Dormmamu (Earth-7642)

**Dormammu** is a primordial inter-dimensional entity who wields apocalyptic levels of supernatural power and is the ruler of the Dark Dimension, where time didn't exist, making him virtually immortal. Although Dormammu had already conquered many realities throughout the Multiverse, he couldn't invade Earth due to the Sanctums built by the Masters of the Mystic Arts to protect it from any extradimensional threat.

## History

### Early life

Born untold thousands or even millions of years ago in the dimension of the vastly powerful energy-entities called the Faltine, Dormammu and his sibling Umar gathered matter to themselves to increase their power, a practice anathema to their fellow Faltine, becoming their dimension's mightiest sorcerers. Ultimately slaying their parent Sinifer, they were driven from their home dimension, the Faltine deeming their garnering of such energy intolerable, and assumed human form to explore others. Their search for conquests brought them to the Dark Dimension, a mystic realm riddled with natural warps into pocket universes within the dimension itself.

At the time of their arrival, the Dark Dimension’s multi-species society had been at peace for almost 28,000 years and was in the third millennium of the rule of King Olnar. Despite the warnings of his sorcerer advisors the Mhuruuks, Olnar offered Dormammu and Umar sanctuary and power in exchange for the knowledge of how to shatter dimensional barriers and absorb other dimensions into his domain. After decades of such conquest, Dormammu, whether by chance or design, led Olnar to the dimension of the Mindless Ones, indestructible rampaging dreadnoughts who slew Olnar and many other Dark Dimension denizens. Dormammu and Umar repelled and confined the creatures, using the confusion to murder most of the Mhuruuks, and were hailed as heroes by the Dark Dimension, of which they were proclaimed regents; Olnar’s infant son Orini, deemed no threat, was allowed to live under their care. As ruler, Dormammu partially reverted to flaming Faltine form and merged his essence with that of the Dark Dimension’s innate mystic energies, increasing his power enormously.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Transcendent Demon Physiology:** He is considered more powerful than Neron, Marduk, Mephisto and Satannish and apparently served as the creator of the latter. He is a demon equal in power to Trigon, Barbatos, and Nekron. Dormammu is of sufficient skill and might to tamper with the spells of Odin against his will. Dormammu had sufficient magical power to hold his own against clashes with Agamotto (a spawn of one of the Old Ones with power enough to stalemate Galactus) when the latter served as the Amalgam Universe's first Sorcerer Supreme.
	+ **Sorcery over the Flames of the Faltine:** Dormammu is composed of pure mystic energy, eclipsing even the greatest of sorcerers in terms of raw power and the ability to manipulate the forces of magic, including Doctor Strange and the Ancient One. Dormammu is virtually indestructible and immortal due to his energy form composed of raw magical energy which is increased and replenished, at least partially, by worship throughout various dimensions. Dormammu has also shown himself capable of besting wielders of the Phoenix Force.
	+ **Dark Dimension Manipulation**: As the absolute ruler of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu has absolute control over the Dark Dimension, with the dimension itself warping to form his face and even form other body parts, such as a hand. He uses the dimension's power as a weapon, utilizing it to constantly kill Doctor Strange over and over again, either with energy blasts or by manipulating the very ground he stood on, when the latter trapped him in an infinite time loop using the Eye of Agamotto.
	+ **Energy Projection:** Manifestations ranging from force bolts and cursed conflagrations to magically-constructed beings, or empowering others to such a point that the empowered one wields power dwarfing even that of a dimension's Sorcerer Supreme.
	+ **Energy Absorption:** He can draw upon the power of the entire Dark Dimension, but is somewhat more limited when present in another dimension.
	+ **Matter Transmutations:** The ability to alter and shape object in his Dark Dimension to a weapon of his choosing.
	+ **Banishment:** Dormammu can banish all from his domain (the Dark-Dimension) but usually opts to fight them. Dormammu once was capable, even in Earth's dimension, where his powers decrease, of imprisoning the Lords of Order at the center of the Earth
	+ **Inter-dimensional Teleportation/Transportation:** Creating portal allows him to view and/or step both within or between other dimensions, as well allowing to transport power and object through them.
	+ **Transformations:** Compose of mystical energy allows him the ability to manipulate himself with relative ease changing his appearance and his size as to cause massive growth.
	+ **Flight:** Dormammu can use his mystical energy to enable himself to fly at supersonic speeds
	+ **Size Alteration**: Dormammu can increase his size to incredible levels, which greatly increases his strength.
	+ **Psionics**: He requires a special spell as well as huge amounts of energy in order to conduct mind control powers.
	+ **Reality Manipulation**: By conducting deals with mortals, he can manipulate reality to suit their need in exchange for absorbing their souls.
	+ **Necromancy**: Dormammu capable of animating countless dead bodies and bending them to his commanding will.
	+ **Object Materialization**: Dormammu has the ability to create matter and materials out of nothing:
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Dormammu possesses some degree of superhuman strength. He is capable of using his magical powers to augment his strength, enabling him to lift well in excess of 100 tons.
	+ **Invulnerability**: Dormammu is nearly immune to harm both physical and mystical.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor**: His race is immune to diseases and toxins and can recover from almost any injury no matter how severe.
	+ **Immortality**: Dormammu is completely immune to aging. He had lived for thousands or even millions of years and has never aged a day.
	+ **Power Bestowal**: Dormammu bestowed mystical powers to Kaecilius and his Zealots from the Dark Dimension, making them powerful enough to challenge the strength of the Ancient One herself. They notably gained the ability to fold space without being inside the Mirror Dimension, which allowed them to form Space Shards. However, his bond to his followers also allowed him to absorb them into his Dark Dimension at will, turning them into Mindless Ones.

### Abilities

* **Super-Genius Intelligence** though not Omniscient as he claims he is still considered a Super-Genius compared with the rest of the universe.
* **Master Martial Artist:** Trained in an extra-dimensional fighting style, Dormammu is a capable hand-to-hand combatant, but was once bested by the well-trained, in Martial Arts, human Doctor Strange when neither was using mystic powers.

### Weaknesses

* Dormammu's magical powers are stated and shown to be weakened when on Earth or in any other dimension not of his own, failing to pierce Earth-616's dimensional boundaries directly from the Dark Dimension when they were secured by the spells of the Sorcerer Supreme; even a temporary dimensional aperture with other dimensions has been shown to weaken him, sapping his mystic prowess sufficiently that the Sorcerer Supreme of the Earth dimension could rival him in direct magical combat.
