History WesternAnimation / DoctorStrangeTheSorcererSupreme

* BecomeTheirOwnAntithesis: In this iteration, Stephen became a surgeon specifically to try and save his sister's life after many skilled but expensive doctors refused to treat her. By the present day however, he has ended up exactly like those doctors as he doesn't care about saving people, mainly [[spoiler:since he feels guilty over his failure to save April]].

* BecomeYourOwnAntithesis: In this idea, Stephen became a surgeon specifically to try and save his sister's life after many skilled but expensive doctors refused to treat her. By the present day however, he has ended up exactly like those doctors as he doesn't care about saving people, mainly [[spoiler:since he feels guilty over his failure to save April]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: The Ancient One.

* StupidEvil: Mordo's reasons for siding with Dormammu over the Ancient One are not only petty, but rather impractical. Frankly it's amazing Dormammu actually took him up on his offer of an allegiance in the first place. Since other than killing the Ancient One, Mordo really couldn't offer the demon any real advantage over Strange anyway. Essentially, the only "good" use Dormammu got out of Mordo was the latter making it plain as day that Stephen was actively waking the former's coma victims.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Mordo betrays his master and allies after being treated like a despised mad dog for much of the film and being rejected as a candidate for being the next Ancient One despite years of training and loyalty.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Stephen, when all hope for repairing his hands seems lost. He attempts jumping off a bridge. Thankfully, Wong uses his magic to stop him.]]

* BrokenBird: Stephen is a male example after his accident. Without his hands, he's a husk of a man who tries to commit suicide before Wong saves him and offers to take him to the Ancient One. [[spoiler:It's turns out his original frosty front was a result of him being this before his accident, as he's been living with the guilt of failing to save his sister.]]

* BrokenBird: Stephen, after his accident. A male example.
* ButtMonkey: Mordo, even more than usual. He considers himself the leader of his team, but they seem to regard him with little more than mocking contempt, he thinks that the Ancient One intends for him to be Sorcerer Supreme but when he tells him the Ancient One just laughs in disbelief, saying that he never even considered him for the role. Instead, he puts him to work training Strange in the art of magic and combat and despite his hands being wounded, Strange is able to use magic to effortlessly defeat him. Humiliated, Mordo turns to Dormammu and helps him escape into the world but when Mordo and Strange fight again, Strange again [[CurbstompBattle curbstomps him]] at which point Dormammu gets bored and announces "YouHaveFailedMe" before putting Mordo out of his misery by eating him as Wong watches with a SlasherSmile. Honestly Dormammu probably felt embarrassed for the guy and Mordo was probably relieved at this point.

* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler:Poor April Strange died in Stephen's youth. She's basically the reason why Stephen is... well, [[{{jerkass}} the way he is in the present]].]]

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the comics, Stephen's sister Donna died while swimming and having a cramp caused her to drown. In the film, his sister April suffered from a tumor and died during surgery while Strange was her doctor.

* {{Jerkass}}: Mordo. To a lesser degree, Stephen Strange himself at the beginning of the film.

** [[spoiler:Mordo]] has no problem killing the children, partly because of practicality and partly because he's insane.

* DiesDifferentlyInTheAdaption: In the comics, Stephen's sister Donna died while swimming and having a cramp caused her to drown. In the film, his sister April suffered from a tumor and died during surgery while Strange was her doctor.

Dr. Stephen Strange, a neurosurgeon falls victim to a car crash that injures his hands, making him incapable of performing complex surgery. Looking for a cure, he instead finds a higher calling as the new Sorcerer Supreme, the top master of the mystical arts.

* ButtMonkey: Mordo, even more than usual. He considers himself the leader of his team but they seem to regard him with little more than mocking contempt, he thinks that the Ancient One intends for him to be Sorcerer Supreme but when he tells him the Ancient One just laughs in disbelief, saying that he never even considered him for the role.

Humiliated, Mordo turns to Dormammu and helps him escape into the world but when Mordo and Strange fight again, Strange again [[CurbstompBattle curbstomps him]] at which point Dormammu gets bored and announces "YouHaveFailedMe" before putting Mordo out of his misery by eating him as a dying Wong watches with a SlasherSmile. Honestly Dormammu probably felt embarrassed for the guy and Mordo was probably relieved at this point.

* CaptainErsatz: At the start of the story, Stephen Strange is basically a more sociopathic version of Dr.House.

* RedshirtArmy: The Ancient One's disciples. None of them have any names[[note]]except for Adena, the one who died trying to protect the Ancient One[[/note]] and only appear for one purpose, to die horrible deaths to drive the point of how dangerous the situation is.

* StupidEvil: Mordo's reasons for siding with Dormammu over the Ancient One are not only petty, but rather impractical. Frankly it's amazing Dormammu actually took him up on his offer of an allegiance in the first place, since other than killing the Ancient One, Mordo really couldn't offer the demon any real advantage over Strange anyway. Essentially, the only "good" use Dormammu got out of Mordo was the latter making it plain as day that Stephen was actively waking the former's coma victims.

* AdultFear: Hundreds of children are being placed in a coma like state by an inter-dimensional demon.

** At the end, Wong tells Strange about a new student named Clea.

* RedshirtArmy: The Ancient One's disciples. None of them have any names and only appear for one purpose, to die horrible deaths to drive the point of how dangerous the situation is.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Mordo, despite being a LeeroyJenkins GeneralRipper jerk supreme, makes a lot of solid points about being proactive in fighting in light of Dormammu sending more of his monsters into the world in preparation of his arrival while the Ancient One and his other disciples are content to try and tank whatever monsters come as they go. He's also correct in that Dormammu's increase in activity is a result of the Ancient One's failing health.

* KillEmAll: At the end, [[spoiler:every single named Sorcerer other than Strange and Wong are dead.]]

'''Mordo:''' ''(to the Ancient One)'' You are ill. Your time draws near. I believe Dormammu knows this and is the reason he is making his move now!\\\\
