Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Who Can’t Even Pronounce His Own Name
If you are a lover of Marvel Comics, then there is no way that you haven’t heard about the infamous Doctor Strange. This guy has been around for quite some time now and he’s been through it all – from being a brilliant surgeon to becoming one of the most powerful sorcerers in the universe.
However, despite his impressive powers and abilities, there are still some things that this mystical superhero can’t seem to get right. In fact, we’re pretty sure that if there was an award for “The Most Awkward Superhero,” Doctor Strange would be at the top of that list.
Don’t believe us? Well, here are just a few examples of why Doctor Strange might just be the most awkward superhero out there:
1. He Can’t Even Pronounce His Own Name
Let’s start with the basics – Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange can’t even pronounce his own name properly! Instead of saying “Strange” like any normal person would, he pronounces it as “Strahnge.” Maybe it’s because he spent so much time studying ancient texts and learning spells that he forgot how to speak English correctly?
2. He Dresses Like A 70s Magician
Now let’s talk about his fashion choices. We get it; he’s into magical stuff and all that jazz but come on man! That cape with those ridiculous collars? And those gloves? It’s like someone threw up a disco ball onto him while he was walking down Haight-Ashbury back in ‘72.
3. He Gets Nervous Around Women
You would think someone who has traveled through different dimensions and fought off cosmic entities wouldn’t have any trouble talking to women, but not our dear old Doc! Whenever Clea or any other female character is around him, he turns into a blubbering mess – stumbling over his words and sweating profusely. Maybe he’s just not used to interacting with people who don’t have mystical powers?
4. He Has No Sense Of Humor
Sure, being a sorcerer is no laughing matter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t crack a smile every once in a while! Doctor Strange takes himself way too seriously and never seems to have any fun – even when he’s saving the world from destruction. Lighten up, Doc!
5. He’s A Terrible Leader
As the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, you would think that Doctor Strange would be an excellent leader – inspiring his fellow heroes and guiding them through tough times. But nope, not our guy! Whenever there’s trouble brewing or danger lurking around the corner, he tends to panic and make rash decisions instead of taking charge like a true leader.
6. He’s Always Talking About “The Mystic Arts”
We get it; you’re into magic and stuff but do you really need to mention “the mystic arts” in every other sentence? It’s like talking to someone who just got back from Burning Man for the first time.
7. His Catchphrase Is Lame
Every superhero needs a good catchphrase – something catchy that they can say before they go into battle or save the day. Unfortunately for Doctor Strange, his catchphrase is anything but cool: “By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth!” Seriously? That sounds like something your grandpa would say after eating too much chili.
Despite all these awkward traits though, we still love Doctor Strange because at the end of the day he always manages to come out on top (and save us all from certain doom). Plus, let’s be honest – without him we wouldn’t have some of Marvel’s most epic storylines.
So here’s to you Doctor Strange – keep being awkward and embracing your weirdness because it makes us love you even more. And who knows, maybe one day you’ll finally learn how to pronounce your own name correctly!
