The Comic Book Origin of Doctor Strange 2’s Illuminati

The Illuminati, a group of Marvel’s most famous heroes, will make their official debut Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madness. The heroes from every corner of the Marvel Universe have come together to form a secret organization that works behind the scenes to monitor and protect the world against potential threats. Fans have speculated about the existence of the Illuminati in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and they will finally come out of the shadows in an unexpected way. Thanks to the Multiverse, Doctor Strange 2 can now bring the Illuminati into the MCU fold, and the comic book origin story provides clues as to how it works.

Writer Brian Michael Bendis’s work period on Avengers He gave the franchise to the Illuminati, as he and artist Steve McNavin officially introduced the team in 2005’s New Avengers #7. The Illuminati roster consisted of Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Mister Fantastic, Namor, Charles Xavier/Professor X, and Black Bolt. At first glance, it may not be clear why these heroes were chosen, but what the creators were striving to achieve was to make each character represent a different part of the larger Marvel universe. For example, Iron Man represents the Avengers, Doctor Strange represents the mystical/supernatural, Black Bolt represents Human, Namor represents Atlantis, Mr. Fantastic has an eye for science, and Professor X represents the mutant community.

Iron Man wanted the Illuminati to be a fully functional superhero team, but the others weren’t crazy about the idea. Tony Stark brought them together in the wake of the Kree-Skrull War, as fans were able to see a version of the action hit the big screen in 2019 Captain Marvel. The Marvel superhero community was caught by surprise when the war broke out, but they all individually had separate pieces of information that could have given them an advantage had they shared it together. Not wanting something like this to happen a second time, Iron Man came up with the idea of ​​the Illuminati.

Each member made a valid argument against their work together, but they all realized that it would probably be in their best interest to continue meeting to share information. The only hero who was present and refused to join was the Black Panther. The King of Wakanda did not see the value in their secret meetings and expected that the whole idea would explode in their faces. Somehow, he ended up being proven right.

Separated illuminati The mini-series was later published by Bendis and artist Jim Cheung with the title New Avengers: Illuminati. The miniseries revealed some of their never-before-seen adventures, such as their journey to threaten the Skrulls. Eventually they would be captured and studied, which led to Skrulls developing technology that allowed them to impersonate heroes like Black Bolt in Secret Invasion.

The most famous act of the Illuminati was to get rid of the Hulk from Earth in a spacecraft in order to prevent it from threatening the planet with its destructive nature. This sparked the “Planet Hulk” and “World War Hulk” story arcs, and parts of Thor: Ragnarok’s “Planet Hulk” were adapted for 2017. Black Panther was eventually proven right, as Iron Man voted to ship the Hulk into space, The other members of the Illuminati voted against it. The superhero Civil War became the final blow to the Illuminati, as the hero fought and the group splintered as a result.

There was already a grumble about what form the Illuminati would take Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madness. The first trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness teased Professor Charles Xavier for director Patrick Stewart, with the actor later confirming his involvement. also Dr. Gharib 2 A teaser for the Illuminati has already been named, and a leak of the film over the weekend revealed more potential cast members.
