History

Little is detailed about Stephen’s life before the zombie plague arrived on Earth-2149, however it can be presumed that it followed much the same path as Doctor Strange (Earth-616).

Presumably, Dr. Strange receives a call from Nick Fury to join the resistance aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, while in his Sanctum, and leaves to join them.

With the extremely varied bunch all assembled on the Helicarrier, Nick explains how serious he believes the situation to be; that it is the end of the world. He also explains that whatever the histories of those assembled, they are all on the same side.

It can also be assumed that he was part of the team sent back down to the surface to battle the zombies, unsuccessfully, it would seem as when Beast and Mister Fantastic find a sizeable stash of meat in Latveria and the surrounding area, a zombified Strange and a huge horde zombies head off to lay siege to Castle Doomstadt.

Unable to gain access to the fortress, Strange gets attacked by the re-animated corpses of the Deadite Legion, though apparently this is more of an inconvenience than anything else, as he is returns to New York seemingly none the worse for wear (other than a touch of zombification, obviously).

In New York, Strange joins up with a small group of zombies including Spiderman. When Spiderman catches Reed Richards in his webbing as the young Mr Fantastic is lost in the ruined city. Unfortunately Reed gets away when Magneto drops hundreds of cars on the massed zombie horde.

Strange is later seen as part of Kingpin's undead alliance and as a result of Magneto's wrath can only perform two spells, one of which allows viewers to see into other universes which becomes an essential tools to Kingpin's plans.

Notes

• The character of Dr Strange was created by Stan Lee, and Steve Ditko.
• The zombified Dr Strange of Earth-2149 first appeared in Ultimate Fantastic Four:Crossover by Mark Millar and Greg Land.
• Reality-2149 was created by Mark Millar and Greg Land, in Ultimate Fantastic Four: Crossover.
• Curiously, as the Eye of Agamotto can only be worn by a pure person in the Earth-616 reality, it appears such restrictions do not apply to the infected reality, as Strange is seen wearing it at his every appearance (however, more likely the writers for the Zombie series lacked such subtle knowledge or did not deem it significant)
