If Kang and Immortus are being presented as separate in the MCU, there is a chance that Kang is forced to team up with the Avengers to stop Immortus and Alioth for good.
Basically, this is an Avengers-level threat. The Loki Variants seem to have only been able to constrict Alioth rather than defeat him, suggesting that it will take a lot more to return all of that gas back into the atmosphere. With nothing left to rule, Alioth may have no other choice than to serve his new master. There is also the possibility that Alioth is being used as a guard dog against his will, perhaps due to Immortus taking over his temporal domain during his tenure under the Kang moniker. Alternatively, Alioth may have had other plans, perhaps hoping to overthrow Immortus and take over the timestream. So what's in it for Alioth? Perhaps he is content with feeding off of the pruned Variants that find themselves in the Void, giving him some sustenance that would otherwise be hard to come by. The MCU's cloud monster differs here in that he is not necessarily ruling over a stretch of time, but instead acting as a bouncer to the exclusive time club that Kang or Immortus is hanging out in. Left without any other options, Kang and Ravonna were forced to call upon Earth's Mightiest Heroes to quell Alioth and put him back where he came from.ĭespite their adversarial relationship in the comics though, Immortus and Alioth seem to be on far better terms here. Ravonna Renslayer even had her own tussle with the beast, after accidentally freeing Alioth from a Kang-created temporal barrier. After all, if Loki can do multiple Lokis, the MCU can do multiple Kangs.Īlioth was the reason that Kang decided against expanding his rule past 2000 BC, proving to be a meddlesome force that could not be dealt with. Given the Limbo connection and Alioth's association with Kang in the comics, it is very likely that the fortress seen is a version of Castle Limbo which belongs to Kang's future self Immortus (or Nathaniel Richards). Kang typically operates out of the city of Chronopolis in the comics, so the decision to use Castle Limbo instead may hint at the MCU positioning Kang and Immortus as two separate threats originating from the same individual. Rather than existing at the end of the timeline though, Limbo is its own pocket dimension outside of time.
Also taking the form of a purple gaseous being on the graphic page, Alioth operates out of Limbo which is the likely inspiration for Loki's Void. In Marvel Comics, Alioth possesses a temporal empire that rules over billions of years in history, which is twice to thrice as large as the time-ruling villain Kang the Conqueror's own empire. We don't find out who lies beyond its walls, but one of Alioth's comic book rivals may just hint at who's made themselves a home at the edge of time.
