==Summary==
Dormammu is the ruler of the Dark Dimension and the archenemy of Doctor Strange. 
After he and his sister Umar killed their own father in their home realm, they were forced to flee to the Dark Dimension where they taught to its ruler King Olnar the ability to absorb universes into his dimension in exchange for a residence. However, Olnar was later killed by an invasion of the Mindless Ones, which were defeated by Dormammu and Umar. Since there was no king left, Dormammu took the throne for himself and absorbed the flames of regency to increase his own power. 
He has since turned the Dark Dimension into an absolutely hellish dystopia with himself as the god-tyrant in charge, and constantly plans for multiversal conquests.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , possibly , inside the Dark Dimension | 
Key: Base | Amplified by the Cosmic Axis
Name: Dormammu
Origin: Marvel Comics
Gender: Male
Age: Over 4 billion years old (Created Satannish, and guided his early development)
Classification: Faltine (A race of sentient, magical & higher-dimensional energy beings), Ruler of the Dark Dimension
Powers and Abilities:
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics
**Abstract Existence (Type 1: Concept), Resurrection (Mid-Godly; Not Combat Applicable), Empowerment, Immortality, & Regeneration (Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, & 8; Low-Godly - Dormammu is a concept, a shared belief among all of his followers, and so long as there are those who worship him, energy shall form itself to become him, even if he is completely destroyed (with he himself implying that he'd been erased from existence, as he referred to actions done before his destruction as being done "in a previous existence"), and his body is made of raw extra-dimensional energy that comes from the belief and worship of his followers, and he is also made stronger from terror and hatred. Doctor Strange stated that Dormammu survived having his entire essence scattered across a dozen dimensions, allowing him to contact his minions and organize their attack on Earth. Dormammu also survived having his essence being shattered into psychic shards (with Dormammu also stating that his "very being" was shattered) and scattered across multiple realities/dimensions, managing even as a powerless essence devoid of form to attach himself to Doctor Strange until he found an opening to take over Strange's body while Strange's soul was outside of his body. As long as Dormammu's spirit survives, he can exist without a body) 
**Incorporeality (His body is made of raw extra-dimensional energy that comes from the belief and worship of his followers)
**Higher-Dimensional Existence (Writer Anthony Oliveira confirmed Dormammu is an interdimensional being that transcends realities and transcends several planes of existence.
*Faltinian/Dark Dimension Physiology & Magic
**Master of Sorcery on the level of a Sorcerer Supreme
**Likely Hell-Lord Magic/Physiology (Has repeatedly been considered as one of the Hell-Lords)
***Energy Projection & Manipulation (Can fire beams and control their trajectory. Held Clea in a magic cage and ensnared Strange in magic chains)
*Space Survival
*Transmutation, Fusionism & Absorption (One of his Darkspells unleashed a "dimensional tidal wave" to melt and merge the Mhuruuks into a single miasmic mass which he then had the G'uranthic Guardian absorb in order to add their mystic essence to that of the Guardian's, a spell that not even Umar could reverseDoctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme #24)
**Absorption (Absorbed Umar and Baron Mordo, taking their power for himself)
*Passive Perception Manipulation (Due to Dormammu's very nature, every person who views him sees him slightly differently, making it impossible for a group of enemies to attack him simultaneously as their attacks would "shriek in disharmony")
*Reality Warping & Dimensional Manipulation (Can warp the higher-dimensional Dark Dimension to fit his needs on a whim.
**Reality Warping, Chaos Manipulation & Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1 - Dormammu is capable of warping both reality as well as Lord Chaos himself in a chess game against Odin, and should Dormammu have won the chess game, then Lord Chaos would've grown far more powerful than Master Order and overrun the universe as a result. The Dark Dimension is described as "chaos personified", and Dormammu can manipulate the Dark Dimension on a whim. Uses the essence of chaos to maintain the Dark Dimension's existence)
**Matter Manipulation (Molecular - Without Dormammu's governance, all molecular activity in the Dark Dimension would cease)
*Martial Arts (Dormammu is comparable in combat skill to Doctor Strange, barely losing while merely toying with him, forcing Strange to use trickery to prevail)
*Likely Social Influencing (Tricked his sister Umar into imprisonment through unknown means)
*Mind Manipulation (Took over Scarlet Witch's mind)
*Illusion Creation (Created a world full of illusions through which he planned to turn Ghost Rider into an enemy of Doctor Strange. Trapped Doctor Strange in an illusion where his life took a different course)
*Darkness Manipulation & Pain Manipulation (Through an illusionary Doctor Strange, surrounded Ghost Rider with a sphere of darkness that inflicted great agony with every moment he spent in it)
**Darkness Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, Air Manipulation & Regeneration (Low-Godly - Dormammu can extract and draw sustenance from the very darkness of the Dark Dimension, doing so even as a pale spirit to reform his body and empower himself, before using it to turn the sky black and turning the very air into a latticework of shade and shadow.
*Corrosion Inducement (Melted a substance that Strange surrounded him with)
*Power Bestowal (Gave Mordo great power, albeit temporarily)
*Summoning (Summoned a myriad of specters to hunt down Strange, and his power can even forcefully summon Umar)
*Body Puppetry (Controlled Mordo's body as his mind went empty, and can do the same to unwilling subjects too)
*Retrocognition & Clairvoyance: Can replay and witness any event that has happened in his dimension with the aid of a simple mystic spell.
*Telepathy (Can sense whether humans lie or not)
*Illusion Negation (Erased Strange's illusion)
*Passive Madness Manipulation (Type 3 - Absorbing or coming into contact with Dormammu's essence would drive one insane)
*All the powers and resistances of Doctor Strange (, and )
Resistance to:
*Sorcery on the level of a Sorcerer Supreme
**Faltinian/Dark Dimension Magic
**Hell-Lord Magic (The Hell-Lords feared him and banded together just to have a chance of stopping him)
*Sealing (Dormammu stated that not even a group of some of the most powerful sorcerers out there (such as Doctor Voodoo, Scarlet Witch, Daimon Hellstrom, and Wong) could bind him with their magic, something which Voodoo did not dispute)
*BFR (The Ancient One could not banish Dormammu, and neither could Umar)
*Power Nullification (Was entirely unaffected by a bullet made from a unique substance that could nullify the magic power of any wizard or spell, despite those bullets having instantly nullified the magic powers of other sorcerers)

Fought the Trinity of Ashes, who are equal to the Vishanti, and Slorioth, a pan-dimensional entity whose totality is vast beyond what any single dimensionality could hope to contain,Secret Defenders #25 extending over all higher dimensions, of whichGhost Rider 2099 Vol. 1 #25 there isChildren of the Voyager #3-4 anSecret Wars II #2 infinite number), possibly Low Outerverse level (Wounded Shuma-Gorath by blasting him in the eye, although Shuma-Gorath is still far stronger. After fusing with an alternate counterpart of himself, , a host to the Phoenix Force  Eternity. Helped Eternity seal away Zom), Low Outerverse level in the Dark Dimension (Much more powerful than outside of his home domain. Although he was inferior, his weakest incarnation was able to hold his own against Eternity, with the clash threatening to destroy them both. Is usually far more powerful than Doctor Strange even when the latter uses preparation and his most powerful spells)
Speed: Infinite (Scaling from Odin) to Immeasurable (His Crimson Bands of Cyttorak kept up with and eventually caught Doctor Strange's Astral Form despite it going at maximum speed to flee them, with Astral Forms at their peak (such as when used by a master of Astral Projection like Doctor Strange) being this fast.), Immeasurable in the Dark Dimension (Fought against Eternity. Exists entirely beyond time and space, viewing them as "dirty little geometries")
