The only prep Strange had for Shuma, was that he had just run through all of Shuma's minions and chomped their power. And it was still nothing compared to Shuma-Gorath. Strange outright jacked all of Shuma's power and ended up having to nuke his own soul in order to beat him.
And Strange was still learning the biz when Loki beat his ass. Strange at his height was almost unbeatable in magic.
Strange is formidable even without divine support. He has several schools of magic non-reliant on deities.

Doom should win this in a stomp.
Superman's got obvious, exploitable weaknesses...
Doom is like Luthor with more brains, knowledge, physical and technological competence, arcane knowledge and resolve.
there's no way Doom would not be prepared for Superman, his normal armour/suit is good enough to analyse Superman whilst protecting Doom from much of Superman's onslaught, given Doom enough time to figure out a way to destroy Superman.
I've never seen Gladiator break the Crimson Bands. And... magic?
Funny. I haven't seen Superman take out a foe armored and protected by Doom in a split second. Like. Ever.

Supes has faced magical people and beaten them before. I mean he has faced etrigan and faced a magic punch that knocked him to china and was unaffected. So magic doesn't mean insta-lose for him. He'd be able to speedblitz Doom easily.

I wouldn't say Doom is smarter than Lex, certainly not when it comes to strategic/tactical planning. Doom is more powerful, and technological he's more equipped overall, but generally Luthor is a better strategist and tactician he just doesn't get to make Galactus power-stealing-equipment and other dues ex machina devices. Lex is also more resourceful imo, makes more with less.

Technologically, given what he's been written to create, but when it comes to tactics and strategy? Doom isn't as good as Lex. As I said Doom and guys like Reed have the obvious edge in science, building and creating more exotic devices, Lex's constructions are less grandiose, but he beats Doom in the strategy department and resourcefulness.
