[ He wasn't really wanting to do something like this but since people keep comparing him to his... other self, he might as well clear this up on a larger scale.

He gets a sigh out before the video cuts on. He adjusts it to where he can address the camera directly but not in close-up. ]

I am Doctor Stephen Strange. I just arrived here a few days ago and I am aware that many of you already know of another Stephen Strange. Those of you I have met and have been here longer, at any rate.

I want to make this clear to people from here on: just approach me like someone you've never met. It doesn't matter if you know the other Strange here or have heard the name. I just got here. I have not lived his life, I have not done his deeds. Do not confuse me for him because I am not him.

I am sure all of you are well aware of the multiverse situation here so you know this is possible.

[ He does sigh through his nose now. He's kind of annoyed he has to do this at all. Before adding, ]

I hold a position at Riverview Hospital and am an Advisor at Gramarye Magic Research. If anyone needs help medically or... magically, I guess, I will do what I can. I just ask that my wishes be respected as well.

[ And with that, the feed ends. ]

You are Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, yes? Let me put it like this, in a room of magical potatoes you are a deliciously magical chocolate gateau, layered with complexities.

[ ..... ]

I'm starting to think you're just hungry.

And I'm not the Sorcerer Supreme. There's not "chocolate gateau" here.

[ikols]

Also hungry, yes.

If you're not, who is?

[potentialed]

There is none. The Sorceress Supreme was killed just before I was brought here. There has been no replacement appointed.

[ In a stage-whisper, ] Still think it might be you.

[ He can barely stop himself from rolling his eyes. ]

I doubt it. Especially at this stage.

[ikols]

Have you been to other Earths, yet?

[potentialed]

Just recently got used to visiting other dimensions. This is technically the first new world I've been to.

You're from the one with the Captain America who looks like a swimtrunks model, yes? I've been to your dimension. It was phenomenally underwhelming, so quiet.
