Mandarin Rings (Earth-77)

The Mandarin Rings are mystical rings that were previouslly owned by the Mandarin, each pocessing a specific power for the user to manipulate. The rings are currently scattered.

History
The Mandarin Rings have an unknown origin, but Chinese folklore suggest they originally were created by a mysterious jeweler in the days of ancient China. Many rulers, or mandarins, were given these rings, and used them to enforce their powers. However, they became corrupt with them, and battled eachother until eventually all of them were killed. The rings found other owners through the years, however, the greatest owner was the great Ghengis Kahn, possessing all ten rings.

Khan used the rings to conquer the world, but eventually the rings left him after he failed to conquer Japan. The rings remained hidden for centuries until they were recovered by Ghengis Khan's descendant, Khan. Khan (also known as the Mandarin) used the rings to try and finish what his ancestor started, making a dragon to attack the middle east so he could conquer the world. However, he was stopped by Iron Man, with the iron-clad hero capturing the rings to defeat the dragon, Fing Fang Foom.
