Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes

WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Normally I would start off by talking about the character of Susan Storm themselves, however I wanted to make a little confession.

WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m probably going to say this over and over again but that would be because growing up I was always more of DC fan than Marvel, but I never had much of an idea who Doctor Strange was. However, I don’t think I could imagine someone else playing him …
