Marvel Officially Has a Brand New Sorcerer Supreme – And She Is Perfect (2025)

The new Ultimate Marvel Universe finally has the Sorceress Supreme it has been in desperate need of.

While the titular hero of Ultimate Black Panther #10 is busy recovering from his last, nearly lethal encounter with the god-like Khonshu, his most capable allies are working to amass even greater powers to help defend Wakanda in the ongoing conflict. To that end, they have gone out of their way to free the mysterious Inan from her imprisonment under the watch of the malevolent H.A.N.D. When more villainous forces catch up to the trio as they make their way across the sea, it seems like there is nothing for them to do in terms of fighting back. At least, that is until Inan reveals her powers as the Sorceress Supreme, which are more than enough to handle their airborne assailants with ease.

The mantle of the Sorcerer Supreme is one that has existed for ages and across realities in the Marvel Universe. Bequeathed upon the greatest Master of the Mystic Arts any respective world or dimension has to offer, the mantle of the Sorcerer Supreme is infinitely revered, not to mention coveted, by those who would seek to acquire it for themselves. Marvel Comics' original Sorcerer Supreme, Yao, aka the Ancient One, was first seen in Larry Lieber, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko's "I Am the Fantastic Dr. Droom!" from the pages of 1961's Amazing Adventures #1, albeit in an unnamed role.

Over the years, the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme has been passed down to the likes of Doctor Strange and Clea, all while the likes of Doctor Doom and Baron Mordo have frequently attempted to steal it away for themselves by force. These latter plots have been at the center of numerous major storylines, including 2021's The Death of Doctor Strange, which irrevocably altered, and temporarily ended, the titular hero's life. Most recently, the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme in the Primary Marvel Universe was claimed by Doctor Doom, who acquired it during Marvel's Blood Hunt crossover event.

While little has been seen of the Sorceress Supreme of the reality of Earth-6160, she is far from the only Master of the Mystic Arts or supernaturally charged figure it has to offer. One of the most surprising of such characters is the new Ultimate Hulk, who stands as the Iron Fist of his world. Together with his fellow Immortal Weapons, this Hulk has been instrumental in maintaining the Maker's grasp over the world, and even took the opportunity to bring an end to the life of its young Tony Stark, aka Iron Lad, only weeks ago in the pages of Ultimates #6 by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri.
