Doctor Strange tells the story of Stephen Strange, an acclaimed neurosurgeon who uncovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions after a near-fatal car accident. In the film he encounters the Ancient One who becomes Strange’s mentor in the mystic arts. Originally created by the legendary Steve Ditko, the character first appeared in 1963, in Strange Tales #110.
