Summary
Dormammu is the ruler of the Dark Dimension and the archenemy of Doctor Strange.
After he and his sister Umar killed their own father in their home realm, they were forced to flee to the Dark Dimension where they taught to its ruler King Olnar the ability to absorb universes into his dimension in exchange for a residence. However, Olnar was later killed by an invasion of the Mindless Ones, which were defeated by Dormammu and Umar. Since there was no king left, Dormammu took the throne for himself and absorbed the flames of regency to increase his own power.
He has since turned the Dark Dimension into an absolutely hellish dystopia with himself as the god-tyrant in charge, and constantly plans for multiversal conquests.

- Disintegrated Eternity's substance while in his weakest incarnation (Strange Tales #146)
- Sealed Zom in the chains of living bondage.

- Forcibly took the Eye of Agamotto from Doctor Strange for his own use, despite the amulet having an infinite amount of security enchantments.
- In an inferior body, he was able to one-shot Umar while she had the Flames of Regency, which could have prevented a singularity that would threaten all known universes.
- Threatened to shatter an entire world while in the Dark Dimension, which has "worlds beyond counting". He may have threatened a universe in the Dark Dimension in this instance.
- Threatened to make a world in the Dark Dimension come tumbling down about his foes, with Strange saying that leaving his fight with Dormammu at that moment would make his evil spread to worlds beyond counting.
- Mephisto needed to be helped by Satannish, Hela, Daimon Hellstrom and Pluto to face Dormammu.
