Item Biography
"Strangers Among Us, Act I: The Brilliant One"
Inside his sanctuary, a pocket dimension accessed through a Manhattan cemetery, Doctor Strange receives his agent, the entity known as Strange, who has delivered more mystical artifacts that the Doctor needs to fend off the death which rapidly approaches. The Doctor needs one more artifact, one that is key to Atlantean well-being. Namor refuses Dr. Strange's request for the artifact, and so Strange steals the item. This act frees an ancient leviathan, and Namor, Strange, and the beast are locked in battle. All this is observed by Salome, who has taken Dr. Strange's man-servant Wong under her control.
