Mandarin (Earth-199999)
- Not to be confused with Aldrich Killian or Trevor Slattery.
The Mandarin is the mysterious leader of the Ten Rings terrorist organization. Little to nothing is known about him outside of Ten Rings. In 2012, Aldrich Killian used actor Trevor Slattery to pose as a terrorist called the Mandarin (apparently without any knowledge of the true Mandarin) and obfuscate the true motives behind a series of bombings; Killian was killed and Slattery was arrested.[1] During Slattery's prison term, Ten Rings agent Jackson Norriss arrived under the guise of a documentarian to break him out and take him to the Mandarin.[2] The result of this escape and subsequent events are unknown. It is also unclear to what extent the Mandarin influenced Ten Rings' involvement with Iron Man in 2009, though it can likely be assumed that he at least had knowledge of it.[3]
