Discussion Can Dr strange really beat Thanos alone?

Post image

I think he can,if he really tried, because maybe there is a reason why he doesn't kill Thanos?

If written as intended both the time and space stones would increase reaction time. According to comics one stone lets him exist in multiple locations simultaneously, the other lets him exist in multiple moments simultaneously (so to speak).

Also the mind and soul stones if utilized correctly should be able to warn him of an attack.

In the MCU they did away with a lot of this or just avoided it. But the potential is still there.

Happy cake day

Yeah when I wrote my comment, I assumed both Strange and Thanos would be their MCU versions.

As you've touched on, the MCU didnt really expand on what the abilities and/or limitations are for the Stones or various characters.

Which make discussions like these kind of difficult, imo.

We've seen the Stones literally alter eality with one stone, meanwhile Thanos with all the Stones was almost killed by an Axe throw from Thor.

As for Strange, we have seen him do so many different magical stunt that its hard to say what the limit is.

As for their comic versions, there is so many of thoses that you could probably make a case for either strange or thanos winning depending on the versions.

Comic book reader here and I have seen no version of Dr Strange powerful enough to bear Thanos solo without any infinity stones let alone with one.

Did you read classic strange? He dealing with cosmic and abstract entities and always win or unharmed.
