The character Baron Mordo is considered one of the most powerful sorcerers in the Marvel comic books. His history with black magic began early when he was still young. He then became an apprentice of the Ancient One, a mortal who was able to reach a spiritual state after drying.
It was reported that Doctor Strange was in constant rivalry with Baron Mordo because Doctor Strange was strong enough to replace the Ancient One. With that, Mordo was tortured by Doctor Strange when he was still young. However, things did not go as planned for Mordo because Doctor Strange had replaced him as the apprentice of The Ancient One who will be played by Tilda Swinton from "We Need To Talk About Kevin."
