Trevor Slattery (Earth-9422)

"My name is Trevor, Trevor Slattery. What are you? Are you a decoy? You're a double, right? What? Like an understudy? No, absolutely not. I'm an actor."

- - Trevor Slattery Trevor Slattery was an actor English actor with legal and drug addiction problems until he was approached by Doctor Aldrich Killian to pose as the fake idealized perfect terrorist known as the Mandarin. Publicly taking responsibility for Killian's terrorist attacks through the United States, the Mandarin convinced the world he was in command of the dangerous terrorist organization called the Ten Rings, becoming the most feared terrorist worldwide after Osama bin Laden. After Killian was defeated and killed, Slattery was exposed as the liar and coward he truly was and was placed in Iron Heights Penitentiary by Iron Man and War Machine, where he turned into a "celebrity". Sought by director Jackson Norris to produce a documentary, he subdued Trevor, revealing himself to be an agent of the real Mandarin, who wanted Trevor's head for impersonating him.

Early Life
"I know it's a little over the top sometimes. It's not entirely my fault; he has a tend... he's... he's a stage actor. They say his Lear was the toast of Croydon, wherever that is."

- - Aldrich Killian

Trevor Slattery was born in London, England, to a caring mother who always encouraged her son to follow his dreams. His dream was to become a world-renewed stage actor, and his mother would often take her son to view expectacles in order to help fuel his passion for acting. Even though Trevor's mother meant everything for him, he failed to be alongside her when she died in 1986, as he was pursuing his dream of being a actor in the United States.

As Trevor continued in his attempt to become a famous stage actor, he turned into a small-time actor whose biggest fame was to star in an unsold 1987 CBS series called Caged Heat, where he portrayed a stereotypical Russian police officer. The series was never aired duo ot it's poor quality and bizarre elements, such as a drunken monkey. In order to compensate for his failure, Slattery always woulc claim the series was way too sophisticated for normal TV watchers. Trevor than later on also claimed and insisted he had worked with and befriended actor Sean Connery, though that was a lie.

The Mandarin
"Some people call me a terrorist. I consider myself a teacher. America... Ready for another lesson? In 1864 in Sand Creek, Colorado, The U.S. military waited until the friendly Cheyenne Braves had all gone hunting. Waited to attack and slaughter the families left behind and claim their land. The Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait was attacked. I-I-I did that. A quaint military church, filled with wives and children of course. The soldiers were out on manuvers. The "Braves" were away. President Obama, you continue to resist my attempts to educate you, sir. And now, you've missed me again. You know who I am. You don't know where I am. And you'll never see me coming."
