Doctor Strange #8
Title: Rights of Passage!
Writer: Steve Englehart
Artist: Gene Colan
Villain: Umar, Dormammu, Orini
Regulars: Clea
Doctor Strange has lost his powers, because his magical knowledge was sucked
out of him by the Guranthic Guardian. Clea is unwilling to fight with Orini,
because he's her father. Clea uses Doctor Strange's Cloak of Levitation to
carry them both away.
Clea returns to Orini and asks him to have mercy on her lover. He refuses, but
he doesn't stop her when she walks away. Maybe he still has some slight feelings for
her.
Even though he no longer has any knowledge of magic, Doctor Strange can still
meditate to find wisdom. On his bidding, Clea lets his cloak carry him to the
Mindless Ones. She runs towards the Guranthic Guardian. The Mindless Ones
follow Doctor Strange as he floats back towards the Guardian. They fire their eye
beams upwards at the Guardian. The Guardian's eye beam empties its magical
knowledge into Clea.
I have absolutely no idea how this was planned. I understand what happened,
but I don't understand how Doctor Strange could have known it would happen.
Nevertheless, Clea now has Doctor Strange's mystical powers. Dormammu's
minions attack, led by Orini. She drives them back. Orini attacks her, and she
retaliates in rage, but Doctor Strange restrains her. He takes his powers back
from Clea into himself.
On Earth Dormammu reaches his full size and climbs out onto the surface.
