to:

** The young Kang finds several variants of the same woman, Ravonna, at different points of the timestream timestream. [[spoiler:It's later revealed this happened because Kang attempted to revive her across history and alternate timelines to find one where they can be together.]]



* ContinuitySnarl: As per usual for Kang, how this comic fits with his established history is difficult. When Nathaniel meets Rama-Tut and a younger Kang, both mention not having any memory of this event and that they only discovered time travel when they were 23. This suggests that Nathaniel's story is that of an alternate Kang, which is reinforced by him later replacing his alternate selves in certain situations and making different choices. However the story ends with [[spoiler:him completing the StableTimeLoop that created him, implying that he either replaced the "original" Kang who trained him or this version of Kang is the canonical version while the others were variants]].



* ConquerorFromTheFuture: Per the title and solicits, Kang ''is'', ''was'', and ''will become'' a conqueror. The book is about a younger Kang attempting to avoid this.

to:

* RaceLift: Kang continues to meet what appears to be reincarnations of Ravonna, both being black much like the version from ''Series/Loki2021''.
* ReincarnationRomance: Kang realises when he meets the original Ravonna that he's in one, noting that despite the different appearance she's the same woman as the Moon Knight in ancient Egypt and the warrior from over a hundred years ago. [[spoiler:After her death Kang manipulates time to have her reincarnated across the timestream and alternate timelines with the goal of finding one where he saves her, only for her to either die or turn against him. The final variant of Ravonna was in fact the village leader that had given Nathaniel his face markings after he saved the tribal girl Adi and was soon after killed by Kang.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ContinuityNod: The comic opens with Kang mentioning how by the time he was 18, he recovered from a cut throat caused by some bullies after a few months. This was established back in ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' which Kang attempted to alter, causing his 16 year old self to flee to the past and become Iron Lad. Since the now 18 year old Nathaniel doesn't recognise Kang, this implies the comic is set before Kang attempts to alter that event or that when the 16 year old Nathaniel was eventually returned to his time it was made sure he would still suffer the injury.

THE ORIGIN OF KANG!

The man called Kang the Conqueror has been a pharaoh, a villain, a warlord of the space ways and even, on rare occasions, a hero. Across all timelines, one fact seemed absolute: Time means nothing to Kang the Conqueror.

But the truth is more complex. Kang is caught in an endless cycle of creation and destruction dictated by time and previously unseen by any but the Conqueror himself. A cycle that could finally explain the enigma that is Kang. And a cycle that begins and ends with an old and broken Kang sending his younger self down a dark path…
