Oh, good point.
I was thinking purely in terms of relative magic to relative magic, conceptually. But Kent does edge in the physical department, with little difficulty, despite Strange's moderate martial arts skills/training.
That would make a good arguement for edging in favor of Fate: 6/10.
Anyone want to provide the 6/10 counter-arguement for Strange...?

I figured Classic Fate, walked in Pre-Crisis Superman stats (no amp needed).
IDK If strange starts pulling out his old obscure darker magics I'd say it swings in his favor. Strange has always had a higher nuke capacity than Fate IMO but he doesn't use it. CIS is what stops Strange from winning this. IF he goes all out and uses his full capacity as Sorceror Supreme he takes it and I mean turning reality into playdo level magics.

actually his body is made of energy. most of the time physical attacks dont work.
Are you sure we are talking about Fate, and not Nabu?
I thought I read, that Nabu is pure energy. While Kents body is virtually indestructible, and superhuman while it serves Nabu as its host.
I could be entirely wrong, I am just getting into reading Dr. Fate.

Classic Doctor Strange, easily.
Uhhh... no, sweetie...
You're displaying considerable ignorance in that assessment.
They are both relatively equal.
The real question, as indicated by the majority of above answers, really boils down to giving an arguement for how the general split between them can be swayed to 6/10 in one or the other's favor, which a couple posters have already provided.
Do some proper research, then come back and give a more sensible arguement for why Strange would get the 6/10 (though certainly *not* a slam, under any conventional circumstances).
If Strange starts channeling Dr. Fate energy against himself like he did with Shuma its over. But I think CIS prevents that as last time Shuma nearly possesed him because of it. But yeah CIS off that would take care of Fate and most people pretty quick when you combine that with the other abilities and forces he has available to him. But with CIS on I stick by my statement Dr. Fate wins by a slight margin.
