Ant-Man 3: 10 Things You Need To Know About Kang The Conqueror

4. He Adopted Black Bolt's Son

Since Kang nearly destroyed reality after he kidnapped and adopted the superpowered children, The Apocalypse Twins, you'd assume he learned to be more careful in the future. So what was his next scheme? He kidnapped and adopted ANOTHER superpowered child. This time, he stole Ahura - the offspring of The Inhumans' leader, Black Bolt.

Knowing that Black Bolt would eventually track his son down, Kang devised a scheme to destroy the Inhumans forever. He sent Ahura 13,000 years in the past and spent decades training him in the art of war.

He had Ahura conquer several ancient cities, telling him that these feats would help him forge his own monarchy. Little did Ahura know that Kang was making him kill the Inhumans' ancestors, causing Black Bolt and his family to be erased from existence.

When Ahura realised he had been duped, he killed Kang. Thankfully, the Inhumans learned of Kang's plan and travelled 13,000 years in the past, moments after Ahura was brought there. Black Bolt returned his son to his own timeline, preventing the Inhumans from being erased from history. Because Ahura was removed from this timeline, he never killed Kang, causing the Conqueror to resurrect himself. (Man, time-travel is confusing.)
