Race is coming to the end of the year. 2021. Another high possibility is that a mutant of Kang in Loki will become a villain. However, the new phase of Marvel Cinema will last many years, many new Avengers will be identified, and many villains will appear instead of a single villain.

If the scenario in the Comics repeats, there will be a great war between the Avengers and Kang. Kang easily conquered the Earth in the 40th century when it was devastated by war, and at that time it was no longer and green and resourceful planet. Kang wanted to conquer a green Earth in his past as it is now in the 21st century.

So what is Kang's strength in the fight with the Avengers?

Basically, Kang is an ordinary person, with no superhuman abilities, however he has the most advanced technology-integrated weapons, armor and tools that he has amassed throughout galaxies and throughout the ages.

KANG's ULTRA-DIODE RAY GUN

Kang's appearance are often associated with this giant gun - it's his iconic.

If fired at low frequency, ultra-diode rays from the gun can change the mind and will of the subject, making them hypnotized and believe in every Kang's words and follow Kang's every commands. If Wanda - Scarlet Witch's hypnosis or enchantment brings a subject into a dreamscape for a short time, ultra-diode rays can cause the subject to be completely controlled by Kang for a long time, even years.

If fired at a high frequency, the ultra-diode will trap the targets and prevent them from exercising their supernatural powers or magic. In Marvel Comics, this magic gun helped Kang easily neutralize the power of the Avengers and capture them.

In Loki Season 1, it is possible that TVA's Headquarters is located in the energy field of the ultra-diode that makes it impossible for Loki, or any other superhero or mutant, to deploy their powers; the infinity stones also become so useless. This magnetic field may also be the reason why TVA's staffs completely believed in Miss Minutes' words, believed in TVA's glorious purpose, and totally forgot about their true identity and past. And yes, it's just Fancimes' theory and we hope this would be properly explained in Marvel's next movies and shows.

KANG'S PURPLE BATTLE ARMOR

Purple - yes, it's the color of Kang.

Kang's battle armor is produced from a rare synthetic alloy from the 40th century. It is neuro-kinetic, meaning it responds to his subconscious thoughts and he can operate it just with his thoughts instead of using voice commands or touch-pad.

Though Kang has no powers, the armor endows him with rough equivalents of super-human abilities, just like the Red Armor for Tony Stark.

Enhanced Strength: It empowers Kang the ability to lift upto 5 tons.
Durability: The armor has a built-in force shield that extends outward to 20 feet in all directions like sphere which can withstand even a nuclear strike at point blank range.
Anti-Gravity Device: A device in the gauntlets of the armor allows him to render objects weighing up to 2.2 tons weightless.
Hologram Communicator: It's built into the right wrist, helps him to stay in contact with his bases from any point in the timeline.
Time Travel: The armor can create temporal divergences, giving him the ability to travel through and manipulate time, in a more convenient way than the TemPad.
Concussive Bolts: Kang can fire concussive blasts from the finger tips of his gauntlets, with the force of several tons of dynamite.
Weaponry Supply: By cracking his fingers, Kang can summon any number of weapons through the timelines instantly.
Electric Shock: By flexing his muscles, Kang can activate a powerful electric shock.
Survival Kit: Kang's armor has a self-contained atmosphere, 30 day supply of food, and waste disposal system. This helps him survive in any enviroment and atmosphere, even without oxygen.
Body Transference: Kang employs nano-technology in his helmet's circuitry that enables him to transfer his mind into a new body at the moment of death.

As described above, his armor's performance is much more than a state-of-the-art battleship. Kang once said, his armor is capable of crashing the moon to pieces.

KANG'S TIME-SHIP

It is a non-aerodynamic, space-worthy vehicle, and is mostly a housing for the large energy-generating devices that power the Time Machine.

The time machine bridge the timelines by generating a chronal-displacement internal field, enabling a being or object to break through the "reality walls" of the current timeline into the trans-temporal realm of Limbo, from which all time eras and alternate realities are accessible.

The Time Machine can send Kang through time unencumbered. It can also remotely snatch people or objects from other timelines and places. The entire time machine can also move itself in apparatus with him, this helps him to have immediate access to the machine, and he can safeguard against its unauthorized use.

It has view screens permitting Kang to peer into other times and places by the dispatching of flying, micro-video cameras able to broadcast through time. He also has a wrist-sized viewscreen monitor that can be tuned to the master video screen.

INFINITY STONES

The Infinity Stones are extremely valuable to the Avengers and they had to sacrifice a lot to get, get back or just borrow any of them. But for Kang, these stones are just paperweights for TVA staff.

Kang can have many of such stones, after erasing countless other timelines. And in theory, Kang could easily possess any powerful weapons in the galaxy just by capturing a variant of the owner.

As in Episode 5 of Loki, in the garbage dump of the Void, we find Thor's hammer Mjolnir lying rusty like a scrap and Kang didn't mind to get it, among other "valuable" things.

We are all looking forward to the epic battle between Kang and the Avengers, of course if Marvel had a plot for it!

How Kang became the Multiverse Conqueror in Marvel Comics? 👦

The 2021 Loki series has introduced a popular character in the Marvel Comics but never appeared before on any Marvel movie, Kang the Conqueror. Finally, Kang is revealed to be the Time Keeper - the founder and ruler of the TVA Time Variance Authority that specializes in pruning time variants and their realities in order to maintain a single timeline. So why and how Kang acquired the title "the Conqueror of the Universes"?

Kang's cinematic background we know so far comes only from what he told Loki and Sylvie in the final episode of Loki Season 1. While it's possible that Marvel will build Kang's character in cinema differently to that in comics, the title "Conqueror" is used in both areas.

KANG IN THE 31ST CENTURY

In the Marvel comics, Kang is originally Nathaniel Richards, a 31st-century scholar passionate with history, science (especially physics), the arts of manipulation (roughly as a psychologist), and most of all, the ability to "steal" other people's technology. Nathaniel accidentally discovered the time travel technology created by Victor von Doom and used it for his later endless time travelling.

KANG IN ANCIENT EGYPT

Bored with the peaceful and beautiful reality of the 31st Century, he decided to travel back in time to ancient Egypt on a Sphinx-shaped time-ship and became Pharaoh Rama-Tut. As a speculator for the future, Nathaniel was hatching a plan for En Sabah Nur to succeed him on the throne.

En Sabah Nur was destined to become the mutant Apocalypse (refer to the movie X-Men: Apocalypse 2016) – one of the most powerful characters on the planet and Nathaniel wanted to be the one in control of the most powerful one.

However, Nathaniel's plan (in the incarnation of Pharaoh Rama-Tut) was ruined before it could be materialized when he was defeated by the Fantastic Four when the team accidentally fell into the Ancient Egyptian timeline.

KANG IN EARTH IN THE 20TH CENTURY

The depressed and disappointed Nathaniel decided to travel back to his main 31st Century, however a time storm blew him into the 20th century on Earth. Here, Kang embodied Scarlet Centurion and plotted to wipe out the Avengers.

To do this, he traveled back in time to a point when the Avengers were just beginning their careers, trying to create a subversive event (like the nexus in Loki) that led to the creation of an alternate reality in which variants of Avengers existed. He controlled the variants' minds with his Ultra-Diode Ray.

Nathaniel then mobilized this variant team of Avengers to kill the mainstream Avengers, however the Avengers discovered the truth and managed to get Nathaniel out of the 20th century timeline.

KANG IN THE 40TH CENTURY

The failed and deeply-depressed Nathaniel wanted to return to the guise of Pharaoh Rama-Tut in ancient Egypt, but he was drawn to the 40th century. And here the time has come for him.

He discovered a war-torn human society in which people didn't understand the technology they were using (perhaps this is true, when everything is available, people just use them and gradually forget how they were made).

Here, Nathaniel with his centuries of scientific knowledge easily crafted the iconic purple armor, possessed the cutting-edge weapons and technology of the time, and it didn't take long for him to conquer and rule the Earth.

One earth seemed never enough for him, he soon moved on to conquering the entire galaxies and officially called himself Kang the Conqueror.

KANG AND HIS VARIANTS

Kang's continuous time travel created nexus events that overturned the main timeline, giving rise to many different timelines and many variants of Kang. What all these variants had in common is the ability to time travel. In that way you can imagine how many “nexus” events were being created exponentially!

Later, in Episode 6 of Loki, Kang told the two Lokis, “To some of us, new worlds meant only one thing, new lands to be conquered. The peace between realities erupted into all-out war, each variant fighting to preserve their universe and annihilate the others. This was almost the end, ladies and gentlemen, of everything and everyone."

If Kang's accounts were true, then the Kang in Loki may have not been actually Kang the Conqueror, but a Kang Variant instead. This Kang Variant with the TVA and Alioth had quelled the multiverse war, which meant eliminating, maybe pruning, the other Kangs (possibly even the mainstream Kang - Nathaniel) to become He Who Remains - the sole survivor among all Kangs.
