Dormammu is a 6-foot humanoid with a flame-cloaked head, he was "born" an energy creature known as a Faltine, with his twin, Umar, from their "genitor," Sinifer. The universe of the Faltine has no matter, only energy. However, Umar and Dormammu lusted for matter and would gather as much of it as they could. Among the Faltine, this was considered a most obscene perversion. When Sinifer moved to stop the twins' hoarding of matter, Dormammu and Umar murdered him. For this crime, the Faltine exiled Dormammu and Umar from their universe forever. Dormammu and Umar took on humanoid forms, Dormammu becoming male and Umar female. They wound up in the Dark Dimension, a cosmic backwater that had once been feared for its many conquests. Olnar, the wizard king, longed for a return to those glorious times and, with the twins' arrival, saw a chance to revive his fortunes. Rather than invade other dimensions, Olnar learned how to break down barriers and simply absorb those dimensions into his own. With the power of two deities, he seemed to be within reach of his dreams, despite the objections of his wizards.
When the three annexed the dimension of the Mindless Ones, however, those unstoppable monsters advanced into the Dark Dimension. Many (conveniently) died in the conflict, including Olnar and many of the wizards who had opposed Dormammu and Umar. The twins finally erected a mystic barrier that stopped the Mindless Ones, at the cost of a permanent drain on their powers. In gratitude, the people of the Dark Dimension made them their new rulers.
Dormammu soon merged himself with the mystical energies of the Dark Dimension and partially reverted to his Faltinian form. Umar threatened Dormammu but failed to unseat him. As a consequence, he banished her to a pocket universe.
Years later, to defeat its enemy, the Old one; Dormammu had established an alliance with Baron Mordo, its disciple. Mordo was discovered by Stephen Strange, a foreigner who had sheltered itself there. Strange was gaged mystically by Mordo, but he was decided to study mystical arts and, when its knowledge was complete defeated to Mordo, frustrating the plans of Dormammu.
Dormammu reappeared soon, being defeated per Eternity, and, when he returned after that battle kidnapped to Victoria Bentley and to Clea, but then Stranger took part and he released causing them the return of Dormammu to the Dark Dimension.
Dormammu was allied later with Loki, that at that time was blind to obtain the Diabolic Eye, a device of great power for which it used the Defenders. But Loki, supposing its treason alerted to the Avengers, both groups faced to obtain the Eye and, in the end Dormammu was absorbed by this one.
Dormammu was reincarnated in the terrestrial crust, where it faced the Scarlet Witch, the Vision and Agatha Harkness. It lost this battle since during a time her traicionera sister robbed her powers to him, that later were given back to him.
The following ruse of Dormammu was to return back in the time to take possession from the body from the Viscount Crowler, but Strange it also traveled to that time and it was able to frustrate its plan. Dormammu returned time later and absorbed the energy of its sister and Baron Mordo to reconquer the Dark Dimension imprisoning to Umar in another dimension again.Dormammu tried to conquer the Earth, but it was defeated again by Doctor Strange.
Dormammu tried to invade also the different regions of Hell, being revealed to him from the repulsive Satannish that was not but I generate his, whereas Satannish revealed that he was the father of Daimon Hellstrom, establishing a familiar bow between Dormammu and this one. The plan of Dormammu failed but Satanish was eliminated by Mephisto, with which Dormammu left to Hellstrom in charge of the infernal region of Satannish.
Dormammu possesses vast magical and cosmic energies, which are supported and replenished by worship of him throughout the cosmos. His powers are so vast that he is capable of interdimensional travel, time travel, and teleportation over vast stretches of space and time.
Dormammu is apparently indestructible, and commands enhanced strength, reflexes, speed, and stamina. His corporeal form, while enhanced, is significantly weaker than that of an average super-hero, like Captain America. Dormammu is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant; he is highly trained in a type of extradimensional fighting style. However, Dormammu is no physical match for someone such as Spider-Man; Dormammu's chief strengths are his vast magical powers and his incredible intellect.
