Doctor Strange used to be a surgeon, but his hand nerve was damaged by a car accident, so he couldn't become a doctor, so he began to look for a cure.
In a traveler's place, he heard about the ancient meaning, a legendary magician who can cure any disease, but he refused to help Doctor Strange because his life experience was too selfish.
In the end, Doctor Strange became his disciple and realized his value. After returning to new york, he continued to defend the world from evil attacks.
It seems like an ordinary process for ordinary people to become superheroes, but are his comic stories really enough? Strange? Yes!
1. Doctor Strange cartoonist suspected of taking drugs?
Doctor Strange's early cartoons were very attractive. When he was mixed with such old characters as Spider-Man and Captain America, he was very insightful. At first, his story was limited to a small part of the Marvel universe.
See you later, Stan? Lee and Steve? Ditko's two masters began to fill in his stories crazily, including myths, cosmology, psychology, religion and so on. Being mixed together creates a strange tone of postdoctoral surrealism, which not only children love to watch, but also adult fans begin to like this superhero.
But later, because of the intensification, the cartoonist and screenwriter behind this role were suspected of drawing cartoons after taking drugs.
After all, it was the 1960s, and Doctor Strange's painting style based on spiritual ability was quite fancy. It is easy to suspect that cartoonists have to rely on LSD to advance the story over time.
This prompted Marvel Comics to issue a statement denying that its employees were taking drugs. Everyone is only interested in some philosophy and mysticism. Doctor Strange's popularity has increased and his image has become better.
Later, Doctor Strange became irreplaceable. After all, other superheroes are fighting thieves, arsonists and robbers, and his villains are more cosmopolitan.
2. Being forced to be ugly by the villain is ugly!
After Doctor Strange's comics have developed to a certain extent, he is faced with two choices: to continue the traditional style, for example, to fight the villains in some alternate dimensions, or to be consistent with the traditional heroes in Marvel comics.
Marvel Comics chose the second route. In the story of "Cults and Curses" from 65438 to 0969, Doctor Strange changed his face. Because Marvel comics don't want to be too obvious, but want to try to develop this role more, it is most appropriate for villains to steal their identities.
From the issue of 177 "Doctor Strange", the demons in the villain Jewish mythology banished the Doctor Strange couple to another dimension. He himself appeared as Steven, came to the earth, pretended to be Doctor Strange, and tried to fool Guy with the book of Visanti and set hell free.
Later, when Doctor Strange wanted to return to his own dimension, an invisible mysterious obstacle stopped him! He obviously felt that he could never enter the dimension of the earth again, because the devil in Jewish mythology stole his face and identity!
The dimension equivalent to this earth has its own censorship system. When the devil in Jewish mythology enters this dimension, he pretends to be Doctor Strange. This system acquiesces that Doctor Strange has returned to the earth, and when does the real Doctor Strange want to come back, because it is recorded in the system? Doctor Strange is already on the earth? So it doesn't exist? Let Doctor Strange enter the dimension again? This kind of thing, which is a paradox, is not feasible.
Forced to do nothing, the real Doctor Strange changed his costume with a spell and added a mask to look like the Silver Surfer who bathed in blue paint. Ugly as hell. ......
Fortunately, this style has never appeared again!
3. Doctor Strange's cartoon style has always been psychedelic.
Speaking of psychedelic comics and movies, Alice in Wonderland is the most classic and popular one.
1974 is the most psychedelic peak of Doctor Strange's story style. In this story, he entered the eyes of his Aga motorcycle and found a world like the characters in Alice in Wonderland, including a caterpillar who loves smoking and a white rabbit.
Not only that, Doctor Strange also met some other Marvel comic characters and created a Marvel comic together? Superhero tea party? Drink tea, eat cake and chat.
On the other hand, it may be because the painting style is unstable, and Doctor Strange's temper is also fluctuating. Victory and torture? In the story, he actually cooperated with Dr. Doom, and two magicians joined hands to go to the hell of the demon Mephistopheles to save Dr. Doom's mother.
Although it is cooperation with villains, this story is everyone's favorite, which increases the psychological level of Dr. Doom and Doctor Strange, and also shows that there is actually a bond between superheroes and villains.
4. The villains are becoming more and more diverse.
In 1980s and 1990s, cartoons and TV series with supernatural elements became more and more popular, and Buffy the Vampire was the best example.
In order to cater to the tastes of a new generation of fans, Marvel Comics launched the Midnight Sons Team, and Doctor Strange was one of them.
In the story of Fortress Besieged in the Dark, Doctor Strange first appeared as a member of the Midnight Son, and joined forces with the evil knight, vampire Morbius and other heroes to deal with a demon named Lilith.
Later, Doctor Strange joined the Defenders' Union to expand his influence. Unfortunately, with the decline of this style in the late 1990s, the popularity of Marvel comics also declined, and Doctor Strange almost took a back seat in the comic industry.
5. Participate in the exile of the Hulk?
Besides his own comic story, reunion, Defenders' League and Midnight's Son, another most important team that Doctor Strange joined was the Illuminati.
This team gathered all the superheroes with the highest IQ in Marvel comics, such as Professor X, Iron Man, and Mr. Wonder. In order to better prevent alien races or haunters from affecting human safety.
When the Hulk made a scene in Las Vegas, the friends of the Illuminati voted to expel him from the earth. Together, they tried to trap Hulk in a rocket and launch it into outer space.
But as we all know, the Hulk cannot be exiled forever. A few years later, he returned to earth, stronger and more angry, and began to retaliate against the Illuminati who exiled himself in those years, and every member did not let go.
6. Doctor Strange sometimes has a bad time in cartoons.
I have to say, Doctor Strange is really bad sometimes. For example, in the story of the secret war, he and Dr. Doom once again joined forces to try to avoid the complete destruction of the Marvel universe, and finally became the second commander, responsible for commanding a patchwork planet. The surviving superhero had long forgotten his past.
Dr Doom was finally defeated, but before he was defeated, he killed Doctor Strange. Fortunately, everything was restored in the end.
Doctor Strange has been having a hard time recently. With a group of ragged wizards, Empirikul was prevented from erasing the magic in the universe. Although it was successful, it was very successful.
Later, I finally regained my strength and rebuilt my mysterious library.
