** It's also not just Essex - Strange later addresses the fact that other things can disrupt his Sight, including Chaos Magic. He explicitly tells Ron that chaos magic tends to do exactly what he doesn't want or expect the moment he takes his eye off it, usually ''exactly'' when he takes his eye off it. For instance, he raised Wanda for 15 years, but for him it was about 60 as he had to keep looping to properly keep an eye on her and head off problems. Likewise, he had absolutely no intention for Hermione's mutant powers to manifest as traumatically as they did, or what happened in the Fortress as a whole, pointing out that a) so much could have gone wrong, b) all else aside, she is the daughter of his former apprentice and foster-daughter. He absolutely did not want that.

The question speaks for itself, it’s been bugging me a lot for a while now, why is Essex and seemingly only Essex a blindspot to Strange’s sight despite Strange doing everything he can to find him? I can’t remember if it’s been addressed

** In ''Ghosts'' chapter 15, Strange addresses this: "You (Sinister) credited your own cleverness, but that was a mistake, a mistake born of arrogance, for you were only ever a piece; a senior piece, but a piece nevertheless, in a war far greater than you could ever imagine. No matter. I am not sure whether I detect the hand of The First One in this, or that of The Conqueror..." In other words, someone very bad (either Apocalypse or Kang, most likely), put a protection on Essex that allowed him to slip past Strange. There's a couple bits where Strange mentions that he fights enemies in a time war; one of his enemies used Sinister, and thus Maddie, against him.

At this point after all the weird stuff that's been going on with gods openly messing in it left ''and'' right, it's hardly worth the piece of firmament it's written on. And will we see them enforce it?
** I believe it was stated that the non-interference clause was only meant to be for a millennium, until humanity could stand up on its own. It was passed around 1000 CE, so it's run its course by now.

[[folder: Why Hogwarts for Alan's kids?]]
So, Alan Scott has a couple of kids attending Hogwarts. Fine, so far, so good. But he was said to have been killed in the Battle of New York, implying that he was living there at the time-he was retired, after all, and besides, he was an Agent of SHIELD, not [=MI13=]. Shouldn't his kids be at Ilvermony?

* Loki states when he teleports them over that he could do so because he'd placed tracking signals on each of their equipment in case of kidnap, so he's got a basis to work a teleportation spell. The implication is that Tony wouldn't let him do the same/has his own arrangement of tracking signals - which, considering Tony's reputation for paranoia, isn't entirely unsurprising.

[[folder: Forgot About His Powers?]]
In chapter 59, Tony mentions that because of phone signal and wi-fi being down, he can't have JARVIS summon an Iron Man suit. But ''earlier in that same chapter,'' Loki teleports Nat's, Clint's, and Steve's equipment to them. So why can't Loki just teleport an Iron Man suit over?
