Strange Spécial Origines #166
In "Désastre sur toute la ligne !", Stephen Strange finds himself in a high-stakes duel with Dormammu in a neutral dimension, forced to battle using only the Pincers of Power—no magic, no spells, just raw skill. With Mordo’s true intentions hidden in the shadows and the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, Strange must rely on wit and precision in a fight that tests more than just power. Written by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee, with art by Ditko and colors by Stan Goldberg, this 1983 issue features a striking cover by Jean-Yves Mitton.
In "Désastre sur toute la ligne !", Tony Stark—now Iron Man—faces a crisis when his assets are seized and a warrant is issued for his arrest, leaving him isolated and on the run. With the Avengers away and no allies in sight, he retreats to the waterfront, only to be ambushed by Warlord Krang’s flagship rising from the sea. Forced to flee with Lady Dorma, Iron Man takes a bold stand, striking at the enemy despite her protests—only to find himself cornered at his own factory, where a sudden confrontation with the Sub-Mariner throws his situation into even deeper turmoil.
In "Plus dure sera la chute !", a furious Sub-Mariner storms Iron Man’s lab, overwhelming the armored hero in a brutal clash. With a clever ruse, Iron Man lures him into a reinforced safe room, sealing the door just as both need a recharge—Subby diving into the ocean, Iron Man powering up in silence. But when the police arrive accusing Tony of destruction, and Pepper and Happy show up in the chaos, the tide turns once more. A newly refreshed Sub-Mariner prepares for round two.
In "Le pouvoir de... Iron Man !", Iron Man faces off against Namor in a clash of titans, their rivalry reaching a boiling point before the Atlantean prince abruptly halts the fight upon spotting Krang’s battle cruiser adrift nearby. Meanwhile, Tony Stark prepares to unveil the truth behind the Iron Man armor to Senator Byrd, setting the stage for a moment that could change everything.
In "Attention... ! Dormammu nous regarde !", Dr. Strange faces a chilling revelation: his mentor, the Ancient One, is imprisoned by Dormammu, who forces Clea to witness the coming defeat. With Mordo as his reluctant adversary, Strange must fight not just for survival, but to uphold a legacy under the shadow of a cosmic tyrant’s gaze.
In "Les tenailles du pouvoir !", Strange finds himself locked in a high-stakes duel with Dormammu, each forced to battle using only the Pincers of Power—no spells, no magic, just raw skill. As the fight reaches its peak, the tension mounts when Mordo's sudden betrayal throws the outcome into chaos.
In "La victoire!", Stephen Strange stands triumphant after defeating Dormammu in battle, only to face a new threat when the sorcerer is banished to the Dimension of Demons. With Clea taken hostage and a hidden trap set by Mordo’s disciples, Strange must navigate the lingering evil revealed by the Mystic Globe—before he even realizes he’s walking into danger.
