Subject Matter
Genres: fantasy, superhero
Synopsis: Dormammu sends Strange, Mordo & The Ancient One to a neutral dimension.

Strange accepts, then Dormammu declares they shall fight using only the "Pincers Of Power", and no other spells or incantations. This way, it will be a battle of skill, not power. The battle is fierce-- but when it appears Strange is about to overcome his adversary, Mordo strikes Strange from behind...
