dr. Stephen strange the soft taco
chalupa Crunchwrap sorceress supreme
well he's bought zombies save the planet
and even performed surgery on the cosmic
entity eternity this master of the
mystic arts turned Avenger set aside his
old money-grubbing days to protect earth
and all who inhabit it day except for
that time he could have cured all
diseases and decided not to I'm Jocelyn
sorceress and intern and I do all the
research nobody else wants to straight
from the desk of death battle so the doc
has done some forgive me strange things
but nothing in his cannon is as weird as
his relationship with Wong his
manservant no the further back in comics
you go the more you stumble on to some
shitty behavior from your favorite
heroes but even in a comic run as recent
as 2007 one is referred to as slave boy
and even refers to his own job as
servitude but despite all of these
uncomfortable examples Doctor Strange
has continually cared for Wong and even
once chose to save his life over the
lives of billions in a limited series
called the oath Doctor Strange walks
into the library as Wong slaves away
doing his slave thing but instead of
having Wong do his laundry or scrub a
cauldron strange asks about Wong's
bottle of meds used to treat brain
tumors
turns out Wong's brain is busted and
he's been hiding his sickness from the
doc strange gets a little teary-eyed at
the idea that someone would have to come
to replace Wong as his manservant if he
died so the duck vows to save Wong which
by the way he does right after hurling
the bottle of meds onto the ground
yeah I mean come on Wong's the one who's
gonna clean that up right come on dude
anyway so the two tracked down this
magical potion that strange thinks is
the cure for cancer turns out it's
actually the cure for every single
disease known to man what
so naturally everyone and their evil mom
wants their hands on this thing
including a guy named Nicodemus West who
get this is the very same doctor that
failed to save strange his hands oh and
what did West do after that he went on
to study the mystic arts too these two
are two peas in a pod or two rabbits and
a hat with a bat and a 64 Impala yeah
anyway West wants to destroy the potion
to both prevent overpopulation and to
make sure there's enough sick people on
earth and to keep his job geez if you
asked me that West family's a real piece
of work so West employs a freelance
thief to steal the potion but things go
south when he's discovered and I [ __ ]
you not
this dude whips out the gun that Hitler
killed himself lip pops off around into
dr. strange and swipes the potion
apparently this pistol has enough
negative mojo inside it to penetrate dr.
Strange's defenses there's not a ton of
explanation beyond that we're just
supposed to accept magic Nazi gun and
move on but if you really think about it
this gun killed Hitler like why does it
have negative mojo should this thing be
glowing with the collective fangs of
humanity like hey gun thanks for killing
the most evilest guy ever anyway in
order to save his life Wong takes
strange to Linda Carter the night nurse
not the lady who played Wonder Woman
after a quick operation it's back to
recovering the super juice but cancers a
[ __ ] and right as they track down the
potion which is now in
Dimas West's hands long starts getting
really sick and ends up passing out at
one point they mentioned that Wang is
too weak to survive a trip to the
hospital gee if only there were some
mystical mobile hospitals specifically
designed to keep people alive while
being transported or I don't know if you
could think teleport so Doctor Strange
and Nicodemus throw down on a rooftop
until wouldn't you know it the potion is
spilled gasp there's only one drop left
because of course there is and strange
has to decide to either use the drop to
replicate the potion and cure all of
humanity of literally everything or save
his manservant who by the way had a
replacement already lined up as you
might expect strange honors his
Hippocratic oath and decides to set
aside his own no no no he doesn't he
saves his manservant and screws humanity
so the doc and Wong live on to reinforce
stereotypes another day but it turns out
strange really does care for Wong though
he might want to consider treating him
like more of a sidekick
so people don't call him things like
slave boy just a thought dog fun fact
strange also used the Hitler gun after
his magic failed to take down a demon
beast that burned down the night nurses
hospice strange pulls out the gun which
no one knew he had and shoots the demon
with a single shot he vows this is the
last time he uses a gun and then turns
it into fireflies
