Just saying...
Yeah, I definately think you can make the arguement that either Ultron or Kang are historically the Avengers greatest foes. Because of the movies, Thanos probably has to be thrown in the mix but in the comics at least he's one of their biggest most re-occuring threats.
And yes, most of the BIG Avenger writers (Englehart, Stern, Harras, Busiek) all have big Kang stories.
I think part of the reason he doesn't face individual Avengers that often is because he's one of the few villains who can be viewed as an Avenger level threat on their own. When he shows up, it usually takes more than just one. That said, BP is definately one of the Avengers that can do a solo Kang story. Hopefully we see one down the line.
Yes, I personally feel that Kang & Ultron are the avengers greatest threats. It's Busiek's fault lol. I've never come across a good Thanos story to think otherwise. Ultron Unlimited & The Kang Dynasty solidified Ultron and Kang for me as the greatest threats to the Avengers. Hell, either one of them could give Superman, and probably the entire Justice League a run for their money.
They would both be good antagonists for BP and Wakanda in the hands of a good writer.

I know this might not happen but I would like to see BPS face off the masters of evil with a BP villain among the mix whether it's in the comics or live action. Showcasing how T'Challa is able to tackle multiple villains should be interesting. Like Spidey against the sinister six

It COULD happen in the movies. Baron Zemo at this point is just as much a BP rogue as he is to BUcky and Falcon. It would just be a question of pulling together enough villains to form a descent Masters of Evil.
All of T'Challa's technically died in the first movie, but either could honestly be brought back if they really wanted to.
Looks like the empire stuff will still be going on with the real Killmonger eventually getting involved
I’d much rather BP writers be creative and develop a power up for T’Challas chief villain that originates in the myths. It’s not like there aren’t gods he can become the avatar of or ancient alchemical powers he can unlock. In fact we might be getting the former based off that info. On another note, that solicit sounds like the end of a season or potentially Coates’ run lol.
Don't mind this post lol.

We'll see. Egyptian gods tend to be rather stingy when powering up their avatars... Black Panther and Moon Knight (two of the more well known avatars) aren't exactly power houses. T'Challa is of course very very dangerous, but that's more because of his own skill and intelligence than the actual powers he's getting from Bast. Maybe the villainouse gods will be more liberal in their power ups. Like I said, Killmonger needs it. He'll never be able to compete with T'CHalla in any sort of tech upgrade since he doesn't have the intelligence or the resources, so a mystical upgrade would likely have to be necessary.
I'm just wondering whatever happened to that son of Killmonger who swore revenge after Killmonger's death in Reginald Hudlin's Black Panther run. Would've been good to try to make him into an MCU-inspired new Killmonger, though they could still have him be the one that digs up his dad's body and has a part in bringing him back from the dead.
The spider is always on the hunt.
