Eh, sort of.


So the "leaving a criminal tied up on the steps of the police department" thing is entirely legal, it's just evidence collection that superheroes would need to be careful with.

(Law and the Multiverse is a great blog for anyone interested in this sort of stuff, by the way.)

Hum, so if a random private individual 'arrests' someone who commits a crime in front of them, this can count as a legal arrest as long as they're willing to testify in court about it and presumably some evidence remains of the crime in question? It seems tricky because there's plenty of crimes that don't leave much/any hard evidence, so it'd be the word of two private individuals against each other.

I guess the only case where it really comes into play in reality is arresting people who are actively assaulting someone, or are already wanted (so, bounty hunters). But I thought bounty hunters needed some sort of license.

Has Strange ever actually shown insight or expert knowledge about the human brain that might be expected from a neurosurgeon?

I always figured that Stan Lee needed his surgeon to sound really brilliantly impressive so he made him a neurosurgeon, but it's a wholly separate subset of expertise from like a hand surgeon or cardiac surgeon. He should be Wolverine's go-to guy for amnesia questions.

Maybe brain stuff just clashes with magic stuff too much. Never! :doom:

Strange kinda touches on this slightly in Deadpool's run when dealing with Deadpool's massively hosed up brain, but he would honestly have fit better as a former psychiatrist there.
