“ | How many nights did we sit in the Sanctum Sanctorum, Time Stone in the palm of our hand, knowing we could go back, gathering the courage? Well, I had the courage. I spent centuries, sacrificed everything for Christine. | „ |
~ Strange Supreme to his temporal paradox version. |
Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, M.D. Ph.D, also known as Strange Supreme, is one of the main protagonists of the first season of the Marvel animated anthology series What If...?, serving as the titular protagonist of "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?", a minor character of "What If... Ultron Won?", and one of the protagonists of "What If... the Watcher Broke His Oath?". He later appears as the main antagonist of the series' second season.
He is a variant of Doctor Strange who was in a closer relationship with Christine Palmer than his original counterpart was. When she died in a car accident, in a misguided attempt he tried to bring her back to life despite being warned by the Ancient One of the consequences, leading to the destruction of his universe.
Like his original version, he was voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. While impersonating Christine Palmer and Steve Rogers, he was voiced by Rachel McAdams and by Josh Keaton respectively.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
- All of his actions were motivated by the death of his girlfriend Christine, and he made multiple attempts to revive her.
- Before he and his good counterpart were split by the Ancient One, he stopped Dormammu from destroying Earth by putting him in a time loop to force him to accept his deal to spare Earth.
- Despite falling further and further into insanity, he retains affability towards O'Bengh and mourned his death. In fact, he tried to resurrect him too.
- He showed remorse for accidentally destroying his universe, outright bursting in tears once he revived Christine only for her to be disgusted at his actions before dying again and clearly showing shock over what happened to himself once he is imprisoned for an eternity.
- During his imprisonment, he seemed to have matured from his past behavior.
- He accepts The Watcher's offer to redeem himself and played a huge role in stopping Ultron.
- Once Arnim Zola and Prince Killmonger started to fight for the stone, he, along with The Watcher, imprisoned them in a pocket dimension and watched over them so that they cannot escape, thus saving the Multiverse.
- Imprisoned more Multiversal threats between the events of Season 1 and 2.
- While not well-intentioned at all, his goal in Season 2 is to resurrect the universe he accidentally destroyed.
- He still retains a degree of honor for his former friends as he told Captain Carter she had a good shot with her shield.
- When his inner demons took control of his body once again and tried to kill Captain Carter and Kahhori, he retook control, ultimately saving the two heroines and sacrificing himself to bring the demon into the Forge to resurrect his universe at the cost of his own life.
- After essentially becoming a Living universe, He aids the Watcher alongside The New Guardians of the Multiverse, after they arrived in his universe Thanks to Captain Carter sacrificing herself to bring them there, He assisted The Guardians in stopping The Watchers The Eminence, Incarnate, and Executioner by rendering Them completely powerless inside his universe, and therefore allowing them to see the error of their ways.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He became way too obsessed with getting his girlfriend and later his whole universe back and he's willing to use power from the Dark Dimension or kill others to get his way.
- He is pretty much a jerk to everybody, which never gets subverted unlike his original counterpart. This doesn't help that after failing to bring Christine back to life, he became even more arrogant and stubborn to the point where he would outright refuse to heed any advice from others and think his way is right.
- He infamously falls into villainy during his goal to bring Christine back, twice in fact. Once when he gave into the corruption of the Dark Dimension and refused to listen to the Ancient One and his good counterpart's warnings, and again when he was in isolation which resulted in him giving into the corruption of his inner demons once again and sought to restore his world by any means necessary. After this, he crosses the Moral Event Horizon several times and passes MCU's high heinous standards, earning him a spot on the Inconsistently Heinous wiki.
Trivia[]
- If his story arc ended after Season 1 or if he didn't fall back into villainy again and spent most of Season 2 being an antagonist, Strange Supreme wouldn't have this many corrupting qualities, making him Near Pure Good since in Season 1, he showed remorse for accidentally destroying his universe and considerably seemed to have matured out of most of them towards the end.
- He, along with Scarlet Witch and Deadpool, are the only MCU Inconsistently Admirables to also be Inconsistently Heinous.
- Coincidentally, he and Scarlet Witch both have extremely similar characterization as they had fallen into villainy twice, passed the heinous standards, and still retained their sympathetic backstories and a lot of their redeeming qualities before redeeming themselves and passing the admirable standards.
- He is currently the only What If...? and Doctor Strange character to be here.
