Kang is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next big bad guy, but his appearances in the universe so far haven’t really added up to a clear picture of a character, let alone a series-defining villain.

But those variants didn’t agree, and eventually the conflict between them spiraled out exponentially through the infinite worlds of the multiverse into an infinite war of infinitely diverse Jonathan Majorses.
