Clea is a Fictional Character , a Sorceress in the Marvel Comics Universe . She is the disciple and lover of Doctor Strange . Created by co-plotters Stan Lee (writer-editor) and Steve Ditko (artist), Clea First Appeared in the Doctor Strange feature in '' Strange Tales '' #126 (Nov. 1964). Clea is a human-appearing being of the otherdimensional Faltine race of energy beings. The daughter of Umar and the niece of the demonic tyrant Dormammu , the noble Clea has been, sporadcially, ruler of the Dark Dimension, the mystical realm to which Dormammu had been banished and which he subsequently conquered. EARLY HISTORY The character was introduced during a Story Arc in which Doctor Strange confronted Dormammu for the first time. She became Strange's only ally in the Dark Dimension, and soon becomes a captive of her uncle. Clea remained nameless for several issues, referred to as the "captive female", or the "mysterious silver-haired girl". A caption in ''Strange Tales'' #132 noted her father is Dormammu's closest disciple. Her name was eventually revealed in ''Strange Tales'' #146 (July 1966), almost two years after her first appearance. During the first Umar story arc (''Strange Tales'' #150—156) nothing indicates that Clea and Umar are related to or even know each other. Indeed, Dormammu's sister mimics her brother's tactics and goes after Clea as a way of hurting Strange. Later, it was revealed that Umar was her mother, and that her father was Orini , a disciple of Dormammu and ruler of the Dark Dimension. Umar took control of the Dark Dimension and held Clea as hostage to lure Strange there. Eventually, Clea was freed and joined Strange on Earth. In the mid-2000s, Clea appeared in the ''Witches'' series along with Jennifer Kale , Satanna , and Topaz . ALTERNATE VERSIONS
