Kang The Conqueror is just the second variant of his kind to arrive in the MCU and the post-credits scene of Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania shows that there are thousands of him, enough to fill in a stadium, but among the crowd, red stands out, is that Scarlet Centurion? His color is unmistakable!
Who is Scarlet Centurion in Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania?
In a sea of green, purple, and black, the color red stands out in the crowd and while it is not revealed who the variants are, there are those variants of Kang that are easily distinguished even when thousands of them are all called by the Council of Kangs in the Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania post-credits scene.
All played by Jonathan Majors in varying styles and distinct voices, the Council of Kangs are composed of Immortus, Rama-Tut, and who seems to be either Kid Immortus or Iron Lad in his futuristic outfit. Immortus thought it'd be best to call out all of their kind from different universes.
As the variants started popping up one by one, there is a variant that wears a red cloak. It is Scarlet Centurion, the one when Kang wore red with the moniker he passed on to his son, Marcus Kang, when he was introduced in the Kang Dynasty arc.

Appearing in Avengers Annual #2 in 1968, Kang embraced the moniker of Scarlet Centurion in the comics when he had to abandon being Rama-Tut. In Earth-689, he wanted to take over the modern age of heroes through making the Avengers his pawns to fight against the team in Earth-616.
Scarlet Centurion has a huge ship that could travel through time and space. When he decided to embrace being Kang The Conqueror, he passed down the title of Scarlet Centurion to his son, Marcus Kang, who held on to it until he died.
