As if the implication that the Mandarin is a modern day Khan is too subtle, Iron Man refers in the course of the story to his foe as a “weak apology for Genghis Khan” (Lee, “The Hands…”). The Mandarin’s origin in Tales of Suspense #62 (Feb. 1965) repeats this symbolic genealogy by claiming his “father was a direct descendent of Genghis Khan” (Lee, “The Origin”). Decades later, readers learn that the Mandarin has a son, and that son is bequeathed with the Mongol leader’s birth name Temujin (Grell, “Book of…”).

Brainwashing is the expression of true evil in communist nations, as it gives the Soviets a method of policing free thought.
