Does anyone know the correct way to pronounce Kang? By correct, I mean I want to know how Stan Lee and Jack Kirby intended it to be pronounced. Is it like Khan with a "g"? Is it like Cane with a "g"? Something else?

I used to listen to a comics podcast where the host would pronounce
"Havoc" as 'Have-Ock', and would correct anyone who said it
otherwise. I pronounce it 'Have-Ick' but this guy had me questioning
whether I've been pronouncing it wrong this whole time.

Since he wasn't named arbitrarily I'm pretty sure there's only one way to pronounce Havok.
I've always found fanboys create their own unique and ridiculous ways of pronouncing what should be fairly easily pronounced names. I've always chalked it up to them wanting to have secret special knowledge that shows how learned they are in this field.

What about John BUSCEMA (and his sister Sal?)
Honestly,as a kid i thought Sal was his sister as in the U.K. Salvatore is virtually unknown even now!
