Marvel’s New Sorcerer Supreme: Inan Steps into the Spotlight
Move over, Doctor Strange. Marvel has unveiled a new Sorcerer Supreme, poised to shake up the Ultimate Universe. The Sorcerer Supreme title is renowned and often contested. Recently, Doctor Doom snatched it from Doctor Strange. While fans await "One World Under Doom," another arc captivates readers’ imaginations. Marvel’s Ultimate Universe has introduced its version of the Sorcerer Supreme, distinct from Doctor Strange and Doom’s iterations. Known to be aligned with Black Panther, this figure captivates with unique powers. Beware, spoilers for Ultimate Black Panther #10 follow.
Unveiling a New Mystic Force
Ultimate Black Panther #10, crafted by Bryan Hill, Carlos Nieto, David Curiel, and VC’s Cory Petit, weaves a mesmerizing tale. The narrative trails Erik Killmonger and Storm, who liberate the newly introduced Sorcerer Supreme. Black Panther eyes recruiting her for his conflict against Moon Knight. Her name is Inan, and she’s a force to be reckoned with. Her freedom seems fleeting, though, as her previous captors close in.
When a helicopter assaults the cargo ship bearing Storm, Killmonger, and Inan, chaos erupts. Killmonger is injured, but Inan commands Storm to assist him. Meanwhile, she confronts their enemies. Utilizing her mystical prowess, Inan suspends the helicopter in the air, halting its blades. As the chopper plunges into the ocean, a summoned shark devours it—a vivid display of her power.
Unmatched Mystical Abilities
Inan’s abilities extend beyond mere control of creatures. She heals Killmonger by creating a rift in time and space, hastening his recovery. Unlike Doctor Strange, she achieves this without the Time Stone or other cosmic artifacts. Her magic bends time and space effortlessly, making her an adversary not to be underestimated. Uttering commands aloud, Inan makes miracles happen. First portrayed as eerie and haunting, she now presents as more serene with newfound freedom.
Inan’s latest appearances see her adopting the "Godkiller" moniker, offering her skills to Black Panther. Her entrance into Marvel’s Ultimate Universe signifies a blend of tradition with innovative storytelling. She joins an ensemble of revamped Marvel icons, adding fresh narratives and intrigue. The Ultimate Universe also features a Native American Hawkeye and a not-so-familiar She-Hulk. Soon, it’ll introduce a reimagined Guardians of the Galaxy.
Redefining Marvel’s Mystical Realm
Inan may not rival Doctor Strange in legacy, but she’s proving her worth. The Ultimate Black Panther series, with its latest character arcs, is redefining the mystical landscape of Marvel Comics. For a dive into this new world and the adventures of Inan, the Ultimate Sorcerer Supreme, Ultimate Black Panther is a must-read. Available through Marvel Comics, it continues to captivate with every turn of the page.
