Sorcerer Supreme

The Sorcerer Supreme is a title assigned to the most powerful magic user of their age, created to ward off threats to the universe and possibly multiverse. Some Sorcerers, including evil beings(though some hid it well), magical dimension beings like Doctor Mordrid, who cannot remain in the mortal world are disqualified. Wielders of the helmet of Dr. Fate are also disqualified as they serve the Lords of Order. The Wizard Shazam has a similar limitation as those he bestows powers to are loyal to a pantheon.

## **Sorcerer Supreme**

### **Agamotto(25,000 B.C.E.-19,000 B.C.E.).**

The First Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto was born of a tear from the elder Goddess Osthur of Earth in the year 25,000 B.C.E. His physical form resembled a caterpillar and he was of the same species as the interdimensional Mister Mind, though he soon acquired a humanlike form. In this form he forged the paths of power and became Earth's first Sorcerer Supreme, defending reality against Dormammu and the ancient Cybertronian known as the Fallen. He was not limited to Earth and travelled the Universe, including gaining knowledge in the Celestial Force within the Andromeda Galaxy. Among his creations was the eye of Agamotto, which he used to house the Time Stone, and the Orb of Agamotto as well as the Book of the Vishanti. Agamatto became so powerful that his name became used for summoning like that of the being Watoomb. Among the many actions of Agamotto were protecting humans and shapeshifters in crossing the Bering Strait from corrupt mages, trying and failing to prevent the sinking of the second Atlantis by the dark magic of Atlan in 24,000 B.C.E. fighting in the Wyrm war and fighting against the Boma in 20,00 B.C.E. A great conflict occurred between the Elder Gods including Oshtur, Cthon, Set and Gaea, in which Agamotto was included. The Assemblage of Avatars, the at the time greatest sorcerers and others brought the Elder Gods together with Zhered choosing to represent Gaea along with Lady Linnea. While the conflict between the Gods was not resolved, Agamotto was impressed enough to train Zhered as his successor, hoping to also alleviate tension caused by his power by providing the opposing side with an equal.

### **Zhered-Na(19,000 B.C.E.-15,000 B.C.E.)**

A sorceress from Atlantis practicing White Magic and worshipping Valka, the alleged son of the elder Goddess Gaea. Zhered negotiated with the Mayan Gods as they created South America in 18,490 B.C.E., and fought rampaging Decepticons which she sealed within the Nazca Lines in 18,000 B.C.E. Unfortunately Zhered, being from a city built unknowingly under the Cybertronian ship dubbed the Atlantis, predicted its destruction during the war when they would use the star saber. She was exiled by King Kamuu and Queen Zartra both for her prophecies and the monarch desire to use the weapon, which did indeed destroy Zhered's Atlantis. Zhered, like her mentor, fought the Wyrm. In 17,000 she prevented the Decepticon the Fallen from converting the Sun into Energon. Zhered would battle the Deep Ones and the Dwellers in the Depths, and while she would successfully prevent the return of the Old One Cthulhu, she would be killed by D'Spayre, an avatar of the Endless, who had allied with the Great Old Ones at this time.

### **Shamhat Saraswati(15,000-11,000 B.C.E.)**

A Sorceress and later Hindu Goddess. Her first major battle was aiding against the evil known as Morgoth, leading to his defeat in 14,925 B.C.E. She also battled the Dragon of the Moon, Cthulhu, the N'Garai, Shuma-Gorath, Sligguth, Siorioth, and the Trinity of Ashes. Due to the death of Zhered, she was more closely looked after by Agamotto and Oshtur. Shamhat's greatest failure was her defeat at the hands of Lavos and failure to save the magical kingdom of Zeal in 12,000 B.C.E. She joined the hunt against Morgoth during his potential return in 11,140 B.C.E. Her departure from the role was largely due to her ascension into the Hindu Goddess of Knowledge, Music, Art, Speech, Wisdom and Learning.

### **Meki-Ra(11,000 B.C.E.-10,000 B.C.E.)**

originally the Sorcerer Supreme of the House of Xal and known as the King of the Shamans and the greatest of all conjurer as well as the father of the Black Sciences. During his age man is said to have finally wrestled control from the Elder Gods with Meki-Ra keeping a crystal from this event. He also captured and studied a Symbiote. Meki-Ra fought against Morgoth in the War of Wrath. He also helped battle Dark Spector and seal away Devil Z on Earth in 10,000 B.C.E. His biggest mistake was to refuse to train Kulan Gath, who poisoned, killed, and ate him in response. His bones were later recovered and given a proper burial in a temple in the valley of Howls within the Shamar Mountains of Opar.

### **Kulan Gath(10,000 B.C.E.)**

The first case of a Sorcerer Supreme killing and eating his predecessor rather than being chosen. Oshtur had vanished during Saraswati's time due to her status as a Goddess as had Agamotto, evidently banished into the dimension of Wonderland and severely depowered, Unopposed by other Sorcerer Supremes, Gath married the witch Vammatar and formed an alliance to obtain the power of Shuma Gorath. He gained an apprentice in Razal-Gulath, who researched what would become the Lazarus Pit as Gath lacked the natural immortality that came from being chosen as Sorcerer Supreme. He made enemies of the immortal vampire Selene and the warriors Conan and Red Sonja. One of his plans was to obtain the Melnibonean Sorceress Terhali, who was exiled to Hyboria and placed in Suspended Animation. She awoke and immediately disintegrated his body. His spirit survived in a medallion he turned into a Horcrux until he gained enough power. Conan and Red Sonja once more fought them and this time they were destroyed in their effort to control Shuma-Gorath. With his followers also seemingly dead with the exception of the missing Razal-Gulath, Gath went missing for Millennium. His medallion was found and placed in the Metropolis museum until a thief stole and wore it. The Medallion went through a cycle of being lost and then possessing someone who discovers it. Gath since then clashed with Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and even Red Sonja once again as her spirit was brought forward in time into the body of her descendant Mary Jane Watson.

### **Ayesha of Balobedu(10,000 B.C.E.-6,000 B.C.E.)**

Agamotto returned from his century long exile to learn of the absence of anyone from the role. Lacking a clear choice he reached out to the great wizard aged Genghis for assistance. Genghis suggested holding a tournament. Many warriors including Conan. Red Sonja and Elric of Melnibone fought for the title but all backed out when they decided the prize was not for them. Instead the victor was Ayesha of Balobedu, an area known as the Black Kingdoms in Hyboria(Africa was still relatively unknown to the Hyborians). Because of her sudden appearance, very little of Ayesha's history prior to her ascension is unknown. She was known before competing as a rain Queen of Balobedu, which is native tongue translates to Mujaji. Mujaji is a goddess in Wakanda, however she is most likely named after the Goddess and hails from what would become Wakanda, travelling the land. As Sorcerer Supreme she battled Pitch Black and the Golden Army, the battle between the Lords and Order of Chaos. She allied with the Goa'Uld in 9,177 B.C.E. She fought Shao Khan's first attempted invasion of the realms before the establishment of Mortal Kombat in 8,450 B.C.E., The Witch Bandora in 8,000 B.C.E., the creation of the God Emperor of Mankind, the Gohma, Bokrug, the Battle Royale, the Crimson Devil and others. For unknown actions which are believed to be siding with the Goa'Ulds, she was removed from the position. However, she kept her immortality and in fact found new methods to gain further longevity with the flame of Eternal Youth in the lost city of Kor, from which she had her origins, and then becoming a vampire known as Akasha. Before turning, she lived as a noble woman in Egypt. Time travelling Magik noted a resemblance to X-Men member Ororo Monroe, who may be her descendant, likely conceiving prior to searching for the flame and then vampirism. This marks her as the second Sorcerer Supreme to turn evil in a row though this was long after her depowering. Ayesha would be killed by Janni Dakkar in 1941, but be revived sometime late due to her Vampirism before being killed again.

### **Hermes Trismegistus(6,000 B.C.E.-3,000 B.C.E.)**

Hermes Trismegistus had many names in many faiths, In the Cimmerian Age he was a sorcerer named Thoth who occasionally clashed with Conan the Barbarian. At first lacking power beyond magical artifacts, Thoth moved to Egypt, where he was slain in battle with Ayesha. Ironically this led him to become a God, the very thing he was thought to be in life as he spent the thousands of years after his death in the afterlife and was assigned a role, leading to worship among the Egyptians as the God Thoth, his head transformed into that of an Ibis. He was the god of the moon, wisdom, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art, and judgment, and was the scribe of the underworld. Thoth remained in this role until he saw an opening. The Goa'Ulds were impersonating the gods and Thoth was able to return and oust Ayesha's treachery, leading to her expulsion from the role of Sorcerer Supreme and Thoth was allowed to compete for the role himself, winning the title. Since belief in him now powered his abilities, Thoth set out to spread belief in himself among many cultures. Thoth fought the Urbankan ruler Monarch, the Osirian Sutekh, and aided Zeus in overthrowing his father Chronos in 5,000 B.C.E but died in the battle., Thoth, being a long dead god of the underworld, was reincarnated as Hermes, son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, who played a prank on Apollo, gaining a role in the Olympian Pantheon as well as the Egyptian. He was one of the gods along with Hecate that most represented magic. Now Hermes, he battled The Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis in 4,500 B.C.E. Rebirth as Hermes had permanently changed him and he was now youthful and cocky. When the threat of Sauron emerged in Midldle Earth, Hermes worked primarily with Gandalf to investigate, forming a friendship with the wizard. He helped very little during the War of the Ring as he was corrupted by darkness when he attempted to possess the wizard Saruman. Because of his corruption, Hermes became prejudice towards non human races and instigated a mass purge of such species including the sealing a group of monsters under Mount Ebott. Hermes, as an entity powered by worship, may have been warped by human perception of him. Hermes wanted to cement his hold and be worshipped in many cultures. In the British Isles, known then as Westeros, Hermes took the name R’hllor, the Lord of Light, connected to his aiding of Azor Ahai against the undead White Walkers as part of his plans to purge the world of non human folk. This backfired on Hermes, as it allowed Yahweh to create Adam and Eve following the purge of the other races, weakening the power of Hermes himself. He attempted to counter this by jumpstarting civilizations across the world in 4,000 B.C.E. It was his distrust of God which led Hermes to side with Lucifer in his rebellion, only to be defeated. The battle left Hermes so weakened that he travelled back to Egypt and began to combat the Goa' Ulds and Osirans along with the Felines of Thuban 9 and former sorcerer Supreme Akasha. In 3,500 B.C.E. He founded the Watcher's Council to combat vampires like Ayesha. He would aid Mathayus the Scorpion King in finally ending the reign of the Goa' ulds and the revival of the Egyptian pantheon in 3,400 B.C.E. This had the opposite effect as intended and made him weaker as Thoth was now worshipped as a separate entity from him. To counter this he journeyed to Europe, where he gained the full true name of Hermes Trismegistus by 3,300 B.C.E. The Goa' Uld were finally driven off by Mathayus and the Egyptian Gods in 3,100 B.C.E. Hermes fought alongside and witnessed Krishna die in the battle of Kurukshetra. In 3,067 B.C.E. Mathayus set out to conquer Greece. This left Hermes conflicted due to being connected to both pantheons but he ultimately chose Greece and played a hand in the defeat of Mathayus. His experience with Egypt led Zeus to choose him to watch over the now occupied territory. He grew worried over the appearance of En Sabah Nur in 3,000 B.C.E. but was occupied by threats such as Demon Queen Bansheera, Sutekh, Earthbound Immortals alongside the Crimson Dragon, and a single Dalek. Surprisingly it was not any of these threats that brought down Hermes but a confrontation with his old friend Gandalf. Gandalf sensed a growing darkness in Hermes and hoped to purge this darkness. This escalated into a fight in which Gandalf emerged victorious, purging Hermes of the evil influence. It was this incident which led Hermes to resign his role and pass it onto Gandalf. Hermes then departed back to Greece and the Olympian Pantheon.

### **Gandalf(3,000 B.C.E.-1,800 B.C.E.)**

Called Olonin in his native land of Valinor, Gandalf was born a Maiar, or a lesser angel, and was seen as among the wisest. He was sent among a group of five wizards to aid in opposing Sauron. Olonin took on mortal form for the conflict. When Sauron returned he aided in his defeat but was killed and revived as Gandalf the White. Upon the war's conclusion. He returned to confront Hermes and was agreed to replace him as Sorcerer Supreme. His first major battle was aiding Odin against Malekith and the Dark Elves, ancestors to the Elves of Middle Earth. In 2,950 B.C.E. Gandalf helped overthrow the time traveller Nathaniel Richards, who had established himself as Pharoah Rama Tut. He met the Arisian Mr.Am and helped establish defences against the Archdevils. He warned Prince Atrahasis to build an Ark to save his city from flooding. Gandalf also travelled into Space and helped gather the Jedi Assembly in the Andromeda Galaxy in 2,886 B.C.E. He returned to Earth with the Mondoshawans, who he agreed to help hide a weapon in Egypt for him to guard in 2,786 B.C.E., In 2,698 B.C.E. Gandalf fought back an Invasion of Mirror People with Huang Di. In 2,613 B.C.E. Gandalf overthrew the corrupt Pharaoh Nephren Ka, a worshipper of Nyarlahotep who had taken the throne after the vanishing of Anakaris. Gandalf also aided Gilgamesh in his journeys though how is lost to time, presumably around 2,600 B.C.E. Gandalf repelled a return of the Thubians by erasing their memories of their plan. Gandalf's reign as Sorcerer Supreme became largely peaceful until 2,351 B.C.E. when Gandalf learned of Yahweh's plan to flood the Earth. Gandalf attempted to prevent this and fought against Yahweh but was defeated, nearly dying in the process but not before defeating the Native American Chieftain Wisejak, the Sumerian Deity Gozer, and the Jarhanpurian Rama Khan, who were working to cause the flood. Gandalf was defeated by God and Death and did nearly die for good in both the battle and the flood but to an extent either encouraged god to warn others to build an Ark or did so, possibly posing as or being mistaken by him. Gandalf did survive the flood but was weakened. He reemerged in 2,148 B.C.E. to battle Nitrocris the Ghoul Queen, and fought Vandal Savage in 2,100 B.C.E. Feeling the devastation left from the Flood meant there was far too many people to help, Gandalf cast a spell to create a personification of a Nation. He did this in China due to the large number of people, resulting in the birth of the oldest national personification Wang Yao in the Xia Dynasty in 2,070 B.C.E. This was done to provide a figure to boost morale and move the nation forward. In 2,064 B.C.E. Gandalf helped prevent an Atlantean plot to free the Chronovore Chronos. Gandalf also defeated the Barban Pirates when they attacked Earth. Ultimately, gandalf felt his role being undermined at every turn as he could do nothing to challenge Yahweh's power, even being powerless as the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed in 1,959 B.C.E. It was his disillusionment with the role that led him to abandon it, but he intentionally passed it on to one who's viewpoints clashed with those of Yahweh in Zoroaster. Gandalf then departed back into the dimension he had departed following the war of the Ring. In an alternate universe, He was reported in an alternate universe where he was jokingly suggested as a nomination for the 1968 US Presidential election, only for him to appear and decree "I accept you nomination!". Despite this unorthodox approach, Gandalf's reputation and abilities allowed him to do quite well in the position. He eventually gave it up willingly, saying there were other worlds that needed him before disappearing in 1972 when a second term was assured. His last recorded battle was in the alternate universe of Imaginationland, where he may possibly still remain.

### **Zarathustra(1,800 B.C.E.-1,300 B.C.E.)**

An Ancient Sorcerer said to be older than time itself but this is likely not true. Zarathustra was a Sorcerer during the Hyborian Age. Known for his wisdom, he was chosen to be the keeper of the Serpent Crown. His efforts to use the crown for good broke his mind. He came to reside in a mosque within the nation of Asranistan during the age of Conan. Conan himself visited in search of the crown. Zarathustra offered a challenge which he won. Conan responded by setting fire to Zarathustra's library and then fleeing with the crown, leading Zarathustra to declare Conan as evil. Zarathustra laid low until Gandalf offered him the position, which he reluctantly accepted. He saw the world as a cosmic struggle between aöa ("truth") and druj ("lie"). As sorcerer Supreme, Zarathustra created imperfect copies of the Darkhold and the Necronomicon based on the writings etched on the walls of R'lyeh. His first battle was against Vandal Savage's Brotherhood of Nod in 1,800 B.C.E. and the same year Grand Karcist Ion and his followers. In 1,628 B.C.E. Zarathustra thwarted a plot by two alien races: the Humanoid Teloi and the Amphibious Nagommo. Zarathustra tried to help the Egyptian Gods battle Yahweh. Zarathustra did help save Egypt under Queen Nefertiti from Giant Space Locusts in 1,334 B.C.E. What led to Zarathustra resigning from the role of Sorcerer was his warnings to Pharaoh Seti, which led Seti to slay all the Hebrew children, an act which horrified Zarathustra and led him to resign the position. He became active in Persia as the founder of Zarathustrianism beginning in 800 B.C.E.

### **Salome Semiramis(1,300 B.C.E.-1,000 B.C.E.)**

Salome Semiramis was a member of a group known as the Blood, which united to combat evil. The Blood imprisoned the Demon Zarathos in 23,000 B.C.E. Some of the members broke apart and instead began to worship Zarathos, and named themselves after the ancient Decepticon the Fallen. This resulted in a long line of similarly named Sorceresses from the Hyborian Age including Salome and Taramis, twin sisters in 10,000 B.C.E. who were connected with the Blood. Salome herself was borh of the goddess Atargatis and a mortal in Assyria. Salome succeeded Zarathustra. One of the earliest known actions is to support Imhotep in his love with Anck-Su-Namun, granting him the Scroll of Thoth in the hope they could be together. She otherwise took no role in the war against Thebes and the labors of Heracles, seeing them as the business of the Olympians. She did however, take notice when in 1,250 B.C.E. the island of Nantucket from the year 1998 suddenly appeared. She worked with them towards containing the interaction the island had before finding a way to send them back. This largely took most of her time, though she did help repeal an Atlantean invasion of Egypt in 1,220 B.C.E. She also helped battle Teth Adam and defeat him in 1,204 B.C.E. In 1,200 B.C.E. a massive war broke out that saw the bronze age collapse of both Nantucket and several Mediteranean Kingdoms including the Sarkic civilization. Semiramis then became involved in the Trojan War when it broke out in 1,194 B.C.E. but was largely neutral, only trying to save the lives of mortals. After the War's end in 1,184 B.C.E. she tried to fight Set when he overthrew Osiris and then helped Thor retrieve Mjolnir when it was stolen by Loki. She then helped defeat Poseidon's attempt to bring the Titans back to Earth. They returned to pose a threat across all pantheos in 1,777 B.C.E. After the war she played a hand in driving the Cyclops to near extinction in 1,176 B.C.E. In 1,100 B.C.E. Semiramis helped Brutus battle the giants of what would become the British Isles and even helped grant his wish of creating a new system of magic. In 1,000 B.C.E. she helped battle the Orgs and their Conqueror Horath. Unlike her predecessors of Gandalf and Zarathustra, she believed Yahweh's followers were worthy to wield the power of the Sorcerer Supreme and passed it to Solomon, impressed by his warrior prowess against David. She would later marry the Assyrian King Ninus after his wife died. When Ninus died, she unsuccessfully attempted to use magic to revive him. This led her to develop madness, to the extent of waging war to capture Ara the Handsome due to being infatuated with him and him refusing her advances. This madness and her ego led to her demanding worship as a goddess which she received in the Assyrian city of Nimrud along with the rest of the Blood. She later turned on the Assyrians and liberated Babylon, creating a new Empire in 710 B.C.E. This Empire by 700 B.C.E. conquered India and Zamunda. She was punished by being stripped of her immortality, and finally died in 669 B.C.E.

### **Solomon Ben David(1,000 B.C.E.-931 B.C.E.)**

The Wise biblical King. Solomon was chosen at age 7 and trained from that point, in contrast to other Sorcerer Supremes who had great exploits even prior to their tenures. He took the position in addition to the role of King of Israel as the son of King David and prophet of the Israelite people. Solomon seduced the Queen of Sheeba and instigated a plan to imprison all Djinn in bottles. Solomon battled demons such as Lilith and her demon creations the Lilin. Lilith impersonated the Queen of Sheba, one of her daughters and conceived a child with Solomon, who had many concubines. Solomon amassed massive treasure including one trove called the Grotto of Solomon hidden in Africa. In 965 B.C.E. Solomon captured a Djinn in a brass vessel and cast it into the city of Ubar, or Iram of the Pillars. The jar poisoned the well of the city, causing hallucinogenic reactions and ultimately resulting in its destruction. Also, Solomon’s reign saw the bestowal of the Ark of the Covenant to their son, Menelik. His son with Makeda, Queen of Sheeba, He also created the alchemical formula for the elixir of Life. In 931 B.C.E. Solomon was betrayed by his own three great magicians and sent his son Aladdin elsewhere before he was killed. However, before his death he allowed his Wisdom to be taken from him by one of the Wizards Shazam in the hopes that it would be bestowed onto a great champion.

### **Hanuman(931 B.C.E.-550 B.C.E.)**

Born of mother Anjara and father Kesari. The Wind God Vayu had a hand in his birth and he was also an incarnation of Shiva, a God of Destruction. Godly pudding had been consumed by his mother prior to be his bith leading to inherit divinity. Born a monkey, he jumped towars the sun, thinking it was a fruit, only for Indra to break his jaw as punishment. This led to Vayu taking all the air from Earth until Hanuman was revived. To make up for this they all gave Hanuman gifts which made him immortal. This also gave him superhuman abilities that he used to pull pranks, resulting in a sage cursing him with amnesia. He would not remember his identity until 1,000 B.C.E. when the Bear Jambavan restored his memories to aid Rama and the others on their quest. When Solomon died, Hanuman was next in line. In 900 B.C.E. he helped transform Shambhalla into an enlightened society. It was Hanuman was fought the former Sorcerer Supreme Semiramis when she liberated Babylon fro the Assyrians in 710 B.C.E. Hanuman fought against the force of Planet X in 642 B.C.E. Hanuman also met the Buddha shortly after his ascension in 567 B.C.E. He foolishly attempted to fight the Buddha in 550 B.C.E. and was seemingly vaporized. Hanuman actually survived and was reincarnated as the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

### **Triumvirate(550 B.C.E.-400 B.C.E.)**

In 550 B.C.E. three greek philosophers and sorcerers decided to jointly fill the position of Sorcerer Supreme. This consisted of Thales the Milesian, Pythagoras of Samos and Pherecydes of Syros. They based their rule on Democratic political philosophy and believed they better matched the Trinity of the Vishanti, also known as the Elder Gods who empowered the Sorcerer Supreme. Immortality could not be split between them and so all three aged normally. Thales died in 545 B.C.E. and was replaced by Epimenides of Knossos. The results of the three were largely mixed. They cared more about philosophy and did nothing to save El Dorado when it was devastated in battle between the Cyrollans and the Quo-thalas. The also took steps to safeguard the Sands of Time when they were used in 518 B.C.E. They aided Cyrus Spitama in his quest by granting him travel through time and space in 516 B.C.E. They helped reform Rome into a Republic in 509 B.C.E. In 500 B.C.E. Pythagoras established Pythagoreanism with the aid of the other two members. Pythagoras died in 495 B.C.E. and was replaced by his apprentice Empedocles of Arigentum, who had studied the four elements. In 490 B.C.E. The Triumvirate reluctantly aided in fighting back the Persian Empire, resulting in the death of Darius I at the hands of the Spartan Kratos. They also helped the slayer battle Persian Vampires alongside the Slayer. They also attempted to free Cyrus Spitama when he was captured in China. The Triumvirate were shocked when Kratos rebelled against the Greek Gods, starting the third Titanomachy. They mostly worked to contain the damage. They then focused on recovery and preventing another Persian invasion of Greece in 480 B.C.E. by gathering an alliance, but failed to prevent the death of King Leonidas. Epimenides died in 434 B.C.E. and was replaced by Socrates. The Triumvirate became involved in the Peloponnesian War in 431 B.C.E and were impacted when the women went on a sex strike in 411 B.C.E. The Triumvirate had a great boon when Socrates in 410 B.C.E. was brought forward in time by the time travellers Bill and Ted. He relayed much of what he saw or at least understood and began to share his ideas of a Republic and the metaphor of the Cave. The last straw for the Triumvirate was their defeat at the hands of Pesithetaerus' floating fortress Cloudcuckooland, where all birds went on strike and the gods were defeated. This led to the dissolution when they failed to prevent their rise and blackmailing, though in many ways this was the straw the broke the camel's back.

### **Kratos of Sparta(400 B.C.E.-100 A.D.)**

A Spartan Warrior, Kratos offered his soul to Ares before his death against Barbarian warriors. He became a servant of the Gods after defeating Ares, his essence imprisoned in Themyscira. Kratos took his place as God of War until his betrayal by Zeus. He then launched an attack on Olympus and began the third Titanomachy. He slayed most of the Gods, before being thought killed by Arkantos. Faking his death, he travelled to Scandinavia and met the Giant Freya. Hebecame the adopted son of the young Loki, before becoming involved in bringing about Ragnarok in 462 B.C.E. He gained more power over time akin to an Allfather and had fought many warriors, being pulled from across time on several occasions. After the end of the Triumvirate Kratos did what they could not and forced CloudCuckooland into peace. He also fought in the Great Suwa War. He met Alexander the Great and saw him as a worthy leader. He also battled Gog and Magog in 338 B.C.E. and encouraged the Warehouse System for containing powerful artifacts in 332 B.C.E., including items he had discovered such as an Apple of Eden. Kratos also routinely fought Sea Monsters so that Alexander and Vito could recreate their likeness from their corpses. He was greatly saddened when Alexander died young in 323 B.C.E. Kratos had a hand in destroying the Daeva Race and aiding Qin Shi Huang in defeating the Sorcerer Lo Pan. He also assisted in helping Tom Bombadil and Saint Nicholas in establishing the Santa Claus Dynasty in 295 B.C.E. Thanks to the aid of an old friend who helped in the battle again Odin, Kratos allowed for gunpowder to be introduced on the World of Titan, by the Dwarves of Fangthane in 247 B.C.E. Kratos fought Godzilla when he emerged and attacked the forces of Hannibal in the Alps in 218 B.C.E. He also helped battle the Tao Tei in China in 214 B.C.E. Kratos fought and killed the monster the Dreamer in the Depths on another planet in 71 B.C.E. Having ignored the rise of the Roman Empire and the return of Roman versions of the Greek Gods he'd slain, Kratos fought against Xena and the Spartiat to prevent the fall of Sparta to no avail from 30 B.C.E. to 1 B.C.E. Kratos fought the personification the Roman Empire in 27 B.C.E. He also worked to contain a magically possessed Pious Augustus in 26 B.C.E. He also oversaw the rise of the moon's Silver Millennium in 8 B.C.E. As one of the Wise Men, Kratos along with Tyr and a Shazam, bestowed gifts onto the newborn Jesus, briefly having the wrong Child in Brian Cohen. In 10C.E. the Magus requested the power to grant the Gargoyles the ability to maintain their clothes when transforming to preserve their modesty. Kratos fought the corrupted Te Fiti until she was restored and briefly fought Maui. Kratos also met the now adult Jesus and is said to have been disappointed he was " Just a Man". Kratos fought and killed the Roman Vampire Dacicus, shortly after he bit and transformed Brian Cohen and Jesus was crucified in 33 C.E. Kratos at one point fought Cú Chulainn. Kratos fought against a conspiracy of the Pyroville, The Hand, the Sibylline Sisterhood, and the Jarhanpurian Rama Khan. which formed in 62 C.E. Kratos helped a Gaulish tribe escape the Romans to the other world of Deverry in 68 C.E. Kratos also helped Aquila and Simon Peter perform a ritual to ensure Jesus will become the God of Rome. In 79 C.E. The alliance of the Pyroville, The Hand, the Sibylline Sisterhood, and the Jarhanpurian Rama Khan made their move, which destroyed Pompeii and awoke Godzilla. The Roman Gods, recalling their old identities, had been revived since their deaths at Kratos's hands but were killed by Godzilla. Kratos once more fought the beast and briefly reunited with his son Loki, though from a much later point in time and from an alternate universe, who was there on a mission from the Time Variance Authority. It was a time anomaly caused by a crack in time which caused Kratos to vanish into time as though he never existed. The crack would be undone by the Time Traveller the Doctor but is would be some time before Kratos returned.

### **Zuo Ci(100 A.D.-419 A.D.)**

Born allegedly in 20 B.C. Zuo's abilities were Taoist in nature he was born Psychic. Zuo studied on Mount Emei in Sichuan, where he found T*he Book of Concealing Method(遁甲天書).* This book granted him many abilities including flight, interdimensional travel, passing through objects, shapeshifting, and summon weapons.

Trying to unite Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Zuo offered the books which had granted him his abilities to Cao Cao, and encouraged him to accept Taoism. Cao Cao admitted that he could not because of his role in the government. Zuo suggesting Liu Bei to replace him led to him being accused of being a Liu Bei agent. He was imprisoned, beaten and starved but this did nothing to him and he would crash a banquet, summoning food from the village to the area. Cao Cao would send Xu Chu after him. Zuo used various disguises to avoid Cao Cao's wrath including separating himself into several clones which were killed and disguising himself as a sheep . He was never found by him and Cao Cao died in 220. Zou also helped battle the Serpent King Orochi. Liu Bei died in 223 and Zuo was present to say farewell. He then joined the effort to stop Wei at the Wuzhang Plains in 234. He supported Zhuge Liang but saw in the future that he would die soon. This led to Zuo essentially giving up, believing his efforts were hopeless. He transformed into a crane and fled, retreating to the mountains to avoid persecution and committing himself fully to his role as Sorcerer Supreme. In 394 Zuo Ci investigated tales of a man devouring beast. He also arranged for the Personification of China to adopt the Personification of Japan in 400.

After she was defeated, Clea departed to rule the Dark Dimension, meaning she and Strange could no longer see each other. After the crisis in 1985, the alien Urthona challenged Stephen Strange for the Sorcerer Supreme title in 1986, while victorious Strange was forced to destroy many of the powerful artifacts Urthona had stolen. This lead to a rise in magical threats. He was assisted by the Minotaur Rintrah, He reluctantly agreed to learn dark magic from Kaluu, the Ancient One's old master. This magic led him to absorb Shuma Gorath and later expel him when the Old One attempted to invade Earth again and finally decided to begin a relationship with Clea. He also took Rintrah as an apprentice.

In 1991, Strange and Clea worked to gather allies to battle Thanos when he gathered the Infinity Gauntlet and his damage was eventually undone.Strange was challenged for the title by Ian McNee and Nicodemus. Strange formed a new alliance of supernatural hunters including Morbius, Ghost Rider, and Blaze in 1992. They fought the Demon Lilith. Strange also briefly trained Lord Julian Phyffe before he abandoned sorcery. He fought against the Magus along with other heroes. The original Defenders came together to defeat the Demon Shandar, a self proclaimed Sorcerer Supreme of another universe. Around this time, the war of the Seven Spheres broke out which several gods including the Vishanti. Strange refused to participate as the battle could have taken thousands of years. The Vishanti therefore depowered him significantly to return the abilities they granted him. As a result he was unable to end the Eugenics Wars and the Harvester invasion, but fought against both in reduced power. He took on another apprentice in Kyllian Boddicker in 1993. He was brought in to aid the being the Goddess in both the Infinity Crusade and the War of the Seven Spheres, largely to regain most of his power. Kyllian was pulled into another dimension and met a girl named Iskelior, choosing to remain there. Lilith began to attack Earth again with Strange and the Midnight Sons, battling her forces. Thus resulted in the death of Wong's wife Imei in 1993, which caused Wong to leave. Lilith's forces were banished and Kyllian rescued by the sorcerer Mordred. Strange thwarted the schemes of the British Corporation Mys-Tech, the magic focused government of the Norsefire Regime. In 1994, Strange fought the dragon KhLOG. He was challenged by the former Sorcerer Supreme Salome and was defeated. He trained for a rematch while creating duplicates of himself, one to help the Midnight Sons and one to study more magic. This split persona took on a life of its own and took the name Dr.Orpheus, even having a family of his own. Strange decided to allow him to continue to exist despite the fact he possessed a fraction of the real Strange's power. He also recruited Doctor Druid for help. Salome was never officially declared Sorcerer Supreme due to their alliance with Lord Voldemort. It was this action that led to Wong switching sides to helping Strange, but refusing to return to being a servant, now being seen as an equal. While Strange defeated Salome, he was now forcibly pulled into the War of Seven Spheres, where the Vishanti fought the Trinity of Ashes for 5,000 Years but returned months later on Earth, during which Wong had acted in his place. Strange was offered and accepted a position as President of MACUSA in 1995.

In 1998, Strange fought the cultist Jonathan White. He also fought his old enemy Yandroth with the aid of the reformed original Defenders. Strange also took the Mystic Topaz as his 5th known disciple, but she left his teachings. He and other magically gifted beings guided in training Harry Potter due to his potential role in the future as Sorcerer Supreme. In 2003, Doctor Strange defeated the Bottle Imp, a sealed off Genie. In 2004, after Wanda Maximoff lost control of her powers in a mental breakdown and attacked the Avengers, Strange took her for training, making her his 6th Apprentice. This ended when she snapped, creating a short lived alternate reality in 2005 before she went missing, something later discovered to be manipulated by Doctor Doom. Strange stayed out of the Superhuman Registration Act though he was strongly against it and cut off ties with Tony Stark and Mr.Fantastic. He even supported Captain America's Secret Avengers. Peter Parker asked him to see if he could remove memories of his unmasking but this nearly broke the multiverse and alternate versions of Spider-Man and his enemies from across time as well. He helped battle the Hulk when he came to Earth after his exile. Strange recruited the mutant Dead Girl to investigate the Hellish Pitiful ones in 2006. He was attacked the mystically powered Supervillain the Hood in an ambush which delayed his response to the 2007 Skrull Invasion. He began training Wiccan as his 7th apprentice. Jericho Drumm was considered a successor before his death. Strange defeated the Ancient Ones when they awoke in 2012.

In 2013, Strange and the Illuminati learned about the Incursions, which were destroying realities. Determined to find a way to stop the Incursions, Strange dove more and more into the study of Dark Magic. Strange rescued America Chavez from a corrupted Wanda Maximoff during this time as well as defeating an alternate version of himself. His corruption led to his removal as President of MACUSA in 2014 and an alliance with Doctor Doom, who had found a way to protect Earth at the cost of becoming its ruler. Strange was thus seen as a traitor for siding with Doom and his takeover in 2015, which lasted until 2018 when he was finally overthrown, though many heroes including Spider-Man perished. Strange also worked with Doom to defeat the Beyonders and the Empirikul, who seeked to destroy all magic. Now a pariah, Strange largely remained hidden until the attack by Thanos to claim the Infinity Stone in his possession. He was forced to give the Stone up to save a life, resulting in half of all life being erased including himself until it was undone by the Avengers in 2023. While Strange defended that he had looked into countless futures and had seen the outcomes as the only way, he was largely hated and there were calls to remove him from the position of Sorcerer Supreme or even arrest him. These points would be rendered mute when his old enemy Kaecilius, apprentice of Baron Mordo, ambushed Strange and stabbed him to death before being subdued. Strange had selected his wife Clea as his successor, but was overruled due to the recent controversy involving Strange, though Clea is immortal and will likely take over after the most recent Sorcerer Supreme resigns.

### **Harry Potter(2023-)**

Harry's destiny as the Sorcerer Supreme or "Merlin" was fist known in 1990. After his defeat of Lord Voldemort in 1998, he was taken for training by several figures including Dr.Strange, the Phantom Stranger, Doctor Occult, John Constantine and Mr.E. Mr.E. Potter was taken across time to learn the history of magic from Camelot to Atlantis and was nearly killed by Mr.E. at the end of the universe before being rescued. Harry was then returned and would become the chief of the Aurors. In 2009, he learned of a failed attempt to turn him into an Antichrist and briefly lost control before having his darkness expelled. His exploits were turned by T.R. Francis, into the Angelica Button series. While he was appointed to the position recently, he has a family and intends to eventually abandon the role and pass it to Clea Strange. Other candidates included Adam Young, an averted AntiChrist guided by an angel and a demon, the Umbra Witch Bayonetta, Justin Russo, Harry's friend and UK Minister of Magic Hermione Granger, and Shirou Emiya.
