Doctor Strange will have a worldwide release in November 2016, and many will be quite clueless about what world they will be entering. Here are five items from Doctor Strange’s world that may give you an inkling of what to expect in the movie.
1) The Book Of Cagliostro
In the comics, the Book Of Cagliostro is used by Doctor Strange to travel in time. The book was used by Baron Mordo to fight the Ancient One in one of his grand schemes. The book contained sorcery spells and information, some of it being dark magic, so it was too powerful an item to fall into the wrong hands. It was written by another Marvel mystic called Cagliostro. Doctor Strange defeated Baron Mordo and kept the book in his Sanctum Sanctorum.
2) The Eye Of Agamotto
In the comics, the Eye of Agamotto is a physical representation of the power of wisdom. It has the power to dispel illusions, read minds, identify and track both physical and spectral beings, weaken evil creatures, look into the past and create time portals between dimensions.
3) The Cloak Of Levitation
The Cloak of Levitation lives up to its name and gives Doctor Strange the power of flight. It is also very hard to damage as it has magical enchantments woven into its fabrics. It was gifted to the Doctor by The Ancient One and it is an important part of the hero’s costume. It has also saved the Doctor in times of battle, acting somewhat like a bulletproof shield.
4) The Staff Of Polar Power
The Staff of Polar Power is used by Doctor Strange and the cosmic being called the Living Tribunal to harness, channel and focus cosmic energy. It gets its name changed into The Staff Of The Living Tribunal in the film and is used by Baron Mordo in a training sequence with Doctor Strange.
5) The Time Gem
The Time Gem has the power to control time itself. This power comes in the form of visions of possible or probable futures, time travel, control over aging and to trap others in time loops. The Time Gem gets transformed into the Time Stone in the movie version. A powerful stone which makes up the fifth part of the Infinity Stones.
