Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange) is a Marvel Comics superhero created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, first appearing in Strange Tales #110 (1963). He is a former neurosurgeon whose hands are destroyed in a car accident. Seeking a cure, he travels to Kamar-Taj and trains under the Ancient One, becoming the Sorcerer Supreme — Earth's primary defender against mystical threats. He wields the Eye of Agamotto (housing the Time Stone), the Cloak of Levitation, and mastery of the mystic arts. Benedict Cumberbatch portrays him in the MCU.

What Are Doctor Strange's Powers?

Doctor Strange is one of the most powerful characters in Marvel. His abilities include: astral projection, dimensional travel, time manipulation (via the Eye of Agamotto), energy shields and weapons, teleportation, flight (via the Cloak of Levitation), reality manipulation, and the ability to create mirror dimensions. He has the most extensive magical knowledge of any character in the Marvel universe.

What Is the Eye of Agamotto?

The Eye of Agamotto is a mystical artifact that, in the MCU, houses the Time Stone — one of the six Infinity Stones. It allows the user to manipulate time: rewinding, fast-forwarding, and creating time loops. Strange used it to defeat Dormammu by trapping him in a time loop (Dormammu, I've come to bargain). He surrendered the Time Stone to Thanos in Infinity War because he saw that it was the only path to eventual victory.

What Is Dormammu I've Come to Bargain?

In the climax of Doctor Strange (2016), Strange confronts Dormammu, a god-like entity from the Dark Dimension, by creating a time loop. Each time Dormammu kills Strange, time resets and Strange returns, repeating Dormammu, I have come to bargain. Strange essentially wins by losing infinitely — Dormammu cannot escape the loop and eventually agrees to leave Earth.

Can You Talk to Doctor Strange?

Doctor Strange is available as an AI companion on HoloDream. Dormammu, he has come to bargain.
