Doctor Strange (Classic)

## Summary

**Stephen Vincent Strange** is the Sorcerer Supreme of the Earth Dimension. Once a materialistic and greedy neurosurgeon, Strange's medical career was left in pieces after a debilitating car accident which severely damaged the nerves of his hands and made him unable to ever conduct an operation again. Consumed by his own pride and self-pity, he started conducting several medical procedures on himself, many of which highly experimental, in a desperate attempt to return to his former glory, which all gave off no significant results and ultimately exhausted all of Strange's fortune over the course of a few months, reducing him to nothing but a derelict roaming around New York's streets.

Eventually, Strange took notice of stories about a tibetan monk, going by the title of the Ancient One, which was rumoured to possess magical powers capable of healing any disease. Being desperate enough to try anything in order to heal his hands, he travelled to the Tibet and met up with the Ancient One in a palace sitting upon isolated, icy mountains, and although haughty and filled with skepticism at first, Strange's introduction to the world of the supernatural humbled his personality, and eventually sparkled him into becoming a disciple of the Ancient One, ultimately resulting in him taking up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme held by his master, and becoming Earth's primary defender against the supernatural forces which roam beyond normal reality.

Fought back against Borgo, a perfect clone of the Silver Surfer, redirecting his power cosmic back at him and briefly restraining him with the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Even when weakened and before becoming Sorcerer Supreme by absorbing the Ancient One's power, he was capable of fending off hordes of Mindless Ones, who are strong enough to endanger the Hulk). **Varies** between **Universe level** (Through an ancient ritual, Doctor Strange is capable of tapping into the lifeforce of others and wielding the power of elemental life itself, which is described as "an infinite totality beautiful beyond comprehension", enough to make the whole Universe tremble and shape its entirety), and **Low Complex Multiverse level** with Artifacts and Spells (Capable of channeling the power of, and summoning Cosmic Entities such as Lord Chaos and Master Order, having done so in order to overwhelm and imprison The In-Betweener, and can unite with Eternity himself, causing him to become “one-with-all” and feel in many more dimensions than four.

His invisible, automatic shields can protect him from Voltorg's atomic lightning, which was claimed by Yandroth to have the power to "hurl stars from their paths", only leaving him stunned due to the impact of the blast). **Varies** between **Universe level** and **Low Complex Multiverse level** with certain Artifacts and Spells (Capable of uniting his being with Eternity through the Eye of Agamotto, and vastly increase his magical abilities by merging with, or drawing power from beings as powerful as Arioch and Shuma-Gorath.
