WARNING: Minor spoilers for Timeless #1 ahead!
A teaser for the new Timeless #1 issue from Marvel is finally revealing exactly how Doyle could defeat his father.
Doyle Dormammu is just one of several Strange Academy students who come from a lineage of evil families, but Dormammu is definitely the most evil parent of a student that the Academy has. Doyle has proven himself to be a caring, comionate, intelligent (and overly cocky) young man who is truly trying his very best to avoid becoming anything like his wicked father, who is the tyrannical and demonic ruler of The Dark Dimension. The young Dormammu has grown quite close to his classmate Calvin, and has also entered into a romantic relationship with the powerful student Emily Bright, so at this point he has a lot to lose if Dormammu tries to attack his school (as was predicted in a vision shown to Doyle).
In a Dormammu destroying the entire academy in the future, and has also traveled to a future timeline where Doyle is evil and fighting against his former classmates. So the questions remains, what will happen to Doyle after he defeats his father?
The reference to the Twilight Sword could be referring to one of two ultra-powerful weapons in Marvel canon. The first, and less likely one, was the sword used by Annihilation and Genesis in Amenth most recently Beta Ray Bill himself. It remains to be seen how Doyle gets his hands on the Twilight Sword, but it is clear from the history of the weapon that it could destroy Dormammu if given the chance.
Perhaps Dormammu will destroy the Strange Academy in the near future (as predicted by Voodoo priestess Miss Hazel), causing Doyle to fight and defeat his father, before taking his place as the ruler of the Dark Dimension? If all the visions and futures Doyle has seen were to be on the same timeline, this progression would make sense, but one still has to hold out hope that Doyle will find a way defeat the Lord of Chaos without filling the vacuum left by his destruction. Make sure to pick up Timeless #1 to see Doyle Dormammu's future and his deadly battle with his father, the Dread Dormammu.
