Origins
The existence of Kang the Conqueror itself is quite far complicated, unexpectedly becoming the result of a causal loop in which he has no apparent beginning nor end but only an endless series of events that leads into his cyclic creation.

Early Years
Nathaniel K. Richards had the same exact history with his younger self, right until the latter was seemingly successful in finally defeating his future self Kang the Conqueror for good during the final days of the last known glorious event of the 21st century, recognizably known by many as the "Golden Age of Heroes." Along with this finally accomplished feat, Nate apparently was also successful in rewriting his destiny of becoming Kang himself, after his final defeat.

However, as the Golden Age of Heroes was on the verge of an end, since most modern age heroes on Earth were forced to go into retirement due to old age or had already died, started a new rise of dystopia throughout the entire planet for the next several centuries, known as the "Dark Ages of the Heroic Era."

The 30th Century
After centuries of advancement and warfare, peace was eventually brought to the land by the contributions of the remaining heroes, including Nate, who still continues his heroic crusade as the Iron Lad. Since Nate had brought peace to this war-torn future, he became known as one of it's most renowned legendary benefactors, where he was recognized for annihilating the last known conflict of the Dark Ages that occurred across the entirety of the Eurasian Plate caused by the great hundred years war between Apocalypse and Lord Sinister.

Nate's futuristic and improved technological inventions had also greatly helped him from aging biologically and consistently makes his way living pass into the future, reaching to a time by the end of the 30th century where humanity had gone pass and had been fully recovered from the Dark Ages. During the next several hundred years leading towards the 40th century, this generation's supreme scientists have successfully improved the nature biology to the point that they seem to age much slower than 21st century man.

The 40th Century
At the beginning of the 40th Century, Nate ended up alone and overwhelmed by his painful memories from the hundred years war during the Dark Ages after having to not being able to move on from the death of his loving wife Cassie Lang, who sadly died due to her unique body cells (her lifetime exposure to the Pym Particles) rejecting the effects of the serum that grants most people longevity around the time, causing for Nate to grief his loss for the rest of his life.

He became desperate to end his pain and internal torment he even tried to travel back in time using the time travelling machine on his Iron Lad suit, only to realize that every time he tries and save his wife, it still ends up with Cassie dying in many sorts of ways, traumatizing him even more than he already was.

It was the time of that life-changing moment when Nate himself, now fully consumed by rage & wickedness, and is driven to delusion and insanity having lose his sense and touch with reality, has come to such realization, a realization that there was no such thing as an escape for him to change his ultimate destiny, no to avoid becoming who he truly is in the end, slowly embracing his supposed fate as he determinedly turns himself into his once future self, Kang the Conqueror.

As one of his first acts of violence, Kang mercilessly committed terror attacks, costing a number of countless casualties in a matter of two days. As the series of events have followed for the next few weeks, Nate was able to brought the entire country of the United States onto its knees, having no other who defender to protect and fix everything back to the way things were before.

According to Kang himself, he "barely made any effort" during his first conquest over the country. To maintain control over the countries he has conquered, Kang sought out almost every rogue superhuman (e.g. mutates, mutants, even Inhumans) in those following countries and forced to serve him as his enforcers, and killed the ones who refused to do so.

Ancient Egypt
In a particular point in his life as a tyrannical dictator of the entire American and Eurasian plate, Nathaniel discovered a time machine that was encased inside a large space ship, located beneath the underground areas of the abandoned Baxter Building and having grown bored of his once peaceful time that he turned into a dark dystopian reality, he decided to "play god" and travel back in time to the past using the space ship he discovered, going to the timeline of ancient Egypt. There he set himself up as a Pharaoh Rama-Tut, where he had somehow had a family, until he was ousted from this position by the power of the firstborn mutant, En Sabah Nur (the mutant who would one day become known as Apocalypse), and his loyal followers, the Horsemen of Apocalypse.

Before leaving Ancient Egypt, Kang decided to build one of his artificial intelligence an android body as a stand-in, given false memories from Kang's experience as the Pharaoh and was designated to act as Rama-Tut himself, in an attempt to continue his legacy in the Egyptian culture furthermore, to have a lifespan of more years right before the android naturally died, where it was eventually buried inside the Pyramid of Giza.

Age of Enlightenment
Following his short-lived reign on Egypt, he decided to travel towards a particular point of the 18th century, specifically during the Age of Enlightenment. At some point later in that timeline, the last known female descendant of Rama-Tut's lineage became married to a man by the name of Victor "Timely" Kang, a critical philosopher whose core interest was the nature of space and time, by the time of the 18th century.

Unbeknownst to that descendant, she had basically married her foremost ancestor since Victor was Kang himself in actuality, with the latter's intention to keep his future descendance intact. As a result of his marriage to his own descendant, Victor and the woman had conceived six children, which was indeed an enough amount to keep the future fate of his own kind sealed for the next several centuries towards the modern age, 21st century.

Along with it, his descendant turned wife was also revealed to be the modern founder of a secret religious cult based off her ancestor, known as the Cult of Rama-Tut, much to Victor's delight and fascination for his descendant's loyalty towards his own kin. In dedication to the legacy of Rama-Tut, the group itself had built a strong discreet foundation within the Kang family, the cult itself had stood strong for over centuries until its value had seemingly ended within the family lineage by the beginning of the modern age.

Modern Timeline
Having enough patience to keep on living in his 18th century life for the next ten years, Kang had decided to end his term as Victor by promptly faking his own death, in order go back to his original current timeline, back to the 40th century. As Kang was on his way to riding his spaceship through the timestream, Kang accidentally drops one of his trophy vaults, containing his former Iron Lad armor, and a few other devices he once used, throughout the timestream itself, sending it in an unknown point in time.

At first, Kang has never even cared when his suit had fallen into the timestream, but out of sheer curiosity, and an act of desperation to shut his mind from having too many thoughts on where the vault would have possibly landed, Kang decided to have a shortstop, following the traces of the vault in order to find out when and where it has landed. Following the traces of the suit's vault, Kang's ship has landed in the modern age, respectively at the exact location of where his childhood residence would have become someday, approximately three years in the future.

Along with it, Kang had also discovered that out that was how his parents had found out about the neurokinetic armor below their residence's bunker, in which they would keep it hidden later, thinking that keeping it safe from Nate would be the best decision until he would grow up as an adult. And at that moment, Kang had also thought of an idea of indirectly helping out the younger Nathan Richards achieve his ultimate, inescapable destiny as Kang the Conqueror sooner.

Recreating His own Destiny
In one of his first steps towards his scheme, Nate built an advance version of a L.M.D., containing an uploaded artificial intelligence similarly to those of the Vision who was designated to be named Jonas, giving "him" false memories about having a normal life in New York, with him voluntarily working at the Graham Windham youth development organization, giving him the role that would make him the future mentor of Nate.

At some point in time later on, Kang was so desperate in making his younger self's history morbidly tragic exactly to how he experienced as a child, he traveled in time a few years into the future where Nate was already born, and unhesitatingly burned the Richards Residence, at the night of his own 9th birthday. When the great fire had promptly engulfed their entire home into flames, the younger Nate was almost killed inside his bedroom having suffocated by the smoke, similar to what has already happened to his parents at that night, Kang intentionally rescued an unconscious Nate, and carried the child outside his burning home to keep him alive and the timeline intact.

Later on, Kang decided to six years later when was 15 years old, using the obvious advantage of being mentally linked to his younger self, Kang showed the boy his ultimate destiny through showing him visions of terror, which somehow proved to be a mistake, for at least a short while, until Kang immediately realized at everything that he was doing to Nate has already happened to him when he was fifteen years old, since he still remembers everything. Afterwards, Kang evidently followed both Nate and Jonas through their journey towards discovering the Iron Lad armor, and Jonas finally finding out about his true nature.
