Savin is a goon. A henchman. I don't say Aldrich is Mallen because they are extremis junkies. But the role they play. And Mallen was a personal threat. That's why Tony took extremis to beat him and confronted him alone instead of calling. He saw Mallen as himself if he hadn't seen the light( And i'm not just speculating that he actually says it). Actually Kilian killed because he could. People died because of his transactions. And he could care less. No skin off his nose Mallen killed those who opposed his ideals(Like that goth girl). This dosn't make him any less psychopathic. But both go to (Dare i say it) Extreme lengths to achieve their twisted goals. And what fascinates me is Aldrich even plays the role of a terrorist. Oh Hogwash! Mandarin and Aldrich have different motives,powers,relationships with Tony and outlooks on life. To say they are one in the same because of 2 character traits found in most villains again is ridiculous. The things the Mandarin stood for in IM3, Aldrich could care less about
