Doctor Strange's (MCU) physical AP and Durability

[Naitez]

Since Spino suggested that I make a revision thread instead of making changes to his profile, I'll do so.

I noticed that Strange's Infinity War key has 9-A durability and AP for surviving being hurt by Ebony Maw and Thanos. However, he can't scale to those characters physically and none of what they've done to him can't be calced or determined by just looking. I suggest just keeping him at 9-C. If you say otherwise, please come up with a satisfactory justification.

ByAsura explained that those spikes could kill any human, which includes Cap. I forgot his reasoning, you can ask him to comment here.

 

[Naitez]

Anything sharp enough can pierce anything. Those microsurgery needles could probably pierce Iron Man.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

As I said, you should ask ByAsura because it was he who suggested 9-A for some reason.

 

[ByAsura]

I didn't suggest 9-A, i was actually saying something more on the lines of resistance to pain manipulation or something like that.

Also, it wouldn't really include Cap, Ebony never met him, but he met Spider-Man.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Oh okay, you said it could kill any human or something like that.

So 9-B maybe for Doctor Strange?

 

[ByAsura]

I said Ebony Maw said it could kill the humans, they were going right through Doctor Strange (not opening wounds though), but he didn't die.

Seems fine and is extremely consistent.

I'll try find the scene.

 

[ByAsura]

Here's him taking multiple of the needles.

"Painful aren't they. They were originally designed for Microsurgery, and anyone of them... could end your friend's (Iron Man and Spider-Man in this context) life in an instant."

 

[Naitez]

I think he was specifically talking about Strange at that moment. It's not really possible to evaluate the AP of really sharp surgical instruments.

 

[Antvasima]

It is hard to evaluate thin cutting objects rather than blunt impacts.

 

[ByAsura]

He wasn't talking about Strange, it was literally the opposite in the context, since Iron Man literally just appeared while he said that, and strange was getting stabbed by several.

The point isn't that he could withstand it, they were easily going through him. The point is that it's probably a resistance feat.

 

[Antvasima]

So, should we downgrade Doctor Strange to being physically 9-B?

 

[ByAsura]

I would agree with that, it's fairly consistent with him surviving casual telekinetic rubble.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Do any other profiles need to be adjusted accordingly?

 

[ByAsura]

Ebony Maw.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Spino, do you want to handle this?

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Yes, but let me eat lunch first

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Finished lunch. Will handle this.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thanks.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Done

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. Should we close this thread then?

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Yes

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.
