AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY WATCH
CONFIRMEDDoctor Strange is CONFIRMED for Avengers: Doomsday. Benedict Cumberbatch remains the MCU's Sorcerer Supreme and is essential to the multiverse saga. Strange's magical abilities are the perfect counter to Doctor Doom's sorcery—in comics, Strange and Doom have clashed repeatedly. Expect Strange to be a central figure in both Doomsday and Secret Wars.
MAGIC VS. MAGIC
Doctor Doom is one of the few characters who rivals Strange in sorcery. Their magical battles in comics are legendary. Strange's mastery of the mystic arts will be essential against Doom's combination of technology and magic. The Illuminati connection (both were members) adds personal stakes to their conflict.
INVESTMENT IMPLICATION
Strange Tales #110 (first appearance) is a Silver Age mega-key. Benedict Cumberbatch's continued MCU presence ensures strong demand. Strange's role in multiverse stories makes him essential for Doomsday/Secret Wars. Platinum tier status reflects his A-list importance.

Master of the Mystic Arts
Doctor Strange first appeared in Strange Tales #110 (July 1963), created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Stephen Strange was a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon whose career ended when a car accident damaged the nerves in his hands. Desperate for a cure, he sought the Ancient One in Tibet and discovered a world of magic. He became the Sorcerer Supreme—Earth's primary defender against mystical threats.
Strange's magic is powered by invoking entities like the Vishanti, Cyttorak, and the Faltine. He wields artifacts like the Eye of Agamotto (which contains the Time Stone in the MCU), the Cloak of Levitation, and the Book of the Vishanti. His Sanctum Sanctorum in Greenwich Village is a nexus of magical energy. He's faced threats like Dormammu, Nightmare, Shuma-Gorath, and countless dimensional invaders.
Strange is a founding member of the Defenders and the Illuminati. He's one of the few heroes trusted with universe-altering decisions. His relationship with Clea, princess of the Dark Dimension, is one of comics' great romances. He's died and returned multiple times, lost and regained the Sorcerer Supreme title, and remains one of Marvel's most powerful characters.
