@BringnIt: In this case, the OP states that it's a new version of Dr. Strange, so yea you're right, but I don't think the comparison you made to referencing Classic Dr. Strange to Rune King Thor is fair. Classic Strange appears in comics written by freaking Ditko and Lee, the original creators of the character, so that powerful abstract-fighting version of him is what the character was originally intended to be, and it's how most people rightly think of the character. Pretty much all the abstracts in the Marvel comics were created so that Classic Strange had someone to fight, so it'll take more than a couple of irreverent new writers for people to stop thinking of Dr. Strange as who he was. RKT is new, so it should be a stretch to immediately think of that version of the character when someone mentions Thor.
Just saying, give Doc Strange fans a break...if Spider-man was retconned years from now to be somehow weaker than Daredevil, and you saw a thread "Spider-man vs Green Goblin" and everyone was saying how the goblin stomps, you would be tempted to mention how the original (real) version of your favorite character would win.
@ShootingNova I agree, current strange loses, classic would win however.
