The first trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness introduced a green minotaur named Rintrah. And even at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home it was made clear that the Doctor Strange sequel would greatly expand the MCU, and indeed Rintrah’s arrival proves the future Marvel movies The future will become extremely interesting and mysterious. This hairy green Minotaur appeared in the Marvel comics in the 1980s-90s and will soon join the MCU in Doctor Strange 2.
So who is this character? What role this green minotaur plays in Doctor Strange 2 has so far not been revealed, but if Rintrah’s role is similar to that in the comics he will evolve to become a presence. important in Strange’s life.
Rintrah first appeared in Marvel’s comic book stories in 1986. Peter B. Gillis and Chris Warner created this furry green minotaur in an issue of Doctor Strange as a villain. Mysticism comes from another dimension.
Descending from a planet called R’Vaal, Rintrah was born with a great sensitivity to occult forces and later became an apprentice to a shaman known as Eniharmon the Weaver. On one occasion, Doctor Strange went to Eniharmon to ask the magician to restore the Cloak of Levitation when it was damaged in battle, after having repaired it, he asked Rintrah to return it to him. “Doctor Trang”, and that was also the first time these two characters met.
However, this first meeting did not go well, Rintrah discovered Strange was mortally wounded while fighting a demon sent by Urthona, an alien mystic from Strange’s own dimension. . Since his body could no longer fight, Strange asked Rintrah to allow her to “borrow” his body to continue fighting and stop Urthona’s demon.
Accordingly, they won together, and after Eniharmon finished training Rintrah to the best of his ability, the mage sent Rintrah back to Earth to continue her education under his guidance. led by Doctor Strange.
Strange then reluctantly agreed to let Rintrah become his apprentice, and together they went on many missions until Rintrah was mortally wounded in a battle against Tartessus. To save Rintrah, Strange had to use forbidden magic to send him into a safe place in another dimension to. Rintrah has also not appeared in the Marvel comics since then.
In the original comics, Rintrah is a witch with immense potential and can become as powerful as Doctor Strange and Eniharmon the Weaver. However, even in the original, we still don’t know the full extent of this character’s magical abilities, but what we do know about Rintrah are skills such as creating illusions, creating magical explosions, emanate spirit forms, shoot out rays of mystical energy, fly, use mystical energy shields, and travel through space.
Rintrah also has other abilities he didn’t learn from Eniharmon or Doctor Strange, including telepathy and the ability to transform. Due to her alien physiology, Rintrah possesses superhuman strength and endurance, especially in the muscles of her legs. His horns and hooves can be used as weapons, though he prefers not to use them as such.
Since his true form often scares people, being able to change form comes in handy while he’s on Earth. Rintrah can transform into any person he sees on the street or on TV.
Rintrah made a brief appearance in the first Doctor Strange 2 trailer, but it’s not clear what role he’ll play in a movie already filled with so many different characters and conflicts like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
After the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange must face the consequences of diving into the multiverse. Among the villains featured in the trailer, we can see the appearance of the evil version of Strange and Karl Mordo. Faced with such powerful enemies, it’s likely that Strange will feel a bit drained and have to turn to others like Wanda Maximoff for help.
Given the chaos of the multiverse, it is possible that Rintrah and Eniharmon the Weaver also sensed that the multiverse conflict would affect more of the Earth and tried to intervene, while the other powerful sorcerers in The universe might also help humanity to stop it.
Another possibility, of course, is that Rintrah was brought to Earth in the same way that so many other beings were brought by the chaos of the multiverse. Regardless of how exactly the two met, Rintrah will likely claim to be Strange’s apprentice at the end of Doctor Strange 2, just like he did in the comics.
