Meaning and background

The story behind Clea

Clea has a documented Marvel character association in the official Marvel Puzzle Quest support material. Its profile identifies her as Dormammu’s niece, a daughter of Dark Dimension royalty, and a powerful practitioner of magic connected with Doctor Strange. Those details explain a specific sorceress reference for a fan’s nickname. The fictional biography does not, by itself, establish Clea’s traditional linguistic origin or a literal meaning.
