Welcome to my brand-new blog, where we’ll dive into the captivating moments of comic history. Picture it as a nostalgic trip down memory lane, guaranteed to transport you back to the time when you first laid eyes on that comic featuring your favorite character. Now, I know not all of you are seasoned comic aficionados, but fear not, we’re here to entertain one and all.
Our inaugural blog post takes us deep into the annals of comic character history, focusing on none other than Pharaoh Rama-Tut, who made his debut in Fantastic Four (Vol. 1) #19, hitting the shelves back in October 1963.
This guy’s got more aliases than you can shake a stick at—Victory Timely, Expand, Blue Man, Blue Totem, Victor Timely III, Scarlet Centurion, Victor Timely Jr., King of Kings (borrowed straight from the Bible), Master of Men, Nathaniel Richards, Lord of the Seven Suns, Iron Lad, Immortus, Baby Kang. Phew! That’s quite the lineup.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of Rama-Tut’s origin story. He’s a time traveler hailing from the year 3000 CE, and his birth name is Nathaniel Richards. Some folks speculate he might be a descendant of Reed and Sue Richards, a thousand years down the line. Nathaniel grew up in a time of unprecedented peace and harmony, but the catch was, he found it all dreadfully dull. So what does he do? He goes full-on adventurous mode and transforms from a robotics student into a time-traveling Pharaoh ruling over Ancient Egypt. Voila, Rama-Tut is born! The Fantastic Four stumble upon this enigmatic character when they, too, embark on a time-traveling escapade back to ancient Egypt.

As a little bonus nugget of trivia, the character’s origin story hints that his father is none other than Ming the Merciless, a sly nod to Flash Gordon. It’s almost as if Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were having a creativity shortage that day, but hey, it adds to the comic charm, doesn’t it?
Let’s break down the excitement surrounding Kang the Conqueror and his pivotal role in the upcoming Marvel movies. Imagine we’re at the heart of the action, with Kang taking center stage, much like Thanos did in the earlier phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Kang, the menacing villain, is set to conclude this phase of Marvel movies, much like Thanos did in the past. He’s not a newcomer, having made his mark in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Loki” Season 1. And now, he’s gearing up to be the Avengers’ newest nemesis, a callback to the classic “Avengers” issue #8.
But Kang isn’t just another bad guy; he’s a complex character with deep roots in the Marvel Universe. His lineage is as intricate as his plots, connected to a web of relatives and ancestors, including the likes of Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic) and even Doctor Doom.
Kang’s most prominent adversaries have been the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, setting the stage for epic showdowns to come.
This character’s rich history and multifaceted nature make him a must-know for any Marvel enthusiast. If you’re hungry for more Kang-related knowledge, check out these references:
