Initially, he was a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon whose career was cut short by a car accident that left his hands severely damaged. Seeking a cure, Strange discovered the mystic arts under the Ancient One, becoming a master of magical spells and artifacts. He uses these abilities to protect Earth from mystical threats, wielding powerful items like the Eye of Agamotto and the Cloak of Levitation. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Strange is portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch. He is a key figure in defending Earth against magical threats, often using time manipulation to achieve his goals. Strange's journey transforms him from an egotistical surgeon to a selfless protector of the world. His abilities include casting spells, creating portals, and manipulating time with the Eye of Agamotto. Strange resides in the Sanctum Sanctorum, working closely with allies like Wong to safeguard the world.
