Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange is a fictional superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Doctor Strange is a former neurosurgeon, a practicing sorcerer, and serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of
Earth against magical and mystical threats. Debuting in the Silver Age of comics, the character has featured in several self-titled series and Marvel-endorsed products including arcade and video games; animated
television series; a direct-to-
DVD film; and merchandise such as trading cards.
Powers and Abilities:
Magic: Dr. Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme of
Earth's Universe; he has unparalleled mastery of the mystic arts, which he uses to defend his reality from otherworldly threats; his primary magical patrons are a group of entities known as "the Vishanti." The Vishanti are a trinity of godly beings comprised of Agamotto, Hoggoth, and Oshtur. Although he has, on rare occasions, called upon the power of demons such as Dormammu; Strange more frequently did so before he realized Dormammu's true
dark nature in the earlier issues.
Doctor Strange is potentially the most powerful being on
Earth and one of the most powerful beings in the Universe. He has once stated that he can kill a mortal with the mere
twitch of a finger. Eternity, the sentience of the Marvel Universe, has described Strange as "more powerful by far than any of your fellow humanoids", narration has described him as "the mightiest magician in the cosmos", and the Stranger considers him on a level with cosmic entities.
