Biography
D'Spayre
D'Spayre was encountered at the Nexus of All Realities where he captured young sorceress Jennifer Kale and the spirit of her deceased teacher, Dakimh. He tied them both to an arcane tower on the Nexus, trying to use the evil mystic energies of the tower to corrupt his prisoners so that they would use their magic powers to serve D'Spayre. D'Spayre had killed Dakimh's mentor Zhered-Na centuries ago. However, Spider-Man and the Man-Thing fought D'Spayre. Although D'Spayre used his powers to overcome Spider-Man with fear, Spider-Man managed to knock out D'Spayre. Kale and Damikh were freed soon afterwards. (Marvel Team-Up v1 #68)
Since then, D'Spayre has pursued more subtle plans. He decided he did not know enough about Earthlings, specially superhumans. He appeared to lonely victims using his powers to make them despair; one of these victims was Jock Forrester, father of Aleytys "Lee" Forrester, who would later be a partner of Cyclops and later of Magneto. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #144)
When Bruce Banner wanted to take control his other persona, the Hulk, D'Spayre disguised himself as Doctor Strange and offered to help Banner using ancient magic that would allow him to control his subconscious. D'Spayre did this for some unrevealed party so they could take control of the Hulk. The real Doctor Strange eventually learned what D'Spayre did and forced the demon to undo his work. (Hulk v5 #13) Strange let D'Spayre talk while he and Doc Sasquatch traveled to Bruce Banner's location, a planet filled with a population of gamma mutates. While the Titan Hulk rampaged on the planet, Strange fought D'Spayre. D'Spayre thought he had the advantage, but Strange easily defeated him by trapping in the same sphere he imprisoned the demon in earlier. Banner eventually took back control of his body from Titan. Strange kept D'Spayre trapped in the sphere so he could no longer cause trouble. (Hulk v5 #14)
