Loki vs Strange ...now with both having full power.

Strange Tales #123
I don't think Strange was even Ancient One's aprentice yet.
Strange was just a kid with 2 spells.
The Mordo attack happend in it too.

isn't Loki buddies with the likes of Mephisto and Pluto... and all the other devil type gods?.... wouldn't they lend him some power to get rid of Strange? .... i mean they all must be pretty sick of a human kicking their assess

Thanks long pig.

Maybe friends. but Strange has already defeated Mephisto.

Loki can't invoke powers from other gods. He never has.

maybe not invoke..... but if he asks them nicely and tells them what it's for i bet they'd give him some power to get rid of Strange

Just because he hasn't doesn't mean he can't, unless it's been explicitly stated. And as I said before, it's not about power. It's about how the game is played. Strange has had his butt handed to him many a time, but he comes out on top because he finds a way out, not because he overpowers his opponents. A perfect example is the Faust Gambit arc. He'd never be able to take both Mephisto and Satannish at the same time, but he tricked them.

Strange wasn't invovled in magic at all until after he became the Ancient One's apprentice, so the fight with Loki took place after his trip East an all of that.

Strange was also beaten by Dormammu when he joined his past and future selves (which is a bunch of BS). Anyhow, Dormammu KILLED Strange, so it's possible for him to be defeated.

Now I'm not saying that Loki can do it or can't do it. Stange is by boy after all. I'm just saying that it won't be easy for either character.

When he faught Loki the first time, he just finds mordo in the same comic, Mordo is the reason why Strange became the A.O's diciple.
(Mordo was wanting to kill AO, Strange found out, tried to fight him, got beat and chained, AO released Strange and said he knew Mordo's plans, told Strange he saw pureness in him and makes him his new deciple)

He wasn't yet AO's deciple yet, and was only training with him.

Similarly, probably the reason we haven't seen him use the the power of other deities is because he can't. It'd seem weird if mystic beings did that... like Agamotto invoking the Flames of the Faltine (Dormammu) or Mephisto using a Vishanti spell.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with artifacts as well.
You can't call upon the Vishanti without the book, Strange has the only copy, and it was passed down to him from the Ancient one.

Like, if Odin were to fight Zeus, would he be able to use the Crimson Bands of Cytorrak or invoke the Flames of the Faltine? It'd just seem strange if he could - calling on the power of another deity, probably even a rival deity, would be unseemly.
