Doctor Strange Was So Powerful That Marvel Banned Him From Civil War
Marvel's Doctor Strange is one of the most powerful superheroes on Earth — but when the world needed him most, he vanished. The famous Sorcerer Supreme possesses immense and awe-inspiring magical abilities that could easily turn the tide of a single battle, and has single-handedly saved the day on numerous occasions. But in Marvel's Civil War event, the good doctor was nowhere to be found; exactly where did he go and why?
During an otherwise-routine battle between the New Warriors and a group of supervillains, the villain Nitro exploded, severely damaging a school and killing 600 people, many of whom were students. In the wake of the disaster, the American people are suitably outraged and the government responds with the Superhero Registration Act: a law requiring all heroes to reveal their true identities to the government. Captain America leads a faction of anti-registration superheroes against Iron Man's pro-registration group, and Marvel's Civil War event begins.

Namor doesn't care about the outcome - it's a surface word situation to him - and Doctor Strange disagrees with Stark's position completely. «It's wrong.

To the death.» Stunned that Reed Richards agrees with Stark, Strange teleports elsewhere, asking the Illuminati not to contact him further.
