Biography
Yandroth
As the scientist supreme of his home planet Yann, Yandroth learned the inner-most secrets of his cosmos by using his vast intellect. He created many brilliant scientific devices and discovered other dimensions, all in the midst of a savage environment overrun by giant predators. Planning a conquest, Yandroth took advantage of the situation when a beautiful Earth girl, Victoria Bentley, suddenly appeared in his dimension. Yandroth planned to make the beautiful Victoria his bride, and prepared to defend himself when his machines alerted him to Dr. Strange's coming. Strange battled a few predators before Yandroth revealed himself. Yandroth warned Strange to depart. (Strange Tales v1 #164) Strange pursued Yandroth into his vast underground fortress, and Yandroth set a trap for Strange, which Strange successfully avoided. Yandroth fired an ultra-spectrum laser at Strange, and believed Strange killed. Yandroth grew close to ensure Strange's death, and was shocked when Strange suddenly disarmed him from his Q-Ray blaster. Yandroth resorted to physical violence, then rushed off to activate his ultimate weapon, Voltorr. Strange fought Yandroth, then Voltorr moved in for the kill. (Strange Tales v1 #165) Now called Voltorg, the creature moved forward and attacked Strange while Yandroth fled. Feeling that the destruction of his stronghold was imminent, Yandroth grabbed Victoria and planned to flee to another dimension for conquest. Yandroth set his dial for Earth and escaped just as Strange defeated Voltorg. (Strange Tales v1 #166)
