The Rise of Dark Strange: A Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange Short Story by Warren Woodhouse (Short Stories) (Stories)

 Short Story by Warren Woodhouse


Please leave your thoughts in the comments. Thanks!


It’s the final battle with Dormammu. As Doctor Strange faces Dormammu in the Dark Dimension, instead of using the Time Loop to bargain with Dormammu, he becomes enamoured by the Dark Dimension’s power. Sensing Dormammu’s immense might, Strange's curiosity and ambition get the better of him. Rather than trying to banish Dormammu, Strange seeks to understand and harness the power for himself.


Strange proposes a deal to Dormammu — not just to leave Earth but to share his knowledge and power. Dormammu, intrigued and sensing an opportunity, agrees. Strange returns to Earth, but he is changed. His once bright eyes now gleam with a hint of darkness.


Back on Earth, Strange begins using his newfound powers for more than just protecting the world. He starts experimenting with dark magic, initially justifying it as a means to an end. But the power begins to corrupt him. He grows more distant from his friends and allies, including Wong and Mordo.



The spirit of the Ancient One visits Strange, warning him about the dangers of dark magic. Instead of heeding her warning, Strange dismisses her, declaring that he has surpassed even her wisdom. This encounter marks his full descent into villainy.



Strange, now fully embracing his new identity as Dark Strange, begins amassing followers who are drawn to his power and charisma. He seeks to reshape the world according to his vision, believing that only he knows what is best for humanity.



Wong, Mordo and the other sorcerers unite to stop Dark Strange. The final battle is intense, with magic clashing in a spectacle of light and dark. Despite their efforts, Strange’s power is overwhelming. In a climactic moment, Strange stands victorious, the world at his feet, but at the cost of everything he once stood for.



Christine, feeling a sense of loss and grief for the one she once loved, stands up against Strange, trying to negotiate with him and have him back down, even turning the pain he caused her against him. Strange, now enraged, uses all of his immense magical power and evaporates Christine out of existence!



The world is left in a state of uncertainty and fear, governed by the enigmatic and powerful Dark Strange. The heroes are left to pick up the pieces and a new era of darkness begins.

White Shadows Review (Game Reviews) (Reviews)

Review by Warren Woodhouse

  • Rating: 8/10
  • Difficulty: Depending on if you want to platinum the game on the PS5, 2-3 hours
  • Type: Puzzle; Steampunk; Platformer; Indie


I saw the trailer in December of 2025 and decided to take a chance on the game. Usually I’m not one to jump into a unknown game by an unknown developer but sometimes I do.

I found it rather enjoyable, sometimes stressful with timing of the jumps, especially to complete certain puzzles but otherwise entertaining and fun. I would personally love to see a spin-off, sequel or a prequel at some point.

Tin-Pot Empire (Phrases)

A tin-pot empire is a small, weak or fake-seeming realm or organisation led by someone who acts very important but lacks real power. The phrase uses "tin-pot" to mean cheap, flimsy and low quality while combined with the word "empire" to mock a grand rule that is actually tiny and silly.

Slakebuster Trophy - Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Guide

 Guide by Warren Woodhouse


To trigger Drax's Call-to-Action against the Slakebeast, you’ll need to weaken the beast in Chapter 3 by lowering the beasts health until it’s very low or until you’ve filled up the Stagger meter, wait for a random Triangle button prompt upon staggering it and then press the Triangle button when Drax steps up to perform the move. The Call-to-Action is chosen at random, if this happens, just reload your last checkpoint. If you’re struggling to unlock this trophy, you can low your difficulty level and then wait until your other Guardians have fell down during combat, so that Drax becomes active again.
