After five weeks advancing his plots, the end of the first season of Loki, the third series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Disney +, is here with the premiere of its sixth and final chapter. The question is now if the arrival of a great villain will occur as expected with the end of Scarlet Witch and Vision. In Loki, the fifth episode featured Alioth, a beast that devours everything that ends up in the temporal void in which the events and series erased by the Time Variation Agency end. But who created the AVT? and is Alioth controlled by someone like in the comics?
Alioth made his debut in Marvel comics in 1993 through Avengers: Terminatix, where he was able to step himself out of the timeline. Nevertheless, Kang the Conqueror is closely linked to this character, and now everything indicates that his arrival in Loki is as much as possible after showing what could be his castle through the portal that is seen at the end of the fifth episode of the series.
Who is Kang the Conqueror
One of the main villains of the Avengers, Kang the Conqueror is an original from the XXX century, where he discovers the technology capable of time travel thanks to the Dr doom. Kang traveled as far as the men’s Egypt, where he became the ruler variation of Rama Tut. However, the Fantastic Four, of which Marvel is preparing a film, were in charge of correcting this alteration, although the Conqueror managed to reach the 20th century to become an adversary of the Avengers.
However, Kang the Conqueror has had more variations in the comics, highlighting Immortus, Iron Lad or Victor Timely. However, his true identity is that of Nathaniel Richards, a possible descendant of Reed Richards, leader of the Fantastic Four. However, in a single episode that remains of Loki it is difficult to deal with a character with so much history behind him, although the chances are truly high given what is seen and knowing that the character is confirmed for the third Ant-Man movie. Thus, the most possible is that Jonathan Majors is in charge of playing the new villain of the caliber of Thanos.
That said, it remains to be seen whether the arrival of Kang the Conqueror comes with a brief appearance summoning viewers to a new Marvel series or movie. In Loki there is only less than an hour left to close a story that has brought us great characters like Sylvie or Mobius.
