First Appearance:
Marvel Premiere #6

Profile:
Shuma-Gorath was one of the "Old Ones", a hideous malevolent god from the dawn of time (in the grand tradition of the Lovecraftian Cthulhu mythos).

Shuma-Gorath re-entered our world by using the Ancient One as a vehicle. In the classic Marvel Premiere #10, Dr. Strange was forced to end the life of his own beloved master the Ancient One in order to also end the threat of Shuma-Gorath. However, through this sacrifice, the Ancient One was released from his earthly limitations to become One With All.
