Scenario: Sentinels act on Spectre's word to go Dormammu's dark dimension, and destroy the mystical fiend once and for all. Problem is, Presence forbids him to. He defies the presence and summons a group and they teleport to the Dark Dimension. Can they fight the awesome power of Dormammu within his own dimension, and his teammates Shuma Gorath and Lilith?
Dormammu possesses vast magical powers' and is one of the most powerful known mystical beings. He is not infinitely powerful, however; the mystical being Zom is known to be more powerful than Umar, and probably than Dormammu as well. It is not known how the power of extradimensional gods and demons such as Odin, Zeus, and Surtur compares to Dormammu's, and Dormammu's power is know to be dwarfed by that of Eternity and Living Tribunal.The Major difference between a being like Dormammu and a human sorcerer like Doctor Strange is that while each can manipulate the ambient magical energy of the universe he inhabits, Dormammu can also draw upon the immense magical energy that grows within his own being. Strange, an Earth human, does not generate mystical energy within himself, and therefore must tap and manipulate mystical energies that lie outside himself. Only the ability to manipulate energy is within an Earth sorcerer, not the energy itself.
In part Dormammu's power also derives from the worship of him by being in the Dark Dimension and other dimension. The form that this worship takes is not yet known, but it may involve sacrifices of some nature. Dormammu drains spiritual energies from his worshippers, thereby in creasing his own power. Also, some of Dormammu's power appears to be derived from the "flames or regency" that engulf his head. These flames originated when the then humanoid Dormammu merged with the great mystical flames of the Dark Dimension, thereby converting his own body to pure mystical energy. As a being of mystical energy, Dormammu can use magic more efficiently than he could as a corporal being; this is why Dormammu can wield magic more powerfully than his sister Umar. When Dormammu has been deposed from the throne of the Dark Dimension or temporarily destroyed the flames of regency have materialized about Umar's head, and her mystical power has simultaneously increased. At present, with Dormammu apparently destroyed, and Umar deposed and in suspended animation, the flames of regency are borne by Dormammu's niece Clea, the new ruler of the Dark Dimension. According to Dormammu's spell, the flames will surround the head of whatever rules the Dark Dimension.
Dormammu can confer mystical power upon beings who call upon him through spells and invocations, but he never does so without requiring to pay some kind of price that will increase Dormammu's own power. Nor does Dormammu confer part of his own personal power from another, undisclosed source. Dormammu can bestow enormous quantities of power upon another, as he has done with Baron Mordo on occasion. Even Doctor Strange, early in his career, invoked the power of Dormammu before he learned Dormammu's true nature.
Dormammu can manipulate his magical power to accomplish a vast number of feats: interdimensional teleportation, size transformations, time travel, elemental control, telepathy, matter transmutations, energy manifestations from extraordinary powerful bolts of magically-constructed beings, and many other. Further, he is of sufficient might to be able to cancel out or tamper with the magic of others. (For example, he once caused Thor to revert to his former mortal guise of Don Blake in spite of Odin's enchantment.)
It has been theorized that since Dormammu is a being of pure mystical energy, he is impossible to destroy. Should some force render Dormammu inactive, he will eventually be restored to his active state through the empowering effects of his subjects and disciples' belief in and worship of him. Once, after his energies were swallowed up by the Evil Eye, Dormammu, with Umar's aid, managed to regenerate himself deep within the planet Earth. Dormammu has also twice nearly succeeded in projecting himself across the barriers separating the Earth dimensions from his own by means other than simply traveling the Earth physically. Once he almost caused himself to materialized within a mountain in Vermont with the help of his worshippers' prayers and rituals. Another time, he used his worshippers' rituals to incarnate himself within the body of a human being.
Dormammu commands a host of intangible wraiths who carry out his orders in dimensions other than his own. When ruling the Dark Dimension, Dormammu command its armies and various mystical beings living within it.
Lilith:
Lilith possesses the conventional powers of the Mesopotamian Gods plus several occult powers derived from her degeneration into a demon. She has superhuman strength (potentially Class 25), stamina and resistance to injury. She has vast knowledge of magical lore and the ability to tap into and manipulate the dark forces of the universe. She can also summon her children from other dimensions by giving birth to their energies in new bodies in the Earth's dimension. Moreover, the more children she "births," the stronger and more powerful she becomes.
Shuma Gorath:
Shuma-Gorath is a extradimensional demon and is therefore immune to disease and aging. In his native dimension he is virtually omnipotent. He generates his own mystical power, but is also able to draw energy, mystical or otherwise, from others. Shuma-Gorath can release destructive magical energy blasts and can manipulate magical energy on a planetary scale. He is able to communicate telepathically and compel others to do his will, even across dimensions. His skin is rubbery and armored, preventing physical damage. He has between 6 and 8 appendages, depending on his form. These are used to grasp/crush his prey and to project his energy blasts. It also may be impossible to permanently destroy him.
