Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Characters That Might Beat Thanos

3. Doctor Strange

We currently do not know the limits of the Cinematic Universe's Doctor Strange just yet, but it has been confirmed that he will be able to travel to other dimensions and realities when his solo movie debuts, so already we have a scenario where Strange will be able to teleport Thanos to a place where he would be unable to return. Now, that's not to say that Strange is just going to walk up and poof Thanos out of reality with a wave of a wand, but the Sorcerer Supreme has faced the likes of Shuma Gorath, a being that is arguably stronger than Thanos, and lived. If we do get an Infinity War that ends with Doctor Strange teleporting Thanos away, it will likely be during a big fight where everyone is protecting him as he sets up whatever is needed to make the portal that will get rid of Thanos. The reason I'm leaning towards this possibility is because the last two Avengers films hinged on pretty much the same concept. The Avengers have to protect a certain point over a span of time until they're ready to activate the thing that saves everyone, only this time the thing would be Doctor Strange. We've already seen a very similar concept like this play out in Thor: The Dark World when Jane Foster and her group of hipster friends set up some spike gadgets to focus the portals opening up into the nine realms into specific areas, so it isn't too much of a stretch for Strange to be able to do nearly the same thing on his own.
