Ultimus (comics) - Urthona

Urthona

Urthona is an enemy of Doctor Strange in the Marvel Comics universe. The character, created by Peter Gillis and Chris Warner, first appeared in Doctor Strange #78 (August 1986).

Within the context of the stories, Urthona is an extra-dimensional sorcerer from another planet. Seeking to become Sorcerer Supreme of the entire universe, he targets Doctor Strange. Urthona gained possession of half of Topaz's soul, allowing him to use the other half to learn everything he could about Strange. He sends one of his champions to battle and distract Strange, and mystically transports the Sanctum Sanctorum to his planet, along with Wong, Topaz and all the mystical objects inside. Strange took on Rintrah as an apprentice, and travels to Urthona's planet. Strange, inhabiting Rintrah's body, battles Urthona, and destroys all of his mystic talismans to keep Urthona from possessing them. Strange was not able to destroy the Darkhold, however, so Urthona fled with the book. Eventually, the Darkhold disappears and returns to Earth, and Strange and banishes Urthona to a realm far removed from their universe.
