History Characters / MCUMastersOfTheMysticArts

* SuperJumping: They have the power to increase the wearer's leaping ability.

* WorldsBestWarrior: She was definitely this among the Masters of the Mystic Arts, being that she is the Sorcerer Supreme and has decades of fighting experience over any other Masters. Even the arrogant Kaecillus and the Zealots feared her to where they would only fight her after acquiring power from Dormammu and chose running away as the first option when she cornered them and only fought her when she had them trapped, during which she took out more than half of them by herself without breaking a sweat. Even after they have acquired the power boost they wanted to use to kill her and destroy the Masters of the Mystic Arts, she still stomps them with ease in a three-on-one fight and it's only due to Kaecillus catching her by surprise and sacrificing his own follower that he was able to kill her. Her death left the Sorcerer Supreme position vacant with no one able to take over yet and it was explicitly stated that having been the one who repelled most interdimensional threats, Earth has grown more vulnerable with her death.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Averted. America is the only characters who actually manages to land a good number of blows on the BigBad in ''Multiverse of Madness'', but she still can't win with brute force alone. [[spoiler:It takes America opening a portal to Earth-838 and forcing Wanda to have a HeelRealization to save the day.]]

'''Doctor Strange:''' Alright, Pizza Poppa, relax. She's just a kid and she was hungry-\\

The librarian of the Lost Library of Cagliostro.
----
* ActuallyIAmHim: Seemingly subverted. After asking O'Bengh where Cagliostro is, and receiving a hopelessly vague answer, Strange asks if he's Cagliostro. O'Bengh duly clarifies that he isn't, but given how in the comics "O'Bengh" is speculated to be Cagliostro's real name...
* AlternateSelf: Averted. He's notably one of the few characters seen in ''What If'' who was not initially introduced in a previous MCU installment, making him an original creation here.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He's dying of old age by the time Strange finishes his preparation, but refuses the offer to extend his life even further past the centuries he's had, saying even sorcerers have to die at some point.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: He is the keeper of mystical knowledge who has one blue eye and one red eye.
[[/folder]]

* BigEater: America loves to eat pizza, whether as a pie or in ball form. According to her, her stomach is different than that of normal humans, which allows her to eat more pizzas than anyone else.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', since much of the film's conflict is about Strange protecting her from [[spoiler:Wanda Maximoff]].
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:At the climax of the film, America not only finds the courage but actually manages to land a good number of punches and one kick at [[BigBad Scarlet Witch]] that briefly stuns her.]]

* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: She and Wong make remarks about Strange's inability to speak Spanish while conversing in said language.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: In ''Multiverse of Madness'', America Chavez is a teenager who teams up with the middle-aged Stephen Strange. They quickly learn to trust each other out of necessity and sympathize over their respective pasts. [[spoiler:After America joins the Masters of the Mystic Arts, she tells Strange that she is glad to have met him, and he feels the same way as well.]]

* JustAKid: [[spoiler:Strange and Wong angrily tell Wanda that it is wrong to steal America's powers by killing her because she is still a child.]]

* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:The innate[[note]]People like [[Series/Loki2021 TVA agents]] can travel anywhere in the multiverse, but they need a [=TemPad=]. Without it, they're stuck.[[/note]] ability to create portals to any reality in the Multiverse is something not even the Scarlet Witch is capable of without the Darkhold (and even then, she can only Dreamwalk instead of physically being there), and considering the MCU's new saga revolves around the newly-opened Multiverse, America's powers become even more groundbreaking. So of course, she can only activate them [[DieOrFly in life-or-death situations]] until the end of ''Multiverse of Madness''.]]
* SuperStrength: America's power to cast interdimensional star-shaped portals grant her superhuman strength that is tremendous enough [[spoiler:to shatter polycarbonate glass.]]

* UnskilledButStrong: America's powers are not to be trifled with, but she has yet to gain the full discipline of controlling them, [[spoiler:which is why she chooses to train with the Masters of the Mystic Arts in Kamar-Taj by the end of ''Multiverse of Madness''. She does kind of find it irritating that she's having difficulty making portals the old-fashioned Mystic Arts way when she's already shown only one punch is what she needs with her powers]].

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: In the climax of ''Multiverse of Madness'', America believes that [[spoiler:Strange will take her powers since she can't properly use them, and she seems to be accepting it as an inevitability. Instead, Strange gives her a pep talk about how she has a better grasp of her powers than she thinks, pointing out that in all her previous uses of her multiversal portal ability, she's been able to pick the right universe. This allows America to gain the confidence and the courage she needs to figth the Scarlet Witch.]]
* YouRemindMeOfX: [[spoiler:America's impatience while training to become a Master of the Mystic Arts reminds Wong of the time when Stephen Strange first arrived in Kamar-Taj.]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: She wears a Pride flag pin on her jacket, and was raised by two mothers. In the comics, America Chavez is a lesbian. Whether she's a lesbian in the MCU isn't directly addressed.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:Wanda]] states that America is a "supernatural being" and is an anomaly of the Multiverse itself, implying she merely ''appears'' as a human (much like Asgardians).
%%* BigEater: America explains that her stomach is different than that of normal humans, which allows her to eat more pizzas than anyone else.

* GenderLift: From male in the comics to female (albeit [[AmbiguousGender ambiguously so]]) here.

* ThinkingUpPortals: With mastery of the Sling Ring, any practitioner of the Mystic Arts can conjure a spinning portal made of sparks to go virtually anywhere on Earth, or elsewhere for that matter. [[spoiler:This proves instrumental in ''[[Film/AvengersEndgame Avengers: Endgame]]'', as the sorcerers allow all members/armies aligned with the Avengers to [[JustForPun assemble]] from numerous points on Earth, as well as different planets, allowing them to reach the battlefield at the same place and time]]. Though the Sling Rings are unique to them, the type of portal they summon is not, since Robbie Reyes can conjure one as well by spinning his chain in a wide circular motion.

-->'''Pizza Poppa:''' Pizza Poppa always gets paid!.\\

'''Pizza Poppa:''' Relax yourself "Doctor Strange".\\

* TookALevelInCynic: After he learns that the Ancient One drew powers from the Dark Dimension which is against the rules of Kamar Taj. He immediately loses his respect for his mentor and Kamar-Taj which gets worse when Stephen also breaks the rules by manipulating time with the Eye of Agamotto to save the world from Dormammu. He left the Sect to rid of all the sorcerers who also left Kamar Taj starting with disabling Pangborn's mobility which is cruel.

!!''Master Karl Amadeus Mordo''

* BaldHeadOfToughness: A powerful sorceress who has not a hair in her head.

* BadassBaritone: He has an impressively deep voice, and is a sufficiently skilled Master of the Mystic Arts that he's trusted to protect New York's Sanctum Sanctorum.

* OneSteveLimit: Karl Mordo has a similar first name to Karl Malus from ''Series/JessicaJones2015'', as well as Carl Creel from ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', an incidental Carl who was the male hostage in the season 1 finale of ''Series/ThePunisher'', and also Luke Cage, since his real name is Carl Lucas.

A teenage girl with the power to open star-shaped portals to travel throughout the Multiverse. She has two mothers, both of whom were her biological parents, thanks to the magic of their home dimension, the Utopian Parallel.
