Maybe the next Doctor Strange story will mention Victor. Stephen tries to do “We had a sister named Donna” with a variant once again, but…


"Donna fell through the ice."
"Is this a double bluff? Victor fell through the ice."
"Huh?"
"My *brother*, Victor, froze to death right in front of me! You think I’m going to forget that?”
"Intriguing."

Loving the fact Stephen managed to turn his brother into a vampire by accident.
That's some impressive level of screwing up there, even for him.

But it seems like the moral of pretty much every Doctor Strange story is "Don't let Stephen Strange do anything."

[cainofdreaming]

Not always. Sometimes it's "Whoa! This LSD sure is awesome!"

[mastermahan]

Honestly, you can say that about so many Marvel characters. Don't let Reed Richards do anything. Don't let Tony Stark do anything. Hank Pym. Matt Murdock. Charles Xavier. Hank McCoy.

Q: Who's the biggest screw-up in Marvel? It's a crowded field.

Young Stephen Strange: the magical equivalent of the man who notices his computer starting to crash and reacts by pressing every single button and opening every single program, even after the screen turns black and the noise of the fans drown out everything else.

_Victor_ Strange?

Not as if there is someone else in Strange's life named Victor with the magical and technological ability to create a convincing Victorbot. Oh no.

Okay, now this is just silly. I probably say that a lot, but that's probably because I find a lot of comic plots silly. Is Marvel really pulling the "look a like brother" thing? I thought that was only a joke about soap operas.

Revenge for WHAT? And on who? Isn't Stephen a little dead at the moment?

[cainofdreaming]

Like that's ever stopped anyone.

And Doc also had a magical clone who looks exactly like him, and another that might too but he always wore a full face mask.

[blues32]

Sure, but a magic clone isn't the same as having a brother on ice for decades...that was also a vampire...but also staked himself and now lives in reflections like some twisted version of Drom the Backwards Man.

[cainofdreaming]

Well, both clones did turn against him and the other went to live with his ex. And one of them had a habit of coming out of Marlo Chandler's fridge.

There was a whole big storyline about Victor being turned into a vampire postmortem back in the late 80s and early 90s, but he didn't look anything like Stephen back then.

[shakalooloo]

Maybe it was a side-effect of one of the spells. "I want my brother be as alive as I am!"

[mastermahan]

Feels like he needs a name that incorporates the cryogenics thing. Is the name Victor Freeze taken yet?
