The Sorcerers Supreme in Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme v1 #2.

Sorcerer Supreme is a title that features in Marvel Comics.

Contents

History

It was said that it was not known how many Sorcerer Supremes existed with even the Ancient One not knowing this information. (Doctor Strange v4 #4) The Earth dimension has had several Sorcerer Supremes, including Agamotto (the first), Salome, and most famously, the Ancient One and Doctor Strange. Other dimensions have Sorcerer Supremes as well, such as the alien Tiboro of the Sixth Dimension or the evil Dormammu.

In the age of Atlantis, the wizard Varnae once aspired to be the Sorcerer Supreme but instead fell to darker powers as he became the first of the race of Vampires. (Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme v1 #18)

At the dawn of humanity, the Aged Genghis sought knowledge and was gifted this in exchange for him presiding over a contest of sorcery that was to be called once every hundred years to determine the Sorcerer Supreme. (Marvel Graphic Novel v1 #49)

Since the 1500's, a number of Sorcerer Supremes had confronted the Marrakant Hellguard but were incinerated by the entity. (Doctor Strange: The Oath v1 #4) In 1692, Reverend Hiram Shaw served as Sorcerer Supreme who had barred Dormammu from coming to Earth during this era. (X-Men: Hellfire Club v1 #1)

A young mystic named Ian McNee came to learn magic and his ambition led to him desiring to become the Sorcerer Supreme. This saw him travelling to the Sanctum Sanctorum to challenge Stephen to a mystical duel. Strange agreed though he placed McNee under a powerful illusion that made him believe he had incidentally killed Stephen in the duel. Thus, Ian became the new Sorcerer Supreme where he was seemingly attacked by countless other sorcerers who desired the title with him being forced to kill each one leading to him being overwhelmed by his attackers. It was then that the illusion broke and Ian not only came to see how outclassed he was as a sorcerer but that the position of Sorcerer Supreme was fraught with challenges. As such, he came to accept the lesson that Doctor Strange had shown him and departed on good terms with him. (Marvel Fanfare v1 #6)

During the Dark Reign, Stephen Strange had been stripped of his position as the Sorcerer Supreme with him seeking out a worthy replacement to take over from him. At the same time, Dormammu who had bonded with Parker Robbin's intended for the Hood to take the title and urged him to quickly claim it before anyone else. (New Avengers v1 #51)

The Empirikul was a force that had been rampaging through the various dimensions in order to eliminate magic and the various Sorcerer Supremes. (Doctor Strange v4 #2) Strange stated he had to bury seventeen Sorcerer Supremes each of whom were the greatest magician of their respective dimension. To warn other such sorcerers, Stephen Strange cast a spell of summoning that had not been used in 5,000 years but none answered it. (Doctor Strange v4 #4)

Overview

It was held by the most powerful practicioner of the sorcerous arts in a particular dimension. The title can be passed down from a previous Sorcerer Supreme to their student, or can be acquired (in the Earth dimension, at least) in a test of magical skill held by the Vishanti every eon or so.

It was not known how many Sorcerers Supreme existed in the vast Multiverse though a spell of summoning could be enacted to call them all together. (Doctor Strange v4 #4) If a Sorcerer Supreme was ever corrupted, then a special spell known as the Gu Baodao was to be conducted in order to slay them. 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)
