The Earth on which Kang was born rose from its ashes-and ironically, it was Kang's own ancestor who was responsible for the peace that he found he couldn't bear. Yet as we've seen evidence of recently, Kang actually hails from an alternate reality-a parallel Earth that endured a shocking history of destruction and decimation well before even our first world war. Discovering plans to a time machine designed by his ancestor, he traveled back to ancient Egypt and took on the identity of Pharaoh Rama-Tut, where he planned to establish a base of operations for himself and then begin raids of conquest throughout time. As many 20th century Marvel readers are aware of (it seemed appropriate to actually cite the century, given our subject matter), Kang the Conqueror's road to conquest began in the year 3000 A.D., in an era of peace on Earth that he found intolerable.
