10 Comics Characters Who Have Defeated Kang The Conqueror
1. Space Phantom - Giant-Sized Avengers #4
It's hard to resist putting the most humiliating defeat of Kang at the top of this list.
While Kang had never been interested in the character Mantis before, that all changed when he learned alongside her that she is what's known as the "celestial madonna", a cosmic messiah that Kang decides shall be very useful indeed for his own plans.
He spends multiple issues trying to capture Mantis for his own, with The Avengers fighting him back each time. But eventually, it seems that Kang finally emerges victorious when he manages to get his hands on Mantis and escape before The Avengers can catch up. Only for the book to reveal the final punchline: it wasn't Mantis, but rather one of the Space Phantoms, a race of shape shifting space monsters that had taken the form of Mantis to thwart Kang's scheme.
After all of that effort, all of that time, Kang walks away humiliated and with absolutely nothing to show for it. This is why comics fans make fun of you Kang. Let's hope the MCU finally figures out how to make him the least bit intimidating.
