Doctor Strange Considers 1 Marvel Movie Hero “The Scariest Man I’ve Ever Met” (including Mephisto)

From the depths of hell to entire dimensions of eldritch monstrosities, Doctor Strange has seen (and often fought) the most chilling horrors the Marvel Universe has to offer – but none of them scare him as much as Wolverine. Asked his opinion on the best there is, the Sorcerer Supreme was candid that he considered the X-Men’s hard-living hero the scariest individual he has ever known – including Mephisto himself.

The admission was in 2011 Wolverine #16By Jason Aaron and Goran Sudzuka. In this issue, Logan’s current girlfriend – investigative reporter Melita Garner – interviews various Marvel heroes to produce a biography of Logan’s life. The Avengers and X-Men try to sum up how they feel about Wolverine, especially Doctor Strange calling him, “The scariest person I’ve ever met. And I literally shook hands with the devil.”

Strange’s is one of the most negative views of Logan, although several other heroes have choice words, with Hulk branding him “a #@&$”Hawkeye scowling at him “a killer” And Emma Frost confirms that he “Smells Exactly like a slave.” Finally, Wolverine rejects all their summaries, except for Namor’s, admitting that (thanks to his incredibly hard adamantium-covered skeleton) he is a terrible swimmer. Instead, Logan says he prefers to think of himself as a work in progress.

Doctor Strange considers Wolverine to be the scariest person he has ever met

Their first meeting justifies why Strange would fear Logan

It makes sense that Strange would find Wolverine intimidating — while the two technically worked together in a group setting in stories like Infinity Gauntlet And Contest of ChampionsTheir first one-on-one meeting was at Roy Thomas, Jean-Marc Lofficier and Geof Isherwood’s Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme #14Where A brainwashed Wolverine breaks into Strange’s bedroom and tries to kill him. While they end up sharing a drink after beating the demons that directed Logan’s attack, waking up to the berserk’s attack clearly made an impression on Strange.

However, Wolverine’s heroic career is only the tip of the iceberg. Before joining the X-Men, Wolverine was captured and experimented on by Weapon X, who brainwashed him into acting as a loyal soldier. As part of his role with Weapon X, Logan acted as a ‘dog handler’ for the group – traumatizing and recruiting viable targets to become live weapons. Although these operations were not carried out under Wolverine’s free will, they are some of ​​the darkest moments in Marvel history, and it is likely that thanks to his powers, Strange has some idea of ​​​​Logan’s crimes.

Interestingly, Strange’s admission about Wolverine pairs with a more recent admission (in Jed McKay and Pasqual Ferry’s Doctor Strange #5) that he is afraid of Doctor Doom. Doom and Wolverine have both literally traveled to Hell to save those they love, showing an unstoppable will power and no limits to what they will do when they feel it is necessary. Indeed, Wolverine’s rage is so powerful that it was used by the mystic swordsman Muramasa to create the Muramasa Blade, which is capable of cutting at the molecular level. Logan has no magical gift, but he is much more than just a normal person.

Doctor Strange is pretty scary himself

Strange has taken to saving the world much more than any other hero

While Strange may consider Wolverine scary, it’s likely partly because he sees some of himself in Logan. Both used to call themselves to go further than other heroes. Indeed, when the multiverse was threatened by the events of the Insurrection, Strange led the world-destroying Black Priests and even killed another world’s Superman to protect his own reality. He is also far more brutal in his dealings with his enemies than almost any other Avenger – for example in Matt Fraction and Terry Dodson. Defenders #4Where Strange traps a rival sorcerer in a glass jar, adding him to a collection of hundreds of other intruders that he has seemingly imprisoned forever..

Some heroes have strong moral boundaries that they will never cross, even if the world comes to an end, but Wolverine and Doctor Strange are not among them. Both live on the edge, facing terrible threats that they sacrifice their humanity to keep away from innocents. Doctor Strange is worth considering Wolverine One of the scariest men in existence, since Logan’s combination of razor sharp claws and willingness to suffer any amount of harm to protect others make him unstoppable once he sets his sights on a threat.
