Wow! Killian is actually "The Mandarin"!


Just look!

Mandarin from 1983, drawing by Luke McDonnel:

Aldrich Killian from Iron Man 3, played by Guy Pearce:

See how fricking similar they are?! Mandarin has dragon tattoo on the front of his body, and Aldrich Killian has too!

They're identical!

Well, except for the fact that the Mandarin in the comics is: 1. Mainland Chinese. 2. He doesn't work with the governments. 3. Doesn't have super-abilities that were enhanced with the help of super-serum. 4. He wears cool, exotic armors. 5. His main source of power and knowledge comes from an outer space. 6. He hates Iron Man not because he was ditched by Tony Stark during the celebration of the New Year.

But hey, those aren't important character traits, right? The fact that they both have tattoos is much more important.

Lol. Iron Man 3 was pretty bad. That Mandarin twist killed it... not to mention the little boy sidekick thing.

It was sarcasm, in case you didn't get it. Iron Fail 3 sucked, indeed.
