2017 Geek-A-Long: Dr. Strange
My gut instinct says to fill this post with gifs of Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange with the Cloak of Levitation, because let’s all be honest here, his red cloak was the real MVP of that movie. I mean, it was basically the cooler older brother to Carpet from Disney’s Aladdin.
In all seriousness though, normally I like to get super nerdy and lay down some comic book history, but I know zero things about Doctor Strange. Okay, maybe not ZERO thing, but it’s a short list. Everything I know about the magical superhero comes from the movie . And to be honest, I don’t remember much about it other than the fact that I drooled over Benedict’s cheekbones, wished he would shave, fell in love with the Cloak of Levitation, and giggled through most of the Easter Egg with Thor. Normally, I don’t care for the Thor movies, but I am 100 percent ready to see a Doctor Strange/Loki team-up!
Despite my self proclaimed love for the Cloak of Levitation, you might notice that it isn’t on Doctor Strange’s square. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when we design and knit things in advance. My brother-in-law, who actually knows a bit about Stephen Strange, said that we had to put the Eye of Agamotto on the square. The amulet is in the movie and plays a pivotal role, but — as the MCU is want to do — they gave it a sleeker design. I like the older version of the amulet though.
If you haven’t seen the movie yet or read the comic books, the Eye of Agamotto is the amulet that Dr. Strange wears around his neck. Like most items of power in the Marvel Universe, it has a long history. The gist of it, however, is that it allows the wearer to see through illusions and view past events. It does a few other tricks as well, but if you’re a big fan of the MCU, you’ve probably already guessed that it contains an infinity stone. Shocking, I know.

At some point, the Ancient One reclaimed the Amulet from Strange and, without telling him, returned it to Agamotto, who kept it in his dimension where it remained for years. Eventually, Agamotto decided to use it to test the fanatical sorcerer Silver Dagger who had been imprisoned in that realm since being defeated by Doctor Strange. After finding the Amulet that Agamotto had "carelessly" left lying around, Silver Dagger took advantage of Strange's brief visit to that realm to pluck out his own left eye and mystically implant it into Strange's left eye socket (empty since that eye had been destroyed by a demon). Silver Dagger then stole the Amulet and hid it within his now-empty eye socket before escaping to Earth. Some months later, during the Infinity Gauntlet event, Silver Dagger and some of his followers confronted Strange in an attempt to kill him and reclaim his eye. However, Strange was able to use his Eye of Agamotto to overcome and imprison Silver Dagger. As soon as that happened, Silver Dagger became blind in his left eye again just as Agamotto appeared, revealed that he had been testing Silver Dagger (as Strange had secretly deduced) and took "Dag" with him back to his realm.

Strange to peer into the future, rewind or fast forward time, and even create time loops. This makes it a vital tool for Dr. Strange in his mission to protect the Earth from supernatural threats. Aside from its time manipulation abilities, the Eye of Agamotto also has other uses. It can reveal hidden truths and illusions, acting as a truth detector or a lie detector. It can also be used to dispel dark magic and protect its wearer from evil forces. The amulet is even capable of transporting its bearer to other dimensions and realms, allowing Dr. Strange to travel across the multiverse. However, the Eye of Agamotto is not without its limitations. It requires a skilled sorcerer like Dr. Strange to utilize its powers effectively. Overusing its powers can have profound consequences, potentially disrupting the natural flow of time and causing catastrophic events. Additionally, the Eye of Agamotto is vulnerable to certain mystical beings and artifacts, making it a target for those who seek to harness its power for their own purposes. Overall, Dr. Strange's Amulet, the Eye of Agamotto, is a central element in the mystic abilities of the sorcerer supreme. Its time manipulation powers, truth-revealing abilities, and transportation capabilities make it a formidable and invaluable tool in Dr. Strange's fight against supernatural threats..
