"They are not," Strange says, with a shake of his head. A brash and smug little smile crosses his face as he points out, "Fortunately, I am not a commonplace man."

Okay captain ego. The idea of 'be a little modest' or 'don't brag about yourself' has never crossed Strange's mind. He's a magician! One of the most powerful magicians there is. Why would he not brag about himself? Besides, this is simply an objective fact!

"There are very few magicians in my realm. Until recently, I was the only magician in hundreds of years to enter the realms of Faerie."
