Biography[]
Axon-Karr was a member of a race of space dragons known as Makluans. His space vessel crash landed on Earth in mainland China many years ago. Emerging from the craft, Axon-Karr was perceived as a monster by the locals, who attacked him, doling out a mortal injury. Axon-Karr retreated to a cave to nurse his wounds.
A troubled and ambitious Chinese man who later became known as the Mandarin, discovered Axon-Karr, and through their exchange, learned of the existence of ten powerful crystals used in the star drive engine of his ship. The Mandarin slew Axon-Karr, then used the crystals to form ten powerful rings, which would become his trademark weapons for years to come.
