10 Things Marvel Wants You To Forget About Doctor Strange

10. Rintrah

The Marvel Universe is no stranger to weird looking creatures. Heck, one of Thor's most popular supporting characters is an alien horse-monster with his own hammer. Even by those standards though, Rintrah is pretty odd.

Rintrah was a being from another dimension and the apprentice of Enitharmon the Weaver. He visited Doctor Strange after his master fixed the Cloak of Levitation and just kind of became his apprentice instead after hanging around the Sanctum Sanctorum for a while.

The problem with Rintrah is that he just looks too weird to be a legitimate character. Instead he seems like he would be better suited a background monster in some kind Dungeons and Dragons knockoff story.

It's also quite hard to take anything Strange says seriously when a dramatic scene has a giant green minotaur in the background.

Apparently Marvel agreed. Despite being billed as having great magical potential, Rintrah one day decided that the best way to keep an ancient artefact out of Dormammu's hands was too smash it with his fists. The resulting explosion killed him instantly.

Doctor Strange mourned his apprentice's death the way we all should, by forgetting about him almost immediately and never mentioning him again.
