Description
Wong is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the sidekick and valet of Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth. Wong first appeared in the comic Strange Tales #110 (July 1963) but was unnamed until Strange Tales #119.

Wong was the descendant and look-alike of Kan, a Tibetan monk who lived roughly one thousand years ago and was a student of the occult. For the ten generations preceding Wong's, the first-born males in his line have served the Ancient One, the former Sorcerer Supreme of the Earth dimension. The last of the members of Wong's family to serve the Ancient One was Wong's own father, Hamir the Hermit, who remained with the Ancient One up to the time of the latter's death.

Wong was the first-born son of Hamir, and thus his life was dedicated to the Ancient One from earliest childhood. When Wong was four years old, Hamir presented him to the Ancient One. Subsequently, Wong was sent to a remote monastery to receive training in how to serve a master sorcerer. Wong's relatives were allowed to visit him on occasions. Shortly before Wong's tenth birthday, Hamir brought a young couple to the monastery to visit Wong and made a marriage pact with them, betrothing Wong to their as yet unborn daughter. During his training at the monastery, Wong mastered certain asian martial arts. He remains highly adept in the martial arts, although since actually becoming a servant he no longer practices them as much as he once did.

When Wong reached adulthood, the Ancient One sent him to the United States to his disciple, Doctor Stephen Strange. Wong was the first member of his family to come to America. Wong served Strange loyally and well for many years. During that time Strange succeeded the Ancient One as sorcerer supreme of the Earth dimension.

At some point after moving to America, Wong received word that the couple of his father's choosing had at last birthed a daughter.

Years later, after Imei Chang, the woman to whom he was betrothed, had learned to read, Wong began to write letters to her in which he frequently mentioned Doctor Strange.

At one point Wong was abducted by other dimensional sorcerers to the realm that was still ruled by the Shadowqueen. Doctor Strange followed Wong there and rescued him from the Shadowqueen's dungeon. Wong helped Strange battle the Shadowqueen, who finally perished.

Strange's secretary, Sara Wolfe, became strongly attracted to Wong, who began to reciprocate her feelings. However, Wong put an end to what might have become a romance with Wolfe, saying that it must not be because some of them had duties in their lives, and initially refused to discuss his decision with Sara. However, after Strange insisted that he explain why he had distanced himself, Wong finally admitted that he had grown fond of her but was not going to allow it to go any further because he was promised to another. Although Sara tried to go back to being friends, she remained upset for some days until Wong, realizing that he had caused her further pain by not fully explaining himself, finally told her about how his marriage had been arranged. Even though she now understood the situation, Sara considered it crazy.

Soon afterwards, Wong and the empath, Topaz, were both abducted to another planet by the alien sorcerer, Urthona, when the latter used his magical powers to steal Doctor Strange's house and the mystical talismans and books it contained. Urthona even viciously mutilated Wong's face while holding him prisoner, Strange defeated Urthona and rescued Wong and Topaz. Once Strange had transported them and the house back to Earth, Topaz used her healing powers to restore Wong's face to normalcy.

In order to rescue Wong and Topaz, Strange had found it necessary to unleash mystical forces that, he believed, destroyed the mystical talismans and books that Urthona had stolen, thus preventing Urthona from using them for evil purposes. (In actuality, and unknown to Strange, most of the the books and talismans were not destroyed but were instead spirited away by the mystical entity, Agamotto.) The disappearance of these talismans from the Earth dimension broke certain ancient spells holding various mystical menaces in check.

After discovering how bad the situation he had created truly was, Strange subsequently cast a spell causing the population of the world, including Wong and Sara Wolfe, to believe him dead. As a result, Wong and Wolfe perceived Strange as a man named Stephen Sanders. Strange made Wong and Wolfe the joint administrators of the Stephen Strange Memorial Metaphysical Institute, an institution for research into the occult. Strange then embarked on a long quest during which he succeeded in defeating a number of the menaces that the disappearance of the talismans had unleashed, most notably Shuma-Gorath.

During the months that Strange was away fighting to save Earth, Imei Chang arrived in New York City to be with her betrothed and apparently began living at the Stephen Strange Memorial Metaphysical Institute. Following the defeat of Shuma-Gorath, Strange returned to New York City and arrived at the institute where Wong introduced "Doctor Sanders" to Imei. Minutes later, Strange partially dissolved the spell, enough to release Wong and Sara Wolfe from his spell and restore their memories of what had actually happened. Realizing that Strange was not dead, Wong and Wolfe warmly welcomed him back.

Since then, Doctor Strange has regained his missing talismans and books and the general populace has also learned that Strange was still alive.
