Also, I'm not familiar with the comics except The Thanos Imperative and Deadpool vs. Thanos (in which Deadpool kills Thanos and is in turn killed by Doctor Doom coz Thanos took away his immortality). Who are the Masters of Evil? No the real Mandarin is still alive. Neither Killian or Slattery were the real Mandarin. They both thought that the Mandarin was an urban myh, so they used it as a cover. They didn't know the Mandarin was real. Or to look at it from an out-of-universe perspective, Killian was the real Mandarin until Marvel saw how many fans were enraged by that, so then they said "Quick, we need to make a One-Shot and establish that there's a different Mandarin!"
