It’s clear Janet and Kang spent quite a bit of time together before she learns about his conquering ways and the name Kang, but we never learn what name he went by with her before that. The most obvious answer would be Nathaniel Richards, his real name in the comics, which is notable itself because of its nod to his family relation in the source material — though they were born centuries apart — to the Fantastic Four‘s Reed Richards.
Asked what name Janet was calling Kang while they worked to repair his ship’s core, Loveness replied, “I can’t say too much,” joking, “Let’s just say the four-hour Loveness cut would have would have answered that.”
He added, “I would say Kang is a title, not even a name, and that is a mask that he wears. Certainly he was and is a human being with a name. For the sake of pacing, things get chopped out or cut down, but I think we’ll be seeing what this guy’s name is pretty soon and who he relates to and what’s going on.”
