Dr Strange Vs Loki

I bring this up because a fall from the helicarrier KO'd Hulk and scared Thor. Neither of those falls were 30mins

In that same vein, we don't see what/where Loki was falling through for that time period. He might have been falling through a dimension where gravity works differently to Earth. If he hit Strange's floor at terminal velocity, he would have at least visibly damaged it, even if not damaging himself.

Good point. My initial response was going to be "magic floor" but that same argument could be used for the actual falling. 👆

Ok let's start simple: What's the fastest we've seen Dr. Strange open a portal? And I'm talking about a scene where we actually see him start to make a portal to when he completes it, so don't give me a feat of where the portal is already open without us seeing how he did it.

And then tell me how fast Loki makes illusions and throws knives.

P.S. - I'm not disputing that Strange is a more powerful magic user. I'm saying Loki's skills give him the advantage in a straight up fight.

Minute 2.

I counted 2-3 seconds... you?

Loki isnt Hela. He can summon knives...not create a rain of knives.

Considering that, Strange's Energy shields and whips plus his Reality Warping abilities 》》》》》》 Loki.

No.

Time Gem = Mind Gem.

But Strange is already > Loki when magic is concerned.

Not all the gems are equal. The time gem is far more powerful than the mind gem it seems. You can't die with the time gem. We saw Loki needed to make physical contact with a person to put them under his control.

I think you'e a bit off. From the moment Strange moves his hands to the moment the portal is set enough to step through, takes him 3-4 seconds. But fine, let's keep it at 3.

Loki in comparison makes illusions instantly as we've seen him do multiple times before. He can throw a dagger in a fraction of a second.

So if Strange takes 3 seconds to build a portal, that means he could be riddled with at least 3 daggers before he's through. That's not even taking into account Loki creating illusions all around him and all attacking him at the same time.

Strange can protect himself by creating shields, but he can't create portals while holding his shields.

3s then.

Thats assuming Strange is in close proximity to Loki.

Since the OP never stated it, starting distance is 100m.

How long does it take a dagger to reach its target?

Strange can fly and take distance from loki.

Isnt like he will fight him head on.

Strange has also fought several foes at a time. He should have trouble facing a couple of Loki's illusions.

Each gem represents an aspect of the universe.

None is above the other. Its just a matter of how you use them and for what.

Mind Gem=Time Gem.

I thought default starting distance was 100 ft and not 100 m? But ok, let's say 100m.

The velocity of a thrown knife is 60 kph, thrown by a professional human knife thrower. That's around 16 meters per second. Which means it will take around 6 seconds to cover 100m. But we also know that Loki is a lot stronger than a human. If he can double the speed of the thrown knife then the knife hits in 3 seconds. Pretty sure Loki is way stronger than just 2x human strength which means he should be able to speed that knife up more than just 2x normal speed.

And even if Strange gets his portal up before the knife hits, so what? If he creates the portal next to him he'll still need to push it the 100m towards Loki. If he tries to create it beside Loki then Loki can simply sidestep it. That's not even taking into consideration that Loki can just immediately create illusions of himself from the getgo so Strange won't know which Loki to hit.

Plus I have yet to see Strange fly AND create portals at the same time.

And what if Strange just makes another pocket dimension and locks him there like in Ragnarok?

He needs to catch Loki first. When he caught him in Ragnarok, Loki had no idea what was going on and it took a number of seconds for the portal to form around Loki's feet. Enough time that Loki could simply have stepped out of that circle.

In this scenario, not only will Strange need to catch a moving Loki with his portal, he will also need to do it while under attack from Loki and while trying to figure out which Loki is the real one among multiple illusions.

OP didnt stated Prep time. What amkes you think he wont react the same this time?

You dont know if he could actucally "step outside the circle".

Yes, there's no prep, which means Strange won't have the chance to prepare his portals in advance.

Loki won't act the same way because he knows his in a straight up fight and Strange won't have a chance to blindside him with a portal.

Unless you can prove that the circle has some form of force field around it, all we know is that it's a portal.

A portal transports you from one place to another.

Loki was locked in a pocket dimension which is different to a portal.

Unless you can prove he can get out everything else is but speculation.

Strange will hold Loki long enough to lock him in the Pocket Dimension.

Loki doesnt have any clear advantage over Strange.

How exactly will Strange hold Loki in place? He doesn't have telekinesis that I know of. Do you have any feats of Strange holding someone in place while he makes a portal?

Once Loki is in a pocket dimension I agree he can't get out. That's not what I'm arguing. I'm saying Dr. Strange is going to have hell of a time putting Loki in a pocket dimension in the first place, considering that Loki attacks far faster than Strange can make portals.

Eh, I'd have to disagree, at least going by what we've seen so far. The time gem can make it so you can't be killed. The mind gem....someone under its control can be removed from said control with just a sharp blow to the head.

Even in the comics the gems aren't all equal, with the power gem supposedly having the capacity to tap into any super power in existence if you use it correctly.

No. Isnt like one is above the other.

Isnt like they have a hierchy.

Each Gem has its purpose. Isnt like one is above the other.

In a combat however some Gems might result better than others.

Its a matter of what you need to do more thab which is more powerful.
