Clea Strange

"'The shadows, my love... the shadows always surround us! Can we not leave this house... this life... and make our own bright world?' - Clea"Clea Strange is the estranged wife of Stephen Strange, estranged mother of Sophia Strange, and niece of Dormammu. Clea was born to the legitimate heir of the Dark Dimension and sister to the then-current ruler Dormammu, she was used by her uncle as an attempt to distract Doctor Strange so he could invade Earth, but his attempts were foiled when Clea fell in love with the sorcerer supreme. She returned to Earth with him, where they married and had a daughter, Sophia. Clea however wanted to return the Dark Dimension to lead a rebellion against Dormammu and take on role as the rightful ruler of the Dark Dimension, but had to leave her husband and daughter for ten years. Sophia always resented her mother for this.

When Sophia was older, Clea returned to Earth to receive her daughter, believing she was old enough and powerful enough to assist her in their war against Dormammu and act as heiress of the Dark Dimension. She was met with resistance from her daughter due to the years of abandonment she and her father faced, but Clea tried her hardest to win her daughter back and teach her how powerful she could be if she embraced her mother's gifts. In the end, Clea's selfish and vain love for her daughter was not enough, and Sophia decided her place was on the only home she ever knew, Earth, with her father who was imperfect but always with her, and her family, the Young Avengers.

She is portrayed by Chien Na Wei.
