Here are 5 facts to prepare you for what’s to come:

1) Pain, loss, and ego drove Stephen Strange from an early age. What started as a genuine desire to help people became a driving need to earn wealth and prestige, both of which led to the death of his brother after an argument.

2) The Dr. isn’t honorary. Strange was once a brilliant neurosurgeon, but a car accident damaged the nerves in his hands and left him unable to perform surgery. Instead of using his skills as a mentor or consultant, Strange’s ego and vanity drove him to seek out a cure. He ultimately discovered The Ancient One and a magical power unlike anything he’d ever seen.

3) Strange learned that Baron Mordo, the Ancient One’s star pupil, was seeking to wrest power for himself and Strange, now understanding that The Ancient One was a force for good, selflessly devoted himself to protecting him.

4) Seeing Strange’s change of heart and dedication, The Ancient One trained him to become both the Master of the Mystic Arts and the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth –– unseating Mordo and earning himself a deadly enemy at the same time.

5) The rumors of Dr. Strange making an appearance in The Avengers: Infinity War may be more than just rumors, especially when you consider the idea that Strange’s mystical amulet, known as The Eye of Agamotto, may contain the Time Stone. Just putting that out there:
