• The Mafia: His first appearance was as a powerless crime boss who was head of the Marvel's mafia equivalent (the Maggia).

Kang

• All the Myriad Ways: Sometimes multiple timeline versions turn up as allies, but in the end the "main" Kang usually kills the weaker ones off himself.

• Death Is Cheap: In the latter days of Steve Engleheart's run, Kang used an excessive amount of an energy from a 'time device' of his, (let's just call it that for convenience's sake,) and in doing so, wiped himself out. And in doing that, also wiped out Rama Tut and Immortus, both of which were future versions of himself. None of this quite stuck...
