Major Story Arcs

Mister Misery

During a game of door tag, a regular game of tag played through the many teleportation doors on campus, one of Toth's classmates, Calvin, went missing. His magical jacket crawled back to the school to round up the students for a rescue mission. Toth was eager to join.

They found Calvin in the clutches of The Hollow, a magic cult of tree people that were targeting the school. After a long fight that required the help of the academy staff, Calvin was rescued. In the process, Toth notices that Calvin's jacket is actually Mister Misery.

Some time later, Toth was studying late one night and fell asleep in the library. He eventually headed back to his dorm very late. He was attacked by Mister Misery in the hallway and was shattered. He is capable of being reassembled and revived with the right spell, but Mister Misery had taken his heart shard, the only piece required for the spell to work.

Private investigator, Howard the Duck, connected the crime to Calvin forcing Mister Misery to reveal himself. The student body fought Misery until Calvin and the heart shard were freed. Now, that they had his heart, Toth was able to be revived. He was given a warm welcome by the student body but saved his biggest hug for Calvin, forgiving him for whatever role Calvin played in Toth's attack.

Solve for X

Toth was part of a group of students that were using mathematics to decipher ancient texts and better understand magic. Impressed, Zelma Stanton had surprised them with a field trip to New York City where they will compete in the Multiversal Math Bowl. This year, it was being held at Brooklyn Visions Academy. In addition to Shaylee, the team consisted of: Doyle, German, Shaylee, and Guslaug. Once there, they get to meet Dr. Erasmus Dawnbright, aka Equation, the leading expert on "enchantimatics," the math of magic, and fairyworld exile. Between defending him from a fairy posse with the help of Spider-Man and both Earth schools getting first and second in the math bowl, Strange Academy made quite the impression on Equation. He has an important project he was looking to recruit for, and he believed Doyle and Shaylee were the two for the job.

Unfortunately, Zelma thought that was a bad idea, so Equation decided to trap her in his mathematics book. Same with Toth, Germān, and Guslaug who had figured out that Equation faked the fairy raid to test the participants. Doyle and Shaylee were none the wiser, but thankfully, Germān was able to get as astral projection to Spider-Man to ask for help. Spidey was led back to the book where he was able to release Zelma and the students. Using Toth's heart, they were able to locate Shaylee, his girlfriend, and rescue them from Equation's mind-control.

After they freed Shaylee, their strategy was for Shaylee to pretend to be in his thrall, so that they could get close to him. When they found him, he had already derealized Doyle and was about to do the same to all of magic. He immediately figured her out and overwhelmed the group, stealing the Book of Enchantimatics. However, German remained inside the book and pulled both Equation and all his classmates in with him, where they were able to overwhelm Equation with their own math formulas.

Afterward, with the help of a recently resurrected Doctor Strange, they were able to re-realize Doyle.

Blood Hunt

When the vampire cult, The Structure, flooded the sky with darkforce energy in a bid for world domination, Voodoo recalled all the students back to campus, where he put up a protection spell. A scrappy group of students, including Toth, overheard him talking to the astral form of Doctor Strange. He needed Voodoo to go to Madripoor, where Strange had sensed the Darkhold, an ancient book that includes the Montessi Formula, which would eradicate all vampires. Voodoo refused, but the eavesdropping students decided to take matters into their own hands When they teleport themselves to Madripoor, they find a young boy, the Darkhold made flesh.

Darkhold was already considering the Montessi Formula, however, the newly enrolled Pia revealed her vampiric nature when she attacked him. She was afraid of being destroyed with the formula. Her fellow students were shocked at first, but they ultimately agreed with her concern. They thought they could negotiate with Darkhold, since he genuinely wanted to save the world. Unfortunately, when their former professor, Agatha Harkness, showed up to take guardianship of Darkhold, he teleported away with Pia as his prisoner.

The students were forced to fight through hordes of vampires looking for Pia and Darkhold. When they finally caught up with them, Pia was defending Darkhold from Agatha and the doubles she had conjured. They joined the fight, eventually defeating Agatha and inviting Darkhold to join their school.

Doom Academy

After the Blood Hunt, Doctor Doom had usurped the role of the Sorcerer Supreme and set out to take over the world. In his new role, he had the Strange Academy shutdown and invited the students to join his own magic school, The Doom Academy. Only a few students took him up on the offer including Toth. Administrators Doctor Voodoo and Zelma Stanton also took new jobs there. The students were worried about their new accommodations, but the school proved more welcoming and safe for magic users, especially those that didn't pass for humans.
