The Ancient One is the Sorcerer Supreme as well as the leader of the Masters of the Mystic Arts.
==Biography==
===Time Heist===
====Meeting Bruce Banner====
During the Battle of New York, the Ancient One was present in New York City, defending the New York Sanctum from the Chitauri. Suddenly, she was approached by Hulk who was looking for Doctor Strange, and she realized that Hulk arrived from another timeline. She informed Hulk that Stephen Strange was not yet a Master of the Mystic Arts, telling him that Strange was still currently performing a surgery at the Metro-General Hospital. As Hulk approached her, claiming that he needed the Time Stone which was encased in the Eye of Agamotto, the Ancient One said that it was not an option, since guarding the Stone was her duty.
Hulk insisted that he had no time for arguing, so the Ancient One proceeded to push Banner out of Hulk into his astral form so as to immobilize him, leading to Hulk becoming temporarily incapacitated without a guiding mind. As they conversed, Banner implored the Ancient One to give the Stone to him, notifying her of the Snap that Thanos caused in their timeline. The Ancient One refused, citing without the Stone in their timeline, they would be left unprotected from the dangers of the Multiverse. Banner claimed that once the Avengers are done undoing the Snap, they will return the Stone at the exact moment it was taken but the Ancient One reminded him that he needed to survive in order to return the stones.
The Ancient One proclaimed that the Masters of the Mystic Arts had sworn an oath to guard the Time Stone, only to be shocked when Banner inquired why Strange had willingly relinquished the Stone to Thanos. Realizing that Strange would only have given Thanos the Stone for a reason, the Ancient One decided to trust her future successor. She reunited Banner and the Hulk back into one being once more while entrusting Banner with the Time Stone, but not without a look of concern in her eyes over the possibility of the Time Stone not being returned. After they won, Captain America returned the Time Stone back to the Ancient One.
==Powers and Abilities==
===Powers===
*Magic: The Ancient One was skilled in many types of magic, which she used to both teach sorcerers and fight.
**Eldritch Magic: One type of magic that was used by the Ancient One was Eldritch Magic, which she used to create Tao Mandalas and weapons. She created fan-like weapons and threw them at the Chitauri that were flying near the New York Sanctum during the Battle of New York.
***Astral Projection: The Ancient One was able to push Hulk's astral form out of his physical form to make him less of a threat when explaining the timelines.
***Illusion Manipulation: Ancient One, while speaking with Bruce Banner's astral form, was able to create an illusory display of the Infinity Stones, conjuring up formations of fiery energy shaped into a line that stretched over multiple city blocks in order to visualize the timeline and the subsequent branches created by removing a stone from it. Both she and the incorporeal Banner were able to physically interact with this holographic illusion.
**Telekinesis: The Ancient One was able to influence objects and people with mere gestures, as seen when she moved the body of Hulk towards Bruce Banner's astral form to return it to his body. While using this ability, a golden mist appeared around the object she was influencing.
**Parachronal Cognition: The Ancient One had the ability to read the future, even from people she didn't know. In 2012, during the Battle of New York, when Bruce Banner met her to ask her to give him the Time Stone and asked her about Stephen Strange, she responded that she was aware that Strange would join them in five years despite never meeting him before their first meeting nor vice versa. However, her precognition was limited to her lifespan, as she was aware of neither the Snap nor the fact Strange would surrender the Time Stone to Thanos in order to gain eventual control over the outcome of the fight against the Mad Titan.
===Abilities===
*Genius-Level Intellect: The Ancient One is very knowledgeable of the Mystic Arts. She is able to use this knowledge to teach sorcerers the ways of magic. She also explained to Bruce Banner how dangerous it was to take an Infinity Stone out of its timeline.

==Equipment==
*Eye of Agamotto: As Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One guarded the Eye of Agamotto. She wore it as she battled Chitauri and talked to Hulk, ultimately deciding to give him the Time Stone housed inside.
