Do The Avengers Have a Weakness? Kang the Conqueror Found a Critical Flaw

[[{“value”:”

The Avengers, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, are supposed to be the paragons of justice and good – yet the team has developed one serious weakness that Kang the Conqueror finally discovered. Despite the team’s superpowered extravagance, their greatest flaw is something surprisingly mundane, and Kang could potentially exploit it to take the team down once and for all.

In Avengers #23– writtenby Jed MacKay, with art by Farid Karami – Kang the Conqueror, has returned for the first time since making a grand proclamation that he would return as the Avengers’ enemy.

Now, Kang and Black Cat have teamed up to pull off the ultimate heist. When the full might of the Avengers looks to overwhelm the villains, Kang unleashes an ultimate weapon unlike anything Thanos or Doctor Doom have tried before. Instead of timeless armies and Infinity Gauntlets,getting past the Avengers only takes one simple tactic.

The Truth Is, The Avengers Are Easily Distracted – And Kang The Conqueror Knows It

Avengers #23–Written By Jed MacKay; Art By Farid Karami; Color By Federico Blee; Lettering By VC’s Cory Petit; Cover Art by Valerio Schti & Alex Sinclair

While attempting to flee from the Grandmaster’s multiversal casino, the two villains are closely followed by the Earth’s mightiest heroes. When faced with the powers of gods and witches,
Kang and Black Cat
normally wouldn’t stand a chance. But if Kang has learned anything about his heroic rivals in the infinite timelines and realities he has clashed with them, it’s that the Avengers are easy to distract. Kang jokes that despite every weird and wild thing the team has seen, they still struggle to focus on the problem when new distractions interject themselves.

This time,
Kang needs the Avengers
as his champions. To keep his heroes off his trail while keeping them alive and well, Kang does the most mundane thing possible and pays weird mercenaries to distract and aggravate the Avengers.As straightforward as the tactic is, it works. These career heroes instantly pause their pursuit of Kang and Black Cat to momentarily face their awkward multiversal enemies. When the Avengers finally catch up to the two thieves, Kang and Black Cat relish that the Avengers are still left clueless because of their poor attention span.

Kang Easily Exposes The Avengers’ Fatal Flaw As A Superhero Team

Keep Them Occupied

Following the skirmish, the Avengers think they’ve gained the upper hand. They soarrogantly believe that they are too strong to be defeated,not realizing that wasn’t Kang’s goal. While the heroes were busy fighting the multiversal mercenaries and hunting down the villains, Kang and Black Cat had already enacted their true plan. Both
the Avengers and Kang
were after the same prize, but only one team could win. The Avengers were so preoccupied with the obvious distractions that they failed to notice Kang never had the prize to begin with.

Leveraging the Avengers’ distractive habits, Kang and Black Cat use the entire showdown as a ruse to cover for their third partner, who is secretly smuggling the coveted data chip. These are supposed to be Earth’s champions but can’t even keep their eye on the prize long enough to capture it.
Villains like Doctor Doom
have chastised the Avengers for not being proactive enough and maybe Kang has proven the point as to why. It’s in the Avengers’ nature, even if to a fault, to pivot to new threats when they arrive, a flaw Kang is quick to capitalize on.

Avengers #23is now available from Marvel Comics.
