ancient one
the evil mordo became an open foe of doctor strange. he sent his astral form to hypnotize the ancient one's servant into poisoning his food, hoping the old man would reveal his secrets of magic. however, strange tricked him into returning to his physical body after engaging in astral contact with him, thus breaking his hold over the servant, who helped the ancient one to recover. mordo disguised himself as sir clive bentley, and trapped doctor strange with a drugged candle that paralyzed him, but strange was able to use his mental powers to call a local girl to free him. he opposed doctor strange's discipleship to the ancient one. he set a series of new traps for strange in a bid to wrest magical secrets from the ancient one. mordo took strange's body while strange was astral projecting for a threat he sensed that mordo had caused, and cast a barrier around it, knowing that if his astral form was out for 24 hours it would die. strange found it in a wax museum, but was unable to enter. however, strange took control of a wax model in the last minute, distracting mordo and enabling strange to return to his body. he imprisoned the ancient one, but was again defeated. mordo made a deal with his new master, the demonic dormammu of the dark dimension, to amass additional power to defeat doctor strange. he dispatched agents, other evil magicians around the world and spirit wraiths, to search for the incognito strange, and then banished him from the earth. he fled from strange, and then dispatched agents to kill strange. he engaged in personal combat with strange. mordo was exiled to the dimension of demons by dormammu. he battled doctor strange once more at stonehenge, but was ultimately banished from earth.
