Mordo also wears the Vaulting Boots of Valtorr.
The very first Wand of Watoomb was broken until it reconstructed by the disciples of Dormammu. They are objects of immense power, capable of greatly enhancing the mystical energies of the wielder. In the comics, there are six mystical artifacts from different dimensions that bear the name. There's a lot of weird words uttered in Doctor Strange, but almost all of them are rooted in the source material.įor instance, the Wand of Watoomb, which Mordo mentions in passing and is wielded by Wong at the movie's climax, is a recurring MacGuffin in plenty of Strange stories. Either way, it’s good to know the Tribunal exists, just in case The Avengers don’t patch things up in time. Interestingly, The Living Tribunal’s power is said to dwarf that of the Infinity Gauntlet, which is about to dominate the MCU in future movies. In the comics, Doctor Strange was the first earth-dweller to encounter this awesome being. It usually intervenes when the cosmic balance is seriously threatened. This vast, humanoid cosmic entity protects the Multiverse from destruction. The Living Tribunal is, in fact, one of the most powerful beings in all of Marvel. He goes on to explain that some magic is too powerful to be sustained by humans alone, so artifacts are used to carry the burden.
While sparring, Mordo wields a weapon he names as The Staff of the Living Tribunal. Incidentally, that piece of art by Marie Severin features another character referenced elsewhere in the movie: The Living Tribunal. The appreciation is mutual, too, with the British band featuring artwork from Strange Tales #158 on the cover of their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets (1968). The song playing while Strange has his life-changing car crash is the psychedelic rock classic Interstellar Overdrive (1967) by Pink Floyd.Ĭomparison: a Saucerful of Secrets (1968) and Marie Severin's art from Strange Tales #158.
