The introduction of magic into the MCU boosts
Marvel Studios' ambitions for future
Movies by taking existing ideas to greater levels. Earlier chapters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe concentrated on more realistic and earth action heroes before moving on to those in space. Off-Earth individuals provided a direct link to magic-based avengers. Magic was first used in the MCU in Thor, after Tom Hiddleson appeared as Loki Laufeyson, God of Mischief. Magic was not limited to the Nine Realms in the MCU, and it gradually made its way across a variety of Marvel films with the launch of Doctor Strange in 2016.
Magic has become crucial, if not simply ordinary, aspect of storytelling in the forthcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, while moving the entire franchise further. With the Multiverse expanding at such a rapid pace, the usage of magic is becoming ever more critical to keeping the world afloat. As even more spell-casting mayhem awaits, here are the MCU's strongest magic-users thus far.
#1 Wanda "Scarlet Witch" Maximoff
Maximoff has obtained telepathic powers and psionic mastery as a result of her contact with cosmic energy. She is a talented telekinetic and telepath with the ability to generate force fields and fly. Maximoff, like Harkness, assumes the title of Master Sorceress for herself and practices chaotic magic on a deeper level. With chaos magic comes the ability to manipulate reality, time, and the emergence of life. The Scarlet Witch has greater mastery over energy, weather, water, and fire. She can absorb energy, astrally project, teleport from one location to another, and conjure. Maximoff can perform protective rituals learned from Harkness and manipulate people's minds and emotions.
#2 Doctor Stephen Strange
Strange's position as Master Sorcerer and guardian of the New York Sanctum Santorum gives him a significant advantage over other Masters of the Mystic Arts. He possesses the power to use Eldritch Magic to create gateways, Tao Mandalas, and Eldritch Whips. Strange may move between dimensions thanks to portals, which the Sorcerer can activate using a variety of spells like Wind, Binding, Warding, Shield, Duplication, Transformation, Teleportation, Imprisonment, Earth-Swallowing, Locator, and Enchantment. Strange's energy projections allow him to manipulate the energy surrounding him to his favor and control massive torrents of energy. On his own, he can construct and operate the Mirror Dimension, as well as govern the reality within reality. It has been proven that he can fly and alter dimensions with ease. Previously, the Sorcerer Supreme could control time, create time loops, and reconstruct events.
#3 The Acient One
The Ancient One was a highly strong and competent master sorceress, holding vast mystical properties and absolute command and understanding of the mystic arts as the Sorcerer Supreme and the leader and most powerful figure of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. In addition to her astral powers, the Ancient One can gain access to a vast array of magical powers such as Portal Creation, Interdimensional Travel, Illusion Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Reality Warping, and Dark Dimension Magic Manipulation with the help of various mystical objects and relics.
#4 Agatha Harkness
Harkness's Master Sorceress title enables her to harness power while manipulating the mystic and black force she emanates. She can absorb energy surrounding her and detect energy that is not her own. On top of that, Harkness can project energy onto people. Harkness has an immediate mental edge by being able to shift materials around her without physically lifting a finger. Harkness benefits cognitively and psychologically from mental manipulation as she interacts with and influences the mental states of others. The Master Sorceress can construct illusionary environments both physically and emotionally thanks to illusion manipulation. She also uses great magical skills including enchantment, necromancy, teleportation, and Darkhold manipulation.
#5 Loki Laufeyson
Loki's capabilities grant him a variety of extraordinary skills. His magical abilities allow them to manipulate and control people around them. Loki was able to display extraordinarily vivid representations of himself from distance thanks to illusion manipulation. Duplication casting works similarly to a holographic mirror, displaying numerous fake likenesses in order to confuse the opponent. While these projections cannot interact directly with one another, they can play many roles simultaneously. Loki employed presence camouflage to avoid being discovered, making himself invisible to others around him. Loki may affect the mindsets of others by mental manipulation, which operates similarly to mind control. Conjuration was employed to bring everything into his grasp, and Laufeyson's shapeshifting skills allowed them to adopt any form they desired.
#6 Kaecilius
Kaecilius, a splendid student of the Ancient One, was among the most influential members of the Masters of the Mystic Arts, obtaining an extraordinary mastery of the mystic arts and, with the help of various mystical artifacts and relics, in addition to his astral powers, Kaecilius can connect to a vast number of magical properties. With skills like Weapon Manifestation, Time Manipulation Resistance, Energy Manipulation, and Dark Dimension Magic Manipulation, his general magic talent has proven to be strong enough to hold his even against his teacher, the Ancient One.

Chavez possesses extraordinary speed as well as superhuman strength. She exhibits superhuman endurance, bioluminescence, and the capacity to move between dimensions. Aside from her impenetrable skin and flying abilities, America will also be able to travel through teleportation. The Doctor Strange sequel teaser contains the first appearance of America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
#8 Baron Karl Mordo
Mordo used to be a Master Sorcerer, among the most prominent members of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. Using Eldritch Magic, he can shape, construct, and change the condition of his environment. He can also remove himself from his corporeal body through astral projection and travel through portals with the help of the Sling Ring. Mordo's power also allows him to absorb energy from others around him.
#9 Wong
Wong is one of the Masters of the Mystic Arts and is regarded as one of their most important members. He can channel Eldritch Magic into spells, shields, and other weaponry. Eldritch Magic is also utilized to produce holographic projections, which are used to illustrate creative ideas. The Sling Ring assists Wong in the creation of gateways suitable for interdimensional travel, and he may create obstacles through the practice of Tao Mandalas. Wong, like other Masters of the Mystic Arts, may astrally project and obtain entry to the Astral Dimension.
