Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - characters & stuff

We talk about the characters and stuff of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness!

Show notes...

Earth-616: This is the “main” universe for the Marvel stories. In “Multiverse of Madness, the MCU universe was referred to as 616, but that’s not really accurate. 

America Chavez: An inter-dimensional explorer. Her powers are very similar as they are in the comics, and she’s further proof that the MCU is planning some “Young Avenger” team up.

Gargantos: He’s just a big monster. 

Darkhold: This book has played a lot of roles in Marvel comics, including stuff with the Midnight Sons. It’s odd that it was destroyed in the movie. 

Book of the Vishanti: Another magic book from the comics, but lesser known. 

Tommy and Billy: More evidence of an upcoming Young Avengers project. This is super complex in the comics, the twins being born from odd magic and deals with devils. 

Mr. Fantastic: This is the first time we’ve had any reference of the Fantastic Four in the MCU. Reed is super smart and formed the Illuminati. Fans have been begging John Krasinski to play Reed Richards for years.

Maria Rambeau as Captain Marvel: The Captain Marvel from the movie is sort of like the Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel from the comics. But, this was Maria, not Monica. And Maria had no super powers in the comics, except being a great mother to Monica, who would go on to be Captain Marvel in the comics. 

Captain Carter: We’ve seen her in “What If” and now we get to see the live action version, played by Hayley Atwell! She was great, no matter how you slice it! 

Professor X: Our first hint of the X-men in the MCU. Professor X was also a founding member of the Illuminati. Patrick Stewart played the Professor in several X-men movies. Will he play him more?

Black Bolt: Another founding member of the Illuminati and has powers that will blow your mind! 

Mount Wundagore: This is the mountain where Quicksilver and the Scarlett Witch were raised in the comics. And, well, other stuff happened here too. 

Monsters in the Temple: Chthon created the Darkhold and he created creatures using the Darkhold, like the ones we saw. 

Rintrah: A big cow-man with magic training, taught by Strange himself. 

Clea: This was a huge reveal. Clea is Strange’s love interest. They married. Dr. Strange died. Clea took his place and is currently the Sorcerer Supreme in the Marvel comics 616 universe. She has direct ties to Dormammu. If you looked closely, Clea tore a hole in reality and the Dormammu universe art assets are on the other side.
