Pluto is a member of the Deities of Death along with Death, Hela, Mephisto, and Dormammu. Pluto and the other deities came across the Mandarin of China who wanted to live forever. To help him, the deities gave him the Demon Elementals and the Bands of the Underworld in exchange for the souls of all in his kingdom. Pluto took particular interest the mortal and watched his progress. Mandarin complied and the Elementals killed everyone. When the last drop of blood was spilled, the land consumed Mandarin and his temple.
