Wong (Marvel)

## Relations

**Wong** (Chinese: **王**) is the current Sorcerer Supreme. When their former librarian was murdered by Kaecilius and the Zealots, Wong then became the highly protective keeper of all the ancient books when he met Stephen Strange, and assisted him in his studies. As Kaecilius attempted to use his power to bring Dormammu to Earth, Wong and the other Masters used their power to eventually defeat him, at the cost of Ancient One's death. With Kaecilius' conflict over, Wong had then joined Doctor Strange in protecting the New York Sanctum.

Wong stood with Strange and Iron Man when the Black Order had attacked the Earth in search of the Time Stone, holding them back until Wong was forced to remain behind to protect the Sanctum as Ebony Maw managed to kidnap Strange. When Strange perished along with half of the universe's population to Thanos, Wong became the new Sorcerer Supreme.

In 2023, he transported many of the revived Avengers and their allies to New York in a massive battle against an alternate Thanos, who had decided to destroy the universe with the Infinity Stones and create a new one in his image. The coalition opposing Thanos succeeded as Thanos and his army crumbled to dust, and Wong attended Tony Stark's funeral with Doctor Strange and the rest of their allies.

Wong will appear in a future Unity Force Series story.

## Personality

As a longtime student of the Ancient One and one of the most knowledgeable Masters of the Mystic Arts in Kamar-Taj, Wong is serious and unflinching when it comes to performing his duties, both as an instructor and later, a librarian of Kamar-Taj. After Kaecilius' betrayal, Wong gets more reluctant to trust others, and constantly puts up a stern appearance, to the point of threatening Doctor Strange when the latter was only trying to be friendly and make jokes when coming to borrow books. Despite being seemingly ignorant of contemporary pop culture, it is revealed that Wong actually enjoys his fair share of pop culture just like most are, but pretends to not be aware of it around others, and is less serious when others are not around. Like Karl Mordo, he has a great deal of respect for the Ancient One and the natural laws, but unlike the younger student, he is capable of moral flexibility and willing to bend said laws when the situation desperately calls for it, as shown when he approved of Strange's time-bending when confronting Dormammu.

Although initially hostile to Strange, due to the latter's attempts to be funny and exceeding inquisitiveness, Wong has come to appreciate those traits as well as Strange's exceptional gift at the Mystic Arts, eventually becoming one of his strongest allies, and his surrogate tutor in the absence of the Ancient One. He was deadset against Strange using the Eye of Agamotto as it violates the laws of nature, but after seeing Strange use it for the benefit of mankind rather than abusing it, he decided to let Strange inherit it once he mastered its powers, but advised him not to wear it in plain sight until then as it is the vessel of an Infinity Stone. Even though Wong is evidently a very serious person, he is not completely without a sense of humor, as he laughed at Strange’s remark about warnings coming after the spells upon the surviving Zealots’ transformations into Mindless Ones, which shocked Strange and Mordo.

## Abilities

* **Master Sorcerer**: Wong is one of the most powerful members of the Masters of the Mystic Arts, a highly skilled and experienced sorcerer, using his skills in the mystic arts to defend his native reality. Wong possesses a vast knowledge of magic, as he is knowledgeable of many dangerous spells and relics that were forbidden to all other Masters of the Mystic Arts, such as the Eye of Agamotto and the Dark Dimension ritual. Following Doctor Strange's capture, Wong assumed the role of the New York Sanctum's Master sorcerer, and he later surpassed him as the Sorcerer Supreme, albeit on a technicality.
	+ **Eldritch Magic Manipulation**: Wong is able to create, shape and manipulate Eldritch Magic into weapons, shields or spells. He used this ability when Bruce Banner crashed into the New York Sanctum to summon his shield in case of emergency and when fighting Maw, he conjured a shield large enough to block an entire city street to deflect several trees telekinetically hurled at him by Ebony Maw, and also conjured a larger shield in tandem with other sorcerers to provide cover from aerial fire during the Battle of Earth. He is also capable of using the same magic to form whips of fiery energy and cast a variety of different spells.
		- **Holographic Projection**: While explaining the Infinity Stones to Bruce Banner and Tony Stark, Wong generated a holographic display of the cosmos and the stones by conjuring Eldritch Magic formations.
		- **Portal Creation**: Using a Sling Ring, Wong is able to open portals that lead to different locations, gaining the ability to move across the material world and transport himself to other parts of the Multiverse. He can use this power offensively, as seen when he redirected Ebony Maw's telekinetically-fashioned brick spikes back at him, or when he opened a portal for the Abomination to punch himself in the face.
			* **Interdimensional Travel**: Using the same Sling Ring, Wong can travel between different dimensions of the Multiverse, crossing over different planes of existence or traveling across various forms of reality, with him most notably using it to defend against Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian's attack on Doctor Strange and himself.
		- **Barrier Creation**: Like many of his fellow sorcerers, Wong is able to use Tao Mandalas as shields in combat, as well as to control the size and shape of his shields. Notably, he projected and expanded a shield into a large circular wall construct that blocked off an entire street and stopped multiple projectiles of debris launched by Ebony Maw. Wong, along with several other Masters of the Mystic Arts, was also able to create a barrier to protect himself and his allies when Thanos ordered the *Sanctuary II* to bombard the battlefield during the Battle of Earth.
	+ **Astral Projection**: Wong is capable of separating his astral form from his body, gaining access to the Astral Dimension.
* **Expert Martial Artist**: Wong is a remarkably powerful fighter, as he was able to hold off the Zealots for a short period of time. Wong is also quite skilled in armed combat, with his main weapon of choice being the Wand of Watoomb.
* **Skilled Acrobat**: Wong possesses exceptional athleticism that allowed him to evade most of Abomination's punches and kicks during their fight at the Golden Daggers Club.
* **Multilingualism**: Wong is fluent in his native Chinese, English, and Sanskrit throughout his tenure in Kamar-Taj.
