His name likely derives from Chandu the Magician, a radio drama character who also served as an inspiration for Marvel's Dr.

Doctor Strange defeats him in a fight and mystically traps Chondu's consciousness in a fawn's body.

[6] She-Hulk and Spider-Man battle the Headmen and decapitate Chondu, but he survives due to life-support equipment attached to his head.

[7] In All-New, All-Different Marvel, Chondu appears as a bartender at the Bar with no Doors, a tavern frequented by various mystics.

In his monster form, he has immense physical attributes, winged flight, the ability to constrict people or objects with his tentacle-like arms, and razor-sharp weapons.
