Kaluu

Kaluu is an ancient sorcerer from the Marvel Universe who shares a centuries-old history with the Ancient One. Originally a fellow student of mystical arts alongside the Ancient One in the Himalayan village of Kamar-Taj, Kaluu sought power for conquest rather than wisdom, leading to a bitter falling-out between them.

Born in the pages of Strange Tales #147 in 1966, Kaluu is a Silver Age Marvel mystic whose roots run as deep as the Marvel magical universe itself — conjured into existence by a remarkable creative quartet of Stan Lee, Denny O'Neil, Bill Everett, and Steve Ditko at the very height of Marvel's cosmic imagination. A figure of genuine longevity, he has kept his place in the mystical corners of the Marvel universe across an impressive 58 years, appearing alongside Stephen Strange and other denizens of Marvel's supernatural world in titles like Doctor Strange and Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme. With a key-issue debut and a presence that has persisted from the psychedelic Silver Age all the way to 2024, Kaluu is one of those rewarding deep-cuts who rewards the curious collector willing to dig into Marvel's richest arcane corners.
