And before you ask, no, Dr. Carlo Strange (first name revealed in an OHOTMU) has never re-appeared outside of a flashback and reference in a book written by Kurt Busiek ...

... which suggests where he might show up next, actually.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I didn't think he'd reappear, but I did wonder if he was ever referenced-- particularly in the presence of or by Stephen Strange.

[cricharddavies]

Nope, but his appearance in that series was somewhat drawn to resemble Stephen. See here for deets: http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/drstrng2.htm

Are you a prophet? Because just this week, mere days after you posted this…

O.o

[cricharddavies]

That would explain why I'm not honored in my country, but no, just someone who has some good pattern recognition skills. And if anything, I would have predicted him to show up at the series' big finish, not this early into it.

If anyone in this conversation is a prophet, it'd be superboyprime, for bringing up the character in the first place.

Kudos to Dr Carlo Strange for being a better parent than some superhero parents are in the finale of this tale here

I do love how Iron Man here reacts to the news that the supervillain who wants to take over the world is still out there can be summed up as "Sure hope someone does something about that guy before his next crime spree"

This kind of "Can't somebody else do it?" approach to crime fighting is why you are not popular with your peers

Yes, the usual supervillain reaction would be to disown his daughter and want revenge, but he comes right out and says he still loves her and forgives her because he;s her father. Good expression on his face there!

Though if you blow up the world, Doc, that silver platter will be scorched!

Bring back Carla as the Runaway's Cool Aunt.

[tinygaylaura]

That would be cute :)

[arilou_skiff]

Yep its fun.

Do this Marvel

[john_wyatt]

Could he be the main character in the upcoming "Death of Dr. Strange" mini? (Because Stephen won't be staying dead)

"If you must know, it's your despotic ultimatum and your willingness to destroy mankind if the Earth doesn't surrender to you!"

I like that Iron Man has gone from "Hope this water doesn't rust my iron shell!" to storing his armor in his hollowed-out bones via nanobots.

Should have called it The Strangehold

[agharta75]

I don't suppose Stephen has ever encountered this guy.

This Dr. Strange needs to team up with Dr. Droom and The Living Hulk (now Xemnu). Any more of them out there?

[gnarll]

Might be Stephen is not the only one in his family with a doctorate.

Mind control, force fields... I wonder if Carlo only thinks its science?
