Fictional character biography
The character is a cosmic entity and principally a scientist and surveyor of worlds, first visiting Earth out of curiosity.[2] After an encounter with the X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, who first think he is a powerful mutant,[3] 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 (leaving Toad behind). However, the Stranger recaptures the villain after Professor X telepathically alerts the Stranger.[4]

The Stranger reappears in the title Tales to Astonish, becoming convinced that mankind is dangerous and sets out to destroy the Earth using 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.[5] 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.[6]

In the title Fantastic Four the Stranger aids the superhero team against the entity the Overmind,[7] and in Thor watches as the Thunder God battles the character's servant of the time, the Abomination.[8] The title The Avengers features a story in which the Toad impersonates the Stranger and battles the superhero team.[9] The true Stranger encounters the Kree warrior Captain Marvel in the title of the same name,[10] and in Marvel Team-Up encounters the hero Spider-Man when trying to obtain the Soul Gem from Adam Warlock.[11]
