Who’s your favorite Marvel big bad? Let us know in the comments below!

“if you think i’m evil, well wait until you meet my variants” gave me chills!! best line in the finale.

[lucasmarinho]

Kang: Rules multiple timelines
Thanos: Death's simp

[mlggamer]

I feel like Kang is definitely going to win the intelligence category. He's basically a walking encyclopedia about time travel like he puts Doc and Marty to shame

[nickwilliamson]

Seeing clips from "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" makes me sad. It was the best Avengers cartoon out there.

[diamondmasterxd]

My favorite villain in Marvel is Dr. Doom. His backstory is what gives him my #1 spot.

"The Council of Kangs."
The people of Marvel Studios need to make it happen possibly for the 5th 'Avengers' movie.

Death never accepts Thanos in the comics effectively making him immortal, because of this he becomes the sole ruler of the galaxy. He kills galactus, imprisons the hulk, and defeats the silver surfer (who has Thor’s hammer) with the annihilation wave and he still wins without any infinity stones. The only reason king Thanos loses is because younger Thanos kills him. Kang doesn’t stand a chance against that.

[mlggamer]

"To challenge them is to court death"
Me: now I understand that line many years later. Wow you see why he smiled at that

[mr.decencykeepinitreal]

Kang the Conqueror introduced since the mid 1960s.
Thanos introduced since 1973.
Two of the Avengers' greatest enemies of all time.

[mr.decencykeepinitreal]

Fun fact: Kang once easily defeated Thanos in the non-canon Marvel comic book version.

[garvwadhwaney]

I just realized Kang is just Marvel's version of Rick Sanchez. Brilliant sociopathic scientist who can travel to multidimensions whose alternate version keeps killing each other.

As a long time comic reader, I have to say that it generally depends on the situation regarding these two. Both could win in a fight with one another with the right weapons and mind set. At the end of the day though, I do believe Kang would win. He's a time traveler with knowledge of different timelines. Not to mention that there's always more than one of him around. Plus let me not get started on his intelligence. Again, I'm saying this as a long time comic book reader.

Can't wait to see just how powerful the MCU version of Kang is in the future.

No, no, no... The infinity gauntlet is not Thanos's weapon, but a plot object. We've seen the gauntlet wielded by others and Thanos only uses it minimally in combat, because he doesn't own/fully control the gauntlet. The infinity gauntlet falls into the [Intelligence] category, where Thanos figures what infinity stones are and ordered the craft of the gauntlet.

[minutestoabetterday-strongwolf]

Thanos doesnt stand a chance unless time stone is better than the time travel device Kang is using. Thanos snaps fingers bum, universe destroyed and he is exhausted and almost dead cause of the power of the stones. Then Kang just comes back from the past - he went to the past before thanos snap and came back after his snap GG. Also Kang allowed Thanos to gather all the stones - it was Kangs plot.

[Mirrorcomics]

Kang is a multiversal threat, he could find anything to kill thanos, he could make the infinity stones into paper weights

Edit:if the avengers can kill a weakened thanos there’ no saying what kang can do

[kaushiksarker]

Kang's minions use the infinity stones as paperweights. Remember!

[TeamRemForever]

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE KANG IN THE MCU!!!

[MrLePov]

I agree with most of the scores, except 'Origins', mainly because to me it is massively more interesting for Thanos to be motivated by courting death, rather than Kang wanting to rule just for the sake of ruling.
