He has one mission that he has dedicated himself too and that is to serve as the Sorcerer Supreme the primary protector of earth against magical and mystical threats.
Now last night Jimmy Kimmel gave a look at the first teaser trailer for the live action film starring Benedict Cumberbatch set to release November 6th 2016 here it is if you missed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt-U_t2pUHI It is a origin story as you can tell but lets get into it. Doctor Strange was a brilliant neurosurgeon but his ego was his biggest problem. Money was his only concern not caring for his patients. But things do happen for a reason a car accident shatters the bones in his hands causing nerve damage making them useless. He is too arrogant to take on a teaching position Strange went in search of a cure from healers legitimate or not. After exhausting all his resource strange is homeless and performs shady "Back Alley" procedures for cash even with his trembling hands. After hearing rumors about some one called the ancient One Strange Pawns the last of his possessions to get a ticket to the east to find the ancient ones Tibetan palace.
The old man refused to cure strange because he sensed the selfish arrogant nature in Strange but also sensed a good side that he failed to bring out. Shocked Stephen witnesses a mystic attack on the ancient One Strange's good side does appear when he finds out The Ancient one's Disciple Baron Mordo is trying to kill the old man.
Strange gets into a fight with Mordo it leads to him being restrained by magic that stops him from fighting or warning the ancient one. Strange has a desperate and selfless change of heart he accepts the Ancients ones offer to become his apprentice to stop Mordo.
The old man knew of Mordo's intention and he and the Doctor become fierce enemies. Strange is then trained in the mystic arts.
Once he completed his training Strange moves to a townhouse in Greenwich village called The Sanctum Sanctorum which is guarded by strange's personal servant Wong.
A little bit on Wong he was born in to a whole blood line of monks task to serve the Ancient one he was asked to serve strange who became Sorcerer Supreme after the Ancient one dies in 1973. Wong functions as a chef, house keeper , Martial Arts instructor and Mystical Guardian. Wong is athletic he does not have any super human abilities he is a master Martial Artist unstoppable in hand to hand combat.
Now he does not have any magical abilities of his own but he is well aware of the Dark arts since serving strange. Wong has been able to hold his own against mystical forces and has aided strange in casting spells trust Wong is someone you do not want to threaten.
Back to the good Doctor who draws his Powers from Mystical entities such as Agamotto, Cyttorak, Ikonn, Oshtur, Raggadorr and Watoomb they all lend their energies for spells. Strange also wields mystical artifacts such as The Cloak of levitation which allows him to fly, The Eye of Agamotto whose light is used against all evil magic , The Book of the Vishanti which contains knowledge of White magic and then there is the Orb of Agamotto which works as a crystal ball.
In addition to his magical abilities Doctor strange is trained in Several Martial arts disciplines and has shown skilled with magically conjured weapons such as swords and Axes.
Strange has traveled and fought in many dimensions he has fought the likes of doctor doom all the way to Galactus the devourer of Planets and has lived he is unmatched in the mystical part of the Marvel universe. Remember This is one of the men who helped sent hulk off planet then held up against him when he returned. He also saved silver surfer's life after and attack from the Mad titan Thanos with the infinity Gauntlet.
This is a man you want on your side and I have always enjoy that character he is my one of favorite heroes he fights until the end and has fought even in Death I can say I am excited to That Marvel is bringing Magic into its Cinematic Universe an so Far the Doctor is in for business.
