Description
Robes
The Mandarin has a combed back hair piece and a beard, both in black. His face is depicted to be serious and is printed with black eyebrows, cheek bones, and lines to give the face shape. He also features a dark green cape and the torso and arms are dark green with flesh hands. The Mandarin's torso is printed with his dark green robes that have yellow embriodery, his belt, and it is currently unknown what is printed underneath the beard. The robe printing continues onto the olive green legs, which depict the robes coming together.
Robeless
This variant has the same hair, beard, and face as the other variant. His torso is dark green with flesh arms and hands. The torso is printed with his belt, underclothes, and it is currently unknown what the printing is underneath the beard. He has plain olive green legs.
Background
The Mandarin is an international terrorist, an enemy of Iron Man, and leader of the terrorist group known as the Ten Rings (who captured and held Tony Stark hostage in a cave, until he built the Mark I and broke free). He possesses ten rings, which are the symbols and namesakes of his group. However, his rings don't bestow any powers (unlike his comic counterpart, where they have powers) and he uses guns. He also wants to teach the world lessons, such as the fact that there is no such thing as heroes.
His background is unknown, as he uses many other warrior motifs and symbols and twists them for his own use, such as Asian royal robes, a terrorist beard, samurai hair, a Captain America shield tattoo with the "A" for "anarchy" in the middle instead of star on the back of his neck, and a gun ammunition shirt.
Notes
- In Iron Man 3 he is played by Sir Ben Kingsley, who also played Nizam in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
