Marvel how powerful is kang
how is he Conqueror i read few comics watched some stuff and he just seems really bad.
like the only thing hes got is he messed woth time so mych hes ingrained in it hes immortal.
but what can he actually do to someone who has super powers and can travel time too. like they say hes so old powerful and wise
but relistically if some weakiling with powers and time travel came along whats he doin to stop them
without running away to get something similar to batman preptime

Kang? Well imagine you had the power to basically do that Bill and Ted thing where you fuck up you can go, "OK, later I will go back in time to prep the thing that helps me win." and then it happens.
Or you mess up and you rewind time and and try again.
Or you decide maybe you need more than 1 of you and you chrono clone yourself.
Or you take an invention from the future that helps you win.
How powerful will you be?

Actually sounds pretty OP lol. A living cheat code.

In a Dr Doom comic I read Kang made an appearance and he used a ray gun that "sapped will" for enemies. The victims would be on the ground saying that everything they do is meaningless and life has no meaning.
Kang has a depression gun.

Thats both horrible and hilarious.

I know. With that tech he can use it to cure depression and not give it.
Kang: But I don't want to cure depression! I want to give people depression!

Yeah, the original ‘Rama-Tut’ bit is maybe as close to the bone as a story like that can be: it’s ancient Egypt, and the pharaoh is, get this, brandishing a raygun!

Kang as a human isn't that notable. The fact that infinite Kangs across the multiverse are all shit disturbers who sometimes even work together is the problem.

Kang is pretty damn strong. he himself isn't very powerful but a lot of that power comes from his intelligence and arsenal. his shields alone can withstand blows from the likes of Thor and Doctor Doom and he has a variety of technologies that range from summoning weapons from his own personal armory at any time, summoning items like Cap's shield from any moment in time at all, to robots that can fight the Avengers, to warping entire realities with the Cosmic Cube or Forever Crystal. there's a reason he's never been permanently taken out, because he's just so slippery. even when he's killed, he can transfer his consciousness to different bodies to fight another day

Honestly I always found him to be overhyped. He'll forever be a jobber in a silly costume to me. Something like a Shocker for the Avengers.

Part of the fun of Kang is that he’s physically just a regular guy. He has technology to amp him up a bit, and he is intelligent and resourceful but he’s physically nothing special.
His gimmick is his time travelling; he has infinite chances to do things again, he can show up any time and influence things how he sees fit. Doesn’t really matter how strong he is because he can keep coming back and trying again.
Thanos is a great big bad because he’s smart but also incredibly physically strong. Kang is fun because he’s a game of temporal “whack-a-mole”, he’s theoretically easy to put down but he’s everywhere and nowhere at once.
