10 Comics Characters Who Have Defeated Kang The Conqueror

I couldn't let this list go by without bringing up Kang's first proper appearance as we know him in the pages of Avengers #8. Since Marvel's execs kinda forced the idea of a team-up book on Stan and Jack without giving them anything resembling prep time, basic story outline beyond "team up superheroes for cash money", or - well - a choice in the matter, it took a while to really hammer out what The Avengers' identity as a book was gonna be.

As such, Kang started out like the rest, a one off villain that would leave defeated and then come back another day so Stan and Jack could have a re-usable rogues gallery to fall back on while they hammered out an identity for The Avengers. So it should come as no surprise that Kang is so quickly defeated in this book by Thor.

While the other heroes of course contribute, it's Thor who manages to land the finishing blow with the mighty Mjolnir, sending Kang running off with his proverbial tail between his legs.
