Using the "Pincers of Power" as the choice fighting weapon, Dormammu has the upper hand until Dr. Strange is able to figure out the devices and start gaining the advantage. When it appears that Dr. Strange is going to win, Mordo not wanting his master to lose blasts Dr. Strange with a mystic bolt from behind.
