As we all know, Cloak of Levitation chooses its own master, and in every universe, Doctor Strange was the chosen one. And no matter the situation, Cloak of Levitation never leaves Strange.
We saw it in Avengers: infinity war, when Ebony Maw captured Doctor Strange, Cape of Levitation went with him, and his conscience was on Tony’s side to save Strange.
But in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness, When Reed Richards and Professor Charles Xavier were recounting Strange’s death from Earth 838, we saw his levitation cloak in Reed Richards’ hands. Why?
Was Doctor Strange Of Earth 838 deprived of value?
We saw Strange kneeling helplessly on the ground when the cloak was in the hands of Reed Richards and seemed to have no conscience.
What could have happened?
After Doctor Strange was allowed to be at fault, he was killed by Black Bolt. Since the cloak did not accompany him to death, it can be assumed that he was found guilty and the cloak disapproved of him as a master.
But even when Doctor Strange hasn’t been chosen as master by the cloak, we saw in the first Doctor Strange movie that he’s conscious and alive when kept in a glass case.
But, in Earth 838, the cloak didn’t even move an inch when Doctor was vaporized by Black Bolt. We even saw a piece of Earth 838’s cape cut and sewn to Earth 616’s Doctor Strange red cape.
Has the Mantle of Levitation been compromised?
There are two possible scenarios for this!
First, Earth 838’s levitation cloak could have been consciously trying to stop Doctor Strange from using the Darkhold to search the Multiverse for possible outcomes of a conflict with Thanos. In the process, Strange may have to neutralize the cloak to continue his pursuit.
Therefore, in the end, when the incursion happened, Strange was guilty of many things, surrendered to Black Bolt, and was ready to die.
Second, it can be assumed that the mantle was in mourning and devastated by the impending death of his master and the fact that he cannot be saved. From then on, we see the cape lying in the arms of Reed Richards without any movement.
Fans would like to know more about the Doctor Strange of Earth 838 and want to know how he started the multiversal incursion. But, unfortunately, the movie was more about Scarlet Witch and not Strange, which upset a lot of fans.
We wanted to see the madness of Doctor Strange in all universes but we got the madness of Wanda Maximoff.
