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…”).

The Vision also spoke to the incongruity of the superhero. The Vision appears to be a muscleman, and is, but he is also an intellectual.

When even this doesn’t work, the Soviets are finally forced to use brainwashing. Brainwashing is the expression of true evil in communist nations, as it gives the Soviets a method of policing free thought.
