Star City (Dimension-6144)

**Star City**, formerly **Starling City**, is a major city in Washington, United States. It was founded in approximately 1877. It is home to several important locations and businesses such as the Sanctum Sanctorum and the Vegan Diner. Despite being a thriving metropolis, Star City was rife with poverty, crime, and corruption. It is known to have had a population of almost 576,000 people, though this number has presumably fluctuated following several terrorist attacks on the city.

## History

### Ancient Times

#### Place of Power

Thousands of years in the past, the mighty sorcerer Agamotto erected a sanctuary in a place of power where New York would have arisen, in order to create a mystical shield around the globe. He then left the sanctuary in the custody of his disciples.

### The Good Doctor

Years later, in 2010, as Stephen Strange drove high speeds through the city, Strange received a phone call from another colleague, Billy, who informed him of three potential surgeries that he could perform. He is dismissive of the first two cases, but takes interest in the third, looking at his phone to examine the patient's X-rays. Taking his eyes off the road, Strange collided with another car he had tried to overtake and spun out of control, careening off a cliff and crashing into the river below. The doctor was badly injured in the wreck and nearly drowned, but was rescued and taken to the same hospital he worked at, Metro-General.

Strange underwent eleven hours of surgery, which ended up saving his life. However, he had suffered massive nerve damage in his hands, dooming his future as a neurosurgeon. Despite surviving the crash and his colleagues' attempts at comforting him, Strange became cold and bitter as he recovered, lashing out at everyone around him and falling into a deep depression.

Stephen Strange's recovery continued, but his depression and anger worsened. Having given up hope on any kind of modern medical treatment, he instead sought out a former patient named Jonathan Pangborn, who had made a seemingly miraculous recovery from injuries that had been deemed "untreatable." Confronted at a local basketball court, Pangborn tells Strange of a place called Kamar-Taj, where had been healed by a mysterious figure known as the Ancient One. Desperate, Strange spends the last of his money on a trip to Nepal.

Sometime later in life, Strange would meet Aaron Gomez, better known as the superhero Captain T, who would later become one of Strange's closest friends and allies.

### The Defenders

In the year 2025, the multiverse would be cracked open by the death of the Cosmic Train. This would thrust Strange into a leader position that he did not want. He found himself being the ringleader to a group of heroes he had worked with previously, the Defenders, of Earth Prime. Eventually, through Strange's help, the Defenders were able to close the Multiverse, but not without consequence. While Trump and Magneto were learning what had happened to their friend Batman, Strange and the rest of the Defenders fought a group of villains known as Joker's Crazy Kooks in the Star City park. The heroes were triumphant in their fight, but not all the news was good, as the Multiverse had closed during the fight, the remaining Defenders were stuck in New Earth. Strange, upon realizing this, ran back to the Sanctum to inform Magneto and Trump about this revelation.

Magneto was confused and wanted answers, but Strange told him that if he wanted answers, then he was going to have to explain what he saw in the House of Ideas. Magneto then gave Strange a rundown of everything that went on while he was in the House of Ideas, and from that, Strange was able to explain to Magneto why he would not be able to return to his home dimension.

After this explanation, Strange got a phone call from Captain T, who explained that there was some sort of multiverse beast attacking a part of the city, and he needed some backup. Strange told Captain T that Magneto was available, and told him to come to the Sanctorum. Strange explained this to Magneto, and then informed him that he would have to leave, as he had several heroes in the park who he would have to tell that the multiverse was now closed. When Strange got to the park, he explained to the heroes their current situation. Some where mad, others didn't really care. He informed all of them that he would help relocate them as soon as possible.

As Strange spoke to the Defenders, Magneto and Captain T ran to fight the beast. They rushed out of the Sanctorum and found the monster, and very quickly realized they were unprepared for the fight. They tried to hide, but the creature continued to track them down. Captain T asked Magneto if he knew of anywhere to hide within the city, but Magneto had no clue of any place to hide. That's when Captain T had an idea. He told Magneto that Trump might know, and they needed to get Strange to the Sanctorum. Magneto got to the Sanctorum, as Captain T distracted the beast and found Strange. Soon, Strange appeared in the Sanctorum and asked Magneto what he needed, and Magneto explained that he needed Trump. Strange portaled Trump into the room, and then left. Captain T showed back up, and the three discussed where to hide. Trump then explained that in the week he was stuck in New Earth, he bought a penthouse. Magneto and Captain T questioned this, but not for too long, as they hijacked a car and made their way to the penthouse.

When they arrived, they were greeted with the wonderous things of Trump's Penthouse, such as the dead manatee in his pool. They trio had a lengthy argument over whether it was still alive, but the conversation continued to shift as they went over one room, and saw the rest of Trump's purchases, which included a raptor statue, a six-monitor gaming setup, and an ultrawide television. They also saw Trump's bedroom, which had even more oddities. He another large TV, two soda machines, and a floating barrel of nuclear waste. When asked about these purchases, Trump explained he just signed checks for them all. Captain T explained that doing that was technically forgery, since he is not the Trump of New Earth.

The trio began to devise a plan, which consisted of two versions, Plan A and Plan B. Plan A was simple, Magneto and Trump would attack from afar, and Captain T would turn himself into metal, and beat the beast to death. Before the left, Trump checked on his manatee, and saw that it's flippers were still moving. Not wanting to believe that the manatee could be alive, Magneto left the penthouse with Captain T. The three of them entered the car they stole, and found the monster again. Captain T began to hit the monster, but it did nothing. Plan A failed as soon as it began, and Plan B had to be put into effect. Captain T told his friends to stay back and work on distracting the beast. As they did this, they saw a large green figure leap into the sky. The figure began to run towards the monster from afar, and almost ran into Trump as it ran. The green figure got the beast and began to rip it apart, and eventually absorbed it's energy, killing it. The green monster faded away and turned back into Captain T, who explained that he was taking the form of an Avenger named the Hulk. Trump told everyone he was going to go and continue his lunch with Gobby, and Magneto wasn't sure where to go from there. Captain T asked Magneto if Strange had explained the New Defenders to him yet, to which Magneto explained he had not heard of them. Feeling awkward, Captain T portaled away, and left Magneto in the road.

### The Infinity War

About a month or so later, Strange portaled home, to see he had left his TV on. On the TV, played a Daily Bugle report about an attack in New York. This attack was caused by none other than the mad titan, Thanos. He had come to Earth to retrieve the infinity stones. Strange, who knew this day would come, began to assemble every team in New Earth. He gathered up the Avengers, X-Men, and Defenders. Once he brought them all to the Sanctorum, he gave them all a run down on what was going on, and how they would be helping. He informed each team that they would be going out and finding every stone before Thanos could. Once he sent them all on their way, Captain T entered the room and asked Strange how he would be helping. Strange told him that once the X-Men bring back the Space Stone, Captain T would use his powers to destroy it. Strange then called Amanda Waller, and asked her to form Task Force X to go and save Gobby from the Chituari army.

Later in the day, the X-Men portaled back from Central City, to tell Strange they couldn't find the stone. Strange was disappointed, but told them they should head to New York and help fight the rest of the Chituari army. They agreed and went back through the portal. As Strange sat in disappointment, he heard noises outside, and ran to the window. Outside, he saw a taxi cab, driving around the streets, smashing into things, and eventually crashing. From the taxi, Deadpool and Donald Trump stepped out and looked at the crashed cab. Strange yelled down to them, asking where they had been. Deadpool explained and told Strange they had found the Space Stone. Strange, excited, invited them inside the Sanctorum.

Once inside, Captain T used his nexus powers to destroy the Space Stone, which was met with much joy. As Strange congratulated Captain T, Deadpool asked what Strange wanted him and Trump to do now. Strange explained that he knew Thanos would be on his way soon, and that Deadpool and Trump should leave the city and get somewhere safe. As they left, Strange continued to tell Captain T how proud he was of him, and that their chances of winning had gone up.

Not too long after this, Magneto and Egger came back from Mysterio's house, and has gained the Reality Stone. Strange was very glad to see this, and brought the stone over to himself. Unbeknownst to Magneto and Egger, Strange portaled the stone to Captain T, who he had instructed to take the stone and leave the planet with. Strange then told Magneto and Egger that they had a pretty decent chance at winning now, to which Magneto asked what their chances were before. Strange explained that he had peered into the future, and saw over 16 million outcomes, and when asked how many they won, Strange knew the answer was zero, but lied and told them that they won several hundreds. They all then made their way to the park, where the Defenders were waiting for Strange. When they arrived, Strange prepped the Defenders on the fight they were about to partake in.

Just then, Thanos' ship arrived, and beamed Thanos down. Thanos taunted the Defenders, telling them that he was informed to go easy on them. Thanos clenched his fist, which prompted the Defenders to begin fighting. Strange and Magneto began to hover, but Thanos sent out a power stone wave, which knocked Strange to the ground. While Thanos was distracted by Gru, Cumlord asked Strange what the plan was. Strange told him to "get that arm", to which Cumlord nodded and began to fight Thanos. Thanos swatted Cumlord away, and struck the ground, sending Gru, Gloo and Krabs to go flying into the air. Strange opened up portals below them, which caught their fall and sent them into a pool of water. After defeating Egger, Strange latched onto the Infinity Gauntlet, using cosmic ropes. While he was restrained, Strange called to Magneto, asking where Egger and the Darksaber were. Strange was informed that Egger was knocked out, and the Darksaber had been tossed away. Thanos would eventually get out of the cosmic ropes, by yanking Strange forward, sending him flying into a car.

Near the end of the fight, Captain T flew in, and began to beat Thanos, getting the upper hand by using telekensis to keep Thanos suspeneded in the air. Captain T called to Strange, asking what to do. Strange told him to take the gauntlet off, but by the time Captain T went to do it, Thanos used the Soul Stone to knock Captain T out. Thanos walked over to Captain T's body and took the Reality Stone out of his pocket. This angered Strange, since he had told Captain T to take the stone off the planet. Thanos walked over to Strange to collect the Time Stone, to which Strange explained that it wouldn't matter if he got it, since they had already destroyed the Space Stone. Thanos didn't care and stole the Time Stone from Strange. As Thanos looked at his almost complete gauntlet, he was hit by a beam of energy from Australian Vision's stone. Australian Vision flew towards Thanos and teleported away from him.

Minutes later, Thanos would complete his goal, and erase half of all life in the universe. The Defenders, unaware what happened, began to reconvene. Cumlord asked what happened, to which Strange explained he wasn't sure, and that he wasn't prepared for this. Just then, members of the Defenders began to fade away, being erased from existence. Right before Strange himself disappeared, he told Magneto that there was no way they could have won. Five days later, the remaining Defenders talk about ways to fix what Thanos did, mentioning that nobody in the group is able to build a time machine. Magneto, feeling stressed, goes outside to get a quick breath, when he is met with another superhero, The Flash. Barry explains that he has been traveling from dimension to dimension, timeline to timeline, looking for this exact moment, so he can help bring everybody back from the dead. Barry tells Magneto about his plan for going back in time and stopping Thanos from getting any of the stones. Before Magneto can tell him yes, Barry sends the two back in time.

### A Doomed Future

At an unknown point in the future, some sort of event occurs in Star City, which causes mass destruction and hysteria throughout the city. For unknown reasons, Walter White finds himself in the midst of the chaos. A fatally injured Heisenberg crawls to a wall, where he holds his bleeding side, while the chaos around him continues.
