    The Mandarin

    I wonder if we should change the image to something more modern like this:

    The Mandarin

    The problem with comparing him to Captain America and Spider-Man is that they have a ton of evidence putting them at peak human and class 10, respectively. There is no such contradicting evidence with The Mandarin. He was outright stated as having strength rivaling Iron Man right out of the...

    The Mandarin

    That was probably the intent, but considering the existence of characters like Iron Fist and Karnak, an unnecesary one. And again, it contradicts the actual comics, which attribute his striking power to a combination of super-strength and sheer skill.

    Nothing in the comics backs that up. The original handbook in the eighties seems to have made that up, and handbooks afterwards just keep cut-n-pasting it.

    The Mandarin

    His striking power has nothing to do with a force-field. His force-field creation is very distinct, taking the form of a bubble. The comics are typically quite clear that his striking power is the result of his sheer skill combined with superhuman strength. The Handbook entry is just....*sigh*...

    Yes, he definately qualifies as a genius, as even reverse-engineering that stuff is extremely impressive. Maybe even an extraordinary-genius. But a supergenius?

    The Mandarin

    Again, the Handbooks have done a horrible job with him, underrating his chi-channeling abilities, and overrating his intelligence. His most impressive scientific feats mostly involve kidnapped scientists. Extremis, the Dragon of Heaven, those things he forces Stark to invent for him during Matt...

    The Mandarin

    Supergenius sounds too high. He kidnaps scientists too often for that rating. Captain America sounds too low physically when chi-amping. His martial arts strikes are too destructive for that rating.

    The Mandarin

    The Handbooks appear to have done a very poor job with him.

    The Mandarin

    The rings don't give him telepathy, only illusions and hypnosis. His striking power is considerably greater than wall-level. The rings give him various ranged attacks, but should be listed as equipment. His actual powers are only his intelligence, and his the ability to channel chi into...

    Okay, so I'll change striking power and durability to 6-A. Does my first draft otherwise look okay?

    The Mandarin

    The Mandarin's current page is badly underwritten. Here is my first draft of a revised version: The Mandari Any feedback on what I should change/correct would be appreciated.
