History:
(Strange Academy I#4 (fb) - BTS) - The giant beast battled sorcerer supreme Doctor Strange, who barely bested the beast and bound it inside of a mystic tome for all eternity. Eventually, young Strange Academy Doyle Dormammu found a locked book inside the Academy library and unlocked it, accidentally releasing the giant beast from its prison.

(Strange Academy I#4) - The giant beast began smashing its way through the Strange Academy library, announcing to the nearby students and personnel that they were living their last moments. Zelma Stanton reminded the beast that its imprisonment was for all eternity and that it would be returning to its book prison but the giant beast proclaimed that Dr. Strange had only barely bested it once before before asking what Zelma and the Strange Academy students hoped to accomplish against it. Student Zoe Laveau suggested that, in the future, Doyle Dormammu leave locked books locked and Doyle insisted that his releasing the beast was an accident and that he had no way of knowing the book was a prison. Zelma responded by suggesting they not point blame and instead focus on the lesson to be learned from the situation that danger was everywhere when magic was involved. She then opened the beast's prison book in an attempt to reimprison it and had Asgardian giant Gus attack and force the giant beast back into the book, which Zelma then closed and locked, successfully reimprisoning the beast.
