In the comics, Strange was a neurosurgeon with a bit of an ego. Then he suffers a car accident which damages his nerves and prevents him from being able to continue his career. From there, he searches the world over and spends his entire fortune trying to find a cure. Then he finds The Ancient One and is trained to become Sorcerer Supreme - earth's guardian. With his servant Wong by his side, and a plethora of mystical artifacts at his disposal, Doctor Strange battles the likes of Baron Mordo, Dormammu, Nightmare, and many other hyper-powered baddies. Dormammu himself would give Thanos a run for his money.

And this year, Dr. Strange will finally make his way to the big screen. And with this new trailer, it's looking very, very interesting.
