No, "nerfed" is exactly the phrase I wanted to use. To "nerf" a character is to take away all or most of their usual/known powers to make them basically a mundane. That's exactly what they did to Mandarin, as there is no evidence at all that he has any powers, even in his iconic Rings.

![]() Look at the history of the Ten Rings from Iron Man through the present and it's clear that the Mandarin has been targeting Tony Stark for years. In fact, Mandarin is responsible for Tony Stark becoming Iron Man, because it was his henchmen's kidnapping Tony, injuring him and forcing him to create a weapon for them that lead to his creation of the arc reactor and armor. Indirectly causing the creation of a hero must have been galling for Mandarin, but he and his underlings saw opportunities arising from Iron Man. They could try to acquire Stark's armor while at the same time helping Vanko to attack him. When Vanko not only failed but left Stark even stronger, perhaps Mandarin was provoked into finding a more direct method of destroying his nemesis.

That's probably really early concept art for Hulkbuster. If it ever gets used the earliest time would be A2.

Forget all that, though. Would it make sense to show Luthor as a lackey the first time we're introduced to him in the Superman universe? Who could take him seriously after that? He's Superman's nemesis, just like Mandarin is Tony's, and I have a hard time believing Killian, of all people, would take center stage when Mandarin is around. I think you're letting your opinion of the Mandarin character skew your view of the plot.

That new Hulk buster seems to emulate the actual anatomy of Hulk thus the Hunchback (humungous traps and hunched position) appearance.
![]() It definitely makes sense. |

If the Hulbuster suit is big enough, Tony wouldn't actually have to be hunched over. His head wouldn't be in the helmet, it would be further back in the "body." But it could work.

yup it definitely looks just like the Hulks posture, so I'm assuming he makes it that he can maneuver similar to how Hulk does. Sort of a toe-for-toe body structure to combat Hulk. That picture is a great example of how similar both actually look when you compare both. |

It is what it is. Neither Mandarin nor Killian remotely reference their comic-book counterparts. They are both INOs, so Black can play them however he likes.

I don't see Killian making it out of this alive since we're assuming he's extermis infected I think he'll meet an end. But if Mandy is the top dog of this film as I'm assuming I think he can possibly be captured and jailed or make an escape somehow in the end and return for a MoE team up in a future film if that's the route Marvel movies are going to go in the future. Otherwise, yes he's going to kick the bucket too.

I'm pretty sure this is the Deep Space armor that's going to be in the movie. Looks like just that toy that was shown a while back. I wonder why the eye-slits are closed off.
