Marvel's Avengers: 10 Heroes The Game MUST Include

Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme himself, is perhaps the most exciting character to contemplate appearing in Marvel's Avengers.

The Stan Lee/Steve Ditko creation is synonymous with high concept action, with the character able to hop between realms and conjure all sorts of spells and incantations to defeat a given threat. Add in his killer wardrobe, the perfect facial hair and the kind of powers on display, and you have a must-have inclusion for the new Avengers title.

Narratively speaking, Strange's importance sort of goes without saying. He's been both an Avenger and a Defender, while his solo comic has constantly reiterated his importance to the wider Marvel universe. Practically speaking, through, he could yet fill a vital role in the Avengers' roster.

Every co-op title needs a character who can cast spells, heal and just generally support their teammates. Strange could be that support character, but one who's able to get down and dirty with the forces of evil whenever necessary.
