Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange has learned much of the the secrets of sorcery and magic, eventually earning the name Master Of The Mystic Arts. He proved himself being worthy when warning the Ancient One of the evil of Baron Mordo. Stephen barely made it to The Ancient One's palace in the Himalayan Mountains in Tibet, but he had to prove himself worthy of becoming the Ancient One's disciple when asking for help and mentoring. After several failed attempts to find a cure, Strange became a recluse but learned of a man named the Ancient One with great mystical powers. Origin:Once a gifted, yet arrogant and selfish Neurosurgeon, Stephen Strange was involved in an automobile accident leaving his nerves damaged and his days as a surgeon came to a quick end.

There, his voice was done by Chris Edgerly, who also voiced The Flash in 2006 animated series Justice League Heroes. He didn't have another media breakout until August 14, 2007, when Marvel released an animated feature about him direct to home video. The monthly Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme continues to this day. In 1972, a Doctor Strange series began in Marvel Premiere, which the publisher had launched earlier that year as a try-out comic along the lines of DC's Showcase.
Doctor Strange abandoned the skin-tights and reverted to his robes and cloaks, and continued to pop up here and there for the next several years. By then, it had become standard practice for series-less Marvel characters to hang around in the background, appearing as guest stars or group members instead of just dropping out of sight. Three issues after that, he was demoted to bimonthly publication. Eight issues later, the Master of the Mystic Arts was subjected to the indignity of being re-designed along more standard superhero lines. Unfortunately, while his following was fairly strong by this time, it was not yet strong enough to sustain him in his own monthly.
The Doctor Strange series was expanded to fill the whole book, which was retitled Doctor Strange. All of them followed Ditko's lead in designing alien dimensions, but nobody ever did it quite like Ditko. Ironically, that was the first issue in which Doctor Strange occupied the entire cover, not sharing it with any other series. His last Doctor Strange story appeared in Strange Tales #146, dated July of that year. Ditko left Marvel in 1966, and went on to create characters like The Blue Beetle for Charlton Comics and The Creeper for DC.
Ditko created a look unlike any that had been seen in comics before, full of floating pathways and disembodied faces and doorways set in empty space. And when Doctor Strange travelled to some mystical dimension, the reader could see that he was in an unearthly environment. Strange's villains included Nightmare , the living embodiment of unrestful sleep, and The Dread Dormammu, an other-dimensional despot with open flame where his head should be. It was connected to the mainstream Marvel Universe , but not quite congruent with it. In the months that followed, Lee and Ditko crafted a unique magical milieu for Doctor Strange to adventure in. The Ancient One, who had known of Mordo's plot all along, thereupon nullified the spell and accepted Strange as a worthy disciple. Mordo magically prevented Strange from revealing the plan, so to thwart Mordo, Strange asked to become a student of magic himself. In desperation, he sought out a Tibetan alleged miracle worker known only as The Ancient One, but was deemed unworthy of assistance. When an accident rendered his hands incapable of the delicate movements required of his practice, he lost everything.
Stephen Strange had been a world-famous surgeon, but totally cold and self-absorbed.
