Benedict Cumberbatch Reveals What Makes Doctor Strange A Superhero

Fans of the character are aware  that Doctor Strange is known as Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme, and as such is responsible for protecting the world of magic as well as guarding against it when necessary.
To accomplish that task, Strange has a bevy of tools and mystical items at his disposal, but actor Benedict Cumberbatch doesn't see those as the ultimate reason that Strange belongs in the superhero realm. Cumberbatch described just why the good doctor belongs in the Marvel Universe to Entertainment Weekly.
“This man reaches the very bottom and then more,” says Cumberbatch. “You think, How much more can this guy take? He’s broken, he gets up again, he’s broken — and that’s really what makes him a superhero. A lot of people have asked me, ‘What makes him a superhero?’ That’s really the answer I should have given. It’s not the Cloak of Levitation. It’s not the Eye of Agamotto. It’s about his staying power. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. The guy endures so much.”
