While she gathered her strength, she allowed Dormammu to take lordship of the Dark Dimension… at least for the time being. The sinister siblings fought the horde back, but Umar was drained after the more hands-on battle. Unfortunately for them, they kicked one heck of a hornet’s nest and freed the same Mindless Ones Umar imprisoned later. Umar and Dormammu worked together to seduce Olnar, urging and empowering him to conquer other realities. After their banishment, the two found refuge in the Dark Dimension, where they met a wizard named Olnar. They were also guilty of “lusting for matter,” which is a capital offense to Faltinians. Together, these issues revealed that Umar and Dormammu-members of the Faltine, who are beings of incalculable magical power that occupy their own reality-were banished from their dimension after killing their father, Sinifer. Umar was only defeated thanks to the combined efforts of Doctor Strange, the Ancient One, the all-powerful (yet oddly proportioned) demon Zom, and Veritas, “the living embodiment of truth incarnate.” All those powers stacked against her may seem unfair, but it’s also a testament to just how strong Umar is and always has been.įiner points of Umar’s mysterious past came to light nearly 20 years later, in DOCTOR STRANGE (1974) #71 by Roger Stern and Paul Smith, and three years after that in DOCTOR STRANGE, SORCERER SUPREME (1988) #22 by Thomas, Jean-Marc Lofficier, Randy Lofficier, and Lee Weeks. Then, in STRANGE TALES (1951) #156 by Thomas and Everett, she shot one of her patented bolts of bedevilment clean through the Earth “as easily as a sharp-edged blade can slice thru paper!” If that’s not a flex, what is? She doubled down on proving her power later by mentally controlling the Mindless Ones, just to annoy Doctor Strange.
For the unacquainted, the Mindless Ones are a living plague of laser-firing rock golems their ceaseless, all-consuming battle is the only thing they know, and it’s enough to send a chill down the spine of Marvel’s mightiest heroes.Īn otherwise improbable feat for any spell-slinger to accomplish alone, Umar made repelling the Mindless Ones look easy, banishing the unbreakable brutes with just one finger. First appearing in STRANGE TALES (1951) #150 by Roy Thomas and Bill Everett, Umar quite literally burst out of thin air to quell an invasion of Mindless Ones.
