10 Powers You Forgot MCU Characters Had

3. Doctor Strange - Time Looping

Doctor Strange is a very confusing movie full of magic, mystery and mindboggling CGI but the conclusion is probably the most straightforward but forgotten part. Faced with the great evil, Dormammu, Strange creates a neverending time loop that cannot be escaped from unless he chooses to end it - Dormammu begs for release and Strange saves the world.

Maybe not the strongest ending to an MCU film but it does give us an insight into what Doctor Strange can do with the Eye of Agamotto (later revealed to house the Time Stone)... Or, at least, it tried.

You see, this tactic would have been rather useful to keep Thanos occupied when the Mad Titan tried to take the Time Stone from Strange as an inescapable void of time that has no bearing on the wider universe probably would have saved half of all life in the universe.

So this power is destined to be a one time use only by the looks of things, despite how incredibly useful it could have been during pretty much all of Strange's later appearances in the franchise - how easy it is to forget.

Probably the only person ever to see all the endings of the awful Shadow the Hedgehog video game. Professional proofreader, football fanatic, lion tamer and occasional liar.
