I guess Strange just can't stay cool under pressure, like when Elektra had a sai at his throat, and he nonchalantly turned it into a bread-stick.

Because someone placing their hand over your mouth is more dampening than having the Silver-****ing-Surfer barrelling down at your ass faster than the speed of sound.

Getting hit on the head must be too much for the person that's survived attacks from the Juggernaut and the Hulk unshielded. Or for the person that's taken shots that knocked the Surfer out.

I guess it takes more effort to cast a non-verbal spell to take out a single attacker than it does to encapture the friggin UNI-POWER. Because, he does that without a word, and nary a gesture.

It's not like Doc strange could just...you know, astrally project when knocked out, as he's done on countless occasions, including when he SHOT HIMSELF.

It's not as if Doc Strange has been called the most powerful Humanoid in existence. Nor was it ever said that his power was upsetting the multiverse. By none other than Eternity...

Clearly, ripping apart and rebuilding the moon isn't a very impressive feat. Nor is collapsing dimensions. Nor is reversing time on a micro or macro scale just for the hell of it, with nary a gesture.

I mean, someone who has been shown creating life itself could EASILY get taken out by a thug's backhand.

Creating a black hole, punking the Surfer mentally (something even Moondragon couldn't do), transmuting ANYTHING to...well..ANYTHING. Making people vanish from existence. Disintegrating the absorbing man (when even ODIN had to BFR him). Rebuilding and repairing every planet in the entire universe. Wiping the minds of every human on the planet. Mind****ing an entire dimension of demons. The guy that has taken over dimensions, and absorbed all the magic out of a planet. The guy that has had himself decapitated and suffered no ill effects.

Yes..the guy that has been described as universe-shaking mutliverse-upsetting...

THIS is who we want to fight god damned ninjas.

If it is canon, then they've surly depowered him by a whole hell of a lot. Still a great story, though.

I don't know, the writer said it was a “parallel universe gone wrong” during a CBR interview.


Not sure where, I think http://goodcomics.comicbookresource...ia-review-3307/ I believe.

Took a while to get back to. Dr Strange is NOT invincible. He doesn't have super reflexes and can be caught off guard

Here's an example of him fighting against two enhanced humans. There are granted super strength and don't feel pain. Still shouldn't be much of a problem for the good doctor right?

One of the big draws for Strange is his ability to cast spells so quickly. Anytime he's caught off guard is PIS. Here are those famous magical defenses unable to erect a defense in time to stop a spoken spell

Again him unable to cast a spell in time. Good thing that cloak was there

And one more for good measure

And lets not forget his uncanny ability to strike anything cause he's "magic". In this one DS is dodged rather effortlessly, granted he is only taken down by Hitler's gun.

Dr Strange is there for more than just back up. He's fulfilling the role that Tony Stark usually filled on classic Avengers, providing a place to stay and transportation. They have his sactum as their headquarters plus his spells to carry them around.

And anyone who really knows about Dr Strange nows that he's not all powerful. Sure h'e s done some crazy s*** before, but overall even he's shown to have some sort of limitations. An example is that t eleportation consecutively(especially short distances) has been shown to be exhausting.
