What is the name of the superhero who is also a doctor and master of mystic arts?

Doctor Strange is the superhero who is also a doctor and a master of the mystic arts. His civilian identity is Stephen Vincent Strange, a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon who becomes one of Marvel’s foremost defenders against supernatural threats.

Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Doctor Strange first appeared in Strange Tales #110, published in 1963. His origin begins with a car accident that severely damages the nerves in his hands and ends his surgical career. Searching for a cure, he travels to the Himalayas and encounters the Ancient One, who teaches him magic and spiritual disciplines.

Strange eventually becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth’s dimension against mystical dangers. He operates from the Sanctum Sanctorum at 177A Bleecker Street in New York City and uses artifacts such as the Eye of Agamotto and the Cloak of Levitation.

Doctor Fate is a different mystic hero from DC Comics, while Doctor Doom is a Marvel villain and ruler of Latveria. Baron Mordo is closely connected to Strange’s origin as a rival student of the Ancient One, but he is not the doctor who becomes the master of the mystic arts.
