10 Comics Characters Who Have Defeated Kang The Conqueror

9. The Black Knight - Avengers #71

The Black Knight, set to appear in the upcoming MCU movie The Eternals, was originally a supervillain, before said villain died and passed his sword and equipment down to his much nicer grandson. Obviously, given this power, the kid wanted to fight crime and join The Avengers, but reputation is a nasty thing, and he had just been saddled with a very messy one.

So, he knew he must appeal to The Avengers, but how? Well, handing one of The Avengers' oldest foes one of his most humiliating defeats is definitely a good place to start. In Avengers #71, the new Black Knight seemingly joins the Masters Of Evil on their latest scheme, but in actuality was sabotaging it from the inside out, culminating in him kicking Kang's butt before any of the other Avengers can get a hit in.

It was not only a fun way to introduce a new Avengers to the cast, but also a hilariously humiliating defeat of the so-called Master Of Time. But definitely not the last humiliation this villain would suffer.
