Marvel Chronology Project

Mandarin and Wong Chu weren’t updated when Iron Man and Ho Yinsen were, so all we need to do to take care of the duplicate listings in Wong Chu’s chronology is to match his appearances to Iron Man’s.

Mandarin appears in IM 267-268-FBs, and these appearances reveal that he’s -BTS in ToS 39. However, he’s not controlling everything that Wong Chu is doing, he’s just his boss. There’s no reason to have ToS 39-BTS in Mandarin’s chronology more than once.

Also, we need to clean up some panel counts in Iron Man’s chronology.
