Biography

The son of a British lord, Karl Amadeus Mordo had a secret, he was a magician. Used to getting him way he sought out magicians who could help him learn magic but each one he found proved to be a fake and a charlatan. That was until he came across stories of a monk with powers in Tibet, the Ancient One. Karl sets out to try and find the Ancient One but failed to locate more than rumour and story of the old man. Dissatisfied he returned home and sought other means of expanding his burgeoning talent, dabbling in dark magic to increase his power.

It was during one of these rites that Mordo sensed another magic user, one he knew would take the fame and glory that was rightfully his. Mordo was left with just a name, Stephen Strange. Hunting down the young boy Karl chose to attack him at night to defeat his rival before he could prove to be a threat. Luckily the Ancient One sensed the disturbance and was able to intervene, he removed memory of the incident from Stephen’s mind and took Karl with him hoping that through his training the young aristocrat would be able to master his inner demons. He was one of those who helped provide an escape to the Xavier Institute mutants from the Dark Dimension, but certainly did not endear himself to Stephen's magic teacher, Amanda Sefton or her X-Force teammates.
