Meanwhile, Doyle jumped into the future as part of a lesson on time travel.

Thanks to a tip from Zoe, Voodoo eventually caught Calvin, expelled him from Strange Academy, and confronted Gaslamp. After being empowered by some of Gaslamp’s dark magic, Calvin grew more aggressive and began selling wishes to other Strange Academy students for the dark magician. Despite Zoe’s warnings, Calvin turned to Gaslamp after his jacket’s destruction. While discussing her family’s mystical history, Zoe revealed she had been corrupted by the dark magic of a wish-peddler called Gaslamp. Emily befriended the Imperator, a magic-hating villain who was held in the Sanctum Sanctorum’s basement and encouraged her rebellious side. But without Strange’s protection, some villains became bolder and started targeting the school’s students directly. Toth was quickly revived with help from Catbeast, who was really a disgraced Weirdworld wizard named Ogeode.įollowing Doctor Strange’s death, Doctor Voodoo briefly shut down Strange Academy and limited the students’ use of magic due to the toll the school took on Hoggoth. However, Calvin’s classmates quickly overwhelmed Misery by feeding him their teenage angst and other negative emotions, and Dessy consumed the weakened villain. After taking the form of Calvin’s jacket, Misery possessed Calvin and attacked Toth before targeting Strange Academy’s other students. After Howard the Duck was called in to investigate, the culprit was revealed to be Mister Misery, the cursed living embodiment of Strange’s pain and suffering. However, Strange Academy was rocked by another death when Toth was found completely shattered late one night. Doyle even had a real first kiss with Emily, though he still worried about his potential future. After Toth and Shaylee started dating, Zoe and Dessy shared a mutual attraction. While most of the Strange Academy students are friends, several of the young magicians started pairing off with each other. In Asgard, Iric quietly visited the Enchantress in prison, wanting to spare Alvi from seeing their mother incarcerated. While Emily successfully opened her magic-seeing third eye and befriended a talking Catbeast in Weirdworld, Doyle visited with a fortune teller who left him haunted by visions of his potentially destructive future.Īs they studied under teachers like Agatha Harkness, Strange Academy’s inaugural class began exploring the Marvel Universe with field trips to Asgard and the cosmos. In Strange Academy’s early days, the students started honing their magical skills and got a first-hand look at the ups and downs of the mystic arts. Several other mystical heroes rotate through the school as guest instructors, including the Ancient One, Scarlet Witch, Wong, Magik, Nico Minoru, Hellstrom, Shaman, Man-Thing, and Dead Girl. Strange Academy’s other major human students include the zombie Zoe Laveau a nahual named Germán Aguilar, who projects animal spirits and Calvin Morse, who wields a sentient, magical jacket.īeyond Strange and Voodoo, the school is staffed by Zelma Stanton, Strange’s one-time apprentice and keeper of arcane items, and the Mindful One, an enhanced member of the Mindless Ones. While the friendly half-fairy Shaylee Moonpeddle comes from Otherworld, the silent, crystalline Toth hails from the swamps of Weirdworld. The Enchantress’ twin sons, the trouble-making Iric and the nerdy Alvi, also attend the school, alongside the gentle Frost Giant Gus. Several students have links to major villains, like Doyle, the son of the Dark Dimension’s Dormammu, and Dessy, the demonic daughter of Limbo’s S’ym. Strange Academy’s first class includes powerful, but inexperienced young magicians like Emily Bright, who was born with the ability to tap into immense mystical energy. To keep the school and its students (relatively) safe, Strange and Voodoo based the academy in New Orleans, a city brimming with magical energy where the more unusual members of its student body don’t necessarily stand out in a crowd. In addition to its several human students, the school also draws students from Asgard, Weirdworld, Limbo, Jotunheim, the Dark Dimension, and many of Marvel’s other realms.
