The animators clearly loved drawing his &#8220;tornado form,&#8221; and it provided a great visual contrast to Iron Man\u2019s precision flight. He was the villain that turned every battle into a scramble; you couldn&#8217;t just aim and fire at a guy who was a literal blur of green metal and sharp edges. Posing him next to the rest of the Mandarin\u2019s crew today brings back that specific Saturday morning feeling of a team that was truly more than the sum of its weird, spinning parts.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-326aced e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"326aced\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6ee93a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c6ee93a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36802e3c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"36802e3c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b75c4b0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2b75c4b0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95dc310 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95dc310\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-path-to-node=\"3\"><b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">6.

Under the Mandarin\u2019s command, and often bankrolled by the boardroom schemes of <b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"258\">Justin Hammer<\/b>, this crew gave Season 1 its unique flavor of industrial espionage wrapped in Saturday-morning spectacle.
