10 Doctor Strange Fates Worse Than Death
3. Banishment To A Specific Time, Place, Or Dimension
The list of superpowers and mystical abilities Doctor Strange has on-hand changes all the time, but he rarely loses any while adding new ones whenever a story calls for it. One of the core abilities Strange has held for a long time is banishment, but it's far more complicated than simply sending someone away.
Doctor Strange can banish someone to a specific place, time, or dimension at will. He has been known to do this with just a few words leaving his lips, and a person disappears to wherever he wants. Granted, the target can hear it coming, as he audibly requests help from the Vapors of the Vishanti:
"Let the vapors of the Vishanti drive you from the sight of man! Let the mystic Hosts of Hoggoth prevent you from ever returning again!"
Banishment doesn't necessarily equate to a fate worse than death, but it really depends on how creative Strange wants to get with it.
He can banish someone to their bedroom, or he can send them straight to the Dark Dimension or any other horrific setting found throughout the Marvel Multiverse. Depending on who/what he banishes, they may never be able to return, leaving their fate up to the Master of the Mystic Arts.
