Early Life. Dr. Stephen Strange. Stephen Strange was born to Eugene and Beverly Strange in November[7] 1. Philadelphia. In 1. Stephen's sister Donna was born at the family's Nebraska farm. Knowing that Strange was destined to become the next Sorcerer Supreme, a resentful apprentice sorcerer, Karl Mordo, beset the child with demons from the age of eight through to adulthood, as he was jealous that a kid would be better than him. Ultimately Strange was rescued by Mordo's master, the Ancient One, mystic protector of the Earth- realm as the then- current Sorcerer Supreme.
A year or two after this torment began, Stephen's brother, Victor, was born. At age eleven Strange aided an injured Donna, an experience which ultimately fostered an interest in medicine.
Strange entered New York College as a pre- med student directly out of high school. Later, while home on vacation for his nineteenth birthday, Strange was swimming with Donna when she suffered a cramp. After a frantic search, Stephen found her already drowned.
The experience left him with a sense of personal failure that eroded his medical idealism.[citation needed]Medical Career. Brilliant Surgeon. Stephen earned his medical degree at Columbia University in record time and entered a five- year residency at New York- Presbyterian Hospital, where his rapid success made him arrogant. Stephen's mother Beverly died near the end of his residency, and work became more and more impersonal for the bereaved surgeon.
Strange's talent remained, however, and he became a wealthy and celebrated neurosurgeon before he turned thirty.[8]Arrogant Doctor. Egotistical and greedy, cold and callous, Strange's interest in his patients generally began and ended at his bill.[8] The exception was Madeleine Revell, an injured United Nations translator whom he saved and fell in love with. Following a whirlwind romance and proposal, she left him due to his increasingly materialistic nature.[9]Two years after his mother's death, Strange's father, Eugene also fell ill. Already crippled by grief over his mother's death (though he would never admit it), Stephen was unable to face any more tragedy and refused to visit Eugene's deathbed. A few days later, an outraged Victor confronted Stephen in his apartment over his apparent lack of grief.[1.
Following the confrontation, Victor rushed from the apartment and into the path of an oncoming car. Victor died, and a guilt- wracked Stephen placed Victor's body in cold storage, half- hoping that future breakthroughs could revive him.[1.
Car Accident. Car Accident. Inured Hands. Around 1.
Strange was involved in a debilitating car accident.[8]Dr. Nicodemus West a brilliant surgeon in his own right was an admirer of Dr.
Stephen Strange agreed to do the surgery. Though he was able to save Strange, the nerves in his hands were severely damaged.[1. Dr. Strange with his surgical career over and too vain to accept positions as a consultant or assistant, Strange exhausted his fortune following every rumored treatment, no matter how ineffective. In a matter of months the once wealthy surgeon became a derelict,[8] and resorted to performing a number of shady medical procedures to survive (and pay his growing bar tabs).
Strange's guilt over the mistakes of his early life would come to weigh heavily upon him over the years, and his recollections of the time could not always be trusted.[1. Seeking the Ancient One. After hearing rumors of the mystical Ancient One, Strange pawned his last possessions for a ticket to the East. Strange found the Ancient One's Tibetan palace, but the aged sorcerer refused to cure him, instead offering to teach him in mysticism. Strange refused, but couldn't leave immediately due to a sudden blizzard. While staying for the duration of the storm, Strange witnessed the Ancient One's apprentice, Baron Mordo, secretly attack the teacher with mystically summoned skeletons, which the old man easily dispelled. Strange, his skepticism eroding, confronted Mordo about the treachery but Mordo responded with restraining spells that kept Strange from warning the Ancient One or attacking Mordo physically.
Amazed by these displays of magic, Strange underwent a change of heart. Deciding that the only way to stop Mordo was to learn magic himself in order to challenge Mordo on his terms, Strange accepted the Ancient One's offer. Pleased by Strange's acceptance for unselfish reasons, the Ancient One removed the mystic restraints, explaining that he was well aware of Mordo's treachery but preferred to keep Mordo close by in order to control and possibly change him.[8]Doctor Stephen Strange. The Ancient One had known of Strange and his potential to serve as the Sorcerer Supreme prior to even Strange’s first encounter with him.
He regarded his hidden prowess so highly that he rejected Daimon Hellstrom for Strange as his pupil. The Ancient One had planned to make Dr. Strange his successor for a long time.[citation needed]Strange spent years under the Ancient One's tutelage, learning to tap the innate mystic powers of himself and the world around him, as well as how to invoke the powers of Principalities, powerful beings such as Dormammu, Satannish, and the Vishanti, who resided in their own mystic realms. A few years after Strange's arrival, Mordo left the Ancient One's palace to seek greater power. The two rivals would clash often in the future. It was during this time that Strange passed a test against Death itself. As a reward, Strange was given ageless life and an ankh- shaped mark on his forehead that would only appear when his life was in dire jeopardy.
The Ancient One himself had attained near- immortality by passing this test over 6. During his early years as a student of the mystic arts, Strange befriended many sorcerers around the world, including Lord Julian Phyffe and Sir Clive Bentley of Great Britain[1.
Cardinal Alfeo Spinosa and Count Tancredo Carezzi of Italy; Omar Karindu, Rama Kaliph,[1. Turhan Barim of the Middle East; Wai Chee Yee and Sen- Yu of Asia; [1. Aleister Kane, Kenneth Ward,[2] and Frank Brukner of America. Strange also found allies among more of earth's heroes, aiding the Black Fox in at least two adventures, while other adventurers, such as Immortalis and Terror, Inc., regarded him with skepticism.[citation needed]Mystic Consultant.
Strange studied magic under the Ancient One for seven years and returned to the United States in the 1. Strange became a mystic consultant, establishing his Sanctum Sanctorum in New York's Greenwich Village. He was attended by Wong, latest in a centuries- old bloodline that had served the Ancient One, and who had become both Strange's servant and his friend. During this time Strange fought the demonic entities such as the Possessors,[1. Aggamon,[1. 6] the House of Shadows[1.
Doctor Strange Review
Zota[1. 8], the Bottle Imp, and Kh. LΘG. Strange also fought the otherworldly Nightmare, who fed upon dreaming humanity's terror, and became one of Strange's most bitter enemies.[1. The mysterious doctor's reputation grew, and Strange even became an occasional consultant to local and federal authorities.[citation needed]Superhero Career. When the debut of the Fantastic Four heralded the dawn of the Heroic Age, Strange initially remained aloof from New York's superhero community, fighting his battles against Nightmare and Baron Mordo[2.
At one point Loki, the Asgardian god of trickery manipulated Strange into attacking his heroic foster brother, Thor. The treachery was soon exposed, however, and Strange turned against Loki.[2. Thor would later, in the guise of Dr. Donald Blake save Strange's life by operating on him after another battle with Mordo[2.
Soon after, a clash with Mordo led Strange to ally with the young Spider- Man, who helped Strange rescue several people from a mystic dimension. The experience proved so traumatic that Spider- Man asked Strange to remove their memories of the event, though this caused them to forget Spider- Man's heroism as well. Impressed by the young hero's bravery and altruism, Strange came to regard him as a friend, and the two have teamed up many times over the years.[citation needed]Doctor Strange kissing Clea. The Dread Dormammu, sensing his old adversary the Ancient One's declining power, threatened to invade the Earth- Realm and sent a messenger ahead of him. Upon learning of Dormammu's intent, the Ancient One sent Strange to the Dark Dimension to do battle with the evil foe. While there, Strange was approached by Clea, a novice mystic and, though few knew it at the time, daughter of Dormammu's sister Umar. Clea feared that if Dormammu fell as ruler of the Dark Dimension, dimensional barriers would weaken and the realm would be ravaged by the Mindless Ones.
Clea thus sought to prevent the duel, but Strange would not yield[2. Dormammu easily outmatched Strange, but in the process lost just enough of his energies that the Mindless Ones were able to invade.
