Kang has no self-appointed job to protect timelines, he does it when it gets in the way of his most important job: To conquer. He also doesn't have his own comic nor starrs in any book, so he has seldomly faced bigger threats.
However, what has Rip done without outside help? Kang is both a fierce fighter and a great manipulator.

Rip doesn't have his own comic, either. He's not an a list like Batman or Wolverine, so he can't hold his own book.
Rip doesn't always need help. He doesn't think linear, which helps him with his prep. He's got uber tech from any era and can hang with beings who can blow up 5-D imps.

I would like to have some feats, about his high end technologies, but yes, he has a good chance of beating Kang if it comes to uber DC technology.It kind of cheapens the battle though but oh well.
imo, kang would be screwed against that method of attack.

Suspendium was invented by doctor Sivana right? Wouldn't that be screwed using Anti-metal anyways? I mean, it could work but it can be handled by a Cosmic Cube I think.
Originally posted by Bentleyiirc, sivanna only used suspendium to momentarily hold shazam and the like. so i think it's fairly reasonable to assume rip upgraded it quite a bit, considering it held a multiversal entity.

furthermore, i'm not going to debate what items you think kang could/would gather via roaming throughout the time stream. i could easily say the same thing(s) about rip, but it would be quite illogical to do such.
But Kang actually had a cosmic cube, so its not THAT much of a stretch.
As I said it all comes down to which kind of tech Rip can get into the battle, I'm fairly aware that there are many impressive technologies in DC that could surpass Kang if they were to be pulled into the fight.
I think using suspendium is kind of tricky considering that Mr. Mind's transformation was triggered by suspendium to begin with. I don't see why it couldn't be countered by some of Kang's existing technologies, although I don't quite see what role we should give to suspendium to begin with nor its absolute proprieties.
