Has Kang the Conqueror appeared in Moon Knight? The Marvel series has paid tribute to this villain and nobody had caught him.
As Erik Voss of New Rockstarsthe third episode of moon knight includes a spectacular easter egg that is directly related to Kang the Conqueror. We are talking about one of the most incredible villains that he has given Marvel throughout its history and that we have already known in the MCU Phase 4. Erik Voss noticed that the design of a jacket worn by a thug who was chasing Marc SpectorOscar Isaac it wasn’t quite normal. The young follower Arthur Harrow he ended up committing suicide. However, he left us a tremendous tribute to Kang the Conqueror in moon knight by the way.
During the fight against this thug, viewers were able to appreciate the design he sported on the back of his jacket. He looks like the head of a sinister pharaoh without a face. It is bordered by bluish-green and purple spots. These colors are what Kang the Conqueror wears. However, the pharaoh’s jacket is not only related to Moon Knight. He could also relate to this new Marvel Studios villain that we met in the series of Loki.
But what is the relationship between the villain and Egyptian mythology?
In the comics, the 31st century scientist, named Nathaniel Richards and known as Kang the Conqueror, he used robots and traveled back in time to Ancient Egypt. the character of marvel comics settled in the area and rose in that Egyptian civilization as the pharaoh Rama-Tut. The jacket we see in moon knight it is made in such a way that it reminds us of Rama-Tut. This includes a headdress that is identical to the one worn by Nathaniel Richards in issue #4 of Avengers Vol 7.
Voss and the New Rockstars team confirmed with team members from moon knight that this was an intentional choice on the part of Marvel Studios. They deliberately designed the jacket for the television show of Disney+. It has been speculated that when Ethan hawke remember in the first episode the first avatar of the goddess Ammit who betrayed her… That avatar could have been Kang the Conqueror during the time he traveled to Egypt in the comics.
