Role in the series[]
Kang finds out his timeline is being erased, so he travels with his troops in the Damocles base to the present day to destroy Captain America, who seems to be the cause by surviving his apparent death in World War Two. Right before the time jump, Kang's wife (Ravonna) is trapped by the erasing effect but saved by Kang, which leaves her in an intermediate existence state.
Kang faces the Avengers, who refuse to turn Cap to him. After a fight, he returns to Damocles and sends an invasion force to take Earth. The Avengers defeat part of this force and then find Damocles, where they face and defeat Kang, who is defeated and jailed. Henry Pym and Reed Richards take care of Ravonna to find a way to save her.
Time later, Kang remained imprisoned at 42. As the Avengers were becoming a problem in different timelines, the Council of Kangs decided to release him with the purpose that he remove the Avengers from the timeline. After escaping, Kang went to Stark Industries to use the arc reactor against the Avengers. Before disappearing, Iron Man asks Jarvis to execute the program New Avengers. Later, Kang faced the New Avengers. Eventually, he was defeated by the New Avengers, transported to another timeline and meets his final defeat for good.
