“ I've been going about this all wrong. But so have you. Love. That's how you think you can hurt me? Love's not even in the job description for a Sorcerer Supreme. But you know what is? Pain. „

“ You seek to weaken my resolve with fear! But know that Dr. Strange understands fear-- and rules it! „
“ Evil cannot be undone Victoria. But I have had to journey to the depths of infinity and beyond to learn this lesson...that it can be healed. „

“ For, many can be the forms --- and many the faces of the man called Doctor Strange! „

“ You taught yourself to vanquish a foe who used your friends as weapons against you. And you did it without hurting any of them. You protected this realm even though it is no longer your duty. I know that you relinquished your role as Sorcerer Supreme because you thought you did not deserve it anymore. Yet you continued to act as hero to anyone and everyone. And you asked for nothing in return. And because of this I bequeath you once again the all-seeing Eye of Agamotto. For you are the SORCERER SUPREME once more. „
~ Ancient One

“ Believe in Stephen Strange. Believe in him until it hurts. And then believe some more. „
~ Wong

Summary

Stephen Vincent Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme of the Earth Dimension. Once a materialistic and greedy neurosurgeon, Strange's medical career was left in pieces after a debilitating car accident which severely damaged the nerves of his hands and made him unable to ever conduct an operation again. Consumed by his own pride and self-pity, he started conducting several medical procedures on himself, many of which highly experimental, in a desperate attempt to return to his former glory, which all gave off no significant results and ultimately exhausted all of Strange's fortune over the course of a few months, reducing him to nothing but a derelict roaming around New York's streets.

Eventually, Strange took notice of stories about a Tibetan monk, going by the title of the Ancient One, which was rumored to possess magical powers capable of healing any disease. Being desperate enough to try anything in order to heal his hands, he travelled to the Tibet and met up with the Ancient One in a palace sitting upon isolated, icy mountains, and although haughty and filled with skepticism at first, Strange's introduction to the world of the supernatural humbled his personality, and eventually sparkled him into becoming a disciple of the Ancient One, ultimately resulting in him taking up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme held by his master, and becoming Earth's primary defender against the supernatural forces which roam beyond normal reality.

Attack Potency: Varies. At least Large Planet level (Doctor Doom stated that Strange's magic powers exceeded that of his standard armor even when he'd increased his armor's power reserves tenfold[3]) to Outerverse level with magic (Fought evenly with Nightmare, and could break his attack spell even while only in his astral form. Nightmare also views him as an equal in power, with Strange stating himself to be Nightmare's equal. Held his own against Dormammu even before becoming Sorcerer Supreme, and forced Dormammu to exert a large deal of energy during their battle despite being inferior in power, and as Sorcerer Supreme his most powerful sorcery could dispel a whirlwind which significantly drained Dormammu's power through its use. While inferior, held his own against Zom, who is stronger than Umar at her peak, Dormammu at his peak, or Eternity. When enraged, easily overpowered the mystic warlord Tiboro (even stating that he could kill Tiboro whenever he wanted if he so wished) and was willing to take on Umar as well without issue, with Tiboro himself being portrayed as comparable to Umar and also being entirely unafraid of the Dweller in Darkness, who is comparable to Nightmare), higher with certain Artifacts and Spells (Capable of channeling the power of, and summoning Cosmic Entities such as Lord Chaos and Master Order, having done so in order to overwhelm and imprison The In-Betweener, and can unite with Eternity himself, causing him to become “one-with-all” and feel in many more dimensions than four. Could forcibly merge himself with the demon Arioch - who claimed to be "not even finite" and completely dwarfed Mephisto and Satannish in power and scope, rendering them akin to "mice in a great temple" - allowing him to fight evenly against Shuma-Gorath. Temporarily achieved a balance of power against The Infinity Gauntlet by using the combined power of every single magical artifact in his possession)

Speed: At least Infinite (Comparable to the Ancient One, who reacted to Umar's Bolt of Bewilderment in a microsecond, and Baron Mordo whose power was used to fuel an incantation which sent him hurling across countless dimensions, at a speed which "defies mortal calculation". With the Scroll of Watoomb, he could instantly return after Adam Warlock sent him to the edge of the universe through the Infinity Gauntlet. Has fought and reacted to Mephisto on multiple occasions[4][5]. Reacted to Borgo, a perfect copy of the Silver Surfer), up to Immeasurable at peak (Held his own against Dormammu in the Dark Dimension even before becoming Sorcerer Supreme, and forced Dormammu to exert a large deal of energy during their battle despite being inferior in power. Reflected a blast from Umar while she was in the Dark Dimension. He skillfully and consistently dodged Mistress Death's attacks despite direct mention of her omnipresence and transcendence of time.[6] Fought evenly with Nightmare) with magic, higher with certain artifacts and spells (When he had the power of Lord Chaos and Master Order, overwhelmed The In-Betweener). Omnipresent state of existence across the universe by uniting himself with Eternity

Lifting Strength: At least Multi-Stellar (Could telekinetically hold and manipulate the black hole resulting from Stygyro's star-form exploding into a supernova, hurling it at the Wheel of Change. Even after becoming exhausted due to fighting in Hell for over two days and being nearly driven insane, Doctor Strange still had enough magical power to make an entire moon rise and explode), possibly Immeasurable at peak (Using all of his strength, Strange's Astral Form resisted the pull of a weakened Dormammu and was even pulling him into the Earth Dimension)

Striking Strength: Large Building level (Fought evenly with Morbius without using magic. Held his own in a hand-to-hand fight against a demonically-possessed Wolverine, who is stated to have his power amplified by those demons), far higher with magic (Was able to stagger two Mindless Ones in the Dark Dimension with a kick)

Durability: Large Building level physically (Took hits from Morbius and a demonically-amplified Wolverine), At least Galaxy level with Forcefields (The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak defended his physical body from a supernova at point-blank range. Can hold back the power of Borgo, a perfect clone of the Silver Surfer created out of the latter's own energy. His invisible, automatic shields can protect him from Voltorg's atomic lightning, which was claimed by Yandroth to have the power to "hurl stars from their paths", only leaving him stunned due to the impact of the blast), Up to Outerverse level at peak (Survived a psychic blow from Umar when she caught him off-guard after he momentarily put his magic shield down. Withstood beatings from the Mindless Ones in the Dark Dimension and blocked their beams with the Cloak of Levitation, during a period in time when the Mindless Ones were portrayed as a threat to Dormammu himself, Took a blast without any shielding from a serious and Hell-amplified Mephisto who was also amplified above his normal Hell-amplified self "a thousand-fold") and with his strongest forcefields (Strange's forcefields managed to shield him from the battle between Dormammu and Eternity, one which Strange said threatened to destroy both Dormammu and Eternity and was also stated to have caused a "transdimensional holocaust", with Dormammu confirming Strange's shields saving him from the clash. He and Clea using magic forcefields managed to shield against Dormammu's attack which was further amplified by him drawing on the Dark Dimension for power, and they would've overpowered Dormammu together with their forcefields had Baron Mordo not sneak-attacked them. Blocked multiple attacks from a serious and Hell-amplified Mephisto who was also amplified above his normal Hell-amplified self "a thousand-fold"), higher with certain Artifacts and Spells (Capable of uniting his being with Eternity through the Eye of Agamotto, and vastly increase his magical abilities by merging with, or drawing power from beings as powerful as Arioch and Shuma-Gorath. Capable of imbuing his magic with the power of Cosmic Entities such as Lord Chaos and Master Order, allowing him to stand up to, and even overwhelm the likes of The In-Betweener)

Stamina: Superhuman (He once fought supernatural forces for days on end without sleep. He fought an army for Doombots for days alongside Clea and Isaac Newton.)

Range: At least Planetary, Varies up to Outerversal at his peak and with his most powerful spells and artifacts
