Dr. Stephen Strange’s origin story as Doctor Strange in the movie is strikingly similar to that in the comics.

Doctor Strange was created in 1963 which is the same year Lamborghini was founded, but the car he crashed in the comics looks more like an Aston Martin than a 1960’s Lamborghini.

Kamar-Taj is a remote community in the Himalayan mountains in or near Tibet.

Yao the Ancient One is hundreds of years old and was born in Kamar-Taj.

Mordo was from Transylvania in the comics and also attempted to gain power from Dormammu.

Very much unlike the Doctor Strange movie Kaecilius was a disciple of Mordo in the comics.

Wong was a servant of the Sorcerer Supreme which means he became Doctor Strange’s servant in the comics.

Dormammu from Doctor Strange is highly similar to Alioth from Loki.

Doctor Strange’s amulet, the Eye of Agamotto, never held an Infinity Stone in the comics but was also known as the All-Seeing Eye of Infinity.

Doctor Strange’s Cloak of Levitation was a gift given to him by the Ancient One after prevailing against Dormammu.

Chiwetel Ejiofor confirms he's returning to the MCU as Mordo for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
