Overview

Personality and attributes

Powers and abilities

If a Sorcerer Supreme was ever corrupted, then Wong was privy to a special spell tailored to him with this being known as the Gu Baodao which was to be conducted in order to slay Strange. Performing the spell killed the caster with hellfire consuming their organs thus leading to their death alongside the target. It was designed to be a spell of last resort and only used in the more direst of events. (Doctor Strange Annual v3 #1)
