Synopsis: Baron Mordo decides it is time for him to be the world's greatest sorceror, so he sets out to destroy the Ancient One so he can reign supreme. He commands a servant to poison the Ancient One, then he visits the Ancient One in his astral form and demands he give him all the secrets of black magic. The Ancient One refuses, and Dr. Strange picks up strange vibes that his master is in trouble. He heads to Tibet in his astral form and spots Mordo threatening the Ancient One. They begin to battle each other, punching and lunging at each other in the astral plane, until finally Dr. Strange's amulet pours energy back into the Ancient One, reviving him. Dr. Strange then tells Mordo he is going to travel back to Mordo's body and hold him captive so his astral form cannot find its proper home. Mordo flies back to his body, with Strange in hot pursuit, enabling Mordo's power over the Ancient One's servant to lapse. Dr. Strange has defeated Mordo....for now.....
