The sorcerer Supreme is a cosmically recognized position as one that prevents outside mystical influence that is generally damaging on a large scale some of which register on a universal scale. When these instances come up Strange tends to deliver in a big way even under his own power. But when he's fighting mobs/non-mysitcal/lesser threats he jobs like a ***** compared to his cosmic scale showings.
Yeah, I remember reading his books and it being easy to see that he was THE most powerful Marvel character with a book. There really was nobody that could have beaten him in some of his showings. And they weren't things that had to be recon'd or anything.
Just good writing. Writers that understood the character and had a good grasp of how the character could use the tools at his disposal to do incredible things.
Alas, those days are done. Enter the "Fanboy Age".
