1. The Mandarin
Of course we had to touch on The Mandarin. He’s important!
The Mandarin was the son of rich nobles in China…according to The Mandarin. In reality, he was the child of an opium-addicted prostitute who lived in a whorehouse. He murdered everyone who stood in his path, and rose to power, eventually spearheading an operation to kidnap industrialist Tony Stark.
He also gained power thanks to ten alien rings he discovered in a crashed spaceship. Although the rings had the intended purpose of conquering the earth, they seemed content to let The Mandarin wear them on his fingers for a long while.
When Iron Man arose, Mandarin fought with him numerous times, even funding the Scarecrow and other villains in their attempts. No, the other – y’know what, I’m so sick of having to do that. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I MEAN.
Mandarin is one of the most vicious Iron Man villains, and one of his best foes.
And there you go! My ten favorite Iron Man villains, all laid out for your enjoyment. I love Iron Man bad guys, so I had to leave a bunch out, maybe enough for a second list! We’ll see.
