Temugin is a tank smasher, but he hasn't got the panel time or library of feats to put him at Val levels. Ripping three levels of sh!t outa ironman is cool as hell for a Chi specialist MA, it isn't quite up there with hurting Kryptonians.
Marvel need to re-introduce Tem back into the semi mainstream, he was beastly before Ironfist was beastly, but i suppose there isn't room for another uber chi amper while danny is being marketed so hard.
Temugin and Mandarin are barbarian archetypes as much as they are martial artists. The way to differentiate their Chi use from Danny's is to focus on how it enhances their strength and toughness and savagery, whereas Danny's Chi is focused into agility and precision. Which is what they already do, kinda. But they could make the difference even sharper and clearer instead of just kind of being implied.
It pisses me off that a character named Temugin is a preening monk, he is named after Genghis Freaking Khan, his appearance needs to be drastically changed.

He isn't really a "preening" monk. He's actually been written with a barbarian personality most of the time. In Iron Man he was all about killing Stark to avenge his family's honor. In Agents of Atlas, he was barbarianish character always leaping at the enemy in a rage. He may look like a monk at a glance, but really he's a barb.
Yeah, if he's sick. If he's fully healthy, it would be a different story. That Val was able to dodge lightning and he looked like he got fried. That version was supposedly Pre-Crisis.
Dodge lightning? ok, now what are you implying when bringing up a feat like this? Why would he go H2H with anyone else for his entire career if he can willingly dodge lightning? He'd never take a hit from anyone below Kryptonian Prime speeds. Are we to assume him dodging lightning is his 'normal' or 'average' level of operation? If Yes..then 'Spite thread' if no..then why bring it up?
He's done more than dodging lightning. He also made Equus look stupid his first time around and chopped off his arms. Temugin's chi abilties will keep him in the game, IMO. So, it's not a stomp in either favor.
