History[]
The son of British and Mongolian aristocrats who died shortly after he was born, Tem Borjigin squandered his entire inheritance on training in science, military tactics, and mystic martial arts. This bankrupted the family estate, resulting in the Mandarin being rendered homeless. Blaming civilization rather than his own vanity for his misfortune, Mandarin sought a means of revenge, eventually discovering an alien spaceship. He looted the technology he found within, including ten rings which each possessed a different energy-attack. The Mandarin took the rings and began a life as an international terrorist, combating Iron Man and the Avengers frequently as an enemy of peace.
