==Summary==
Stephen Strange, A.K.A Doctor Strange, is a primary protagonist in the Marvel vs. Capcom series. He was a gifted but egotistical surgeon until a car accident damaged his hands. Scouring the globe for a cure, he would instead find the mysterious Ancient One. Studying under the Ancient One's tutelage would lead Stephen to becoming the Earth's greatest sorcerer and hero, especially against all manner of magical threats. Having gained superior insight and knowledge through his studies and consultation with other heroes, Strange acts as an authority on all things related to the paranormal.
Throughout his path as the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange would aid in the battle against Galactus, and later join the resistance against Ultron-Sigma when the latter threatened the merged worlds of Marvel and Capcom.

*Astral Magic: Doctor Strange sends out his astral form, which ensnares the opponent in the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Once his astral form returns to his physical body, Strange concentrates his magic and summons several orbs that surround the restrained opponent.
