Wong (Earth-199999)

Wong was one of the Masters of the Mystic Arts based in Kamar-Taj, Nepal.

Wong was sent to London to gather information on the stolen relic in the possession of a mystic arts user. He approached the woman who stole the sceptre, in hopes of making conversation with her. She quickly identified him as a Master of the Mystic Arts and used the sceptre to turn everything pitch black while she herself vanished. Wong reflected on what just happened while on-lookers gathered to where the thief was just standing.

Wong returned to Kamar-Taj and spoke with Kaecilius, who was irritated that Wong had been outmatched by a novice mystic arts user. Wong argued that it was the sceptre's power, not the thief, that had proved too much for him alone. He opted for a safer approach to the situation. Kaelicius agreed and said the situation called for a stronger person like himself. Just then, fellow masters Daniel Drumm and Tina Minoru interrupted them, and Drumm suggested that instead of insulting Wong for his failures, they should take it as a precaution to be better prepared the next time they try and retrieve it. Kaecilius questioned why he and Tina got involved when they had other business to attend to, and Drumm replied that they were called in to help Kaecilius and Wong. Kaecilius rejected their help, and transported himself elsewhere.

Later, Wong and his fellow masters found Kaecilius unconscious, after having been beaten by the thief and the stolen sceptre. Drumm suggested once more that they work together to defeat the thief, and Kaecilius finally agreed. They located the thief and defeated her, with their combined efforts overpowering the stolen sceptre. Afterwards, Wong delivered the sceptre to the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York City, where it would be safe with other mystical artifacts of its kind.^[5]

Kaecilius eventually turned away from the path of light, and in a bid for immortality broke into the library of Kamar-Taj and slew its protector before stealing several pages from the Book of Cagliostro. Wong was appointed the new custodian of the library soon after and in this capacity he eventually met a newcomer to Kamar-Taj, Doctor Stephen Strange.

Wong found himself immediately beset by a barrage of wisecracks while the newcomer tried to engage him in small talk, and fended off the chatter with unamused stoicism. He was surprised, however, by Strange's voracious appetite for reading, and he soon had to warn him away from potential dangers in the pages of the library's collection. Very soon he found that books were going missing when Strange began using the mystic arts to take them without Wong's permission.

When Kaecilius attacked again, the trio of Sanctums maintained by the Masters of the Mystic Arts came under a broader systematic assault. After the destruction of the London Sanctum and the death of the New York Sanctum's master, Wong moved to protect the Hong Kong Sanctum. He and his comrades defending the site were no match for the power wielded by Kaecilius however, and soon this last bastion was also destroyed, along with Wong and the others and the others protecting it. This left the way open for Kaecilius's patron Dormammu to claim the world and its people. It was at this point Wong found himself wrenched from the rubble to find the streets of Hong Kong apparently rebuilding themselves. Doctor Strange had arrived and had employed the power of the Eye of Agamotto to reverse time, thereby restoring the ravaged part of the city. Putting aside his misgiving about disrupting the natural order of time, Wong joined Strange in fighting Kaecilius's followers to ultimately win the day.

Following the defeat of Kaecilius, Wong turned his attention to putting what was left of the Sanctums back into working order as a ward against depredations from dark forces. During this time he encouraged Doctor Strange in unburdening himself of the Eye of Agamotto noting that the relic held the Time Stone, one of the Infinity Stones.^[6] Wong eventually took to explaining the Infinity Stones to Strange, noting the histories of four other Infinity Stones.

Months later, Wong and Strange encountered Bruce Banner, who warned them of the impending threat of Thanos. After Strange summoned Tony Stark, Wong and Strange informed Stark of the Infinity Stones. When Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian arrived to claim the Time Stone, Wong assisted Strange and Stark in protecting the Time Stone, with Wong stranding Obsidian in a snowy field and severing his arm, but Strange was abducted by Maw. Wong retreated to the New York Sanctum, vowing to protect it in the meantime.^[7]

When Thanos found the Infinity Stones and used them to destroy half of the universe, Wong was among the half that survived. Five years later, the Avengers found a way to bring the snap's victims back, but were attacked by a past version of Thanos. With the help of the resurrected Strange, Wong assembled the resurrected heroes and their allies to the ruins of the New Avengers Building to fight Thanos's forces. The battle ended when Stark assembled the Infinity Stones and snapped Thanos and his forces to dust. Afterwards, Wong attended Stark's funeral.^[8]

With Strange no longer eligible for the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong was chosen to be Sorcerer Supreme.^[2] During his training, Wong needed a worthy opponent to test his fighting ability, so he broke Emil Blonsky out of prison^[4] to spar at Xu Xialing's Golden Daggers Club, where Wong emerged victorious.^[9] Wong offered Blonsky sanctuary at Kamar-Taj, but Blonsky chose to return to his cell.^[4]

Later, when Xialing's brother Shang-Chi obtained the Ten Rings and used them, Wong and his fellow sorcerers of Kamar-Taj sensed their energy. Tracking down Shang-Chi at San Francisco, Wong told Shang-Chi and his friend Katy to come with him to Kamar-Taj. There, Wong got in contact with Banner and Carol Danvers. Banner and Danvers were unaware of the rings' origins, but did know they were sending a beacon before disconnecting. Wong then warned Shang-Chi and Katy of the dangers of being a hero and encouraged them to get rest, but Shang-Chi then got the idea to have them sing karaoke, with the three drunkenly singing "Hotel California".^[9]

After becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong had to deal with a blizzard in the Sanctum Sanctorum. When Peter Parker arrived to request Strange's help in reversing Mysterio revealing his identity as Spider-Man, Wong warned Strange not to cast the Runes of Kauf-Kol, but reluctantly agreed to let the spell be cast. Days later, the entire universe, Wong included, completely forgot Parker's existence.^[2]

Later, Wong helped Strange defeat Gargantos, who was chasing America Chavez. They learned Chavez can traverse the Multiverse and that she was was looking for the Book of Vishanti and being chased for her powers, and she showed them the corpse of an alternate Doctor Strange as proof. While Wong took Chavez to Kamar-Taj to protect her, Strange learned that Gargantos was sent by Wanda Maximoff, and Wong had the other sorcerers defend Kamar-Taj. Under the Darkhold's influence, Wanda broke through their defenses, but Strange and Chavez escaped into Earth-838.

When a fellow sorcerer destroyed the Darkhold, Wanda forced Wong to take her to Mount Wundagore, the site where the Darkhold was transcribed. There they found a shrine dedicated to the Scarlet Witch, and she forced Wong out of the castle as she dreamwalked into the multiverse. Wong eventually regained consciousness and helped Strange, who was using an alternate Darkhold to dreamwalk into his alternate self's corpse, defeat the Elder Beasts guarding the castle and nearly trap Wanda, only for her to blast Wong backwards. Strange and Chavez eventually broke Wanda free of the Darkhold, and she destroyed the castle as Chavez whisked them back to Kamar-Taj. Chavez then joined the Masters of the Mystic Arts.^[10]

After footage of Wong's fight with Blonsky got leaked into the public,^[11] Wong got in contact with Blonsky's lawyer, Jennifer Walters. He admitted that he had broken Blonsky out of prison for training, and asked Walters not to punish Blonsky, suggesting he use sorcery as a backup plan. Wong was also present during Blonsky's hearing, but had to leave after realizing that he had technically admitted to committing a crime.^[4]

Later, Wong became privy to the actions of a former Master of the Mystic Arts, Donny Blaze, when Madisynn King got transported to Kamar-Taj. He contacted Walters about the issue, and they engaged Blaze in court, with Wong summoning King as a witness. Despite Wong's argument that Blaze's disregard would doom the world, the judge told Blaze he could still practice magic. Soon enough, Blaze accidentally unleashed an army of demons during a magic show, forcing Wong to intervene and enlist Walters to help.^[1]

Later, after Blonsky got put back in prison for breaking his parole and becoming the Abomination once more, Wong broke him out again to escape to Kamar-Taj.^[12]

Wong is a stoic individual, seldom finding amusement in anything. He is a staunch defender of the natural order of things, prepared to lay down his life to protect the world and its people if need be.
