Read more about Stranger at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel The Stranger is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Stranger first appeared in X-Men #11 (May 1965), and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The character is a cosmic entity and principally a scientist and surveyor of worlds, first visiting Earth out of curiosity. After an encounter with the X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, who first think he is a powerful mutant, the entity departs, taking the supervillain Magneto and his servant Toad off-world for further study after encasing them in special cocoons. The same title depicts Magneto's escape and return to Earth using a spaceship he repairs when the Stranger leaves the planet and leaving the Toad behind, although the Stranger recaptures the villain after Professor X telepathically alerts the Stranger. The Stranger reappears in the title Tales To Astonish, becoming convinced that mankind is dangerous and sets out to destroy the Earth using the creature known as the Hulk, allowing a better race of humanity to take over. He transports to Earth a machine that increases his mental power over the Hulk. The character is dissuaded from this course of action by the Hulk's alter-ego, Bruce Banner. However he takes the supervillain Abomination into space with him, thinking him truly evil. In the title the Silver Surfer, the Stranger again attempts to destroy the Earth, on this occasion using a powerful "Null-Life" bomb. After a battle with the Silver Surfer and learning that a human scientist sacrificed himself to defuse the bomb, the Stranger retreats.
Stranger has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
