1. Dracula
Dracula has had several run-ins with Doctor Strange over the years in the comic books and it would be really interesting to bring the classic horror character to the Marvel cinematic universe to co-exist with the likes of Hulk, Thor and Iron Man. The Count is a mediocre sorcerer with gypsy magics (the ability to turn in to a bat or mist, the ability to hypnotise and a reliance on spell books to cast his more powerful spells), slightly superhuman physical statistics and good hand to hand skills being his main powers and abilities. He also has the other basic powers and weaknesses that come with being a vampire (such as being immortal, unless he is staked through the heart or exposed to sunlight etc). He is no real threat in a straight-up battle against Doctor Strange (not in the comics anyway - a novice movie version of the character could be a different matter entirely), but his preparation and scheming abilities give him the means to borrow power and become a legitimate threat to the Sorcerer Supreme. Dracula has followers and, in the past, he has used them to gain power that has enhanced his physical statistics to a level that enabled him to shrug off hits from Colossus and beat him down using physical strength alone, and if he had that kind of plan in the Marvel cinematic universe he could become a mighty opponent for Strange to start off against. So there you have it - five alternative villain ideas for the Doctor Strange movie. Did you like these ideas?
