"The place you are looking for is called Kamar-Taj, but the cost is high."
"How much?"
"I'm not talking about the money. Good luck."

―Jonathan Pangborn and Stephen Strange^[src]

Jonathan Pangborn is a former Master of the Mystic Arts who was trained by the Ancient One but chose to leave as he wanted to heal his paralysis. He later lost his powers and his ability to walk after Karl Mordo stripped him of his powers.

Biography

Jonathan Pangborn was crippled following an unknown accident and consulted Stephen Strange only to be told that his injury was inoperable. Pangborn eventually made his way to Kamar-Taj in Kathmandu, Nepal, where he was taught to use magic. He later left Kamar-Taj as he was more interested in using his abilities to walk again.

When Strange visited Pangborn after being in a car accident that crippled his hands, Pangborn revealed the location of Kamar-Taj despite his initial reluctance, warning him that his journey would come at a great cost.

Several months later, Pangborn was confronted by Karl Mordo, who claimed that he had come to a realization about the Masters of the Mystic Arts' true purpose. Pangborn attempted to attack him with a crowbar, only for Mordo to knock him down and strip him of his powers, causing his paralysis to return.

As Pangborn asked Mordo why he was doing this to him, the former Master replied that there were too many sorcerers in the world.

Powers and Abilities

Pangborn constantly used his powers to heal his paralysis, preventing him from using it in more proactive ways. He was later stripped of his powers by Mordo as part of the former Master's quest to rid the world of its sorcerers.
