This is Doctor Strange, broadcasting on all known mystical wavelengths. The Earth is under assault. All sites of magical significance are possible targets. The Empirikul are here. And they are not at all what we were expecting. Our enemies are not magicians. Their weapons are technological. But don't allow that to make you overconfident. This... is unlike any technology I've ever seen. A technology with the power to disrupt magic.

Captain America has the Red Skull. The Fantastic Four have Doctor Doom. I have Dormammu, Lord of the Dark Dimension.

You maniac! Don't you realize the chaos you've triggered? Despite his power, Galactus is fundamentally a creature of science! To introduce a force that... that alien to the mystic realms is unconscionable! Nothing there follows the laws of existence that he carries with him!

Who do we help next?

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

The remnants of this recently destroyed environmental maintenance platform are rich with the aura of the temporal anomaly which I recently detected! Whoever he is, it is obvious that he wants to change a distant future! Though I can only guess at his motives, I sense that untold cataclysm will surely result from his actions!

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

My name is Dr. Stephen Strange. As Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, I have a unique and demanding responsibility to protect it from any mystical menaces that may threaten it.

So I've reached an arrangement with the hospital: They call me in only for the operations that no one else -- no one else -- has the skill to perform.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Your power upgrade. Where did it come from?

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Greatness has passed from our planet this day, for the incredible Hulk -- as we knew him -- is truly dead.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Depending on just who made what wishes... the Hulk might actually get exactly what he wants.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Listen -- I know you want to stand with the Hulk...bear witness...but you know what's happening. No one here is going to survive. This is the end, Amadeus...and even more importantly...this is the end he wants.

Those of you who can hear my call through the stone... I am Doctor Strange. We must have a parley. Imminent danger approaches. I summon a gathering of the Infinity Watch. Earth. Midnight tomorrow in New York's Central Park. I guarantee safe conduct for all. As some of you may know, the Infinity Stones are different than they once were. I don't know why yet -- but we must make sure they're safeguarded. I ask that you come and hear what I have to say. It's critical we six souls safeguard the stones... because we may have only one opportunity to stave off calamity.

Tony Stark. Do you remember me? I'm Dr. Stephen Strange. I've come to show you the way out of this hole you're in. The world needs it's Iron Man.

So the question is: How did they know about these items of power slipping through the dimensional cracks and we did not?

Her name is Kushala. The Demon Rider. Like my other companions, she is a Sorcerer Supreme. And like all of them, she is hiding something.

I... Kamala, a lot of time passed before you arrived. The rate of cell death... I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid there's been permanent damage. I won't know the extent until he wakes up.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

You don't have to be ashamed of who you've been... what you've done. I know... better than you could imagine... what it is to sink to the depths. To be on bended knee before God -- screaming for deliverance.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Eye of Agamotto reveal the truth beneath his skin.

Defenders! A fitting name for such a grouping as we --- if ever we've need to meet again.

You seek to weaken my resolve with fear! But know that Dr. Strange understands fear-- and rules it!

I have fought to keep the world just the way it is. I have saved it, Wong. Time and time again. And look at it...

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Our struggles of late. I have had to call upon darker forces than I would normally use….Forces I thought I could control, but I can’t. It was arrogance. The same arrogance that led me down the path I’m on in the first place. My hands are useless again. And I tried to disguise it. All these years, and I have learned nothing. There’s—I’ve had no time to deal with what I’ve done, and the forces are overpowering me. I wanted to help you, my friends. I wanted so much to help my old friend Bruce Banner. But I failed. And I have failed at my task as Sorcerer Supreme of this dimension. I—I don’t think I can help you anymore. I need to atone for what I have done. I need to relearn all that I have lost. And put back magics which I had no business using in the first place. I can’t help you anymore. You need to leave here. We all do. I’m so sorry, my friends.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

If you find her, if by some miracle -- I doubt what you'll find will help you feel better about what's happened. It may make things worse.

I need more [power]. I want to be able to move worlds and shake them to their foundations. I want enough power in my hands to tear planets from the heavens and place them in a new sky.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Her name is Nina. She calls herself The Conjuror. She's Brazilian. A Sorcerer Supreme from the 1950s. And that's all I know about her. But I sense she knows more about The Forgotten than any of us.

Eye of Agamotto, show me my enemy!

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

When you say "the Hulk," you think you know what that means. But the Hulk we knew no longer exists. There is no humanity left in him. So what we were dealing with was an animal. A monster.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Anthony Druid! You have been called to serve... and serve you shall!

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

No! Can't divert my attention now! Must refocus my concentration... hold the realms steady... for anything were to cause me to falter now... Spider-Man would surely die!

Where mankind is menaced by magic... there must Doctor Strange go to combat it!

Whether there are ghosts in that house is not for me to say! But, there are far more dangerous things than ghosts... things which most of us do not even dream exist!

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Be silent! Your cowardly sniveling does not become you! Stand aside while I save your undeserving life!

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

The dread Dormammu!! Most powerful of the dwellers in the realms of darkness!! What does he seek of us?

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

These features are as a cooling draught to my eyes! Would that I had more than her wraith to gaze upon... would that Clea herself were by my side!

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

But, no matter the danger, no matter the dread challenge that awaits me ... I ... must go forth...

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

I must deny myself! I have to be pure and undistracted to do what must be done! I can't -- I can not -- I can not love another!

Are the reasons I left them behind any less relevant now? What right do i have to endanger them again?

Evil cannot be undone Victoria. But I have had to journey to the depths of infinity and beyond to learn this lesson...that it can be healed.

I'd forgotten how terrific it felt to simply relax and not have to feel responsible for every little thing that goes wonky...

If you do not pay the utmost attention, magic can get away from you in a heartbeat. Every spell, every sigil, every manipulation... you must keep a close eye on everything so it doesn't backfire.

His power--It's grown greater than I thought! He grasps the in the Talons of Farallah--at a planetary distance!

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

It would require taking almost all of that power from you, and investing it in Mjolnir. You would be back where you were before you inherited his power. But there's something else. If I do this, if I take from you the power to recreate Mjolnir, then you and the hammer will be bound together as never before. As goes Mjolnir, so goes Thor. If the hammer is ever destroyed or damaged again this badly - you will die.

--Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

And I have found a most courageous ally in the Amazing Spider-Man. Brash and flippant he may be, but I sense in his young life a recent tragedy, perhaps greater even than my own. Whatever the truth may be, Spider-Man has a valiant spirit to match his astounding powers! Clearly, he has accepted the great responsibility that great power demands!

According to their scripture, Varkis can't be killed except in the manner depicted in the Khandra.

She thanks me for my help. I tell her that I wish the world could see the X-Men as I do. She doesn't care about the world, she says. Blink is alive, free from Selene's influence. That's what Emma cares about now. I ask her what happens next. She says that's up to Blink now. But I don't need to see the future to know what fate holds for Blink. Clarice Ferguson is a mutant, a survivor, a hero. That makes her an X-Man.
