Do I obsess a bit over Clea? Yes. Do I try and keep it within healthy limits of fandom? Also yes. But passion still abounds, and that is why we find ourselves here.
Clea is a character with a long history at Marvel Comics, who has recently been brought into the spotlight, arguably for the first time, in her first solo series, titled STRANGE. With this in mind, and the knowledge that she will likely be making her MCU debut this May in Multiverse of Madness, I felt it was time to share what I know about Clea's character. Starting off with her Family History 06:45, including her mother Umar and the Faltine line she comes from, and her father Orini and the Mhuruuks of the Dark Dimension. Discussion of various other women she encounters through her journeys in the comics 15:10 Clea's Team Affiliations & Other Relationships 24:18, including allies, enemies, the Defenders, and more. Her Personal (comic book) History 31:49, running through the important parts of her entire catalogue, hit by hit. and finally, STRANGE 0:47:26 which I still think should have been called Supreme.

Please note the content warning for this video before listening.
Starting in at 0:09:48 with a brief history of the lovely Patsy Walker, before getting into her romance with Daimon Hellstrom, all that ensued, and her life since. We then go on to explore the relationships of... Deathstroke and Terra 0:17:52 Carol and Marcus 0:24:44 Ray Palmer and Jean Loring 0:36:44 the Joker and Harley Quinn 0:41:08 Purple Man and Jessica Jones 0:43:59 Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne 0:45:38 Scott Summers and Madelyne Pryor 0:49:43 Betty Ross and Bruce Banner 0:54:15 Batman and Talia Al Ghul 0:57:39 Doctor Doom and Victorious 1:00:54 Clint Barton and ____ take your pick 1:04:27 Scott Summers and Emma Frost 1:05:17 Green Arrow and Black Canary 1:08:30 the Comedian and Silk Spectre 1:09:40 Both Stephen Strange and Clea & Reed Richards and Sue Storm 1:10:28 Ororo Munroe and T'Challa; Starfire and Anyone; Piotr Rasputin and Kate (Kitty) Pryde, all @ 1:13:19 And wrapping the list up with two more Marvel heroes I wouldn't recommend dating-- 1:14:51 And all of this is to say....what, exactly? That's the question. Why do our celebrated (and disgraced) comic writers continue to knowingly create this kinds of stories, these kinds of terrible relationships---specifically for our favorite superheroes to be in? Is it to show they, too, are flawed? Hardly, we see that in other ways. Is it to make them seem more real? Again, I can't say for sure. All I can do is explore these stories with you, learn from them, and aim to do (and be) better. Stay sweaty.

UPDATE OCTOBER '21: Clea's first comic appearance in 3 years! Scroll all the way to the bottom for this delightful update on her character. Key issue list now included at the top! Clea is one of the harder characters to do a reading list about, the way that I do them. With characters like Hellcat, Carol Danvers, and Angela, there are at least a few options of where to start, or anchor points in their history to read around, and get familiar with each era a little at a time. Patsy spent a long time as friend of the Avengers before even becoming Hellcat, then spent time with Defenders, got married, died, came back, and had a few definitive solo series' through the decades. Carol has a number of Hero names to read up on, plus a period of depowerment, and what came before the triggering of her Kree genetics. With Clea, she doesn't have any moments pulled out just for her, really, as every issue she's ever been in has been for the sake of someone else--usually Stephen Strange. Her powerset, her power-levels, even her identity wasn't clarified for decades, and all after her having been nameless for her first dozen or so appearances. But she was written to be delightfully intriguing; a spark of youthful energy in the twisted, aging, LSD-laced pages of the somber and responsible Doctor Stephen Strange. This doesn't make her any less interesting--in fact, it just makes me all the more certain we need a solid, definitive SOMETHING for Clea, and I won't deny I'd love to be given that chance, especially after having spent so much time--and continuing to spend ever-more time--reading up on all her appearances. The Read List that follows is a work in progress, as most of my lists always are. Since Clea doesn't have a whole lot of well-known anchor points in her history to work off of, I'm sticking with the traditional way of reading her comics--chronologically. Therefore, this list will take a while to get to anything Modern, though I have read a good bit of her modern appearances. Because I'm sticking with chronological, this time, if there's anything more towards the bottom you want to know about--send me an email! I'd love to do some reading research for you, and update it on Clea's list at the same time. Final note! This is also a work in progress in terms of editing. My notes as I read are a mess, usually, and I often forget to go back and clean it up. I'll do what I can as I go, but a lot is just going to be missed. I stick mostly to just the events in the issue that are directly relevant to the character in question, but again, hit me up if you need clarification on anything!
