There have been many alternative timeline or alternate dimension versions of Kang. One counterpart of Kang was known as "Keng," who lived in the alternative Earth sometimes identified as "Earth-Calibur." As chronicled in Excalibur (vol. 1) #49, Keng fought the Caliburians in the "mainstream Marvel" (Earth-616) lighthouse headquarters of the superhero team Excalibur. Keng's enemies in "Calibur" (a team native to "Earth-Calibur") were: Cap'n Saxonia, Dr. Strange, the Hulk, Iron Fist, and Spider-Girl.
