Who Is Doctor Strange?
Doctor Strange is one of Marvel's most iconic sorcerers — a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon named Stephen Strange who suffered career-ending nerve damage to his hands in a car accident. Desperate for a cure, he journeyed to Tibet and found the Ancient One, who trained him in the mystic arts and transformed him into Earth's Sorcerer Supreme. He first appeared in Strange Tales #110 (1963), created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. As Sorcerer Supreme, Strange protects Earth from mystical and dimensional threats, wielding artifacts like the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto, and tangling with villains like Dormammu, Baron Mordo, and Nightmare.
