Where the guide talks about them (6)
Stephen Strange, an arrogant neurosurgeon, destroys his hands in a car crash and exhausts every medical option before finding Kamar-Taj in Nepal. He learns the mystic arts under the Ancient One and Mordo, discovers she draws power from the Dark Dimension, and — after her death — defeats Dormammu not by fighting but by trapping him in a time loop using the Eye of Agamotto and refusing to stop dying until Dormammu agrees to leave. Strange becomes Master of the New York Sanctum.
Mordo's relevance: he leaves in disillusionment, having learned the Ancient One broke her own rules. His conclusion isn't that she was a hypocrite but that the world has "too many sorcerers," and he begins stripping other practitioners of their power.
The Earth-616 Mordo hasn't been seen since 2016; that thread is open.
Strange takes America to Earth-838, where he meets the Illuminati: Mordo, Peggy Carter as Captain Carter, Blackagar Boltagon (Black Bolt), Maria Rambeau as Captain Marvel, Reed Richards (John Krasinski), and Professor Charles Xavier — Patrick Stewart, in the animated-series wheelchair. Wanda kills all of them.
