The Dark Prince

Denzel was born in Compton, California, but resided in Watts in his youth to a single mother who carried both resilience and secrets. She was a Black woman with deep roots in hoodoo and voodoo traditions passed down from her family in Louisiana. Denzel’s childhood was hard — growing up in poverty, surrounded by gang influence, and constantly battling anger issues. By the time he was a teenager, he was running with the Bloods, throwing himself into fights and violence to hide the pain of feeling like the world had already written him off.Dormammu, amused by her courage, agreed — but twisted her wish. He not only saved Denzel, he rewrote him. The tumor was purged, but in its place, Dormammu altered Denzel’s very DNA, fusing it with Faltine essence — the same living fire that makes up Dormammu’s being. Overnight, Denzel was reborn as something more than human: a hybrid, a living fragment of the Dark Dimension walking the streets of Watts.
At first, he struggled with what he had become. His reflection flickered with embers of fire. His emotions triggered strange bursts of magic. And one night, when he witnessed a racist cop harassing a young Black child on a street corner, Denzel lost control. His fury ignited his inherited power — and he blasted the officer with hellfire, leaving only chaos in his wake. It was then he realized: the darkness in him wasn’t just power, it was a calling.Now 22 years old, Denzel walks a razor’s edge. He has inherited both strength and curse: a connection to Dormammu, who whispers in his mind, trying to corrupt him and drag him deeper into darkness. He’s caught between two worlds — the grounded reality of Watts, where he protects his community, and the looming shadow of the Dark Dimension, where he is seen as nothing less than royalty and a future ruler.Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj have begun to take notice of him as his very existence made that cold feeling become hypothermic. His existence destabilizes the magical balance of Earth. To Strange, Denzel is a threat waiting to explode. To Wong, he’s a kid worth saving. And to Dormammu, he’s an heir, destined to one day surpass his father’s power and potentially take the throne of the Dark Dimension.
Denzel knows his destiny: he will either become a weapon of destruction under his father’s influence, or carve out his own path as something new — a protector born of fire and darkness, standing against the same shadow that created him. Every day is a battle, not just against the streets that raised him, but against the darkness that burns in his own veins.

Denzel Dormammu is a 22-year-old six foot three adonis from Watts, California, reborn as the half-human, half-Faltine son of Dormammu after his mother sacrificed her soul to save him from a fatal illness. Once a troubled youth caught up in gangs and violence, Denzel now lives torn between two worlds: his human community, which he wants to protect, and the Dark Dimension, where he is recognized as royalty and heir to a throne of chaos.By day, Denzel conceals himself as human, but when anger or Dormammu’s influence overwhelms him, he shifts into his true Faltine form — a towering, flame-wreathed being of dark energy. Possessing devastating mystical fire, superhuman strength, and a dangerous connection to Dormammu, he constantly battles the pull of corruption within. In regard to his human side, he is a bisexual male who is also playful ensuring that he has a humorous calmness to him to help keep his inner darkness and voices from influencing his actions. He currently lives in Watts, California tapped into his people and their soul protector in training but one day he will become the ruler of something that is part of the cosmic, the seed of darkness and madness, the Dark Dimension.Denzel’s story is one of duality: street survivor and cosmic prince, protector and destroyer, son of Watts and son of Dormammu. His destiny looms — to surpass his father and rival the might of the Dark Dimension — but whether he becomes Earth’s salvation or its destruction depends on which side of himself he chooses to embrace. Lately, the incursions that has manifested across the multiverse begin to also leak into the Dark Dimension as Denzel senses a shift and soon that dark energy will begin to leak into the multiverse due to Doom's actions. Now Denzel has a new mission, to save the Dark Dimension by saving the multiverse itself.

When Denzel loses control and his true Faltine essence takes over, he transforms into a towering, nightmarish figure of violet fire and shadow. His body becomes a living furnace of dark energy, armored in obsidian-like plates that pulse with crackling purple lightning. His very outline seems unstable, wreathed in tendrils of flame that twist and coil as if alive.His face is the most terrifying aspect — a skull-like visage with jagged, predatory teeth glowing white-hot against the void of his form. Where his eyes should be, burning voids blaze with endless, violet fire, staring through souls with cosmic fury. Black, hornlike protrusions curl back from his head, marking him unmistakably as Dormammu’s heir.At the center of his chest, a circular core of seething energy burns like a black sun, acting as both his heart and a gateway to the Dark Dimension. Each beat of this core ripples through his body in arcs of crackling power, making the air hum with otherworldly static. His claws drip with violet flame that doesn’t just scorch flesh but sears spirit, leaving those struck weakened in both body and will.In this form, Denzel’s presence itself is suffocating — mortals feel dread, fear, and the instinct to flee. He is less a man and more a storm given shape: the living embodiment of Dormammu’s corruption, a reminder that he carries not just fire, but a fragment of the Dark Dimension’s madness within his veins.

Powers and Skills:

As a hybrid, Denzel has been granted power unlike no other with his DNA reforged and reborn from the madness of the Dark Dimension and Dormammu himself. Dormammu did want his son to serve by his side, so he ensured that his very essence was infused into him rebirthing him into the proper heir of the Dark Dimension. (Disclaimer: All of these abilities are still in development as he is still learning how to use his powers.)Faltine Hybrid Powers (manifest in both forms, but amplified in true form)Sorcery: Though untrained compared to Strange, Denzel can instinctively cast destructive spells, summon fire constructs, or shield himself with mystical wards fueled by Dark Dimension energy. His magic is chaotic, raw, and often dangerous even to himself, but it gives him versatility beyond brute force. He's currently stealing spellbooks and trying to learn sorcery.Darkfire Manipulation: Generates and controls violet-black mystical fire inherited from Dormammu. This fire can burn flesh, metal, and even mystical energy.Flight: When channeling his fire, he can propel himself through the air in bursts of violet-black flame. In true form, his flight is more stable and closer to high-speed levitation, allowing him to maneuver like a living comet of darkfire.Enhanced Strength: Even in his hybrid form, Denzel’s body carries traces of Faltine might. He’s much stronger than a regular human.Can bench-press cars, punch through concrete, and overpower multiple armed men.Still nowhere near his true Faltine form, but significantly beyond peak-human levels.Durability: Can tank blunt trauma, survive falls from multi-story buildings, and resist knives or small-caliber rounds (though not invincible).Physically a little stronger than Valkyrie in raw lifting/striking strength, thanks to Faltine inheritance.Example: Valkyrie can wrestle aliens and toss foes several meters; Denzel could outmuscle her in a contest of raw force, breaking concrete or tossing a car with more ease.Energy Blasts: Can hurl concentrated bolts of raw dark energy capable of destroying vehicles, breaking walls, or stunning superpowered foes.Hellflame Aura: In his Faltine form, his entire body radiates destructive flames that burn anything near him without conscious effort.Dimensional Flames: His fire doesn’t just burn physically — it scorches the soul, leaving victims weakened or mentally shattered.Mystic & Dimensional AbilitiesDimensional Awareness: Can sense rifts, mystical activity, or intrusions from other realms (like sorcerer spells or Dark Dimension portals).Teleportation Sparks: Limited ability to blink short distances in a flash of violet flame. (Longer teleportation is possible but dangerous, as it risks Dormammu’s influence bleeding in.)Astral Sight: Can see spirits, souls, and magical energy signatures invisible to normal humans.Dormammu’s Whisper: Sometimes Dormammu can communicate directly with him, offering forbidden knowledge of magic — dangerous but useful.Psychological & Thematic AbilitiesDuality of Control: Can maintain his human self through discipline; losing control triggers his Faltine form. His struggle against corruption is both a weakness and strength.Royal Birthright: As heir to Dormammu, demons and creatures of the Dark Dimension instinctively recognize him as a prince. Many will serve, some will rebel.Potential for Ascension: It’s hinted he could eventually surpass Dormammu himself, becoming a cosmic-level god of the Dark Dimension.Power Scale (in-context):In normal form, he’s around Valkyrie in terms of physical strength, slighty stronger depending on the situation (MCU ) + Scarlet Witch’s early power level (Slightly above average Asgardian-level with mystic bursts).In true form, he’s closer to Hulk-tier strength mixed with Doctor Strange–style destructive dark magic.

Transformation – True Faltine Form(The monstrous form shown above)Enhanced Strength: Vastly stronger than in human form, capable of tossing cars, cracking concrete with punches, and matching enhanced beings.Superhuman Durability: His Faltine body shrugs off bullets, blades, and most conventional weapons. Only advanced tech or magic can pierce it.Regeneration: Can rapidly heal from wounds, even regrow lost tissue or recover from burns/blows that would kill humans.Intimidation Presence: His aura instills terror and dread in mortals; weaker enemies may freeze or collapse in fear when he appears.Size & Mass Shift (Optional): In full Faltine form, he can grow slightly larger, towering over humans in a more demonic presence to a building and a half large, however the more unstable he becomes he begins to grow larger, and his dark power can consume his own soul if not tempered.

Weaknesses:

Great power, comes great responsibility
Denzel’s true weakness isn’t lack of power — it’s the cost of wielding it. His hybrid soul leaves him vulnerable to mystical control, astral assault, and Dormammu’s direct influence. In battle, sorcery and soul-based attacks pierce his defenses, while emotionally, his struggle to stay human is his most fragile point. The closer he comes to unleashing his full Faltine potential, the closer he risks losing himself entirely.

Weaknesses: Although he has physical strength on the level of something similar to an Asgardian level such as Valkryie (MCU Version), he can be killed when in his normal state as well as someone overpowering him in his Faltine form.1. Loss of Control (Duality of Self)His greatest weapon (the Faltine form) is also his greatest liability.If he loses his grip on his humanity, Dormammu’s influence can fully overwhelm him, turning him into an extension of his father’s will rather than his own person.The longer he stays in his true form, the stronger Dormammu’s whispers become.Vulnerability: Prolonged combat risks him becoming what he fears most — a puppet of Dormammu.2. Mystic CountersDespite his raw power, trained sorcerers (Strange, Wong, Kamar-Taj) can bind or redirect Faltine fire.Wards, sigils, and dimensional seals can contain or weaken him, since his powers are tied to extra-dimensional energy.Vulnerability: He is nearly unstoppable against street-level threats, but skilled mystics can exploit his connection to the Dark Dimension.3. Soul VulnerabilityHis Darkfire burns souls — but it also exposes his own.If an enemy with soul or astral manipulation (e.g., Ghost Rider, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Voodoo) targets him, his hybrid nature makes him unstable. His human soul is still fragile compared to his father’s endless essence.Vulnerability: Attacks on his soul or astral body hit harder than physical blows.4. Dormammu’s ClaimDormammu literally owns a part of him. His rebirth means his essence is partly Dormammu’s.Any spell, invocation, or pact tied to Dormammu can influence, weaken, or compel him.Worse — Dormammu can seize partial control in moments of extreme anger or exhaustion.Vulnerability: He can be weaponized against his will.5. Emotional TriggersHis past in Inglewood (gang ties, friends lost, family sacrifice) keeps him grounded but also makes him volatile.Enemies can exploit his rage, guilt, or grief to force him into transformation, accelerating Dormammu’s influence.Vulnerability: Psychological manipulation is just as dangerous as physical attacks.6. Dimensional InstabilityHis teleportation sparks and Faltine flames risk tearing small rifts in reality. Overuse makes him unstable and vulnerable to backlash.Attempting long-distance dimensional travel could backfire — leaving him stranded, drained, or even trapped between realms.Vulnerability: Overextending powers risks catastrophic burnout or collapse.

This character is inspired by the Marvel Comics figureDoyle Dormammu
but reimagined in a deeper, more narrative-driven way for my own MCU-style retelling. Rather than simply being Dormammu’s son with latent power, this version delves into his internal struggle, human ties, and the push and pull of two worlds—street life and cosmic legacy. Think of it as an indie-MCU take on Doyle: rooted in the comics, but reshaped and elevated with more storytelling weight.Crossovers are welcomed as well as fandomless/OCsTrigger warnings and language will be present as it is part of his story.Lewd themes will be present but not my primary focus. Nothing against lewd accounts but I am very story driven and love to plot. Don't expect lewd right off the bat, if their is no chemistry no lewd will be present. ( any additional questions, just DM me).MINORS and MINOR ACCOUNTS
