Core Analysis
Stephen Strange is a brilliant surgeon whose loss of control forces him into mysticism, humility, and the burden of guarding reality.
Strange begins as skill fused with narcissistic identity. Injury destroys the role that made him superior, pushing him toward a wider reality he cannot dominate by talent alone.
His maturity is strategic sacrifice: he learns to lose on purpose, bargain with time, and choose outcomes larger than personal triumph.
