—Doctor Strange^[src]

Doctor Strange is a Mystic Champion. Being a Mystic Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Cosmic Champions, but is weak to Science Champions.

Bio[]

Neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange's success caused him to hit rock bottom when he lost his hands in a car accident. But the Ancient One elevated him to new heights, as Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme! He is the Master of the Mystic Arts, with powerful magic spells at his command. But forget the Flames of the Faltime, the Cloak of Levitation, the eye of Agamotto — behind all that is a tenacious warrior dedicated to defending the Earth against the darkest mystical adversaries!

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

Doctor Strange's access to an Armor Up Buff allows him to counter champions like Havok and provide more defense.
His Signature Ability allows him to automatically nullify buffs and deal damage back. As such, champs like Venom, Thor, Sersi, and Odin are some of his best matchups

Weaknesses[]

Doctor Strange's buffs can be nullified or prevented altogether by other Mystics.
Petrify effects from many Science champions can stop and reverse Dr Strange's power gain

Trivia[]

Doctor Strange is based off of Stephen Strange from Earth-616.
Doctor Strange Inspired the Adult Swim Character Dr. Orpheus
Beginning with Doctor Strange #177 back in February of 1969, Dr. Strange donned a more traditional superhero mask. It certainly did not suit the character, and didn't quite work for audiences either. It was quickly scrapped.
Dr Strange is usually referred to as the "Sorcerer Supreme", although he lost his title of Sorcerer Supreme multiple times in the past.
