Dormammu is an extra-dimensional mystical entity and typically an enemy of Doctor Strange.

Biography[]

Dormammu is a mystical entity who travels from dimension to dimension. He consumes the life energy of each dimension and conquers the dimension. Dormammu brings destruction to every universe he conquers on his conquest. Much like Galactus consumes planet, Dormammu consumes the life energy of entire Universes.

At some point he set his sights on our dimension and made Baron Mordo his assistant. He had Mordo brainwash various people in order to steal devices that would allow him to enter our dimension. One such recruit was Mary Jane Watson, the love of Peter Parker. Mary Jane along with other recruits broke into Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum in order to steal the Wand of Watoomb. Together with Doctor Strange, Spider-Man was able to stop the attackers and learn of Mary Jane's whereabouts. Peter Parker infiltrated the cult on his own and was consequently brainwashed. When the recruits again attacked the Sanctum Sanctorum Doctor Strange was able to remove the spell controlling Spider-Man. However, the Wand was taken.

Mordo used the Wand to allow Dormammu to enter our world. But Doctor Strange and Spider-Man stopped the ritual. Spider-Man entered Dormammu's world to get the Wand back. Dormammu attempted to stop the wallcrawler from leaving but was tricked. Before the portal could close Dormammu grabbed Mary Jane and attempted to pass himself off as her father. However, Doctor Strange had already showed her father's true nature to her so she did not believe him and escaped.

After his first plan failed Dormammu realized that the Venom symbiote had reproduced. He ordered Baron Mordo to change the course of the John Jameson Probe, which the symbiote is attached to, so it crashed on Earth. The probe crashed to Earth and the two symbiotes attach to a young couple. Dormammu had Mordo order the two symbiotes to steal an interdimensional portal device from Stark Enterprises. His intention was to use the device to allow him to enter.

The two symbiotes were successful and acquired the device. However, Dormammu needed a certain amount of life energy to replace his energy when he leaves. He gave Carnage the ability to absorb life energy and sent him on his way. While doing so he created an energy bond with Carnage. Eventually Carnage gained enough energy and released it into the portal so Dormammu can leave.

Dormammu comes to Earth while Iron Man, Spider-Man, and recently turned Venom fight to put him back. Iron Man and Venom distracted Dormammu while Spider-Man goes to the device and reverses the polarity. The portal then sucked Dormammu back into the previous dimension he was in and released the energy Carnage had absorbed. Spider-Man increased the power and eventually Dormammu was sucked in fully.

However, the link with Carnage was still active. It wasn't until Venom forced Carnage into the portal that Dormammu was trapped once again.

Powers[]

DormammuMJFather

Dormammu is able to change his form so he can trick people into inviting him

As a magical entity, Dormammu’s powers are almost infinite. Dr. Strange stated that Dormammu had ultimate power. He can absorb life energy from each universe that he conquers. In his dimension he was able to increase his size to gigantic proportions. He was also able to create an illusion to trick Mary Jane Watson into believing he was her father. Dormammu can manipulate energy on a cosmic scale. He can project magical energy blasts from his eyes and hands. He can control mystical energies as well. He has very powerful telekinesis. Dormammu’s telekinesis was so strong he was able to torment Mordo while in the dark dimension. The cosmic nature of his telekinesis allows Dormammu to manipulate matter. He can manipulate reality, create portals and levitate.

Background[]

Dormammu was voiced by Ed Gilbert.

The comic's version seems vastly superior to this one. In the comics Dormammu is capable of interdimensional travel, time travel, telekinesis, matter manipulation, cosmic energy manipulation, magic, reality manipulation, and teleportation over vast stretches of space and time. He is one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Obviously he is unable to travel interdimensionally and requires magical and technological devices to do so. Dormammu is also not as physically powerful as his comic counterpart as Venom was able to knock both him and Carnage down with one kick.

Dormammu was planned to appear in a subsequent episode that was never made. In the proposed episode, Mysterio would have found the Time Dilation Accelerator and used it to rob banks. During his travels he would have encountered Dormammu and the two would have teamed up. Ghost Rider would have appeared and together with Spider-Man would have stopped Mysterio and Dormammu. However, Ghost Rider would be unavailable due to his appearance on a UPN series. And Mysterio supposedly died in the fifth season episode "The Haunting of Mary Jane Watson".
