These Space Phantoms became servants of Immortus himself, who did his bidding whenever direct intervention or misdirection was required in the time stream. They had also gave him technology that would prevent him from turning into a Phantom, beings who were trapped and transformed by Limbo itself. He was also to shepherd the course of history so that it ended with the Time-Keepers at the end of time. His primary objective was to untangle the temporal disturbances caused by his own self. He was greeted by the so-called Time-Keepers who had selected him to be tutored on their secrets of time and as their apprentice he was given seven millennia to watch over from 3000 BC to 4000 AD. He soon constructed a fortress and began to study time and tried to master the realm of Limbo, and observing alternate realities and timelines. When in Limbo, Nathaniel discarded his Rama-Tut guise and took on that of Immortus. Furious at the prospect of becoming a slave, Rama-Tut found a new fire for conquest and returned to his empire in the 40th century, and resumed his Kang identity. While one version of Rama-Tut went on to Limbo to become Immortus, yet another looked into the time stream and saw Immortus' eventual servitude to the Time-Keepers. However, the barrier between the time stream and Limbo is not only a point where every moment in time can be seen, but it is also a place where divergences can occur. Breaching the barrier into Limbo, Rama-Tut later reinvented himself as Immortus and began following this destiny. Growing old, Rama-Tut began seeking a way to achieve immortality and began studying the realm of Limbo and learned that it was a timeless place where he could live forever and decided to retire there to learn mastery of time. The branching point of this divergence occurred during Rama-Tut's travels through the time stream. However instead they merely diverged their destinies so that both men now existed autonomously from each other. During this battle they attempted to speed up Kang's destiny to become Immortus in order to eliminate him from the battle. Future struggles between Kang and Immortus would eventually have an impact on the destiny of Rama-Tut as well as during the so-called Destiny War at the end of time between the Avengers and the Time-Keepers. He eventually returned to the modern era and attempted to stop his past self from tampering with the Celestial Madonna, meeting his future self as Immortus in the process and assisting the Avengers in stopping Kang. Deciding to return to a more simpler time, Kang turned his vast empire over to his lover Ravonna and returned to ancient Egypt, resuming his guise of Rama-Tut. Īfter achieving many conquests over various galaxies and time periods, he had become less and less involved in the battles that expanded his empire and, by his 60th year, he had begun to view himself as nothing more than an administrator. He later took on the guise of Kang the Conqueror for many decades.
In his first attempt, Nathaniel created the identity of the Scarlet Centurion, but abandoned this identity after being defeated by the Avengers. Doom, inspired Nathaniel to abandon his Rama-Tut guise and assume one similar to Doom. A chance encounter with his possible ancestor Dr. Rama-Tut tried to flee back to his own era, but he was caught in a time storm and was forced to appear in the modern era of Earth-616. There he set himself up as a Pharaoh Rama-Tut until he was ousted from this position by the Fantastic Four. As an adult, Nathaniel discovered a time machine and having grown bored of his peaceful time, traveled back in time to ancient Egypt on Earth-616. The Nathaniel Richards born to this reality is said to be an ancestor of the Benefactor, although other records also indicate that he may also be an ancestor of the Latverian monarch known as Doctor Doom. Because Richards brought peace to this war-torn future, he became known as the legendary benefactor. After centuries of advancement and warfare, peace was brought to the land by a time-traveler from Earth-616 named Nathaniel Richards. Nathaniel Richards was born in the 30th century of Earth-6311, a reality where humanity never went into the Dark Ages.
