Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin #4

This issue starts with totally new material immediately following on from the end of last issue (after Tales of Suspense #53). It then segues into a version of the beginning of ToS#54. I don't think Agents Sands and Burroughs have been mentioned anywhere else. On the other hand there a cameo by Maria Hill. This is rated as almost her 1st chronological appearance, only beaten by some flashbacks in Iron Man (2008) #13. In this issue I assume Stark defends the satellite from the SHIELD helicarrier. But it doesn't actually say so. The same is true of the meeting between Iron Man and SHIELD in #1. In ToS#54 it is the Pentagon rather than SHIELD which calls Stark in. And they are concerned about Stark missiles in Vietnam that Mandarin is causing to go off course and disappear. A small additional point is that Tony has created his new armour before being called on by the military. The new armour has removed the pointy bits of the facemask above the eyes. But it isn't exactly as seen in ToS#54. As shown here it doesn't have the rivets on the facemask. And it has gained the hip pods which wouldn't turn up until a few issues later. Amnesiac Temugin goes back to the monastery, which is where he is found in Iron Man (1998) #53. At that time Mandarin was supposed dead since IM(1998)#10. Mandarin's servant Po brings Mandarin's rings to Temugin im #53, and Temugin is the next Mandarin in several issues between then and #89. The original Mandarin returned in the IM: Director of SHIELD series. But Temugin is still around. He's been in the Super-Villain Team-Up/MODOK's 11 limited series. And he will turn up in the Agents of Atlas series on the side of the good guys.
