"Strangers Among Us, Part IV: Salome's Children"
Salome holds Dr. Vincent Stevens captive, torturing him for clues to the whereabouts of Dr. Strange. When Dr. Strange then uses a construct Strange to attack Salome she divines the truth, that Stevens and Strange are the Doctor's constructs and that they share Salome's essence. Doctor Strange realizes too that he is infused with Salome's essence, and that he must use those energies to free his offspring. In his secret sanctum, the Doctor scrambles to assemble the mystic artifacts which can prevent his impending death.
