Marvel's New Sorcerer Supreme Just Proved She's Scarier Than Doctor Doom
Warning: contains a preview of Strange #1!
The recently concluded Death of Doctor Strange miniseries saw a new name take on the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme, but Doctor Doom isn't happy about it. Clea, a sorceress from the Dark Dimension and Strange's wife, is fulfilling his final wish and taking his place as the mystical defender of Earth. In a new Strange #1 preview from Marvel, Doctor Doom believes that he should be the new Sorcerer Supreme and threatens to take the role by force.
The preview for Jed MacKay's and Marcelo Ferreira's Strange #1 opens with an annoyed Clea irked by a pounding at the door to the Sanctum Sanctorum. Doctor Doom barges in, an act that would terrify most, but Clea is unphased, and instead invites him in. Doom declares that the Sorcerer Supreme title is his and threatens Clea with his magic. Being Dormammu's niece, she doesn't react as fans might expect when confronted by one of Marvel's most imposing villains.

The preview ends on that cliffhanger, but it pretty much establishes that Doctor Doom will be one of the villains, if not the main antagonist, of Clea's story as Sorcerer Supreme. Doom is an incredibly strong magic-user, and both have close ties to the late Stephen Strange. This sets up a great story for Clea as she fights to prove herself as Earth's new mystical defender and deny the power-hungry Latverian dictator. Clea will likely overcome Doom at this beginning point in the story, but there's no doubt that he will be coming back. Enjoy the preview of Strange #1, as shared by AIPT.
