After Strange and America meet with Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) on Earth-838, he poisons their tea and brings them to the secret society known as the Illuminati.

The outfit consists of Mordo, Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), Black Bolt (Anson Mount), Captain Marvel (Lashana Lynch), Reed Richards (John Krasinski), and Professor X (Patrick Stewart).

The group explains that the 838 Strange, a former Illuminati member, recklessly used the Darkhold after they defeated Thanos, and so the Illuminati sentenced him to death, with Black Bolt using his powers to turn Strange to dust.

The sheer presence of these crowd-pleasing variants - especially the oft-fancast John Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic - makes this scene completely wild to behold. Plus, in a neat touch the arrival of Patrick Stewart's Professor X even includes a light rendition of the classic animated X-Men theme.
