Determined to warn the Ancient One, Strange hurried back but was stopped by Mordo. Unable to act, Strange was helpless to act and witnessed the Ancient One easily disperse of Mordo's magical attack.

Spider-Man recognized one of them as his missing girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, Spider-Man followed the cultists into Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum where he and Wong fought them.

Doctor Strange was voiced by John Vernon.

When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
