Nathaniel Richards (Kang) (Earth-6311)/Quotes

Put away your childish weapons! They are no more than toys to me!

I shall not battle them in person! I am too wise... too cautious for that! With all the knowledge of the far future at my disposal, it will be a simple matter for me to find another to wage my battle!

Though my own century fears me as the most ruthless conqueror of all time, my triumph is a hollow one so long as the twentieth century escapes my tyranny!

The Twentieth Century belongs to Kang! To Kang!!

Greater men than you have trembled at my name -- Lesser men have fainted at its mention!

Zarrko like all men of your era, you are an egoist and an imbecile.

The Twentieth Century belongs to Kang! To Kang!!

Writers! Pfah!

Avengers! Take action, Avengers-- and swiftly-- for despite your lack of love for me, you must join me, must fight at my side-- to save the life of your companion Rick Jones-- and possibly an entire universe!

There. That is why I consider you Avengers worthy foes. You neither flee nor surrender, whatever the odds. Like myself, you know that combat means something, and honor more!

The hand, Jones. Remove it.

No. You considered yourself gods, Time-Keepers. Unassailable. But in the end, you're only men. Men with powerful technology. With machines. And any machine can be beaten. Any defense overcome. Consider that gentlemen -- and GIVE MY REGARDS TO HELL! KANG -- CONQUERS! Kang is victorious! The Time Keepers are no more!

What's done is done. All that remains is going forward. I was content to die. To let you go on, become your own man, your own ruler, your own legend. It wouldn't have mattered, then. Many a great man began by betraying his father. But now -- now I am here -- and Kang the Conqueror cannot tolerate a traitor in his camp. Not if he is to go on.

As was preordained, as was my fate from the birth of this reality! Reality itself, merely a puzzle for Kang to unlock, that he might claim--with honor--what is his! That I might stand--Kang, conqueror of the universe.

With a roar as loud as time itself collapsing... they arrive. And for the first time in recorded history... I am afraid.

Behold! Infinity's end approaches! This is all that I can afford to let you glimpse. Now you know what is at stake. All your friends will fall. You will fall.

Hard to believe that, in the future, when she grows old, she'll become so powerful that she'll thwart all my plans.

I'm here to kill you, Squirrel Girl!

How does one destroy the invincible?

I come to you humbled. The enemy of your escaped enemy. With your power and my wisdom, I believe we both can be satisfied. Together, we can destroy Kang.

Alexander wept because he could not conquer his world. Alexander wept because he could not conquer himself. But I am not Alexander.

What happened?! What has happened... is that you failed me! The Avengers. Earth's Mightiest Heroes. What a joke.

We all think we can color outside the lines. But in the end, history is written... in black and white. Cheers.

He calls himself the Master of Time! "Gardener of Time" is more truthful! He prunes away the chronal branches deemed by others to be dangerous, reducing reality to a bloodless meadow! But that's not the way of warriors -- of men! I say, let it be a forest! Let it be a jungle!

Story is not written, scholar-- and neither is destiny! History is made! Made by the deeds of the strong! The brave! And destiny is forged! The historians, the students, the gray-beards-- they come in the wake of the strong and write down what the brave have done! But it is the conquerors who change the world!

She's a troll who forges weapons for some of the most barbaric races out there.

I soon discovered that my adventures had triggered an abundance of divergent realities, many of which held copies of myself... [They worry me] [b]ecause they're such idiots--and they're diverging more idiots! I must put an end to this before the name of Kang becomes synoymous with "fool!" Limbo itself provided a solution. The lesser Kangs could be exerminated within this timeless realm without producing more divergent doubles! Observation revealed that two 'brothers' were too clever to be easily eliminated. So I enlisted them into a Council of Time, letting them think they were part of my plan...when they were actually little more than stooges!

All of history is my weapon, you fool. I fight with time itself. You are its playthings. I am its conqueror.

We are not fleeing. Kang does not flee. We are repositioning to a more... advantageous time.
