Doctor Strange Trivia Quiz

Answer: Strange Tales

"Strange Tales" #110, July 1963 was the first issue that starred our favorite mystic. "Strange" was a mini-series that came out in 2004 with a reworked origin story. "Doctor Strange" was Doc's regular magazine that came out in several volumes (1968-1968, 1974-1987 and 1988-1996). Each volume failed to maintain necessary circulation numbers and was cancelled. "Marvel Premiere" was an anthology series where Marvel tried out characters and storylines before giving the go-ahead for their own magazines.

Answer: Captain America

Captain America is a superhero dating from World War II. He has not been involved in magic at any time in his career as an apprentice to anyone, let alone our favorite Doctor!

Clea is an other-dimensional princess from the Dark Dimension, where she met Doctor Strange("Strange Tales" #126, November 1964).

She aided Doctor Strange against his arch-enemy, The Dread Dormammu and subsequently became his lover and apprentice. Kyllian Kell Boddicker was Doc's apprentice for a short time to get better control of his druidic powers. The story is told in "Doctor Strange Annual" #3, 1993

Answer: The Ipod of Agamotto

There is no such thing as the Ipod of Agamotto. The Eye of Agamotto is the enchanted amulet he wears now (since "Strange Tales" #127, December 1964). The Amulet of Agamotto is the original enchanted amulet that Doctor Strange is using during his first story in "Strange Tales" #110, July 1963.

The Orb of Agamotto is the scrying crystal that Doctor Strange uses to perform magical surveillance around the world and into other dimensions. Located in the Chamber of Shadows at Doc's Sanctum Sanctorum, it first appeared in "Strange Tales" #118, March 1964.
