He was just thinking in terms of “make it go away!”I also don’t think Strange’s action was all that out of character either. It’s possible he was taking a broader view - e.g. Spider-Man can’t do his job as a superhero if he’s constantly being harassed and accused of being a bad guy when he isn’t. I expect he wasn’t just doing it to help a friend but to help the world at large because it needs the good guys to be able to do their jobs effectively.</blockquote>
