Mia DiMaria debuted inG.O.D.S.#2, by Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti, with the story depicting her as being torn between the Marvel Universe’s magical “Powers-That-Be,” and “The-Natural-Order-Of-Things,” representing the forces of science. Mia’s natural talents and her penchant for both magic and science made her a prime applicant for both factions thatfollow these Universal Abstracts.
Despite Mia being a mere apprentice to the The-Powers-That-Be, inG.O.D.S. One World Under Doom#1, Doom asks her to help him keep sun-demons from breaking out the sun’s core, and immediately starts teaching her magical knowledge, suggesting that Doom views her as his equal. Notably, Doom never once talks down to Mia, instead expressing subtle admiration for her.
Even when Mia first learned magic, she could bend light around her to become invisible; further, she’s demonstrated the ability to manifest a massive weapon of energy by channeling her inner power, which is a true testament to her incredible potential. Doom acknowledges this aforementioned untapped power, and because of Doom’s encouragement, Mia finally commands the respect she deserves from Wyn.

Mia DiMaria Is On Doom’s Level As A Sorcerer
The connection that Doctor Doom and Mia display is palpable. Wyn notes that Doom instantly saw Mia’s potential, and that the Sorcerer Supreme is looking for an apprentice. Mia exhibits her intelligence by avoiding becoming indebted to Doctor Doom, but their uniquely shared talents in both magic and science make Mia and Doctor Doom a potentially dangerous future duo.
Doom teaching Mia his magicand displaying admiration towards her shows that he would sooner have Mia as an ally rather than an enemy.Doctor Doomwouldn’t easily cross Mia because of her untapped power, but also because he respects her as a sorcerer. As Mia DiMaria’s skills grow,Marvelmay have a new, most powerful magic superhero.
