“	How many nights did we sit in the Sanctum Sanctorum, Time Stone in the palm of our hand, knowing we could go back, gathering the courage? Well, I had the courage. I spent centuries, sacrificed everything for Christine.	„

Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, also known as Strange Supreme, is the deuteragonist in Season 1 and the main antagonist in Season 2 of the Disney+ animated series What If...?. He is an alternate version of the Sorcerer Supreme who became obsessed with resurrecting Christine Palmer after her death, going as far to absorb other beings to reach the potential to break the absolute point.

Though successful, his actions resulted in the destruction of his universe, and Palmer dying once again. While mourning the loss of his universe within the mirror dimension, he was greeted by Uatu the Watcher, who recruited him and other alternates to stop Infinity Ultron from destroying the multiverse. Once Ultron was defeated, Strange was tasked by the Watcher to watch over a pocket dimension that contained Arnim Zola and Erik Killmonger, whom were trying to obtain the Infinity Stones.

He was voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch, who also portrays his Earth-199999 counterpart and Defender Strange, and also played Sherlock Holmes from the titular TV series, and also voiced Classified from Penguins of Madagascar and The Grinch from the titular 2018 animated film.

When disguised as Christine Palmer, he was voiced by Rachel McAdams (who portrays the character from Earth-199999 and her 838-counterpart, and also played Jessica Spencer from The Hot Chick and Lisa Reisert from Red Eye), and when disguised as Steve Rogers, he was voiced by Josh Keaton, who voices HYDRA Stomper and different versions of the character, Spider-Man in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Anduin Wrynn in the World of Warcraft series and Valerian Mengsk in the StarCraft series.

Biography[]

What If...? Season 1[]

Background[]

The history of this Stephen Strange is similar to his Earth-199999 counterpart, becoming one of the world's most brilliant neurosurgeon's, and later starting a romantic relationship with his colleague Christine Palmer. When taking her on a dinner date, the two ended up in a car accident where Strange remained unharmed, but Palmer was killed in the incident. Stephen became grief-stricken from Christine's death, and became determined to find a way to bring her back to life by traveling across the world. He came upon the Masters of the Mystic Arts, where he was under the tutelage of the Ancient One until her death, and he later became the sorcerer supreme by defeating Dormammu.

Downfall[]

Despite his success in protecting Earth from the evil entity and becoming sorcerer supreme, Strange was still heartbroken over his loss of Palmer two years later. While reminiscing his time with Christine, Strange decided to use the Eye of Agamotto to go back to the night of her death. Stephen attempted to change the events of the night, but found that Christine would perish in all of his attempts to make a change. During his last attempt, he was greeted by the Ancient One, who informed him that Christine's death is an "absolute point", meaning she was meant to die so Strange could join the Mystic Arts to defeat Dormammu. He refused to believe that he couldn't break the absolute point, telling the Ancient One that he intended on going back in time to acquire knowledge from the past.

When preparing to use the Eye of Agamotto, the Ancient One used power from the dark dimension to split him in half, thus making a paradox version of Strange that acted as his good side. Going back in time, Strange met with the librarian O'Bengh, and learned that one could break the absolute point by absorbing other beings. While absorbing beings from other dimensions, Strange became powerful enough that he felt the awareness of Uatu the Watcher. Centuries passed as he continued to absorb beings, and was informed of his other half by a dying O'Bengh. Strange Supreme encountered his paradox version, who explained to him that by trying to resurrect Christine, he would cause the end of this universe. Ignoring his warnings, Strange Supreme battled his paradox version and successfully merged with him, allowing Supreme to break the absolute point.

Though Strange managed to resurrect Christine, the stability of his universe crumbled, killing everyone as Uatu the Watcher watched. Strange Supreme begged Uatu to help him, but the Watcher informed the sorcerer that he was warned, and that interfering could cause more disastrous consequence. Using his magic to keep a small part of the land together, Christine asked Strange what he had done before dying once again, leaving him sobbing and regretting his actions.

Saving the Multiverse[]

Strange Supreme would remain in the mirror dimension until he was greeted by Uatu, who explained that he was out of options of stopping Infinity Ultron, an alternate version of the artificial intelligence that gained the power of the Infinity Stones and started to destroy universes. Supreme then asked him was he ready to break his oath, and once Uatu hesitantly agreed, Strange awaited for the Watcher as he brought other alternate heroes to fight Ultron. Uatu formed the Guardians of the Multiverse that consisted of Strange Supreme, Captain Peggy Carter, Prince T'Challa, Black Widow, Thor Odinson, Gamora and Prince Erik Killmonger. While giving a toast to his teammates, Thor accidently alerted their presence to Infinity Ultron, leading the team to fight the artificial intelligence.

During the battle, Strange and his allies were able to fend Ultron off long enough for Black Widow to shoot an arrow into Ultron's eye, allowing Arnim Zola to transfer his consciousness into the AI. Moments after, Killmonger betrayed the group in his attempt to gain the Infinity Stones from Zola, and Strange proceeded to place the two in a pocket dimension where they battled for the stones for eternity. Strange then realized that Uatu knew every step of what would happen and knew that they needed to keep the stones from Ultron, and agreed to watch over the pocket dimension from being destroyed.

What If...? Season 2[]

He returns in the ending of the episode "What If... Kahhori Reshaped the World?", where he goes to Kahhori's world. He openly states that he was impressed by Kahhori achieving world peace in record time and that he's been looking for her for a long time.

In "What If... The Avengers Assembled in 1602?", he finds Captain Carter and claims that he got a story to tell her.

He makes his final appearance in "What If... Strange Supreme Intervened?", where he brings Carter to the Sanctum Infilorum. There, he tells Carter that he has captured universe-killers to atone for destroying his own universe. However, one has escaped and asks Carter to go after them (which turns out to be Kahhori). He brings them both back and attempts to imprison Kahhori with the intent on feeding her to the Forge to create his universe. Carter frees the universe-killers in an attempt at distracting Strange. Carter gets acces to Killmonger's Infinity Stones and arrives at the Forge, battling Strange there. Hela, alonside alternate versions of Hulk, Thor, and Xu Wenwu give Kahhori and Carter their weapons. Strange is eventually defeated and sacrifices himself to stop his demon form from killing both Carter and Kahhori. It's revealed that his universe was revived after his death.
