10 Times Doctor Strange Outsmarted Everyone
6. Killing A Super Skrull Without Proper Magic - Doctor Strange (Vol. 5) #3
On the list of aliens you could beat as a regular human, Skrulls are notably absent - especially Super Skrulls, whose transforming abilities and super strength make them considerably stronger than your average bear.
This doesn't stop Strange from taking one down, though - and with none of his Sorceror Supreme powers, having lost them almost entirely at the beginning of the fifth volume of the comic.
This said, the magician does get a little help, in the form of the Time Stone, whom the Skrulls had been studying before the battle begun. While this is a significant power boost, it's only one to Stephen because he understands how to use it properly - meaning that if it weren't for Strange's tactical abilities, the relic would have been about as much use as any other rock.
As such, the Master of Black magic essentially wins the fight because of his ability to understand and manipulate time-space continuums, reminding us that his intelligence is just as dangerous as his magical abilities.
