In order to pass his powers onto his desciple, The Ancient One allows Zom to defeat him. Before Strange's eyes, his mentor is fused with one of the giant rocks at Stonehenge, but not before he utters a warning. A battle ensues, until Strange manages to rip the forelock of hair from Zom's head-- at which point, an aura of evil is unleashed, and Zom declares that all is lost. From the horizon, a booming voice is heard, and Zom is banished.
