WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Loki Episode 6, "For All Time. Always," streaming now on Disney+.

There's lots of little details that add up to make Loki so special, and the costuming is a huge part of that work. While there's a lot of great outfit choices to help show the journey Loki's characters are going through, one in particular deserves some extra study. Jonathan Majors plays He Who Remains, a variant of Kang who brought peace to the timeline, but at a heavy cost. Christine Wada is the mind in charge of Loki's costume designs, and Marvel Studios: Assembled gave her a chance to explain why He Who Remains' costume is so important.

It's a striking sight when the inner doors of the Citadel at the End of Time open to reveal its lone resident during Loki's finale. Majors (Lovecraft Country) is sitting impishly, clad in purples, blacks and a little hint of gold. It's a far cry from the imposing armor he's destined to wear as Kang, but there's something jarring about how he looks. Wada took the spotlight near the end of Marvel Studios: Assembled's episode on Loki to break down the choices she made in dressing He Who Remains, and they're all timeless in the literal sense of the word. He Who Remains is a man out of time, and Wada made sure his clothes reflected that.

As Wada points out, each major clothing element is from a different era. His sandals reflect the reign of Genghis Khan, although excited fans also see a little of Kang the Conqueror's pharaonic past in them. The flamboyant Willy Wonka shoulder cape is inspired by the Victorian era, intricately embroidered along its hem. It's the sort of fashion Jack the Ripper might have worn. As for the pants, they're inspired by classic Mongolian designs. Loose cut with an angled wrap around his waist, they're comfy and out of sync with the rest. Wada doesn't linger on the gold trappings of the costume too much, but the disc at the throat of He Who Remains does evoke his other comic counterpart, Immortus.

It's a nifty way to show how Kang's variants have woven themselves into history with just a glance. It also evokes the city of Chronopolis, which Kang rules in the comics. Cobbled together out of blocks from different eras of galactic history, it was first seen in 1992's Fantastic Four Annual #25, in a segment created by Mark Gruenwald and Herb Trimpe. It's a city under a dome, and one that fans suspect was already glimpsed in Ant-Man's quantum realm in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Kang confirmed to appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, they might just be proven right.

Trapped at the end of time by his own designs, He Who Remains keeps the physical memory of the places he's been close enough to touch. It's a testament to the silent power of storytelling that good costume design can offer, and Wada's choices tell fans more about the history of He Who Remains than he doles out to the two Loki variants that have made it to his office.

Wada won't be in charge of Kang's upcoming Ant-Man reveal, but she's done invaluable work making him a force to be reckoned with. He Who Remains is terrified of what he could be, choosing authoritarian control over time itself instead of chancing Kang's ascendancy. His clothes say he remembers where he's been and where he comes from. The statue seen at the end of Loki's season finale is Kang in his classic futuristic armor, ensuring another visual divide between He Who Remains and he who will conquer.

Created by Michael Waldron and directed by Kate Herron, Season 1 of Loki is streaming on Disney+. Jonathan Majors will return as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
