This is the next part of my discussion bout Iron Man Armored Adventures.

This time the Villains.

Ok so Lemme be real with y'all I am just gonna talk bout a handful of Villains not even cause when I do big things like this it fries my brain and I wanna talk bout the armors next so I'll just talk about the baddies I think are cool. Ghost and Technovore among a few of em. It just occurred to me that Technovore is also a one off villain but oh well. My book deal wit it.

Ok so Ghost is a mercenary who can walk through walls, disappear and fly. (Yes that's a danny phantom joke, deal with it.) He is assigned to kill Tony Stark as well as kill other people and even steals the Iron Man armor schematics. When he does that he also finds out that Tony is Iron Man and says he will black mail Tony once he turns 18. But (SPOILER WARNING) in the end of the show Tony's identity is revealed to the world. Kinda wish if we got a season 3 I would like to see what Ghost would do.

Next Technovore. Buch of Nanites that are evil with a virus. Thats all really.

The rest of the chapter is now about the Main Villain of the show.......The Mandarin.

The Real Mandarin

The One True Mandarin

He ain't some actor or some guy who's the leader of A.I.M. no this is the real Mandarin. The Mandarin is also known as Gene Khan.

Heads up Spoilers ahead.

You see, Gene is one of the last of the Khan's meaning he believes as he's the last of his family he considers himself the one true mandarin. His entire goal is to find all 10 Makulan rings to basically become an all powerful being with infinite cosmic powers. It is eventually revealed that Gene is actually half Human Half Makulan, the Makulan being a race of alien lizards.

Now here's the thing I like to consider Gene as the secret hero or a secret main character. His goal in the series is to find all the rings and make peace in the chaotic world........by becoming an overlord/ tyrant ruler.

Eventually though he realizes that his goal in life isnt to rule the earth but to protect it. That's some big character growth. Let's take a look at the rings.

The Makluan Rings are rings of immeasurable power worn by the Mandarin, an ancient Chinese ruler of myth. Originally, the Chinese thought the rings were magic, but Howard Stark believed them to be an ancient technology so advanced that it would be indistinguishable from magic. Individually, the rings possess great powers, but when they are all gathered altogether, the user is granted limitless power. All ten rings combined make their user the most powerful being in the universe.

The Makluan Rings were made by the Makluans for their overlord forged from the heart of the first star, the overlord wore the ten rings and used them to conquer other worlds and planets. During a feast that The Makluan Overlord prepared (in celebration of the makluans' conquering of half of the cosmos), his son, the future makluan guardian of the 10th temple, retrieved the rings and escaped. After being hunted by The Overlord for ages, he arrived at a mysterious planet called Earth, and found a man who was worthy to wear the rings, a man named Khan. He was a savior of his homeland. The Makluan bestowed upon him the ten rings, as well as the Dragonseed. The Dragonseed altered Khan's DNA, making him part makluan and allowed him access to the rings' true power. This Khan became the first Mandarin. He conquered all he saw with his might and grew his dynasty. However, as he saw his children would not use the rings wisely, he wanted to find someone he could pass his rings down to after his death. So, he scattered them to the corners of the globe and designed tests for a direct descendant in his family, one who would be worthy of his ten rings, to pass in order to prove their worthiness, obtain them, and activate their true powers. As a final measure to make sure only the worthiest of his descendants would find all ten rings, he only told his descendants about five of them. However, The Mandarin didn't create a temple for the purple ring. He instead left it active and told his descendants to pass it down to their children when they came of age.
Tony, Rhodes, Pepper, and Gene Khan search for the rings as the series progresses. When the first five rings are found in Tales of Suspense, the rings revealed that the first Mandarin had ten rings instead of five. Gene then began searching for the rest of the rings all over the world, with Howard Stark helping him.

Now Gene has all ten rings in his possession, and as a result he has gained immeasurably limitless power, and has disappeared to carry out his plan to bring order to everything in existence, and to make them follow his every whim and desire, making the world in "deep, deep trouble" (stated by Tony).

In the season finale, the Mandarin tells the world of his plan but is stopped by the Makluan invasion, when he got captured, the Makluan overlord took back his rings.
After the overlord was defeated Gene took back the rings when no one was looking and it was thought that he was going to start fighting Iron Man and co. again, but he actually helped them by teleporting Pepper and Rhodes off of the ship before it exploded. After that he returned the helicarrier. Later, he returns to China, having decided that his destiny was not to conquer the world, but to protect it, before flying away into the distance.

Description
The Makluan Rings are yellow bands with fire-shaped "gems". Each ring has a different colored gem with Chinese trigram symbols on them. The first 8 rings each have one of the 8 symbols on them

Powers and Abilities:
The rings only work for the original Mandarin and members in his family because they have the Dragonseed inside their genetics. The Dragonseed is the genetic signature of a Makluan, which was implanted into the first Mandarin's DNA and passes on through his family line. This state allows all who possess the anomaly to wield the full power of the Makluan rings. While it is thought that only those with the Dragonseed could wield the rings, it should be noted that Doctor Doom found a way of accessing the 9th ring's powers using his own incredibly advanced technology

Abilities
The rings give the Mandarin strong and powerful abilities that appear to be magical. They respond to his mental commands and include:

Mandarin Armor Creation: The Mandarin's signature armor is created and powered by the rings. The user can make the armor and segments of it, disappear and reappear around him. It grants him enhanced strength, endurance, and protection from attacks. With all ten rings, the Mandarin is as strong as the Hulk and can shrug off the SHIELD Helicarrier's biggest weapons.
Ring Detection: The rings can form a map that shows ring locations and can even emit a light that reveals temple walls and entrances.
Ring-Specific Capabilities
Purple Ring: Allows Mandarin to teleport anywhere, and manipulate various forms of electromagnetic energies for many effects. This ring is the most favored of all.
Teleportation: The Mandarin can teleport himself and others anywhere he wants. His range of teleportation increases with the more rings he holds, even across dimensions.
Energy Manipulation: By itself, this ring can be used to unleash energy force waves. When enhanced by more rings, he can levitate himself, direct its energy to project lightning, stronger blasts, and other electromagnetic energies at his opponents, shape the energy into force fields to shield himself, and project a crushing field of gravity around a person.
Green Ring: It allows him to emit impact beams. This is his second most used ring.
Enhanced Energy Blasts: This lets Mandarin project green energy beams and fiery orange blasts that are mostly seen when enhanced by one or more rings.
Blue Ring: Has the power to generate and manipulate water.
Water Field: Creates a barrier-field of water around a target to restrain it. The Mandarin can control this field; to whatever extent he wants either to crush the target or peel off any covering it has.
Red Ring: This ring gives the Mandarin the ability to control fire in any way he wishes.
Fire Manipulation: The ring allows the Mandarin to manipulate fire.
Yellow Ring: This ring can control manipulate ice.
Ice Projection: This ring can generate blasts of ice to freeze his enemies.
Orange Ring: Has the ability to alter matter.
Acid Cloud: It can produce an acid cloud that is capable of eating through any material. This includes the Iron Man Armor.
Crimson Ring: This grants the Mandarin enhanced mental power.
Mind Control: It can control the minds of others and cloud their memories.
Clairvoyance: This ring can access any hidden knowledge of this reality through its use. It allows him to find any hidden locations like the Armory and grant advanced awareness of his surroundings.
Mental Projection: It can replay memories in another person's mind.
White Ring: Grants the power of the vortex to the Mandarin.
Wind Manipulation: Can start and stop strong winds and vortexes at any time.
Super Speed: Allows the Mandarin to move as fast as the wind.
Black Ring: Can control darkforce power. This ring is the strongest of all the ten rings.
Darkforce Manipulation: It can unleash devastating energy waves and erect barriers of darkforce. It also has the power to open portals to other worlds and dimensions. Its latent power is great enough to open wormholes and unleash chaos throughout the entire world.
Pink Ring: This is the final ring, when put together with the nine rings, it gives the Mandarin the ultimate power (see Full Powers).
Life Manipulation: Grants the power of creation of life to an unknown extent. Most likely was used to create the various Makluan Guardians.
Full Powers
Each Makluan ring enhances the power of the other rings. The more rings the Mandarin has, the greater his power. At their full potential, the Mandarin's rings are capable of the following:
Godhood: When the rings are all gathered together, it gives the Mandarin the power of a god, able to see everything, every molecule and electron in the universe, and capable of commanding reality itself. He is surrounded by a green aura, and becomes a being that surpasses mortality as long as he holds the rings.
