Marvel Confirms Which Hero Could Betray the Avengers in Doomsday
Doom Finds Wanda
VisionQuest’s second post-credits scene revisits Wanda Maximoff’s apparent death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. After she brings Mount Wundagore down on herself, Doctor Doom removes the rubble and commands her to awaken, saying he will claim the Scarlet Witch’s power.
The scene strongly suggests Wanda could be forced to serve Doom. It also adds weight to fan speculation that some of the masked Latverian Witches may be heroes who have turned against the Avengers.
Strange’s Possible Role
A detail in the scene has prompted speculation about Doctor Strange. He was the only character shown witnessing Wanda’s death; America Chavez and Wong had left through a portal before Wanda destroyed the Darkhold. That raises the possibility that Strange helped Doom locate her.
There are other possible explanations. Doom could have inferred the location from Mount Wundagore’s collapse, or America or Wong could have told him where Wanda was last seen. The scene does not establish that Strange is working with Doom.
Why Strange Might Cooperate
Strange has a responsibility to protect the multiverse from threats such as Doom. The article argues that his apparent failure to prevent Doom from reaching Wanda—or to move or destroy her body—could point to an alliance.
His motives remain unknown. He might believe cooperation would protect the multiverse, or Doom could have taken control of him with magic. Avengers: Doomsday would need to clarify what is behind Strange’s possible involvement.
A Greater Threat For Avengers
If Doom has both Strange and Wanda working for him, the Avengers could lose two powerful magic users while facing a stronger opponent. The article says their combined abilities could pose a threat on a scale capable of overwhelming the team.
The Avengers’ other magic users include Clea, America Chavez, Wong and Loki. They may not match the combined power of Doom, Strange and Wanda, and the article raises the possibility that some could also fall under Doom’s control.
Key points
- VisionQuest shows Doctor Doom uncovering Wanda and claiming her power.
- The scene raises, but does not confirm, the possibility that Doctor Strange helped Doom.
- Doom could also have found Wanda through other means, including evidence at Mount Wundagore.
- If Strange and Wanda serve Doom, the Avengers could face a major magical disadvantage.
