Synopsis for "Ten Rings to Rule the World!"

Tony Stark has travelled to China to rescue Kevin O'Brien, disguised as Iron Man, who had been captured by the Mandarin. Stark and O'Brien change armor with Stark recieving the most recent model. Stark has revealed his identity to O'Brien who has been his constant nemesis for the past few months. He orders O'Brien to return to the states aboard an Avengers Quinjet. O'Brien does so thinking he might have misunderstood Stark to be a villain.

Iron Man invades the Mandarin's castle lair. He encounters and defeats his Death-Squad and eventually confronts the Oriental Master himself. The Mandarin freezes Iron Man with his rings and tells how he survived his apparent death by the Yellow Claw in an earlier battle. The Mandarin had transferred his consciousness into his rings and when the Claw's serant Loc Do put the rings on his hands, the Mandarin took over his form.

Iron Man turns on is heat inductor and thaws his frozen body. He eventually defeats the Mandarin seizing his rings and de-magnetizing them. In a last act, the Mandarin remotely assasinates his agent Jonathan Rich in Washington D.C. for failing him. Iron Man destroys the Mandarins machinery and his castle but spares the Oriental Masters life. The Golden Avenger then leaves the Mandarin asking him to remember that he has spared his life.
