History
The early life and history of Yao presumably mirrors that of his Earth-616 counterpart.
Yao, better known as the Ancient One, was once Sorcerer Supreme of Earth. The Ancient One was sought out by a surgeon named Stephen Strange. With his hands crippled in a car crash, Strange had come to the Ancient One in the hopes that his magic could fix his hands. Instead, the Ancient One taught Strange that his suffering meant something, and that there was more to life than Stephen's career. He took him as his pupil in the mystical arts, and eventually passed on the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme to him.[1]Attributes
