Doctor Strange, Earth’s Guardian [Avengers Defenders War 051]

Oh hey look how Strange, another Doctor…

It is very hard not to fall in love with most of these title characters. They are built like primes, very cost effective and tend to do things that lend a major helping hand to your team. Doctor Strange, Earth’s Guardian is another of these fascinating pieces. I’ve already droned on about my love for Doctor Strange, but I must say this feels like a very definitive version.

He isn’t built like a primary attacker, but his 7 range with Probability Control and Penetrating/Psychic Blast make him a strong secondary with support features that grant him or his allies an extra bump in damage. When it comes time for the inevitable enemy onslaught, depending on the situation he can spend plot points to give all adjacent friendly characters the Mystics team ability (which he has naturally). I find his utility to be quite pervasive. And there isn’t a bad click on his dial. Personally I prefer to turn in 4 plot points for a super Prob, as that is always useful.

Furthermore, the sculpt is excellent, mimicing the cover of “Doctor Strange: Last Days of Magic.” All-in-all it is one of my favorites of last year, and an easy go-to figure.
