With today being St. Valentine’s Day, it’s time to, once again, look into the romantic life of our favorite Mystic Master. People tend to call it “Valentine’s Day” and forget that it’s a day named after a man (well, there were actually several “St. Valentine’s" and no one is 100% sure which of them did what exactly, but at least  one of them was a man who)… was granted Sainthood for being martyred due to conducting secret marriages in defiance of Roman Emperor Claudius II. Thus, I thought it would be appropriate to highlight an instance when Dr. Strange risked his life in the course of true love.

However, since the day isn’t named after a horn-dog lothario like Don Juan, but instead St. Valentine, who was a man who helped others unite (giggety), we’ll not look at how Doctor Strange got his heart on, (giggety) [as I did in this old post {HERE},] but instead aided other young lovers, torn apart by the iron grip of a harsh regime.

In AVENGING SPIDER-MAN # 8, by writer(s) Ty Templeton & Dan Slott and artist Matt Clark, we find that Dr. Strange had the Princess Lenka of Symkaria, who is bestowed with high-mystic-potential (she’s the 7^th daughter of a 7^th daughter [yes, like a Biblical prophecy, Sinbad the Sailor, or Iron Maiden]) to be raised in secret, but now that she is 21, her father (who doesn’t believe the mystic mumbo jumbo) traded her to Doctor Doom as a peace offering between Symkaria & Latveria.

Strange hired Silver Sable to sneak the princess out of her country before the wedding to Doom (since Doom would do nasty things to her [no not THAT!, get your minds outta the gutter] in order to steal her mystic energies or whatnot).

Doctor Strange instructs that for the mystic energies to be safe, the princess must marry someone she loves, so, Doctor Strange and Silver Sable want to pay Spider-Man to be the new husband (since the princess has seemingly had a crush on him for the past 6 years), but Doom is not about to lose what “is his”.

Of course, it turns out that she doesn’t really love Spidey, she just thought he’d stand a better chance against Dr. Doom than her real love; Marek (a pastry boy in her father’s castle).

This is when Doctor Strange then reveals that actual LOVE is imperative in this “special marriage” because it must be consummated – physically (y’know… that stuff you thought Dr. Doom was going to do to her. Yowza!). 

So, Strange is totally pimping love and looking every inch the part in his classic duds and porn ‘stash.

But it isn’t all hearts and flowers here… Doctor Strange (and, y’know… Silver Sable & Spider-Man) have to battle against a pent-up Doctor Doom, in order for the young lovers to get secretly married in the basement safe at their Embassy and then… have Marek shoot his “cupid’s arrow” into Lemka’s… oh, you know what.

Despite Doom’s mopping the floor with them, the battle between Doom and the heroes is only stopped when Doom realizes that the newly married royal couple have… um… royally coupled.

It is then that the Doctor of Love... Doctor Strange knows that his work here is done.

With that, we here at the
