Also, in regards to that soldier incident, the context in which Strange hears about it is whilst being told about potential patients. He turned this one down for some reason (can't remember what), but his assistant would have said flat-out if it was one of the Avengers, and Strange certainly wouldn't have turned down such a high-profile case such as this.
Nope. No way was it Jim Rhodes.
Edit: Guy on IMDB has it spot-on:
Quote:
I don't believe that was a reference to Civil War, the War Machine armour is worldly known by this point so it wouldn't be referred to as "experimental armour".
I believe it was reference to Justin Hammers pilot who had his spine twisted in Iron Man 2 which would make sense as the time then taken by Strange to learn magic would send the timeline straight after Civil War for the climatic battle.
Otherwise Doctor Strange is set multiple years after Civil War which would not make sense as to Thors post credit scene ect.
