Kang's armor is a fictional item featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It first appeared in the "Kang, the Conqueror!" story from The Avengers, Volume 1 #8 in September, 1964. A version of the armor also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and first appeared in the 2023 feature film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Description[]

Kang wears a protective multi-component armor that is purple in color, and usually accented by a green tunic. The components provided protection against minimal physical contact and low-yield energy attacks, but still provides full mobility to the user. A high voltage energy transfer, however, can short out the power harness's components. Such was the case when Monica Rambeau used her light-form to interact with the suit. ^[1]

The battle-suit includes a helmet and face plate that completely covers his head, a plated shoulder pad, a utility belt and gauntlets. The tips of his gloves include a laser emitter, and a molecular expander, which has the ability to altar the size of molecules within an object, causing them to expand. Likewise, the affected items mass and density will also increase to direct proportion to its size. Kang can activate this device through triggers in his glove.
