History

The sons of an Asgardian palace guard named Bror and the powerful sorceress Enchantress, Iric and his brother, Alvi, were raised by their father alone on Asgard.[2] When they were just babies, Iric and his brother were kidnapped by the evil wizard Pulsari, who had made a deal with their mother years before, entitling him to her firstborn son. However, he didn't know which of the twins was born first and, before he could figure it out, Amora summoned Doctor Strange, and he turned Pulsari into stone, promising he would stay that way as long as he lived.[3]

As the twins grew up, they became close to Loki Laufeyson, who accompanied them when they joined Dr. Strange's Academy for young magic practitioners.[4][5]

Iric was paired with Doyle Dormammu as his roommate, a relationship that had been rocky from the start.[4] When Iric arrived late to Magik's class, instead of apologizing, he made some cocky remarks and got himself cast to Hell; Doyle Dormammu dropped a sarcastic comment in front of the whole class and was sent there as well, where they spent the whole day fighting against demons for their lives.[6]

Their relationship had no signs of improvement until Doyle found out that Enchantress was Iric's mother and decided to help him keep this secret from Emily Bright, who they both had a crush on.[2]

Strange Academy Presents Death of Doctor Strange Vol 1 1 Textless

Alvi and Iric, sons of the Enchantress

When Doctor Strange died, the academy was temporarily shut down, and the students, including Iric and Alvi, were sent home. Iric was getting ready to head back to Asgard, but the now-returned Pulsari appeared in his room and once again kidnapped him. Taken to Weirdworld, Iric was drained of his magic so he could be used as a battery for Pulsari and make him strong enough to conquer the Crystal Kingdom. When his mother and brother arrived along with Goleta the Wizard Slayer, Pulsari presented the barely alive Iric to them, but they moved past the shock of Iric's state and managed to destroy Pulsari's necklace, stripping him of his power and returning Iric back to normal in the process.[3]

After Strange Academy reopened with Doctor Voodoo,[7] it wasn't long before more problems appeared. When Emily decided to leave Stange Academy in reaction to Calvin Morse's expulsion, Iric was one of the many students that decided to follow her.[8] At first, they stayed hidden in the Sanctum Sanctorum, but when their teachers confronted them, they escaped to the Dark Dimension.[9][10]

As time passed, more and more students grew disillusioned with Emily's plans and returned to Strange Academy, eventually leaving only Emily, Dessy and Iric in the Dark Dimension. However, after Emily and Dessy mistreated Calvin and sided with Dormammu, Iric also changed his mind and ran back to his old classmates to warn them about an impending invasion.[11]

During the assault on the academy, Dessy and Emily fought most of their old classmates, while Dormammu faced the teachers of Strange Academy. Doyle began teasing Emily's new look, hoping to bring her attention to him, and he succeeded, with Emily unleashing a powerful attack against him. Iric, who feared for Doyle's life, jumped in front of Emily's attack, falling to the ground severely injured. As Doyle held him in his arms, Iric used his dying breath to say he couldn't let Doyle take all the credit.[12]

Iric was then accepted Valhalla, the Asgardian afterlife, where he became acquainted with Odin.[13]
