One of my favorite characters in the MCU is Dr. Strange. He nearly has all the qualities to become the best Avenger so far, as he is a man of many talents and abilities. Throughout
Marvel Movies, we could see the importance of him to the Avengers, especially in the battle with Thanos. In the absence of him, there would have been no way to save the universe.
An aspect needing to mention is his power and abilities. Dr. Strange has gradually accumulated and bettered his skills. Perhaps his most famous named spell to date, the Runes of Kof-Kol, is a "forgetting" spell that allows its subjects to forget anything as long as it is within the spell's parameters before casting. If you're interested in other magical spells, scroll down and look at 15 powerful capabilities belonging to Dr. Strange.

This spell is so powerful that it can affect the entire planet (and possibly the universe), and its subjects will be none the wiser about what happened.
14. Astral Projection

the ability to separate one's astral form from their body, was Stephen Strange's introduction to the world of the Mystic Arts. When he first met the Ancient One, Strange was initially full of skepticism until she separated Strange's physical and astral forms.
13. Strange Summoned The Images Of Ikonn

The ability to duplicate oneself is drawn from the power of the demon, Ikonn. This spell is highly effective in combat, allowing Strange to confuse his enemies while providing enough distraction for him to use other more damaging spells or stall.
12. The Winds Of Watoomb

The Winds of Watoomb is a spell used by Strange that generates a powerful gust of wind. In Infinity War, Strange used the spell to clear the wind storm creating chaos in New York City created by the Black Order's nearby spacecraft.

This powerful binding spell allows its user to cast a strong bind around an opponent or object. In Avengers: Infinity War, this was shown to be so powerful that even Thanos had trouble against it. It was even able to subdue one of Thanos' arms during the heroes' unsuccessful attempt to rid the Mad Titan of his gauntlet.
10. The Bolts Of Balthakk

Perhaps one of his strongest offensive spells, the Bolts of Balthakk, is a strong lightning attack used frequently by Strange in combat.

One of Doctor Strange's most iconic abilities is his mastery of the art of portal creation. While most often used to transport from one place to another, there have been moments where he creatively used it for other purposes.
5. Strange Can Manipulate Time

This parallel dimension is one that sorcerers can enter to either practice their abilities or safely engage in combat with an opponent without having to worry about collateral damage to the outside world. A powerful sorcerer like Strange or the Ancient One can even manipulate the inside of the Mirror Dimension to their advantage.
2. Eldritch Magic

Strange demonstrated the use of Eldritch Magic in Avengers: Infinity War when he placed this "simple but quite unbreakable" spell onto the Eye of Agamotto, which was being targeted by the Black Order as it housed the Time Stone.
1. The Cloak Of Levitation

Doctor Strange's Cloak is one of the most iconic aspects of the character. Unlike everything else on this list, it is implied that the Cloak is conscious and has its own mind and personality to an extent.
