He struggled, he lost to the psionic/soul incarnation of Bruce/Hulk. This is something that would never have happened to Classic Strange and is just more evidence of his downward spiral of power. I think you're the one who missed the context and significance of that fight sir.
He got almost killed by Ghost Rider the last time they fought (though it really doesn't help that Strange was on his decline of power and Ghost Rider was being fast tracked to being Marvel's Spectre at the time). Let me see if I can scrounge up scans from that fight.
Nabu didn't throw the fight. He was sacrificing himself to not only keep the Spectre's attention solely on him so that RoE could be rebuilt but also so that he could push the Spectre into killing him and thus setting off Yahweh/The Source/Presence/etc. into finally deeming him a mad dog that needed to be reigned in. You should also note that in that fight, the proximity of them throwing down near Earth caused earthquakes and tidal waves.
Your point? Mordru actually took over the RoE when it was meant to devour and disperse his power and forced Shazam to futilely expend most of his power just prior to The Spectre's arrival.
Yes, Reed can be a great nuisance when given time and ingenuity to defeat foes. But the forum rules stipulate that PIS is never in effect so your use of Reed in this particular instance doesn't help your case.
Mordru has some pretty high end feats. Among Immortality, subverting and corrupting artifacts that were meant to leave him less than nothing and absorbing the magic of an entire universe to amp himself. Mordru could more than handle The Hulk and all but the higher end of Earth's Heroes. He has been ballparked as a Skyfather level being.
And? Superboy Prime was a Pre-Crisis Kryptonian. PC Kryptonians could pull off feats like sneezing away Galaxies, pushing entire planets barehanded and breaking into/making war on Heaven. The Void is not in that weight class and just because Superboy Prime resisted a single mystical blast of unknown potency means nothing in this lineup.
What are you talking about ? Lost to the psionic soul incarnation of Hulk/Bruce ? What are you describing and Sentry's first series was around ten years ago or so hardly around the time Strange's showings were so bad this myth of him being depowered started surfacing on the net.
When did they fight and what does that have to do with Strange of ten years ago ? I'd like an issue number.
If you want to die that means you are throwing the fight. His intent was to die to usher in the new magic age he never intended nor wanted to win.
Two skyfather beings causing tidal waves and earthquakes pale in comparison to wb hulk just taking footsteps and casuing the entire eastern seaboard to almost get 86'd.
My point is Mordru tricked him at an opportune time when he was distracted on the Spectre.
In my case he was given time which is the point. Given time both he and strange couldn't come up with anything to stop the Void. I am not arguing for reed only how formidable the Void is to be superior to two of earth's greatest minds with prep.
When Mordru absorbed the magic of an entire universe he still was beaten so forgive me wasn't all that impressive considering he was fighting alongside a superpowered team the entire time. Void fights teams by himself without amps and has never been defeated by anyone else save himself.
Prime isn't a precrsis k-nian so the feat doesn't apply to him since he's never done anything close to that. Void resists it and defeats him easier than the white witch.
