In the comics, Kang the Conquerer has been ascribed to be a 31st-century time traveler who travels to ancient Egypt to capture Apocalypse. His plans soon go awry which results in him becoming what he is known as today i.e., Kang the Conquerer. The antagonist’s ancestry is something that hasn’t been answered properly yet. This theory takes a wild guess that just might prove to be correct.

Kang: Descendant of Reed Richards or Doctor Doom

Kang the Conquerer goes by the name of Nathaniel Richards in the comics. His real identity is a 31st-century time traveler who is a direct descendant of Reed Richards. However, there is also a theory that connects the modern-day conquerer to Doctor Doom.

A wild theory is taking roots in the origins of Kang. The earlier debate about whether he is the descendant of Doctor Doom or Reed Richards is solved by a new theory claiming both! Kang the Conquerer is the descendant of both of these geniuses.

It was Doctor Doom’s time travel technology that Nathaniel Richards discovered way ahead in the 31st century and used it to travel back in time to take Earth by making the mutant En Sabah-Nur who would later be known as the mutant Apocalypse.

Kang uses the time travel technology left by Doctor Doom.

But this is not where it stops. In the comics, there is a part where Doctor Doom and Kang’s fate are intertwined when it is implied that Doctor Doom is a variant of Kang and not the other way around. A section in the comics also suggests that they both might be the same person as well!
