or they could create a new villain.
You can't fast track originality.

Crimson Dynamo could, as a guy sent out by a Chinese business rival to take out Stark. . . or something.
They could use a villain from some other Marvel book, or they could create a new villain.
You're references to Chinese communism are dated. A backdrop into chinese communism now could work perfect given the right situation. Maybe something to do with leftover Stark weapons cache the Chinese bought in bulk from Stane before he was "killed" or something. China right now actually owns the US with all the money we borrowed from them. If they wanted, the chinese government could bankrupt the whole US economy the second they decide they want the US to pay their debt owed.
Seeing as the 10 Rings is a multinational terrorist organization, I don't think we have to worry about him being a "yellow peril" villain. He'll be a terrorist. As for him being Asian, well, that's a given. He'll probably say he's a direct descendant of Genghis Khan and that the title of "The Mandarin" was first created by Khan.
As for the ring themselves. . .my guess is they are just highly advanced technology. Perhaps mini-ARC reactors each meant to power a different function. I doubt they'll go the alien route..
As for other villains. . .Crimson Dynamo could work like he did in the Ultimate Universe. Instead of a single threat (As you said, it'd be kind of redundant with Iron Monger already used), he controls an army of Crimson Dynamos. ..
I think it isn't all that difficult to remake Mandarin as a villain while STILL retaining his Asian ethnicity. Have they Ultimatized him yet, cause I recall saying I have clear Ultimatized ideas for the character, though I may have withheld it for purposes of Dreamcasting.
You wanted him to be the media mogul right?
Yes.You wanted him to be the media mogul right?
I believe I shot it off as a fairly unexplained one-line idea in one of those threads about Ultimate villains that Overlord started.Baxter said:Thats closer to what I suggested HERE than anything I've seen Ourchair suggest.
Beat ya to it!promotional image handed out at the big ticket premieres, I guess it was in a sort of goodie bag

"I'm sorry, Rhodey. This is the fun-vee. The hum-drum-vee is back there."
According to the tracking numbers on Speed Racer, it's starting to look like Iron Man is going to hold onto the number one spot in the box office.
Holy crap!I liked it.
And I really tend really not to like such things at all.
