I wanted to add in the 70s, a NY comic con was moved to a different hotel than the one advertised. I got to a cab to go to the new place only to find it in use by Mr Giordano. He invited me to ride along with him. When we got there, he paid for the ride. He was a real gentleman.
How about Kang and Brainiac together?
If I were CEO of Marvel Films, I'd just do what was originally done in the comics. Introduce him as Pharoah Rama-Tut in the next FF sequel!
The Steve Englehart run on The Avengers is still my all-time favorite so, yes, I would LOVE to see Kang make it to the MCU. They could tie it in to Endgame by saying that all the time traveling the Avengers did brought them to Kang's attention. Kang could summon forth champions from various eras to challenge the Avengers. This could lead to all sorts of cool cameos from Marvel's past (Two-Gun Kid, the original Black Knight) and future (Spider-Man 2099). I would love to see Kang summon the Frankenstein Monster like he did in the original Legion of the Unliving story, but that could get kind of dicey.
I like det_Tobor's idea. Maybe for tomorrow's cover? ;)
When I first saw just the logos, I was halfway hoping that Kang would be the Rigellian from The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes.
I've heard at least one fairly reliable source state that RDJ will be back in a Phase 4 MCU project, not counting What If...?. Which one is left to speculation, but my own guess is Loki (since that will apparently also feature trips to the past).
Sonofjack has my very thought: All this time traveling has attracted Kang's attention. If the costume is comics-accurate enough, they could even identify him as the same Kang that bothers the Earth-616 Avengers!
(I'm not clear on what would be "dicey" about using Frankenstein's Monster, though. There certainly would be no copyright issues, since he's in the public domain.)
And of course, if we're going to have Kang, we'd naturally have his other personas, including not only Rama-Tut but Immortus and probably Iron Lad as well.
And while Kang and Brainiac sounds cool, I think I'd like to see Kang in battle with a time-traveling villain who hasn't even appeared on the blog yet (or at least doesn't have a tag): the Time Trapper! (It might take a third-party source to keep them from "breaking time," such as some of the folks displayed as "Guest Stars" in #382!)
What I meant when I wrote that using Frankenstein's Monster would be dicey is that the temptation of making him resemble the classic Universal version would be great. For most of the general population, that version IS the Frankenstein Monster. And while I know that the character is in the public domain, I believe that the classic Universal look is still trademarked and/or copyrighted. I know that there have been other versions of the Monster in various media over the years, but the Universal version is still the icon.
Along with the MU Kang and the Simpson's alien, add both the TOS and the DS9 versions of Kang the Klingon to the Council of Cross-Media Kangs.
KANG KANG KANG went the trolley.
Ross now that he's had the experience hows about meeting Spidy with Robin the ex boy wonder? or Rkbin and Tarzan?
@Sonofjack: The "classic Universal look" for Frankenstein's Monster has been used too often by other creators to be Trademarked: Marvel, DC, Young Frankenstein, The Munsters... that's just for starters. I'm pretty sure I could find at least a half-dozen cartoons and other children's fare from the 20th century, especially the 60s and 70s, to say nothing of costumes still available from multiple manufacturers. If the look was ever Trademarked -- which I doubt -- it's long lost by now.
Bob Greenwade,

The Munsters is owned by Universal.
Young Frankenstein is a parody and therefore protected under the "fair use" doctrine of copyrighted material. (The monster in Young Frankenstein had a zipper in his neck!)
But the important question is why are you making such a fuss over an off-handed comment I made? Do you scrutinize everyone's posts this carefully?
Sonofjack: I just wanted to make sure that whichever one of us was mistaken could get things straight. Right now that appears to be me; I'll take a look at your link, and possibly learn something that I didn't know before (for which you'll have my thanks).

DC has been using their own version of Frankenstein Monster for many, many years. They also have their own version of the Bride.
It's great seeing the real Jor-el from Earth 1's universe. Not any kind of fan of the recent movie version or the counterpart in the current Superman stories. Wish he could come back for more stories.
@Hyram: I think Spidey and Robin have already met here about 3 or 4x.
@Carycomic, I'm talking about the ex boy wonder of earth #2
I think he's been permanently rendered out of Earth-STF continuity. No doubt the price he had to pay in order to defeat Kang back in Issue #1744. To say nothing of the two subsequent "Bat-tles" waged with Kang is Issues #2274 and #2390!
@Anonymous: I couldn't have put it better myself. :-)
Of course the MCU will conveniently tie-in the fact that former Nazi scientist Dr. Abraham Erskine invented the Super Soldier Serum from the notes of Victor Von Frankenstein's secret tissue regeneration formula that was responsible for giving the Monster life. It will be this same tissue regeneration that will restore Steve Rogers from his current temporary aging dilemma in the movies.
Kang plays a major role in the Marvel Lego Superheroes game, and adds a good deal of humour to it, with his voice booming out from speakers all over the conglomerate city he creates, Kangopolis (what else?). The acting is superb, with just the right mix of stern authority and slightly panicky disorganisation.
Well he's not all bad. He does like animals especially kang aroos.
How long was that one bouncing around in your head? ;-)
