One might be tempted to shrug that off as silly superheroes trying to sound "big" except Strange has some very... let's call them suitable spells.
The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak I seem to recall being described as the stronger you are the tighter they bind you. Its a careful wisdom will get you out of it and your brute strength will be turned against you.

I added Engineering skill based on Intelligence to my D&D basically for Him and Odysseus.
You do realize that was a joke I made, Heracles's 13th labour was said to be Heracles bedding 50 Princesses in a single night, getting them all pregnate.

Well I suppose building things and bedding are rather divergent pass times LOL....
Though both "productive"

I think Heracles is sometimes identified as Chthonic and it may the association with fertility ... though also be stories about seeing supernatural things like death and wrestle it directly to effective heal the mortally sick (could be a description of extreme medical help rendered like modern resuscitation procedures). Or because he was portrayed as talking to Odysseus in Hades? hmmmmm that now sounds like some getting to know oneself in an OBE.

Oh man. Those are such chaos fests sometimes.
Imagine...
4 people all clammering to figure out how they are going to bed large numbers of people and associate it to "skills". My mind's eye is being assaulted! XD
