NOTE: This story accommodates spoilers for Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity.
As a lifelong Marvel Comics reader, I usually get an enormous kick out of the post-credits sequences within the Marvel Cinematic Universe motion pictures. Marvel does a improbable job of teasing new characters and storylines, giving followers simply sufficient data to get excited and debate what may be coming subsequent to the flicks and TV. Thanos’ reveal in The Avengers made my theater erupt with comedian followers gasping over the potential of an Infinity Gauntlet story, and non-comic followers saying, “Who was that purple man?”
Because the film is over at this level, persons are freely chatting concerning the tease of notice because the credit roll, and I’ve had many conversations with strangers to fill them in on who a personality could also be or why a selected merchandise could also be of significance. It is an unexpectedly enjoyable a part of the Marvel film expertise.
The identical factor occurred after Physician Unusual and the Multiverse of Insanity‘ mid-credits sequence aired in my theater. I heard a bunch of individuals ask their mates and folks close to them who Charlize Theron’s character was. I too was a bit baffled. I had my suspicions, however Theron’s go well with did not lineup with the imaginative and prescient I had in my head. I assumed she could also be Clea or maybe a unique cosmic character that will tie into the following Guardians of the Galaxy or Captain Marvel film. It seems she’s enjoying Clea. It’s possible you’ll not know her now, however she’s going to turn into a family title if she ultimately takes over because the Sorcerer Supreme. Do not act shocked. Physician Unusual might be going to die. Like actually die. The Earth-616 model.
As a lot as we love the heroes within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all of them would seem to have brief expiration dates. Iron Man is gone. Black Widow is gone. Captain America is gone. And I hate to say it, however it will not be lengthy earlier than Thor, Hulk, Physician Unusual, and many of the characters from the primary 20 motion pictures are gone too.
These beloved heroes do not age (a lot) within the comics and may at all times revert again to their younger, unique kinds because of story developments. That is not the case with the MCU, and that is additionally what makes it sort of cool. We now have precise progress within the superhero world, whereas the comics usually undo it to ascertain new entry factors for readers.
So, sure, Clea will probably turn into the brand new “Unusual.” She at the moment holds this rank within the comedian guide world inside a brand new sequence merely titled Unusual. It is off to a improbable begin and is the results of the equally as wonderful The Dying of Physician Unusual story, the place he truly died. He’ll probably be resurrected inside a 12 months or two, however for now, we get to see what Clea can do with these powers. I strongly urge you to expire to your comedian guide store to select up this sequence’ first two points (the one two which are out as of this writing) to get acquainted along with her.
So who’s she? That is the place issues get sophisticated. Clea is an extra-dimensional power being and part of the Faltine race. She has robust household ties to the Darkish Dimension, and is the daughter of Umar (which makes her Dormammu’s niece). She will tackle a humanoid kind, however may also seem like a fireplace being. See under:
Clea is a talented magic consumer who can bounce between dimensions. She is believed to be near immortal and likewise has enhanced power. When in human kind, she ultimately research beneath Steven, falls in love with him, they wed, after which he dies…horribly. And that is the place we’re at now. She’s questing to deliver him again, however is not having a lot luck but.
Clea made her first comedian guide look in 1964 inside Marvel’s Unusual Tales #126. Created by Stan lee and Steve Ditko, she’s been out and in of comedian books for many years, however simply now appears to be taking maintain as a central determine inside Marvel’s principal continuity.
If I needed to guess, she’s going to turn into the brand new Sorcerer Supreme within the MCU inside the subsequent 4 to 5 years. I believe we’ll see their relationship develop within the subsequent Physician Unusual movie, after which he’ll probably die within the subsequent movie, which is able to give her the title and energy. There’s an opportunity they’re going to each stick round for some time – which might be superior – however as I identified, the heroes we love do not stick round lengthy. Brining in an incredible actor like Theron to tackle this function, tells me Marvel has massive plans for Clea.
Multiverse of Insanity‘ mid-credit scene is a bit goofy in its setup, as Physician Unusual would not assume twice about diving into one other dimension, however what it establishes is gargantuan for comedian followers, as one other nice character is now part of the MCU.
