Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness: 24 WTF Moments

24. Defender Strange Has A Ponytail

The film kicks off with an action-packed sequence in which America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) and a variant of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbtch), dubbed "Defender Strange," fend off a demonic entity attempting to kidnap America and take her powers.

It's a fun scene, and Defender Strange is differentiated from the "prime" Strange through a few key facets of his appearance - namely his fancy new suit, more prominent silver streaks in his hair, and most amusingly the fact he's rocking a wicked ponytail.

I mean, why the hell not? If the MCU can't use variants to try out some different looks for its beloved superheroes, what's even the point?
