A Clash of Omnipotence: Rune King Thor vs Black Priest Doctor Strange

In the vast expanse of the Marvel universe, two beings stand out as near limitless deities: the Rune King Thor and the Black Priest Doctor Strange. While speculative, this article explores the estimations of their powers and abilities to determine who would emerge victorious in a hypothetical clash.

Rune King Thor: A Being of Infinite Omnipotence

Rune King Thor, Thor Ragnok, or simply RKT, is described as an near omnipotent omniversal or beyond Hoi (higher independent existence) level being. His power is substantiated by several key events in Marvel comics and mythology:

Defeating Shadow Gods: Thor Ragnok defeated shadow gods celestial beings, who themselves claimed to come from 'Beyond' and are known as Hoi beings. Even three beyonders working together can defeat the Living Tribunal, a powerful cosmic being. The Living Tribunal, known as TWAIS (The Witness And Incorrect Spell), states they were nearly omnipotent, but still required effort to defeat Ragnok. Outside: An Illogical Plane: Ragnok is known to have entered and used 'Outside' - a plane beyond all realities and dimensions. Loki, a powerful god who can rewrite multiple multiverses, was unable to rewrite Ragnok's actions and defeat him in the fight against the Tribunal. Supreme Cosmic Powers: Ragnok's destruction of the World Tree is an omniversal feat. As the World Tree is a structure that connects every plane of existence and contains paths to infinite dimensions, levels of reality, and even universes, Ragnok’s single-shot destruction of it is a testament to his power. Additionally, he has the combined spirits of Thor and Odin, allowing him to affect almost every plane of reality. Manipulation of Multiversal Fates: Ragnok’s actions often lead to the erasure of entire plots and fates, indicating his control over not just reality but also multiversal fates. Even when he interacts with these fates, they do not affect him, showcasing his true omniscience.

Black Priest Doctor Strange: A Max-Multiversal Level Being

The Black Priest Doctor Strange, a powerful sorcerer and visionary, is also considered a max or max-high multiversal level being. His powers, while formidable, are often portrayed as significantly less than Ragnok’s. However, it’s conjectural and often debated in the Marvel community:

Reality Warping: Strange is known for his ability to manipulate reality, though not on the scale of Ragnok. He has demonstrated the power to destroy realities, but such feats are less frequent and more likely limited to specific contexts. Combat Abilities: In several instances, Strange has defeated armies and even powerful entities, like Black Winter, who can absorb universes and is heralded by Galactus. Limited Abilities Against Ragnok: Despite Strange's immense powers, he would likely struggle to hold his own against Thor Ragnok. For example, when Loki’s army, armed with powerful Uru weapons, came close to Thor, the entire force was disintegrated almost instantaneously, despite Thor not directly engaging them.

Conclusion: Who Would Win?

Determining the outcome between Ragnok and Doctor Strange is a matter of conjecture, but based on the available information, it leans heavily in favor of Ragnok. Ragnok's omniscience, manipulation of multiversal fates, and his near omnipotent status make him a formidable opponent. Even when facing a situation where he nearly had his reality manipulated, he managed to retain his position, further emphasizing his immunity to such actions.

While Doctor Strange has shown incredible prowess and has defeated formidable adversaries, his power pales in comparison to Ragnok's. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that in a direct confrontation, Thor Ragnok would emerge victorious.

Key Takeaways:

RTH (Rune King Thor) has an almost omnipotent status and controls multiversal fates. Doctor Strange, while powerful, operates at a lower multiversal level compared to Ragnok. Ragnok’s destruction of the World Tree and actions beyond reality indicate a greater power and control.
