Evidently , in this macrocosm , it was Maria Rambeau ( Lashana Lynch ) and not Carol Danvers ( Brie Larson ) who was exposed to the force of the Tesseract to become one of the most hefty superhumans on the planet . On this globe , Rambeau holds the deed of " Defender of the Cosmos . "
Though Captain Marvel isone of the best fighters on the Illuminati council , she does n’t seem to bank on her intellect as much as the others . She arrogantly take for granted that the power of the organization will be able to hold back the Scarlet Witch ( Elizabeth Olsen ) , shrug off any suggestions of the opposite being dead on target . In the end , though she lasts longer than many of her acquaintance in battle , it was her smugness in the face of on-key adversity that brought about Rambeau ’s untimely decease .

The Earth-838 variant of Mordo , however , is Strange ’s replacement , dish as the sorcerers ' embassador to the Illuminati .
While Mordo is the only member of the Illuminati to escape expiry at the paw of the Scarlet Witch , he does n’t incisively do so through his slyness . Rather , he bring off to be goaded into hire the engrossed Doctor Strange in handwriting - to - hand fight , which allow his captive to escape and go on Mordo out of the more important fight occurring down the hall . Despite 838 ’s Mordo surviving the events ofMultiverse of Madness , Strange likely does n’t have much to worry about in condition of his possible retaliation .
Doctor Strange
The Doctor Strange of Earth-838 was a member of the council of the Illuminati in his reality who , when faced with the terror of the Mad Titan Thanos , search to the texts of the Darkhold to battle the impending Decimation . Upon learning of their associate ’s compromise , the Illuminati chose to have Black Bolt execute Strange with a lethal sentence .
This variant maynot be the most powerful version of Doctor Strange seen thus far , but he did show a degree of raw intellect as he calculated the survival of the universe . While he may have indeed been very intelligent , 838 - Strange lacked the right perspective to use his brain , sacrificing morality for logical system – a decision which would cost him his life , and , by propagation , the lives of his friend .

In this universe , Captain Carter plain was also part of an Avengers card , as Mordo introduces her as " The First Avenger . "
away from one outburst wherein she throws her shield at the captive Strange to make an entrance , Captain Carter demonstrates a levelheadedness that the other member do n’t necessarily possess when it descend to treat with Wanda , Strange , and America ’s comer on their world . She strategically endeavors to discontinue the scourge of the Scarlet Witch , compensating for her want of cosmic power with a corking signified of strategy – though this would n’t be enough to stop the mad mutation .
Charles Xavier
Sir Patrick Stewart returns to once again portray the iconic Omega - level mutant Professor Charles Xavier . On Earth-838 , Xavier come out to not only be the leader of the X - Men , but also the chairman of the Illuminati . His big businessman is in his mind , as he possess both telekinesis and telepathy , both of which help him greatly in his superheroic attempt .
Xavier , like most other variant of the fictional character that audiences are familiar with , seems to be a well - trust and respected appendage of the group , whose tranquil conduct and strategic decision make him a desirable drawing card among other expectant personalities . In the ending , Xavier ’s powerful brain very nearly bring an end to Wanda ’s rampage , though his compassion for a woman in pain was used against him to end his life history .

Richards is the drawing card of the Fantastic Four and the head of the Baxter Foundation , wherein the Illuminati had its chamber . Not only that , but the brilliant scientist possess the ability to stretch his body to abysmal lengths , greatly assisting him in his superhero life history .
Despite very limited screen time , the film makes it a full point to establish Krasinski ’s Ivor Armstrong Richards as the genius that he is . Mordo insert him as the smartest piece on the planet , even when compared to other brilliant minds like Professor Xavier himself . While attempting to negotiate with Wanda after she had begun her rampage might not have been the best track of action , Reed remain the most intelligent phallus of the Illuminati until his death . fan can only desire that Earth-616 ’s version of Mister Fantastic endure a bit longer than the one introduced inMultiverse of Madness .
