WhileIron Manmay have faced a assumed Mandarin in the MCU , in the comedian Tony Stark is well - acquainted with the real supervillain and his superpowered Ten Rings ( which alike got a major makeover for theShang - Chimovie adaption . ) Repurposed division of an alien space vehicle , theMandarin ’s ring each grant a different power , including psyche ascendancy , deception creation , and time manipulation . Together , the band make Mandarin a divine being , and in one of his most ambitious plan ever , the scoundrel attempted to wedge Iron Man to make them the centrepiece of his deadliest armor ever .

Recently , Marvel Comics premise anew   set of Ten Ringswielded by Shang - Chi which more tight match how the movies re - imagined them . However , the original Ten Rings have long belonged to the Mandarin , who salvaged them from a Makluan starship in his youth .   The Mandarin later claimed that they were n’t halo at all , but rather   futurist storage gimmick   each used to carry the memory and ability of an ancient foreign warrior .

unluckily - as depicted in Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca’sIron Manarc ' The Future ' - the Mandarin was able-bodied to hacktechnological advances Iron Man had madeto his body in order of magnitude to squeeze him to make   the Titanomechs . These incredibly dangerous suits were an estimation Tony had developed but adjudicate never to actually create . Sadly , through a combination of slickness and control , the Mandarin put him to work . The Titanomechs were wildly powerful suit already , but once pilot by the alien consciousnesses inside the Ten Rings , they also gained the ability of their assign warrior . gratefully - due to a desire to retain ascendency of his empire and the army of technical school - establish supervillains he ’d enslave to help Iron Man - the Mandarin did n’t commit all the rings at once , chip in   Tony the svelte border he ask to destroy the predominate suits before they destabilized Earths ' marrow in an travail to deliver to the superstar .

gratefully , Iron Man was able to win out against the three Titanomechs he was forced to make , but only with some serious back - up . It tookIron Man , a cadre of villainswilling to turn on Mandarin , and the superteams known as the Triumph Division and the Dynasty to keep the Titanomechs at bay laurel , and they were only beaten due to an observational swarm of million of nanobots Tony ’s company had place open to find where he was being hold . In brusk , it took Iron Man ’s allies , enemies , and most data-based tech to even the play field of operations , and he ’d still belike have lost if the Mandarin had been uncoerced to give up more of his rings to the project .

Iron Man is capable of designingworld - end weapons that no - one else could even sound . In a populace of telepaths and operator , his cognition is dangerous by itself , and in the past he ’s even blue-pencil design from his own creative thinker to check them ever being substantiate .

Tony Stark ’s blessing and jinx is that whenever he conceives of a job - from everyday annoyances to revelatory chaos - he also conceptualise of the suit of armor that can fix it , but each suit come with its own import . In the case of the Titanomechs , even conceiving of these powerful suit gave the Mandarin ’s halo a reason to enslave him and end the world . Shang - Chi ’s Ten Rings andIron Man ’s armor turn out to combineinto the ultimate weapon , but Tony is always learning , and that means that as deadly as the Titanomech armor proved to be , he ’s already started thinking up something worse .
