Doctor Strange

Here's my Mighty Protectors take on the Sorceror Supreme, Doctor Strange! This write-up mainly reflects his stats & abilities from the Bronze Age of superhero comics. I used Google Sheets to list many of Doctor Strange's Spells (in Arsenal form) along with his Eye of Agamotto. Note that the list of spells is not exhaustive: I tried to include as many of his "famous" spells as I could think of, but it does not include every spell he has ever cast over his decades-long comic book career.

Notes:
1. Aside from his incredible willpower, Doctor Strange is (mostly) a normal human, although at 24 I did give him a very high Intelligence score; I also gave him good Endurance and Agility at 18 each.
2. I gave him extra Inventing points so that, if needed, he can create a spell that isn't in his arsenal.
3. The Eye of Agamotto Arsenal has 4 slots but only 3 options, which means he never has to pick anything to change.
4. I don't go into detail about his base but it would likely contain many spells built as systems.
5. I did not include Wong or Clea as companions because the way the Companion Ability is structured, they would have been built on too many points. Wong is probably about a 100 CP character while Clea is probably 100-150 CPs.

Here's a pic of Strange's base, the Sanctum Santorum:

Doctor Strange learned martial arts while studying in Tibet, which you can see illustrated here:

  1. An excellent write-up, for which Arsenal fits perfectly. I appreciate your use of Google for supplemental documents like that, since I've been using Google since about 2006.

    Inventing Points is also a great way to represent "Ritual spell contained in a book that he only rarely ever uses, but which might come in handy this one time."
