A second Timeless one-shot followed the first a year later, setting up the 2023 publishing slate.Tropes about the character can be found here.

Reincarnation Romance
 Kang the Conqueror (Comic Book) / int_3016de81
comment
Reincarnation Romance: Kang realises when he meets the original Ravonna that he's in one, noting that despite the different appearance she's the same woman as the Moon Knight in ancient Egypt and the warrior from over a hundred years ago. After her death Kang manipulates time to have her reincarnated across the timestream and alternate timelines with the goal of finding one where he saves her, only for her to either die or turn against him. The final variant of Ravonna was in fact the village leader that had given Nathaniel his face markings after he saved the tribal girl Adi and was soon after killed by Kang.

 Kang the Conqueror (Comic Book) / int_3b79029a
comment
Crapsaccharine World: As Nathaniel, he mentioned that he came from a post-scarcity world where you're free to do whatever you want. Nathaniel ended up getting bullied and having his throat cut by a gang of his school tormentors. Underneath the 30th century wealth and technology is a society that's mouldering away. It finally culminates into a global nuclear war that happens in the 40th century and reduces the future to a new age of barbarism.

Foreshadowing: The panel of Kang viewing the various disturbances across the time stream foreshadow several potential events upcoming in the Marvel universe (circa 2022-2023). The 2022 one-shot similarly does this for 2023-2024, while also being a prologue to Jed MacKay's Avengers run.

Continuity Nod
 Kang the Conqueror (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: The comic opens with Kang mentioning how by the time he was 18, he recovered from a cut throat caused by some bullies after a few months. This was established back in Young Avengers which Kang attempted to alter, causing his 16 year old self to flee to the past and become Iron Lad. Since the now 18 year old Nathaniel doesn't recognise Kang, this implies the comic is set before Kang attempts to alter that event or that when the 16 year old Nathaniel was eventually returned to his time it was made sure he would still suffer the injury.

comment
Protagonist Journey to Villain: The book is about how a young Kang will eventually become the conqueror that everyone knows him as. It's Zig-Zagged however since it isn't a true origin story for the original character, as it instead follows a different version created by Kang altering his own history.

Destination Host Unreachable: Ravonna Renslayer reincarnates, but is destined by time to die young. Kang refuses to accept this, and forces time to take her soul and reincarnate her thousands of times to give himself infinite chances to meet and save her. It Goes Horribly Wrong in now giving him infinite chances to see her die or hate and reject him.

 Kang the Conqueror (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b
comment
Continuity Snarl: As per usual for Kang, how this comic fits with his established history is difficult. When Nathaniel meets Rama-Tut and a younger Kang, both mention not having any memory of this event and that they only discovered time travel when they were 23. This suggests that Nathaniel's story is that of an alternate Kang, which is reinforced by him later replacing his alternate selves in certain situations and making different choices. However the story ends with him completing the Stable Time Loop that created him, implying that he either replaced the "original" Kang who trained him or this version of Kang is the canonical version while the others were variants.

comment
Alternate Self The old and resourceful Kang travels through time to recruit his young self and teach him(self) everything he needs to know. The young Kang finds several variants of the same woman, Ravonna, at different points of the timestream. It's later revealed this happened because Kang attempted to revive her across history and alternate timelines to find one where they can be together.
