“Call Him: Xander the Merciless!”

In "Call Him: Xander the Merciless!", Doctor Strange faces a terrifying foe whose power to erase memories sends Clea into a magical frenzy. As the mystery unfolds, Strange learns a shocking truth about his own origin—revealed through Xander, who claims the Ancient One was manipulated by the Creators to test Strange for ultimate life conversion, a secret that ultimately stripped him of his powers. Written by Marv Wolfman and brought to life by Rudy Nebres’ dynamic art and Marie Severin’s vivid colors, this 1976 Marvel classic features a cover by Ed Hannigan and Tom Palmer.
