White has the mutant ability to turn people who say "I accept" into mages who do his bidding but then blow up after ten hours. Strange enters White's studio and is attacked by a group of mages, which he defeats but not before Topaz, thinking she can help Strange, turns herself into a doomed mage. As people on the street suddenly start calling forth their master, the Underchild appears and, much to White's horror, begins to painfully metamorphose into none other than - the dreaded Dormammu!
