History


Nightmare controls one of the Splinter Realms known as the Nightmare Realm and the Dream Dimension. His interference with mortals often causes him to come into conflict with Doctor Strange.

A man named Havelock revealed that twelve years before he (Havelock) first encountered Doctor Strange he had washed up on one of the Sunda islands. There he encountered an old woman. During the night, the old woman had to fight off Nightmare, overlord of the Dream dimension.

Approximately 800 years ago, Nightmare raped the demoness Zilla Char, producing a daughter, Dreamqueen. Then, 350 years ago, Nightmare meddled with the Dreamqueen's schemes involving Native Americans.
