SHUM...My all-time favorite Dr. Strange villain is:<br /><br />SHUMA GORATH<br /><br />However, I also have affinity for - <br />Silver Dagger.<br /><br />And I have the hots for -<br />Dreamweaver.<br /><br />However, I absolutely love the HOUSE of SHADOWS! - A bad guy who fought Doctor Strange AND (many years later) ROM : SPACEKNIGHT.<br /><br />Kaluu is a mixed-bag because as much as he was a foe, he has been Strange's mentor as well (during the amazing Strange Tales v2 era).<br /><br />I could go on and on, but like your poll so aptly notes, Doctor Strange's most DIRE villains are his editors!<br /><br />Feel free to visit my Doctor Strange centric blog, filled to bursting with Strange goodness each and every post!<br /><br />~P~<br />Sanctum Sanctorum Comix<br />http://sanctumsanctorumcomix.blogspot.com/<br /><br />http://twitter.com/SanctumBlog~P~https://www.blogger.com/profile/09299078564477985626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-7814494127319981282012-01-07T14:23:21.248+00:002012-01-07T14:23:21.248+00:00Oops!

Baron Mo...It's between the top 3 Ditko baddies.<br />Baron Mordu: Trained by the Ancient One, he was whupped one time to many by Strange and became more of an annoyance than a great villain. <br />Dormammu: The opposite of Mordu, the dread ruler of the dark dimension has too much power for Strange to tackle one-on-one. <br />Nightmare: My pick. Bizarre and from another dimension, he poses a constant threat to the good Dr. and he doubly threatening when encountered in the dream dimension.Boston Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-10735569830744543512012-01-04T06:05:08.261+00:002012-01-04T06:05:08.261+00:00Definitely the Dread Dormammu.

That early Strange Tales story where Mordo and his spectral agents pursued Strange across the globe is one of my faves.<br /><br />But, the real winner has to be the lord of the Dark Dimension. An arrogant, flame-headed demon-god? Dormammu really is one of comics' greatest villains. The famous scene from Strange Tales #146 where Dormammu takes on Eternity him/itself is one of the most iconic moments of the Silver Age.<br /><br />Mind you, judging by recent years' comics, you could say Dr. Strange's greatest foes are Marvel editors who don't have a clue about how to handle the character...Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-10666319582946733782012-01-03T22:24:44.415+00:002012-01-03T22:24:44.415+00:00Gotta be between Nightmare and the Dread Dormammu ...Gotta be between Nightmare and the Dread Dormammu although I have a soft spot Baron Mordo also - The Silver Dagger story was brilliant - McScottyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-78445648868371813792012-01-03T18:02:38.691+00:002012-01-03T18:02:38.691+00:00Yandroth the Scientist Supreme: nice use of contra...Yandroth the Scientist Supreme: nice use of contrast.
