10 Things Marvel Wants You To Forget About Doctor Strange
2. Benjamin Franklin Stole His Girlfriend
This isn't the first time Steve Englehart has appeared on this list and it won't be the last either.
One of his arcs involved Doctor Strange and his then girlfriend Clea travelling through time to discover the occult history of America. Their journey took them to the 1800's where they bumped into Benjamin Franklin.
However, before Strange could nerd-out over meeting one of the founding fathers too much (he still managed to put in a solid effort though), the ship they were on was attacked by an evil wizard. While Stephen went to deal with it, he told Clea to stay behind and protect Ben.
Despite being a walking encyclopedia on Benjamin Franklin, Doctor Strange apparently completely forgot about his incredible way with women and, in no time at all, the first American had Clea in his bed.
Englehart left the book before he had a chance to finish the story and his replacement, Marv Wolfman, retconned Clea getting it on with history's most notorious horndog as just being an illusion Doctor Strange was shown.
That didn't stop later writers referencing it though and even Ben Franklin himself confirmed it happened when he teamed up with Deadpool.
