Who is Salomé?

Origin Salome was once a member of the Blood who joined Zarathos' cause to become the Fallen; however, she later rebelled and went after her own pursuits. At one point, she was also known as the Sorceress Supreme of this dimension and the first from Earth, by her own account (although Agamotto , of the Vishanti , is widely thought to be the true owner of this title). When the Fallen came back to aid Zarathos, she went out on her own to defeat the current Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange, and reclaim her title. It was to protect himself from her that he sacrificed much of his magic and created the ”Strangers”, the beings known as Strange and Dr. Vincent Stephens. Salome would eventually track down Dr. Strange, but by then he would have completed the creation of his new “earth magic”.
