As one of Marvels premier time-travelers, Kang has a number of fantastic powers at his disposal, and in Venom #25, he showcases a brand new one: chrono-cloning.

Venom #25 is written by Al Ewing, drawn by Sergio Davila, Sean Parsons, Ken Lashley, Cafu and Julius Otha, colored by Frank DArmata and lettered by Clayton Cowles. Doctor Doom and Eddie Brock are tripping through time, and they arrive at Kangs ship. After Doom and Kang trade insults and barbs, Kang attacks Eddie Brockbut before he does, he creates three duplicates of himself. Doom recognizes what he is doing: he is chrono-cloning himself. This power involves Kang leaping back through time by a fraction of a second. Doing so creates a new timeline where he arrives next to his past self. He then repeats this process until he has created three new Kangs, each from their own newly-created timeline. However, the three other Kangs are no match for Eddie Brock. With their deaths, the real Kang remarks that he is his own worst enemyand he has three new timelines to conquer.

Since his first appearance nearly 60 years ago, Kang has been not only one of Marvels premier villains, but also an unmatched master of time travel. Hailing from the utopian 41st century, Kang grew bored with life in paradise, and sought worlds to conquer. As a result of his manipulations of the time stream, Kang has had numerous identities, including Immortus, Rama-Tut and the Scarlet Centurion. He possesses some of the most advanced time travel tech in the Marvel Universeand his only peer in this area may be another ruthless villain: Doctor Doom.

Yet, in Venom #25, Kang sets himself apart from the pack. Kangs fantastic new power of chrono-cloning can give him a serious advantage over his opponentsbut it comes with a price. The chrono-cloning process creates new timelines and Kangsbut these timelines are created for self-serving purposes, namely to confuse a foe. The clones that Kang creates have independent thought and seem to work as a cohesive unit, until the odds are downthen it becomes every Kang for himself. Once the danger has passed, and the other three Kangs are gone, the first thought the real deal has is that he has three timelines he can now conquer. With those timelines respective Kangs gone, they stand no chance against the real thing.

Kangs chrono-cloning power shows how low of a villain he is. The other Kangs created in the chrono-cloning process joined the real one in solidarity and to take down Eddie Brock and Doom. However, the real Kang double-crossed them almost instantly and flippantly dismissed them when they died; to add insult to injury he then conquers their timelines. Kang has shown a self-serving streak in the past, and the chrono-cloning process is the purest expression of this yet. It exists solely as a monument to his ego and his ruthlessness, and proves how evil a villain Kang the Conqueror is.
