2* Strange isn't virtually omnipotent anymore, but all of his old opponents still are, and there is no hero with both the scale of power, skill, and stability to reliably stand against them anymore. Brother Voodoo, ComicBook/TheSentry, and Molecule Man are dead, Legion is insane, ComicBook/ScarletWitch is recovering but still mentally fragile, [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Wiccan]] is still coming into his power, Hulk is a one-trick pony, generally nowhere near his infinite upper levels of power, ''and'' insane, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Franklin Richards]] is still a child, ComicBook/TheMightyThor doesn't possess the Odinforce anymore, ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules only briefly possessed that scale of power, [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Nico Minoru]] is too inexperienced, and powerful as the ComicBook/SilverSurfer may be, he couldn't even make Dormammu notice his attacks. Finally resolved with the end of Bendis' ComicBook/NewAvengers, which saw him restored to his title as Sorcerer Supreme. Though the idea of a Sorcerer Supreme -- one solitary man or woman protecting the Earth against unspeakable threats -- is scary in and of itself.
3** Fortunately, he has the gods on his side. All of them. Though that's only ''usually'' enough. And he has a long line of people ready to take his place the moment he falls.
