    History

    Invincible Iron Man

    Initially formed by Mandarin and Ezekiel Stane this group consisted of a number of villains and their spiritual successors recruited both voluntarily and forcibly as part of the duos plan to wage war on the world and defeat Iron Man and his allies. The group were each upgraded into cyborgs by Stane and granted new upgraded armors by the Mandarin and launched on various terrorist attacks across the world in order to strike fear into the worlds governments and humiliate Iron Man. Largely operating in pairs the group launched many attacks under Mandarins direction including destroying the Three Gorges dam in China, freezing Dubai's entire fresh water supply and most notably were believed to have killed James Rhodes in battle. As well as these tasks the group was tasked with obtain resources used in the construction of the titanomechs. Following Mandarins down fall at the hands of defectors Ezekiel Stane, Blizzard, Whirlwind and Living Laser alongside their archenemy Iron man, the group largely went their separate ways only occasionally working together when the situation requires it.

    'The Mandarin's Hand'

    An early version of The Mandarin's Operative's were seen as the main antagonists of the 1994 Iron Man animated series. Although this group of villains weren't given a proper name on the show, but the news media dubbed them The Hand, which is NOT to be confused with the order of evil mystic ninjas seen from Daredevil. They also adversaries of Force Works. Their purpose was primarily to steal Stark Enterprises technology for their own sinister purposes. They unknowingly were responsible for the birth of Iron Man.
