History Characters / MCUMastersOfTheMysticArts

* OneSteveLimit: Karl Mordo has a similar first name to Karl Malus from ''Series/JessicaJones'', 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.

* AgeLift: In the comics, Mordo is older than Strange. Unless a case of HollywoodOld, Mordo is younger than Strange in this adaptation.

* CombatHandFan: Her WeaponOfChoice is a [[DualWielding pair]] of ''tessen''-esque fans that she forms from magical energy.

* WeaponOfChoice: Whenever the Ancient One goes into battle, her projections appear [[CombatHandFan fan-like]]. Sure enough, during select scenes at Kamar-Taj, she's seen holding a traditional wooden fan.

* WeaponOfChoice: Mordo uses the Staff of the Living Tribunal, which he uses to (as most mystical artifacts do) channel excess magic into attacks.

* UncertainDoom: Though she arrives on Earth in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' with Hamir, Wong, Doctor Strange, and the various unnamed sorcerers, it is unknown whether or not she was KilledOffScreen by Thanos's finger snap. [[spoiler:''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' reveals that the Hong Kong Sanctum has a new master, which furthers invoking this trope.]]

* MadeOfIron: The fall she suffered would have killed a regular human, even without the stab wound. {{Justified|Trope}}, as she can not only [[MagicEnhancement reinforce her body with sorcery]] but also draws upon the powers of the Dark Dimension, which help ward off death.

!!''Master Hamir''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hamir.png]]
!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Citizenship:''' Nepalese

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TopoWresniwiro
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'' | ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' | ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness''

An elderly Master of the Mystic Arts of Kamar-Taj.

* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: Strange initially mistakes him as the Ancient One. He seems to have been placed there to intentionally force this since the real Ancient One then thanks him and he walks out.
* HandicappedBadass: He's missing his left hand, yet is still able to perform the magic the others can. This is used by the Ancient One to motivate Strange when he says he can't use magic because of his hands.
* MythologyGag: Hamir bears the Ancient One's traditional appearance in the comics, which leads to him being mistaken by Stephen Strange to be the Ancient One.
* OldMaster: One of the oldest Masters in Kamar-Taj.
* PortalDoor: After realizing the Avengers need them, Hamir and Wong, as well as various unnamed sorcerers arrive to fight Thanos's army.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Hamir is seen getting dragged into the Mirror Dimension by Wanda, but it is never clarified if he escapes it by the end of ''Multiverse of Madness''. The audio commentary reveals that he died.]]
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: He's Wong's father in the comics, but there's no sign of this relation in the films.

[[folder:Sara Wolfe]]
!!''Master Sara Wolfe''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sara_wolfe.jpg]]
!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Citizenship:''' American

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/SheilaAtim
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness''

A Master of the Mystic Arts who is present during Wanda's attack on Kamar-Taj.

* ActionGirl: She is willing to help her fellow sorcerers in protecting Kamar-Taj from the Scarlet Witch.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Slowly and agonisingly reduced to a charred shell by the unleashed power of the Darkhold.
* HeroicSacrifice: Willingly dies to destroy the Darkhold.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Wong in ''Multiverse of Madness.'' Sam Raimi confirmed that there was a romance for Wong and Sara originally written, but those scenes were cut. There's still some palpable affection between the two of them in the very brief screentime they have together, such as Sara holding his chin as they share a HeldGaze, but it's all implied and understated.
* MoreExpendableThanYou: Won't allow Wong to destroy the Darkhold, since she knows the consequences, and makes sure to do it herself.
* RaceLift: Sara is a Cheyenne Native American in the comics. Here she is played by a Ugandan-British actress.
* SingleTear: One can be seen streaming down her charred corpse during her final moments.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite appearing in a single scene (and some crowd shots), Sara's actions demonstrate that the Darkhold ''can'' be destroyed, and rather easily at that. As a result, she derails Wanda's schemes for a bit and forces her to go to Mount Wundagore, setting up the stage for the climax.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: We only get a few scenes with her before she sacrifices herself to destroy the Darkhold.

%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' R'Vaalian

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/AdamHugill

A minotaur-like being who practices magic at Kamar-Taj.

* AdaptationalModesty: Rintrah is always depicted as a naked green minotaur in the comics. The film, however, will have him wearing clothes like the other Masters of the Mystic Arts.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He has green fur.
* ColdBloodedTorture: He's one of the sorcerers who get tortured by [[spoiler: Wanda]] to force Wong to reveal what he knows about the Darkhold in ''Multiverse of Madness''.
* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: Contrary to the classic image of minotaurs as unintelligent, axe-wielding monsters, Rintrah is a civilized being with a talent for the mystic arts.
* RememberTheNewGuy: No one seems surprised by the presence of a green minotaur among the Master of the Mystic Arts, even though he was nowhere to be seen seen during their previous appearances in ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.
* TokenNonHuman: As far as we know, he's the only Master of the Mystic Arts not to be human.
* VocalDissonance: He has a rather soft voice for a giant minotaur.

* CannotDream: She cites the fact that she doesn't dream as proof that she's unique in TheMultiverse, as dreams of other versions of oneself are actually glimpses of your alternate self's life.

* AncientArtifacts: Houses a number of these, such as the Eye of Agamotto.

* ChainPain: His main weapon, Staff of the Living Tribunal, is able to separate into a whip-like chain of magical energy.

* MagicStaff: His weapon of choice is the Staff of the Living Tribunal, a magical Relic able to split into a chain of magic energy.

* TelescopingStaff: Mordo's Staff of the Living Tribunal is able to extend into a chain of magical energy.

* TrickedOutShoes: His Vaulting Boots of Valtorr let him step and bounce on air.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' Nepalese

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/BenedictWong
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Víctor Manuel Espinoza (Latin-American Spanish dub), Santi Lorenz (European Spanish dub), Henri Carballido (French dub), Pierre-Étienne Rouillard (Canadian French dub), Miō Tanaka (Japanese dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'' | ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' | ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' | ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'' | ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' | ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' | ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw''

->''"While heroes like the Avengers protect the world from physical dangers, we sorcerers safeguard it against more mystical threats."''

A student of the Ancient One tasked with protecting Kamar-Taj's most valuable relics and books and training potential Sorcerers Supreme.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Wong consistently fails to find humor in Strange's jokes. But the BondOneLiner after defeating Kaecilius in the climax causes him to [[NotSoStoic burst out laughing]], earning him surprised looks from Strange and Mordo.
* AdaptationalBadass: Wong in the comics isn't exactly a weak bystander, but for many years was characterized as a [[EthnicMenialLabor manservant]] to Strange (later retellings changed it into a bodyguard). He's given more purpose and skill here, basically being Kamar-Taj's resident DrillSergeantNasty and (as the resident librarian) BadassBookworm. [[spoiler:As of ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', he's now ''the Sorcerer Supreme'', although Strange claims he only got the job on a technicality (i.e. the fact that Strange himself was unavailable due to being Blipped).]]
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the comics, he is Strange's servant and non-magical sidekick. In the MCU, they're both Masters of the Mystic Arcs and for that, equals and BashBrothers during their battles in ''Film/DoctorStrange'', ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame''. [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' reveals that Wong was promoted to Sorcerer Surpreme during the Blip, making him ranked ''over'' Doctor Strange.]]
** While in both comics and movies, Strange and Wong can be considered as friends, the MCU versions have a more rocky relationship and banter a lot.
* AdvertisedExtra: Similar to Captain Marvel and Okoye in ''Endgame'', Wong was featured in poster marketing for both ''Infinity War'' and ''Endgame'', indicating that he might be a major player in both films, even getting his own character poster. However, he only appears during the beginning of ''Infinity War'' as a GuestStarPartyMember, returning to the Sanctum after the fight with Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian, not to be seen again for the rest of the film, and at the end of ''Endgame'' during the Battle of Earth and Tony Stark's funeral.
* AffectionateNickname: "Wongers" by Madisynn which he doesn't seem too happy about.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: The two previous Sorcerers Supreme (The Ancient One and Stephen Strange) were Caucasians while Wong is Asian.
* AintTooProudToBeg: In ''Multiverse of Madness'', Wong tries to beg [[spoiler: Wanda]] to stop when she uses her powers to torture wizards in order to make him reveal everything he knows about the Darkhold.
-->'''Wong:''' [[spoiler: Wanda, stop! Wanda, please!]]
* TheAllSolvingHammer: During both of his appearances in ''She-Hulk: Attorney of Law'', Wong constantly suggests to Jen to send the people who cause them problem into the Mirror Dimension, no matter how many times she tries to tell him that this isn't a good idea.
* AlternateSelf: Wong has two alternate counterparts [[DeadAlternateCounterpart who are both dead]]. He also has a [[AmbiguousSituation third possible one]] [[NakedPeopleAreFunny who's running naked from a clown.]]
* AscendedExtra: A fairly innocuous character both in the source material, and in Phase 3 he only has a secondary role in his debut film and a minor role in both ''Infinity War'' and ''Endgame''. Phase 4 however makes Wong a much more prominent recurring character, with a surprise appearance in both ''Shang-Chi'' and ''No Way Home'', expanded role in ''Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness'', and a major secondary part in ''She-Hulk''.
* TheArchmage: [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' shows that he was made Sorcerer Supreme because of Stephen Strange being absent for five years during the Blip.]]
* BackForTheFinale: 'In 'Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', Wong played a signicant role in episodes 3 and 4, but stopped appearing afterwards. However, he eventually makes a brief return in TheStinger of the final episode to get Emil Blonsky out of jail.
* BackFromTheDead: At the end of ''Doctor Strange'', he is killed when Kaecilius destroys the Hong Kong Sanctum. Strange has to use the Eye of Agamotto in order to bring him back.
* BadassBaritone: He has a deep, gravelly voice that adds to his intimidating demeanor.
* BadassBookworm: He's a librarian and a very skilled sorcerer and combatant. [[spoiler:And all of this is before he becomes the new Sorcerer Supreme.]]
* BadassTeacher: He's one of Strange's mentors, and a badass to boot. [[spoiler:He becomes an even bigger badass teacher following his promotion to Sorcerer Supreme.]]
* BaldMystic: Was originally bald and is a Master of the Mystic Arts but grows his hair out in later films.
* BashBrothers: With Strange, since the two of them tend to work together in protecting New York after the death of the Ancient One.
* BigDamnHeroes: Doctor Strange and Wong's first on-screen words to each other in ''Endgame'' suggest that Wong coordinated the GondorCallsForAid moment of the Avengers' allies. Strange came with the Guardians, who would've told him about the Ravagers. Wong brought the sorcerers and instructed them to bring the Asgardians, Wakandans, and the returning Avengers who are in Wakanda, and possibly help bring the Ravagers. How Strange and Wong communicated across the galaxy isn't stated, but it may be similar to how Heimdall and Thor communicated in ''Ragnarok''.
** In ''Infinity War'', he also switched battles this way when he saved Banner and Stark from being killed by Cull Obsidian.
** Does this again during his first scene in ''Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness''. After Gargantos has knocked out Doctor Strange and managed to catch America Chavez with one of its tentacles, Wong unexpectedly shows up and uses an energy whip to release the young girl from its grip.
* BigNo: His reaction when Master Wolfe declares she's MoreExpendableThanYou and moves to attack the Darkhold, both of them knowing the [[TakenForGranite impending consequences she will suffer]].
* BladeOnARope: ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' shows Wong fighting Gargantos with swords attached to a magical rope. [[spoiler:He later uses another as a form of grappling hook on Mount Wundagore.]]
* BreakoutCharacter: For such a minor character in the comics, he's proven to be rather popular in the MCU; to the point where he was even involved in the official promo for ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. He's also appeared in more installments than Doctor Strange himself, and tends to pop up in places viewers would least expect him; including a fighting ring in ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', and gets involved with some legal matters in ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw''.
* TheCameo:
** Wong only shows up for one scene in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''.
** He also makes a brief appearance during TheStinger of the ''She-Hulk'' episode "Whose Show is This?".
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first ''Doctor Strange'' film, Wong is characterized as being rather stoic and unfriendly towards Strange, minus the part where he [[ActuallyPrettyFunny bursts into laughter]] upon hearing his BondOneLiner. His subsequent appearances give him a little more levity and friendliness overall, as he expresses HypocriticalHumor [[ItMakesSenseInContext regarding tuna melts]] in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', and inexplicably joins a fighting ring in ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', complaining that his opponent is hitting him too hard.
* BringIt: After successfully killing one of the demonic monsters on Wundagore Mountain, Wong confidently challenges the others, who respond by throwing rocks at him.
-->'''Wong:''' Come on!
* TheComicallySerious: He does not understand jokes. Or at the very least he has a very demanding sense of humor, as suggested later in the first ''Doctor Strange'' film.
* DeadlyDodging: In ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'', he gets punched by the Abomination, then returns the favor with weaponized portals.
-->'''Wong:''' That ''hurt,'' Emil! Want me to show you how it feels?
* DeadpanSnarker: Wong can be quite snarky when he is having specific conversations with Strange. Strange's first attempts at levity with Wong fall flat for this reason.
-->'''Doctor Strange:''' You know, people used to think that I was funny.\\
'''Wong:''' Did they work for you?
* DeusExitMachina: He is shown leaving the Sanctum Sanctorum to parts unknown fairly early in ''No Way Home'', as his more advanced expertise in magic compared to Strange would've likely averted much of the plot. Later invoked by Strange after the spell goes awry, as he ''really'' doesn't want Wong to find out how badly he and Peter screwed up.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While hanging on the side of Mount Wundagore, Wong manages to kill one of its demonic guardians with his bladed rope and challenges the others to come and get him. Then he remembers that he is still hanging on the side of the mountain and that the monsters can easily throw large rocks at him.
* DisneyDeath: He's thrown from the top of Mount Wundagore by [[spoiler:an enraged Wanda]] after he's [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]] but he survives by landing on a mountain ridge not far down from the Darkhold Castle.
* DrillSergeantNasty: He can be ''very'' tough on his students, [[SternTeacher though clearly cares about them]].
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Wong mentions in ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'' that he enjoys drinking gin and tonic. He also tried vodka with yak's milk at Tony Stark's wedding, but it apparently was so disgusting that he swore off ever drinking it again.
* DualWielding:
** ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' shows Wong using magic to conjure two swords into his hands.
** He also forms a magical Yuanyang Tomahawk in each of his hands to fight the winged demons in ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw''.
* DueToTheDead: He's one of the many people who pay their respects to the ultimate sacrifice made by [[spoiler:[[Characters/MCUIronMan Tony Stark]]]] by attending their funeral.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Wong was nearly bald when he was first introduced in ''[[Film/DoctorStrange2016 Doctor Strange]]'', but has gradually started to grow his hair out in every subsequent appearance. Notably, his hair growth notes where Wong becomes less stoic and more comedic.
* FightClubbing: He and the Abomination are the star attractions in Xu Xialing's fighting ring in ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings''.
* FireForgedFriends: Post-''Doctor Strange'', with Strange having become far more adept since that film, Wong's interactions with his former student are more or less of equals at least, having severely loosened up around him and the two pretty much behaving like close friends.
* ForcedToWatch: He assures [[spoiler:Wanda]] that even under the threat of an agonizing death, he will not reveal any information regarding the Darkhold. [[spoiler:She]] coerces the knowledge out of him by instead picking up several of his students and torturing them with magic.
* TheGlovesComeOff: Goes easy on the Abomination in their cage match until the Abomination punches him into a wall. He remarks that that really hurt, and he quickly wins the fight by opening a sling ring portal that causes the Abomination to knock himself out.
* GoForTheEye: During his fight against Gargantos, Wong tries to throw a magical blade at the demon's enormous eye, but Gargantos manages to protect himself with one of his tentacles. Fortunately, Strange is more successful shortly after.
* GoKartingWithBowser: ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'' reveals that Wong likes to spar with none other than the Abomination himself in an underground fighting club in Macau. After fighting and defeating him, he gives Blonsky some genuine tips on how to improve his fighting style as he's leading him back to his self-contained prison.
* GratuitousSpanish: He briefly speaks Spanish with America Chavez to make fun of Strange while the three are talking about the multiverse.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Wong serves this role for Iron Man's group in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. He helps to fight Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian when they attack New York in order to get the Time Stone, even managing to [[PortalCut cut off]] Obsidian's arm. Shortly after the fight is over, he returns to New York to protect the Sanctum as Strange has been captured, and he is not seen again for the rest of the film. He returns in ''Endgame'', [[spoiler:leading his own team of sorcerers for the FinalBattle.]]
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Due to Wong's refusal to let him borrow the books he's most interested in, Strange takes advantage of him listening to Music/{{Beyonce}} with headphones to take the books from the library through Sling Ring portals without him realizing it.
* HeroismWontPayTheBills: Since the Masters of the Mystic Arts do their work for the good of the universe and not for capital gain, Wong doesn't have a lot of money to his name. In ''Infinity War'', before Bruce Banner crashes through their roof at the New York Sanctum, Stephen and Wong are debating about going out and picking up sandwiches from the deli despite not having any disposable capital.
* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: He gets in some snarking about Strange in Spanish with America when they both realize he doesn't understand the language.
* HypocriticalHumor:
** During the scene reintroducing Doctor Strange and Wong at the start of ''Infinity War'', they are debating which of them is going to buy lunch. Wong doesn't carry currency on his person, justifying it by saying that attachment to material wealth comes at the expense of spiritual enlightenment. He then realizes that he ''does'' have some change on him, specifically 200 rupees or about $1.50 in US money. Strange relents and offers to pay, upon which Wong expresses a hankering for a tuna melt.
** During ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', Wong intends to prosecute Donny Blaze for abusing the mystical abilities of a Sling Ring as part of his magic act, noting that his usage of cosmic energy for self-serving and petty reasons could spell disastrous consequences. And yet, Wong has no problem with sending Donny to the ''Mirror Dimension'' just to torment him, even if doing so may possibly kill him.
* IDoNotWantToKnow: When he sees [[spoiler:Stephen Dreamwalking in Defender Strange's corpse]]:
-->'''Wong:''' I don't even want to know!
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He suffers this on a piece of debris before Strange's rewind of time outside the Hong Kong Sanctum restores him to life.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Sara Wolfe in ''Multiverse of Madness.'' Sam Raimi confirmed that there was a romance for Wong and Sara originally written, but those scenes were cut. There's still some palpable affection between the two of them in the very brief screentime they have together, such as Sara holding his chin as they share a HeldGaze, but it's all implied and understated.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be rather gruff and sarcastic, but he’s still a good-hearted hero. In ''No Way Home'', he loses his bluster when he sees Strange is willing to help Peter out of the goodness of his heart and agrees that Peter has been through enough, allowing Strange to perform the spell while he looks the other way. In ''Multiverse of Madness'', he quickly bonds with America Chavez and does everything possible to protect her from [[spoiler:Scarlet Witch]].
* KaraokeBondingScene: During the end credits of ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', he goes out to a karaoke bar with Shang-Chi and Katy, singing [[Music/{{Eagles}} Hotel California]].
* KickedUpstairs: [[spoiler:Because Strange had blipped for five years, Wong had to take over the duties and responsibilities of the Sorcerer Supreme.]]
* KilledOffscreen: Wong is found dead by Stephen and Mordo when they enter the destroyed Hong Kong Sanctum. Thanks to the Eye of Agamotto's time reversal, it doesn't last.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia:
** Apparently, Doctor Strange used the amnesia spell to make Wong forget about a full moon party that was held at Kamar-Taj at some point.
** Along with the rest of the world, Wong forgets [[spoiler:about Peter Parker due to Strange's spell in the climax of ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''.]]
* MagicLibrarian: He's basically Kamar-Taj's resident librarian. It's listed as "work experience" on his social media profiles, before "Sorcerer Supreme" and after "Target Sales Associate".
* MagicWand: The weapon Wong uses at the climax of ''Doctor Strange'' is the Wand of Watoomb, a classic Doctor Strange artifact, albeit a bit larger than usual.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: After finding out that his former student Donny Blaze is using real magic during his stage shows, Wong goes to see Jennifer Walters and tells her that he wants to sue him to demonstrate what happens to people who mess around with magic.
-->'''Wong:''' I need to make an example of Donny Blaze. Set a precedent that no unlicensed persons ever attempt to practice the Mystic Arts again.
* MomentKiller: In the ''She-Hulk'' episode "Is This Not Real Magic?", Wong teleports to Jen's house to ask for her help just as she was about to kiss her date, much to her disappointment.
* MrExposition: Being the librarian of Kamar-Taj and later the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong has a lot of knowledge about everything related to magic and is often the one who has to explain everything to Doctor Strange or other characters.
** After Stephen Strange was caught fooling around with the Eye of Agamotto in ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'', Wong gives him a lengthy lecture on the purpose of the Master of the Mystic Arts, the line of Sorcerers Supreme, the function of the Sanctums, and finally the threat posed by Dormammu and the Dark Dimension.
** At the beginning of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', Wong explains the origins and powers of the six Infinity Stones to Bruce Banner and Tony Stark.
** When Wong is forced to take [[spoiler: Wanda]] to Mount Wundagore in ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', he tells her about the demon Chthon and how his spells were transcribed into the Darkhold.
* MyCard: Wong magically conjures his business card to give it to Jennifer Walters during their meeting in the episode "Is This Not Real Magic?".
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Wong's fight club sessions with Emil Blonsky end up being exposed to the public in ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', which complicates the titular character's attempts to represent him in court. It also comes to bite Wong in the ass personally as he's forced to testify in front of a parole board to explain his actions, which involves confessing to a crime.
* NoodleIncident: ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'' reveals that Wong apparently worked as a Target Sales Associate in Nepal for nine years sometime before or in-between his time being a Kamar-Taj librarian and Master of the New York Sanctum. Of course, no other details on it are provided.
* NoSenseOfHumor: In the first film, Wong never laughes at any of Stephen Strange's jokes, much to his dismay. Or at least, not until the ending.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite Wong putting up a stoic and serious persona when in front of people for the most part, it's not too difficult to get him to engage in some funny moments.
** In regards to Stephen's remarks about modern music, as he's seen listening to Music/{{Beyonce}}'s "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" while working, seeming somewhat fascinated and/or confused with the song [[FunnyBackgroundEvent as Strange is stealing books from behind him]]. He also laughs heartily at one of Strange's one-liners at the end of the film, which understandably surprises Strange, given he'd been trying to get him to laugh the entire film and had failed miserably.
** In ''Infinity War'', when Stark and Strange get into a [[SnarkToSnarkCombat snark-off]] and the topic of Ben & Jerry's making an Iron Man-flavored ice cream is brought up, he interjects that he prefers the flavor they made to honor the Hulk. Likewise, in their first scene, when Strange offers to spot Wong (because the very few rupees he has only amount to $1.50) at the deli, he eagerly asks for a tuna melt. Before that, the fact that Wong's searching for whatever cash he has is effectively him backpedaling after Strange snarks at his ascetic attitude towards having money.
** [[spoiler:After having a very serious conversation with Shang-Chi, Katy, Captain Marvel, and Bruce Banner about the origin and power of the Ten Rings, Wong joins Shang-Chi and Katy in a karaoke session, loudly belting out "Hotel California" without a care in the world. He also clearly relishes in the crowd cheering him on after defeating the Abomination in an illegal fighting ring.]]
** In ''Multiverse of Madness'', he interrupts a conversation about the titular Multiverse between him, Strange, and Chavez in order to confirm that his recurring nightmare of him [[RealDreamsAreWeirder running away from a clown while naked]] means that there's a universe out there where that's perpetually happening.
** During Episode 4 of ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', Wong ends up deciding to take legal action against Donny Blaze, a cheap magician who attempts to use a Sling Ring as part of his act. He does this partially because he has the potential to bring supernatural consequences to Earth, and because he ends up teleporting Maddisyn, a drunken party girl to his place who proceeds to spoil parts of ''Series/TheSopranos'' to him. Guess which part of that is the RageBreakingPoint?
** Later on in said episode, Wong ends up inviting Maddisyn to his place in Kamar-Taj, and they ends up discussing their favorite drinks together while watching TV and eating popcorn. He's clearly enjoying himself in the moment.
* NoSympathy: Downplayed. When Peter Parker enters that Sanctum Sanctorum in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', Wong briefly expresses annoyance with his unexpected intrusion, and mildly grouses at Peter's inability to keep his identity a secret. He does at least allow Strange to cast a memory-wiping spell, so long as he's kept out of the action.
* NotSoStoic:
** He's obviously mildly panicking after Strange uses the Eye of Agamotto without realizing its dangers.
** [[spoiler:In ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', Wong is even ''more'' frightened when he learns that Wanda Maximoff is the Scarlet Witch, and intends to stage an assault on Kamar-Taj.]] He's also incredibly unnerved when he sees Doctor Strange possessing Defender Strange's rotting corpse, and outright exclaims that he doesn't want to know about how its happening.
* NotWearingPantsDream: Mentions a dream where he was naked and got chased by [[MonsterClown a clown]], and wonders if this has actually happened in another universe.
* NumberTwo: He's the Ancient One's second-in-command, alongside Mordo.
* OddFriendship:
** In ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'', Wong is shown to have become good friends with his fighting partner Emil Blonsky, a.k.a. The Abomination, of all people. ''She-Hulk: Attorney at Law'' shows that while the two of them were really only fighting to help Wong become Sorcerer Supreme, Wong does care enough for Emil to defend him in court for his actions.
** In ''She-Hulk: Attorney at Law'' a party girl named Madisynn is transported to his chamber in Kamar-Taj. He's initially frustrated by her, especially when she spoils ''Series/TheSopranos'' for him, but by the end of the episode they're hanging out watching TV together.
* OhCrap: Wong's subtle reaction (combined with a bit of ThisIsGoingToSuck) at knowing that the Scarlet Witch is actually real rather than a myth.
* {{Omniglot}}: Wong is fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Sanskrit, and Spanish.
* OnlyOneName:
** He is only ever addressed as Wong and it's unclear if that's his given name or surname. Lampshaded by Strange, who teases him about this by bringing up other famous people that only go by one name.
-->'''Doctor Strange:''' And you are?\\
'''Wong:''' Wong.\\
'''Doctor Strange:''' Wong. Just Wong? Like... Music/{{Adele}}? Or Creator/{{Aristotle}}? Music/{{Drake}}? [[Music/{{U2}} Bono]]? Music/{{Eminem}}?
** ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'' reveals that it evidently is just "Wong". That is what is on his social media profile, and what he testifies in court under oath as.
* OptOut: At the beginning of ''No Way Home'', he asks Strange to leave him out of any proceedings with Spider-Man instead of taking an opinion on what should be done regarding [[spoiler:his revealed identity]].
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:In ''Multiverse of Madness'', Wong helps Strange in protecting America Chavez from Wanda Maximoff. Later on, he willingly reveals the history of the destroyed Darkhold to Wanda to prevent her from continuously torturing his students for information.]]
* PetTheDog: At the end of ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', Wong risks getting himself arrested by portaling into Emil's cell to once again offer the man sanctuary at Kamar-Taj. He graciously accepts it.
* PopculturalOsmosisFailure: To help break the tension created by Wong's stoic demeanor, Strange keeps making quips comparing him to other "one name" celebrities like Music/{{Adele}} or Music/{{Eminem}} only to be met with stony indifference. Strange reaches the point of exasperation when Wong doesn't even react to Music/{{Beyonce}}. Less than a minute later, Wong is shown listening to "Single Ladies" on his [=MP3=] player, and looks somewhat confused at what he's hearring. By the time of ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', he's started to watch American TV shows such as ''Series/TheSopranos'' and ''Series/ThisIsUs'' in his spare time, and is invested enough in them to the point where he gets upset when an uninvited guest spoils parts of the former show for him.
* PortalCut: He gets rid of Cull Obsidian by sending him through a magic portal to Antarctica. When TheBrute tries to reach back to him, Wong closes the portal, severing Cull Obsidian's arm in the process.
* RingOfPower: Like many other Master of the Mystic Arts, he has a Sling Ring that allows him to open an inter-dimensional portal to almost anywhere.
* PragmaticHero: When it seems like there are truly no other options to [[spoiler:stop Wanda]] and with several entire universes at risk of annihilation, he urges Strange to [[spoiler:take America's powers (and life) in spite of the bond they both formed with her.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: The color of Wong's robe is primarily purple, and he becomes the new Sorcerer Supreme [[spoiler:after Strange got temporarily dusted by Thanos]].
* RefugeInAudacity: Wong explains in ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'' that he essentially kidnapped the Abomination and forced him into their sparring matches at Macau as part of the process to officially claim the title of Sorcerer Supreme. After admitting all of this to Blonsky's parole board, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Wong promptly portals back to Kamar-Taj to avoid jail time.]]
* ReimaginingTheArtifact: Scott Derrickson went to great pains to try and modernize Wong and give him a less subservient role, as he felt Wong being Strange's [[EthnicMenialLabor Asian butler]] would come across as offensive and politically incorrect to modern viewers.
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: While Wong isn't ''completely'' cut off from the modern world, his grasp on it seems a tad off and tends to view things as a sorcerer rather than someone with dual-citizenship in America.
** In ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'', he owns an iPod that he listens too while he works, but he had never heard of internationally beloved music sensation Music/{{Beyonce}} despite him listening to "Single Ladies" in a later scene.
** In ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', he thinks that his mission to become Sorcerer Supreme exempts him from the legal ramifications of freeing the Abomination from a maximum-security prison (even temporarily), and that a verbal agreement is binding enough to legally bar someone from misusing the Mystic Arts.
* SavedByThePlatformBelow: [[spoiler:After Wanda blasts him, Wong falls from Wundagore Mountain, seemingly to his death. He is revealed a couple of scenes later to have landed on a narrow ledge and be none the worse for wear. He then proceeds to climb back up in time to help Strange for his final confrontation with Wanda.]]
* SayMyName: He gleefully yells out, "Strange!" and laughs when his friend arrives on Mount Wundagore in a BigDamnHeroes moment.
* ScaryLibrarian: He's a rather overbearing presence, at least at first, and a definite badass. Considering [[OffWithHisHead what happened to his predecessor]], it's likely deliberate on the Ancient One's part.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In ''She-Hulk'' he testifies to a parole board that he forced Emil Blonsky to break out of prison so he could fight Abomination. When the board informs him that doing so is a crime, Wong responds by portalling out of the hearing room and back to Kamar-Taj.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in one scene in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'' but he's the one who unintentionally gives Strange the idea of using the forgetting spell that kicks off the movie's main plot.
* SmokingBarrelBlowout: After he knocks out Abomination in the ring in ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'', he makes a FingerGun with the hand carrying his sling ring and blows it.
* SpitefulSpit: When [[spoiler: Wanda]] tries to interrogate him about his knowledge of the Darkhold, Wong spits on the ground before telling her that he'd rather die than reveal anything to her.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation:
** He does this several times in ''Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness''. In addition to often manifesting energy whips and chains, Wong also conjures a blade attached to a magic rope during his fight against Gargantos, and later creates two swords when he prepares to fight the demonic monsters in the Darkhold Castle.
** In ''She-Hulk: Attorney at Law'', Wong also conjures a pair of Yuanyang Tomahawk when he prepares to fight the winged demons accidentally summoned by Donny Blaze.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: In ''She-Hulk: Attorney at Law'', Wong suggests to Jen that he sends Emil Blonsky and Donny Blaze to the Mirror Dimension in both of their cases instead of taking them to a hearing. Jen shuts the idea down due to its legal ramifications.
* TheStoic: Most events don't seem to impact him much. This being said, see NotSoStoic.
* StopHittingYourself: In the Macau fighting ring, when fighting the Abomination, he opens two portals so the Abomination ends up punching into one portal and hitting himself exiting the other, knocking him out.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: He got promoted to Sorcerer Supreme over Doctor Strange, due to the latter being snapped out of existence for 5 years. Also not helping his case, Strange ignores Wong's warnings and tries to cast a spell that ends up jeopardizing the whole world. Despite being talented, Strange is still arrogant and inexperienced.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: The Technician to Strange's Performer. Strange has a flair for the creative and thinking outside the box. Wong is generally faster at preparing for battle and enacting spells, and has far more experience and knowledge.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: In ''Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'', whenever Wong gets to do something impressive, his little musical leitmotif fills the air.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Like most Masters of The Mystic Arts in the [=MCU=], he travels by creating portals with a Sling Ring. He even weaponizes it to make people [[StopHittingYourself punch themselves]] through small portals.
* ThirdPartyStopsAttack: When Doctor Strange flies towards the Darkhold Castle at the end of ''Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'', one of the demonic guards prepares to fire a magic blast at him. Fortunately, Wong stops it by throwing a magical dart through its head and then pulling it over the edge.
* ThisIsGoingToSuck:
** He has this reaction when Strange informs him that [[spoiler:Wanda Maximoff is the Scarlet Witch, and that she plans to attack Kamar-Taj if they don't yield America Chavez to her.]]
** Later on, he can only mutter, "uh oh..." when three of the beasts protecting Mount Wundagore leer down at him and begin picking up large rocks to throw at him after he kills one with a surprise attack.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: He lightens up more with each of his appearances. It seems that being around Stephen has made him more relaxed and open to the finer things in life.
* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: When he comes to testify at Emil Blonsky's trial, Wong insists on being called "Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme, Master of the Mystic Arts, leader and former librarian of Kamar-Taj".
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: He's Master Hamir's son in the comics, but there's no sign of this relation in the films.
* UnwillingSuspension: He's strung up by the wrists (with his feet additionally bound) in the burning ruins of Kamar-Taj after [[spoiler:Wanda's rampage.]]
* VictoryPose: To celebrate his triumph over Abomination in the fighting ring, Wong throws both his arms up and looks out to the crowd cheering his name.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Wong and Strange snark at each other endlessly, [[spoiler:even (or especially) after Wong becomes the Sorcerer Supreme]], but they're all but inseparable and very loyal to each other.
* WeakButSkilled: Even more than Strange. Wong isn't even as talented as Strange but he managed to take out the likes of [[TheBrute Cull Obsidian and Abomination]], who are much, ''much'' stronger and faster than him through his resourceful use of portals.
* WeaponizedTeleportation: Is quite adept at using his portals for attack and defense along with Strange, including working together at one point to send Ebony Maw's projectiles right back at him that way.
* WeaponsThatSuck: During the battle at the Mystic Castle, Wong turns his Sling Ring portal into a vortex to absorb all the demons accidentally summoned by Donny Blaze.
* WeaponTwirling: As the sorcerers arm themselves to defend the Hong-Kong Sanctum from the impending attack by Kaecillius and his Zealots, Wong spins the Wand of Watoomb in his hand while telling the others not to allow anyone to enter. Later, he does it again when he and Mordo prepare to face the Zealots while time is frozen.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In ''Infinity War'', Wong goes back to protect the Sanctum after Strange is kidnapped as Tony and Peter go after him. His fate as of the end of the film and the fingersnap was not shown on screen and wasn't revealed until [[Film/AvengersEndgame the sequel]]'s [=#AvengeTheFallen=] marketing campaign that confirmed his status as a survivor and he kept the New York Sanctum going while Strange was dusted. [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' elaborates that Wong has been elected as the new Sorcerer Supreme during Strange's absence.]]
* WhipItGood: Like Strange, he often uses magic to create energy whips during his fights, most notably when fighting Gargantos and during the battle against the winged demons at the Mystic Castle.
* WouldHitAGirl: Wong tries to cast some magical attacks against [[spoiler: Wanda Maximoff]] when she comes to Kamar-Taj, and later he entraps her in an energy prism with the Souls of the Damned during the final battle. Justified, since she has become a particularly dangerous enemy by that point.
* YouAreInCommandNow: After the Ancient One's death, he takes over as leader of Kamar-Taj, although he does not claim the mantle of the "Sorcerer Supreme". [[spoiler:''Spider-Man: No Way Home'' reveals that he eventually took the mantle during the five-year TimeSkip between the Snap and the Blip.]]
* YouAreNotReady: When the still-learning Stephen Strange comes to the Kamar-Taj library to ask for books on Astral Projection, Wong turns him down on the grounds that he's not ready for it yet.

->'''Kaecilius:''' Daniel, I see they made you the Master of this Sanctum.\\
'''Daniel Drumm:''' And you know what that means?\\
'''Kaecilius:''' That you will die protecting it.

The Master of New York's Sanctum Santorum.

* AllThereInTheManual: While he doesn't have much screen time in the film, he gets more characterization in the ''Doctor Strange Prelude'' comics.
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''aniel '''D'''rumm.
* 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.
* BaldMystic: He has a bald head and is a Master of the Mystic Arts.
* BaldOfAuthority: He's a bald black man and was the Master of the New York Sanctum Sanctorum before Stephen Strange.
* DeathByAdaptation: Averted. He lived to become the successor to Brother Voodoo (who was actually his literal brother) in the comics, then died in the comics too, but remained a recurring character after becoming a ghost.
* DeathByOriginStory: His death allows Stephen to become a Master of the Mystic Arts, as well as the Master of the Sanctum Sanctorum.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Kaecilius runs him through with a spear right in front of Strange.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: His stance on the Ancient One (and where he differs from Kaecilius), namely that her methods shouldn't be questioned if they're for the greater good of Earth.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: We get to know very little about him before he is stabbed to death by Kaecilius.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Kaecilius calls Drumm by his first name, and seems impressed that he was appointed Master of the New York Sanctum, implying that they were friendly before Kaecilius deserted. Obviously, that friendship is gone by the time of the film, as Drumm doesn't hesitate to fight Kaecilius, who shows him no mercy.

The Master of London's Sanctum Santorum.

* CanonForeigner: Notably the only Sanctum Master who has no comics counterpart. One possibility is that he's named after Rama Kaliph.
* InTheBack: Kaecillius throws a magic blade in his back while he was attempting to run away.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: We know very little about him before he's killed by Kaecilius in his second on-screen appearance.[[note]]His first is with other Masters (The Ancient One, Daniel Drumm, and Tina Minoru) in Kamar-Taj.[[/note]]

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/LindaLouiseDuan
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'' | ''Film/AvengersEndgame''

The Master of Hong Kong's Sanctum Santorum.

* ActionGirl: She is prepared to protect the Hong Kong Sanctum from the Zealots.
* AdaptationalHeroism: As a result of the ''Runaways'' Hulu show ignoring the films and using their own version of Tina, this Tina is a steadfast and true master of the mystic arts and is not notably evil.
* AdaptationalNationality: Japanese-American in the comics, Chinese here. The lack of an AdaptationalNameChange puts the character in an awkward position of being a ''Chinese'' character with a ''Japanese'' surname.
* AllThereInTheManual: Only appears in a very minor role in ''Doctor Strange'', but has a major appearance in the prelude comic alongside Kaecilius, Wong, and Daniel Drumm. It is in the comic in which she's identified as Tina Minoru.
* DecompositeCharacter: As a result of the creators of ''Series/Runaways2017'' not acknowledging Tina's role in ''Doctor Strange'' there are now two Tina Minorus in the MCU: the Master of the Mystic Arts and the [[Characters/MCUThePRIDE CEO of Wizard and member of PRIDE]]. It may be that as a result, this one retroactively isn't really named that.
* DemotedToExtra: As a result of most of her scenes being cut from ''Doctor Strange'' as well as ''Runaways'' disregarding the film as part of their Tina Minoru's background.
* PortalDoor: How she arrives on Earth in ''Avengers: Endgame'' to fight Thanos's army with the rest of the many unnamed sorcerers.
* PurpleIsPowerful: The color of her robe is primarily purple and she is the master of the Hong Kong Sanctum.
* SchrodingersCanon: Though she technically appears in ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'', ''Series/{{Runaways|2017}}'' co-creator Josh Schwartz said the series ''won't'' address the events of the film, nor will their Tina be established as being a current or former Master. [[spoiler:''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' shows that the Hong Kong Sanctum has a new master.]]
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only woman among the three Sanctum Masters.
* SoleSurvivor: By the end of the film, she's the only Sanctum Master who hasn't been killed by Kaecillius and the Zealots.
* UncertainDoom: Though she arrives on Earth in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' with Hamir, Wong, Doctor Strange, and the various unnamed sorcerers, it is unknown whether or not she was KilledOffScreen by Thanos's finger snap. [[spoiler:''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' reveals that the Hong Kong Sanctum has a new master, which furthers invoking this trope.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Along with Wong and Daniel Drumm, she was a friend and ally of Kaecilius in the ''Doctor Strange'' prelude comic before his FaceHeelTurn.

An elderly Master of the Mystic Arts of Kamar-Taj.

* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: Strange initially mistakes him as the Ancient One. He seems to have been placed there to intentionally force this since the real Ancient One then thanks him and he walks out.
* HandicappedBadass: He's missing his left hand, yet is still able to perform the magic the others can. This is used by the Ancient One to motivate Strange when he says he can't use magic because of his hands.
* MythologyGag: Hamir bears the Ancient One's traditional appearance in the comics, which leads to him being mistaken by Stephen Strange to be the Ancient One.
* OldMaster: One of the oldest Masters in Kamar-Taj.
* PortalDoor: After realizing the Avengers need them, Hamir and Wong, as well as various unnamed sorcerers arrive to fight Thanos's army.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Hamir is seen getting dragged into the Mirror Dimension by Wanda, but it is never clarified if he escapes it by the end of ''Multiverse of Madness''. The audio commentary reveals that he died.]]

A Master of the Mystic Arts who is present during Wanda's attack on Kamar-Taj.

* ActionGirl: She is willing to help her fellow sorcerers in protecting Kamar-Taj from the Scarlet Witch.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Slowly and agonisingly reduced to a charred shell by the unleashed power of the Darkhold.
* HeroicSacrifice: Willingly dies to destroy the Darkhold.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Wong in ''Multiverse of Madness.'' Sam Raimi confirmed that there was a romance for Wong and Sara originally written, but those scenes were cut. There's still some palpable affection between the two of them in the very brief screentime they have together, such as Sara holding his chin as they share a HeldGaze, but it's all implied and understated.
* MoreExpendableThanYou: Won't allow Wong to destroy the Darkhold, since she knows the consequences, and makes sure to do it herself.
* RaceLift: Sara is a Cheyenne Native American in the comics. Here she is played by a Ugandan-British actress.
* SingleTear: One can be seen streaming down her charred corpse during her final moments.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite appearing in a single scene (and some crowd shots), Sara's actions demonstrate that the Darkhold ''can'' be destroyed, and rather easily at that. As a result, she derails Wanda's schemes for a bit and forces her to go to Mount Wundagore, setting up the stage for the climax.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: We only get a few scenes with her before she sacrifices herself to destroy the Darkhold.

A minotaur-like being who practices magic at Kamar-Taj.
----
* AdaptationalModesty: Rintrah is always depicted as a naked green minotaur in the comics. The film, however, will have him wearing clothes like the other Masters of the Mystic Arts.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He has green fur.
* ColdBloodedTorture: He's one of the sorcerers who get tortured by [[spoiler: Wanda]] to force Wong to reveal what he knows about the Darkhold in ''Multiverse of Madness''.
* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: Contrary to the classic image of minotaurs as unintelligent, axe-wielding monsters, Rintrah is a civilized being with a talent for the mystic arts.
* RememberTheNewGuy: No one seems surprised by the presence of a green minotaur among the Master of the Mystic Arts, even though he was nowhere to be seen seen during their previous appearances in ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.
* TokenNonHuman: As far as we know, he's the only Master of the Mystic Arts not to be human.
* VocalDissonance: He has a rather soft voice for a giant minotaur.
[[/folder]]

-->See [[Characters/MCUDoctorStrange his own page]]

* PowerRing: Like many other Master of the Mystic Arts, he has a Sling Ring that allows him to open an inter-dimensional portal to almost anywhere.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in one scene in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'' but he's the one who unintentionally gives strange the idea of using the forgetting spell that kicks off the movie's main plot.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Hamir is seen getting dragged into the Mirror Dimension by Wanda, but it is never clarified if he escapes it by the end of ''Multiverse of Madness''.]]

* AscendedExtra: A fairly innocuous character both in the source material, and in Phase 3 he only has a secondary role in his debut film and a minor role in ''Infinity War''. Phase 4 however makes Wong a much more prominent recurring character, with a surprise appearance in ''Shang-chi'', expanded role in ''Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness'', and a major secondary part in ''She-Hulk''.

* DualWielding: ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' shows Wong using magic to conjure two swords into his hands.

* GratuitousSpanish: He briefly speaks Spanish with America Chavez to make fun of Strange while the three are talking about the multiverse.

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: He does this several times in ''Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness''. In addition to often manifesting energy whips and chains, Wong also conjures a blade attached to a magic rope during his fight against Gargantos, and later creates two swords when he prepares to fight the demonic monsters in the Darkhold Castle.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: We know very little about him before being killed by Kaecilius in his second on-screen appearance.[[note]]His first is with other Masters (The Ancient One, Daniel Drumm, and Tina Minoru) in Kamar-Taj.[[/note]]

* WeaponOfChoice: During the LockAndLoadMontage in the Hong Kong Sanctum, Wong takes a scepter that bears a striking resemblance to [[MythologyGag the Wand of Watoomb]], especially its rounded horned ends. During ''Multiverse of Madness'', Wong often uses a sword attached to a magical rope.

** During ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', Wong intends to prosecute Donny Blaze for abusing the mystical abilities of a Sling Ring as part of his magic act, noting that his usage of cosmic energy could spell disastrous consequences. And yet, Wong has no problem with sending Donny to the ''Mirror Dimension'' just to torment him, even if doing so may possibly kill him.

** In ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'', Wong is shown to have become good friends with his fighting partner Emil Blonsky, a.k.a. The Abomination, of all people.
** In ''She-Hluk: Attorney at Law'' a party girl named Madisynn is transported to his chamber in Kamar-Taj. He's initially frustrated by her, especially when she spoils ''Series/TheSopranos'' for him, but by the end of the episode they're hanging out watching TV together.
