His origins are tied to a technologically advanced alien civilization, where he honed his considerable arcane skills.

Throughout his comic book appearances, Sorman has frequently clashed with the Defenders and other Marvel heroes. His motivations are often driven by a desire for power, control, or the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. While primarily a magical threat, Sorman's alien heritage also grants him enhanced physical attributes and knowledge beyond that of ordinary humans. His magical repertoire includes energy projection, telekinesis, illusion casting, and dimensional manipulation. Sorman's true name and the specific details of his homeworld are not always consistently defined, adding to his enigmatic nature. His presence in the Marvel Universe often signifies a significant magical threat requiring the combined efforts of powerful heroes to overcome.
