Kang vs. Thanos: Who is stronger? Kang is stronger than Thanos, with the Conquerer being much more challenging to defeat than the Infinity Gauntlet-wielding villain.
Based on Kang's ability to hold his against entire Avengers teams in Marvel Comics, Kang killing Thor once felt plausible, but the odds of that happening feel much slimmer now. In Quantumania, Kang lost to the combined forces of Ant-Man, the Wasp, Cassie Lang, Hank Pym, and his ant army.
Kang the Conqueror is a time-travelling conqueror from the 41st century and an adversary of the Avengers (Mainly Captain America as an archenemy of destroying his timeline for the victory of World War II).
Iron Lad assembled the Young Avengers to stop his future self. In fact, Iron Lad did kill the older version of Kang the Conqueror.
Galactus was killed by Thor during the "Herald of Thunder" story arc in Thor (vol. 6) #1–6 (March 2020 – August 2020), and reappeared after a two-year hiatus in Fantastic Four (vol. 6) #45 (July 2022) — the final issue of the event "Reckoning War" — where Galactus is resurrected by his former heralds.
Eros, also known as Starfox, is a member of the genetically engineered Eternals. Created by Arishem the Judge in the World Forge, he was stationed on Titan, joining the royal family as a prince and becoming the adoptive brother of Thanos.

Being surprised with Nebula's trust in what he had said, Thanos thanked her for believing him and finally admitted that perhaps he had treated her too harshly. Before he could say anything else, an enraged Thor decapitated Thanos, killing the Mad Titan.
The Asgardian Son of Odin was extremely close to ending Thanos at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. After gaining the powerful weapon Stormbreaker, Thor becomes the wielder of the most powerful weapon in the universe. Stormbreaker is capable of killing Thanos outright, and only Thor is currently worthy of wielding it.
Well, it is highly unlikely that Tony Stark will return since there are high chances of him being replaced by young Avenger called the Iron Heart, as introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
1 Galactus
Marvel has many powerful immortals, but few can match Galactus. The World Devourer controls the full might of the Power Cosmic, which gives him near complete control of energy and matter.
Hercules / Zeus
In fact, he is considered by many authorities to be the physically strongest character Marvel has ever created. According to legend, he replaced Atlas in holding the sky on his shoulders.
and Marvel Studios officially released a scene ahead of Ant-Man in the west Quantum media that confirms that King the Conqueror killed Thor in another. timeline.
Tiamut's sentiment for Earth is reflected slightly in the MCU's Eternals, but the comics show him off as an entity that is capable of defying all of creation. Even though there are threats more powerful than Galactus and the Celestials in Marvel Comics, Galactus has never feared anything as much as he's feared Tiamut.
Galan, also known as Galactus and The Devourer of Worlds, is an anti-villain and one of the main antagonists of Marvel Comics, opposing the entire Marvel Universe, He is the archenemy of the Silver Surfer and a recurring foe for the Fantastic Four, Guardians of the Galaxy, Annihilators, X-Men, Thor and the Avengers.
Kang is the one who killed Iron Man and the others
Majors has memorable lines as another Kang variant we saw before The Conqueror. He Who Remains turned out to be the big villain of Loki.
He Who Remains (aka Kang)
Kang is very easily more powerful than Doctor Strange, considering that a variant of him has overtaken every single universe, as is revealed in episode six of Loki (and somehow not at all addressed in Spider-Man: No Way Home).
As a time traveler from the 31st century, Kang has access to technology and weaponry far beyond anything that 21st century Earth is capable of producing. With the resources at his disposal, Kang possesses mastery over time and space, as well as the power to battle armies single-handedly.
Kang the Conqueror has a Fear of the Avengers' Conan.
So to answer your question, no, Kang does not fear Tony Stark. Tony may be able to time travel, but Kang has conquered entire timelines and plays with with time like a kid playing with a hula hoop. Tony Stark is like a toy to Kang, an action figure.
Exile Kang
The main Kang from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, we learn, is actually an exile from the Council of Kangs we see at the end of the movie. This Kang is, evidently, the worst possible Kang. Too cruel or something even for the rest of the Kangs.
