who wins?

Doom, Kang always came off to me as rather weak especially since he had all that future tech on his side

I love Kang, but Doom is an infinitely better strategist. Part of this is just that Doom is smarter, but part of it is also that Doom really cares about winning; for Kang, it's all about the thrill of conquest, and he often purposely makes bad tactical decisions for the sake of a bigger thrill.

Yep, if we consider how they work their overall resources, Kang seriously handicaps himself all the time, but he does so in order to prove himself a better strategist, using limited notions.

But if we stop considering those deliberate choices Kang has more tactical wins on his side, and he's a formidable manipulator and an excellent tactician. So are Kang's choices to limit his own resources prove of bad strategy? If so, Doom wins hands down, this is not even a contest.

Doom

Gotta go with Doom here, though Kang is no slouch.

Kang wishes he could be half the tactician Doom is.

Because that way he could struggle more with Conquest flirt

The fact of the matter is that neither of them are very good strategists, unless you count pulling technology out of your ass as a strategy. If I were putting together a top ten list of comics strategists, I doubt either of them would make the list.

Well, Kang is assumed to have good experience as a commander... Off panel. But I agree, they aren't highly ranked strategy wise anyways.

I do consider that a strategy. It's gotten me through some tough times.

A baseball bat doesn't count as technology.

It was actually a roll of conductive tape and a voltmeter.

Eh, Doom's ruled the world 3 times, and has freed his mothers soul. His strategies work as much as any villain's strategies are allowed. Of course villains aren't going to rule the world forever.

It's not an issue of what they've accomplished; Kang has also taken over the earth, but as a strategist would you put him ahead of Loki (who hasn't) or the Joker? Doom's plans are generally relatively simple (and at this point, pretty predictable), and their effectiveness comes from his technological skill, not his ability to predict his opponents' moves over an extended period. I actually think Osborne is more impressive as a strategist than either Doom or Kang.

Loki? Loki's scheming is harder to gauge, but I wouldn't say he's better. He often sets himself up for the beatdown (almost every time in fact), and gets misused and abused. Doom generally accomplishes what he wants for a least a while. And when he's beaten it's rarely humiliating.

His Doomwar strategy was pretty good, and showed he could lead wars and infiltrate T'Challa's highest security with ease.

When he made T'Challa choose Vibranium over Storm's life...that was fantastic.

Doom.

Kang has conquered several civilizations, including 616 once and has outmaneuvered Magus at his peak power to make his empire fall during the GotG tenure. All in all he's a sound strategist and a downright mean manipulator -if we count his fights with Immortus-.

all things considered off panel included Kang should dominate considering the entirety of conquests. On panel Doom has a tendency for some crazy shennanigans Sun Tzu would be proud of.

All things considered Doom wins.

Kang.

It showed when Doom had to BEG Kang to help him in Infinty War. And double crossing Kang doesnt make him a better tactician/strategist as Doom only had the chance to do it when Kang was down.

There is no reason for Kang to exist when we have Doom.

Funny thing. In that very panel Magus is shown defeated by Kang's previous bombing of his CCUs. So I guess you posted that to prove Kang is the better strategist?
