Who Is Clea?

Clea was introduced in Marvel comics in 1964 in Strange Tales #126. She is an extra-dimensional individual who comes from the Dark Dimension and is created from magic. She meets Doctor Strange after he reaches the Dark Dimension to beat Dormmamu. Remember him, from Doctor Strange 1? Clea is not to be messed with as she has immense and extraordinary abilities. Her powers include being able to create energy flashes, insane strength, telekinesis and the ability to manipulate and control people’s minds.

Now, we all know how difficult Doctor Strange’s spells are and how long it took him to get them right when he first started. But Clea’s powers allow her to easily duplicate his spells and powers. In the comics, Clea and Strange also get romantically involved and she comes to Earth to even train with him. But not for long. She returns to the Dark Dimension and dethrones her father to become the Sorceress Supreme. She also goes on to reign Earth-616 (the dimension where the comics take place) after Dr Strange’s death.
