	"With all due modesty, we are three of the most powerful people in the world. What could we possibly need you for?" Wow, what an asshole.

	Dr. Strange's dismissal of the Valkyrie seems odd - not quite how he's been portrayed so far. He is not that much of an asshole.

	Namor's earring brings out the worst in everyone. Strange is no exception.
