Article Summary

Myrddin’s true identity is finally revealed in Avengers #30 after months of reader speculation.
The mysterious Myrddin is unmasked as none other than Kang, following an alternate timeline in his life.
Myrddin was introduced as Kang’s rival after Kang was written out due to changes in Marvel’s movie plans.
This revelation ties the Kang and Myrddin storylines together, reshaping Marvel’s ongoing timeline drama.

Avengers #30 by Jed MacKay and Farid Karami is published today by Marvel Comics. When the antagonist of Kang, Myriddin, turned up on the scene in Timeless at the end of 2023, he was there as a stand-in for Kang, at a time that Marvel was de-Kangifying itself in the wake of the character being removed from the Avengers films, over allegations against actor Jonathan Major who played him in TV series Loki and movie Ant-Man 3.

From the first teaser though, we asked about his identity. "The last one-shot from the end of last year was a story about Kang, older, Kang, younger Kang and a look at the Marvel Universe playing out in 2022. So Myrddin is probably Kang as well". When he actually arrived in the comics, we pointed out that "Kang doesn't seem to think Myrddin and Merlyn are the same. Even if Kang and Myrddin are." When he stepped into Kang's shoes, we noted, that Myrrddin was "sitting in his chair as it were. Like he was used to how it felt. Like he was Kang once upon a time." And then when he did sit in the chair in more recent issues, we noted it was "almost as if it fitted him like a glove."
