7. Kangaroo The Conqueror

Imagining Kangaroo the Conqueror, a variant of Kang the Conqueror, introduced into the MCU is an exciting and refreshingly humorous thought that has the potential to infuse a dose of levity into the often intense and action-packed MCU universe – especially with this Phase.

Kangaroo the Conqueror could serve as an entertaining and lighthearted pinpoint, much like Spider-Pig, creating a playful and engaging narrative arc. Viewers would enjoy watching a variant of the biggest bad guy who is not just bent on domination but gives us a version of Kang we can at least like or laugh at. This variant can offer audiences both amusement and relief, all while maintaining the integrity of the MCU.

Also, by introducing Kangaroo the Conqueror, the MCU would only further the diversity and innovation already present in its storytelling. The incorporation of such a fun and unique character could prove to be a much-needed hit, providing an opportunity for writers and filmmakers to exercise their creativity in bringing to life a character that is both compelling and comical.

6. Immortus

Though we have briefly seen Immortus during the mid-credit scene in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, this Kang variant would introduce a level of intrigue and complexity that audiences would love. With his unique perspective as the future incarnation of Kang, Immortus embodies the weariness of eternal existence, providing a sharp contrast to the youthful ambition and conquest-driven nature of Kang, his earlier self.

Immortus would give viewers a bridge to explore themes of time, change, and the consequences of absolute power, going beyond the typical superhero narrative by addressing philosophical and existential questions.

The very nature of Immortus, a character who transcends villainy and embodies a profound understanding of time’s inevitable march, would add a fresh and exciting dimension to the MCU and well as expand its narrative horizons further into the realm of time travel and multiverse exploration. Immortus’ deep knowledge of the time-stream could set the stage for quite the spectacle, exploring divergent timelines, alternate realities, and matters of choice and destiny.
