Dormammu is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Strange Tales #126 (Nov. 1964), and was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

Debuting in the Silver Age of comic books, Dormammu has appeared in over four decades of Marvel publications, featuring prominently in the Doctor Strange titles and limited series as the recurring nemesis of the mystic hero. The character has also appeared in associated Marvel merchandise including animated television series; toys; trading cards and video games.

Publication history

Origin

Dormammu first appears in Strange Tales #126 - 127 (Nov. - Dec. 1964), and after being established as a warlord from an alternate dimension became a perennial foe of Sorcerer Supreme and maverick Dr. Strange, who until this time had dealt almost exclusively with off-beat "one-off" mystical threats in Strange Tales #110 - 125 (July 1963 - Oct. 1964). Strange's first encounter with Dormammu in the "Dark Dimension" also introduced Clea - eventually revealed to be the niece of the villain (like Clea's name, this was not initially revealed in Strange Tales #126 (Nov. 1964)) and the monstrous and imprisoned Mindless Ones.

Notable appearances include starring in an epic fifteen issue storyline in Strange Tales #131 - 146 (April - 1965 - July 1966); teaming with fellow villain Loki to instigate the "Avengers-Defenders War" in Avengers #115 - 118 (Sep. - Dec. 1973) and Defenders #8 - 11 (Sep. - Dec. 1973); Thor Annual #9 (1981); Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #1 - 2 (Nov. 1988 & Jan. 1989) and the limited series Doctor Strange: The Flight of the Bones #1 - 4 (Feb. - May 1999) and Hellcat #1 - 3 (Sep. - Nov. 2000).

After a major appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #498 - 500 (Oct. - Dec. 2003), Dormammu became the patron of small-time villain the Hood in New Avengers #46 (Dec. 2008).

Despite this, both villains are defeated, with Dormammu being absorbed into Eye courtesy of a hex cast by Avenger the Scarlet Witch.[5]
