In my Marvel universe, the Mandarin is the protege of Yellow Claw. He attained his own powers after the deafeat of his master in the 1960s by the Agents of Atlas. Mandarin's plans are not so grand as Yellow Claw's; he does not seek to rule the world and make it all China. Instead, he seeks to protect and rule China as its absolute master. Once he has achieved this goal... who knows what the future will bring?
