Fantastic Four #273 (December 1984) heavily implied that Kang was not descended from Doom, but from Reed Richards' father Nathaniel, via one of Reed's many half-siblings. Building on this, Kang's birth name was revealed to also be "Nathaniel Richards" in What If…? Vol. 2 #39 (July 1992), a fact later incorporated into the primary continuity of the Marvel Universe. However, subsequent publications, such as Avengers Forever #9 (August 1999) and Doctor Doom #6 (March 2020), have continued to present Kang's ancestry as ambiguous, suggesting he may descended from one, both, or neither of the two men, in particular Kristoff Vernard: Doom's adoptive son and a half-sibling of Reed.

As it was when the line began with the TB Spider-Man Classics, the number one most important thing about ML to me is getting new characters. I mean, I can qualify that all day long with things like iconic costumes, eras, etc., but at the end of the day, I have always been about building out the most impressive Marvel Universe possible via this line. After that though, I still a lot of priorities, and one that has been bubbling to the top in terms of importance is getting, when required, new figures of characters who have not been reintroduced into the since after Hasbro really hit their stride with the “Return of Marvel Legends.” I have a list of characters who I still want to see improved, but my shelf really speaks to that as those pre-RoML entrants are getting fewer and fewer all the time.

Nice of Hasbro to include an alternate video game Tony Stark portrait head, though!

Numerous versions/relatives of Kang have assumed this alias, typically with a penchant for death games (setting teams of heroes against one another): Kang has no superhuman abilities but is an extraordinary genius, an expert historical scholar, and a master physicist (specializing in time travel), engineer, and technician. He is armed with 40th-century technology, wearing highly advanced battle armor that enhances his strength, is capable of energy, hologram, and force-field projection, has a 30-day supply of air and food, and is capable of controlling other forms of technology. Courtesy of his " time-ship", Kang has access to technology from any century, and he once claimed his ship alone could destroy the Moon.

Let's count 'em out. There's the first Kang from Other-Earth—we'll call him Kang Prime. There's his far-future self, the all-knowing Immortus, who became obsessed with the Avengers after the Time-Keepers directed him to destroy Earth's Mightiest. That’s kind of inaccurate.
