character information ● name: Dr. Stephen Strange ● canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe ● canon point: During the battle on Titan (about 3/4 into Infinity Wars. If accepted, an opt-out post for spoilers will be made in his journal) ● age: Early fourties (there is no official canon age, I tend to go with his actor age in 2018, the year IW 'happened' in canon, so 42 yo)
● abilities: (NB: these were copied and pasted from his wikia page and cleaned of spoilers)
Master Sorcerer: As the present guardian of the New York Sanctum, Strange, despite his relative inexperience, is one of the most powerful Masters of the Mystic Arts, possessing an extremely high level of mastery over magic which he uses to defend his native reality. Strange makes up for his lack of experience with his gifted intellect, photographic memory, and ingenuity.
Eldritch Magic Manipulation: Strange is able to shape and manipulate Eldritch Magic, forming tangible constructs of energy such as weapons or shields, as well as cast spells by writing specific formations with the fiery energy. He demonstrated the ability to form Eldritch Whips and Tao Mandalas and could scan a piece of Thor's hair with the energy and briefly conjure Odin's symbol to aid in forming a portal that would take him to Odin. He also could project a barrier around himself and others to shield them from the impact of Ebony Maw's Q-Ship crashing on Titan. During the Battle of Titan, Strange demonstrated being able to conjure platforms for his allies to walk upon, as shown when Star-Lord jumped across them to attack Thanos. Additionally, he was able to generate powerful bolts of fiery energy that ricocheted off several floating boulders to attack Thanos, as well as craft a sword that he used to engage the Titan alongside Drax.
Transmutation: During his meeting with Thor, Strange was able to turn a cup of tea into a large mug of beer that was also able to magically refill itself. After Bruce Banner crashed through the roof of the Sanctum, Strange was able to transform the normal street clothes he was wearing into his blue robes.
Atmospheric Spell: Strange was able to conjure a wave of golden light that cleared the street of smoke and debris after Ebony Maw's Q-Ship landed in Greenwich Village, while also stopping the destructive windstorm the ship was causing. The smoke was expelled from the street and towards the sky.
Protection Spell: To protect the Eye of Agamotto from being stolen by Ebony Maw, Strange cast a protection spell upon the relic that burned anyone that attempts to take it, making it seemingly impossible to remove it unless the spell was removed, even if he were killed.
Binding Spell: During the Battle of Titan, Strange conjured dark red metallic bands to restrain Thanos's hand so he couldn't use the power of the Infinity Gauntlet. The bands were much stronger than the usual Eldritch Whip he uses to restrain enemies, notably able to restrict Thanos's use of the Gauntlet for a considerable period of time,
Duplication Spell: During the Battle of Titan, Strange was able to create dozens of copies of himself to attack Thanos with their Eldritch Whips.
Flight: Using the Cloak of Levitation, Strange is able to levitate, hover, and fly. The Cloak can greatly lessen the impact of falling from great heights by effortlessly reducing his speed.
Dimensional Warping: Strange was capable of conjuring a construct of the Mirror Dimension in the form of crystalline fractals that acted as a shield, absorbing an energy beam from the Power Stone, and was also able to send the fractals at Thanos.
Teleportation: Using a Sling Ring, Strange is able to open portals that lead to different locations and dimensions, gaining the ability to both move across the material world and to other parts of the Multiverse. He's also been shown teleporting allies and enemies, as well as object if needed. NERFING: Teleportation will only be within the world of the game
Astral Projection: Strange is capable of separating his astral form from his body, gaining access to the Astral Dimension.
Conjuration: Strange was able to make an umbrella stand appear in front of Thor for him to put down Mjølnir, which had been disguised as an umbrella.
Time Manipulation: Using the Eye of Agamotto, Strange can control the flow of time or be it on a small or massive scale, notably to turn back something to a previous state, accelerating its time in order to apply changes that have not happened yet, or to lock in a time loop, with time resetting over and over until he stops its effect. He has the knowledge and ability required to use the Eye to peer into the future just like the Ancient One did. NERFING: Peering into the future will not be possible in game for obvious reasons, and time manipulation won't be possible beyond a minute forward or back.
● strengths:
Strange is extremely intelligent: he was on HYDRA's list of potential threats, he managed to do his PhD at the same time than his MD, and he was considered one of the world's leading scientist before his accident. As a sorcerer, he shows the same intelligence, and quickly proves to be one of the most powerful Master of the Mystic Arts, managing to defeat Dormammu and to surprise Loki by capturing him in a dimensional gateway. Because of his intelligence, Strange is also very resourceful, and imaginative. He finds solutions to resolve problems in ways that are unexpected to most; defeating Dormammu using a time-loop, creating a protection spell for the Eye of Agamotto and using the Cloak of Levitation against Thanos are a few examples of how he thinks outside the box.
Stephen has a great capacity for goodness, and his origin story is one where he comes to term with this part of himself. Even early on, he shows a willingness to do good, as he took on Christine's patient's case. When in Karma-Taj, Stephen instinctively comes to the New York Sanctum aid, defending the place of power against the Zealots. Following the death of the Ancient one, Strange accepts his new role as a defender of Earth. His selflessness comes to full fruition when he chooses to lock himself in an eternal time loop in the Dark Dimension, trapping Dormammu with him and saving Earth at the same time. The choice he also makes at the end of the Infinity War shows how much he is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
● weaknesses:
One of Strange's flaws is that he is self-centered. Other characters often mentions how Stephen makes it all about himself. Before his accident, he was choosing only the medical cases that would serve him best and further his career, instead of choosing ones where he could simply help those in need. During his time at Karma-Taj, he studied spells in order to fix his shaking hands, to get back to his old life, and when first presented with the chance for a higher calling within the Master of the Mystic Arts, Strange turned them down, laughing. Even after killing the Zealot in the New York Sanctum, Strange made it all about himself and the oath he had taken as a doctor, unwilling to see that taking one life might save countless others. Even during the Infinity War movie, Strange often makes the point that his oath to protect the Time Stone comes first and foremost, a sign that he is not willing to compromise at the cost of failing his mission.
Being self-centered made him also ambitious, often taking on cases that were deemed impossible to solve, all the while leading cutting-edge research in neurophysiology. As a sorcerer, Stephen showed the same kind of ambition, perhaps not for the same reasons. He studied subjects and spells that were considered too advanced for his level as an apprentice, even going as far as borrowing the Eye of Agamotto and trying his hands at bending the time-space continuum. This shows that he is arrogant as well, believing that he can handle harder spells with ease, forgoing reading the warnings beforehand. He also chooses to face Thanos on his own while the rest of the Avengers and the Guardians are down, knowing fully well that he would not defeat the Titan by himself.
● job skills (optional): MD/PhD in neurosurgery (can't practice surgery himself, but can lead others), smart, photographic memory ● housing (optional): Somewhere chic and rich? He really likes how the Sanctum looks.
