Biography
During his era, he became the noted Sorcerer Supreme with him being declared the greatest magical practitioner during a time when the Ancient One was presumed dead. As a result, he defended Earth from magical entities though he came to see himself imprisoned in this role. It was during this time that he learnt of the 'Word of God' and became fixated on learning its secrets. During an encounter in the Dark Dimension, he fought Doctor Doom who was from the future and also encountered both Doctor Strange as well as Clea. In reality, he had sought out Jowath of the Never Hills but the magical being was mortally wounded by Doctor Doom and died thus taking the secret of the 'Word of God' with him. Sir Newton lost hope in learning it even when he acquired the damaged head of a Doombot in the belief it could have recorded the words but he did not succeed. Instead, he devoted himself back to the Silent Truth of numbers and of destiny. (Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme v1 #5)
He was left to rot within prison when he was approached by a time travelling Merlin who was seeking allies against a threat known as the Forgotten and was looking for Sorcerer Supremes from all points in time. (Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme v1 #5)
