Biography[]
Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme[]
Thousands of years ago, Dormammu attempted to take over all worlds, including Earth, but was imprisoned in the Dark Dimension by the Ancient One.
However, Dormammu was still able to influence Earth, putting children in a coma and giving them nightmares of him so that he could gain power from them and return to Earth.
As Stephen Strange begins awakening the children to prevent Dormammu from returning, Karl Mordo projected into the Dark Dimension by entering a child's dream and makes a deal to serve Dormammu in exchange for becoming the Sorcerer Supreme. Dormammu takes over the minds of the remaining children while Dormammu's last monsters, the deadly Wing Marks are unleashed and Mordo kills the Ancient One.
Eventually, Dormammu enters Earth through the brainwashed children. When Mordo is defeated by Strange, Dormammu (apparently) devours him as punishment for his failure and steals the Eye of Agamotto. Strange fights him and after being informed by Wong that Dormammu is a being comprised of pure magic, he uses the Eye to absorb Dormammu's power, seemingly destroying him.
Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer's Apprentice[]
Despite Dormammu's apparent death, he still lived on through his dark energy. He sent his Shadow Hounds to once again invade New York, however Strange and Wong once again foiled his plan. Despite a victory, one of the hounds bit Strange's apprentice Clea. Which caused her to be corrupted by Dormammu's dark magic. Eventually Strange was able to extract Dormammu's corruption from Clea's body, ending another conflict.
