Without some serious prep Strange loses this one. The Phantom Stranger, depending on what origin story you believe, is either a form of the Spectre, an angel of heaven that remained neutral during The Rebellion, or any number of things. The only thing that is constant is that he is bad mojo to mess with.
Dr Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme, and thus has access to many spells and such. He even has access to beings such as the Vishanti etc etc etc (although recently it seems as if he has lost most of his contacts ....in DareDevil Visionaries he even said he had started to doubt his powers), but even in his prime the doc would have to really have Batman/Dr.Doom worth prep-time to have any chance against the Phantom Stranger.
And even then what would happen would be that the PS would just give the doc a sad look, with his blazing white eyes, and suddenly the Doc would be fish bait dangling from a lure held by a little boy fishing on the Mississippi.
End of story.
Strange would need Dr.Doom/Batman prep time to even stand a chance .....and even then .....well .....you do not send a magician against an instrument of a deity. And according to the way DC writes PS, THE Deity. PS is basically a more subtle form of the Spectre. Not as powerful, not nearly as flashy, but still bad mojo to mess with.
Strange loses.
And I love Strange.
Strange loses. But not easily. It also depends how Stranger was written. If Swamp Thing can give Phantom Stranger a run for his money back before he had the powers of parliament, Strange should be able to do a bit more.
Strange is one of the few beings who have knocked out Galactus.
Daredevil Visionaires?
You talking about the TPB reprints that came out in 01-02? The reprinted stories from 1996 or so when Strange was having problems with the Vishanti?
Or is it something else?
From all knowledge, Strange is back fully with all powers with no fear of losing them.
Strange could def. win a few with 10hr prep. Maybe the majority since Strange is better than Doom and Batman combined when it comes to prep.
