Victor Von Doom, Marvel’s First Family’s primary antagonist, is set to debut within the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the recently revealed Avengers: Doomsday (or in Fantastic Four: First Steps if theories are to be believed), marking the beginning of a new era of the franchise as it moves away from Kang The Conqueror. If that announcement wasn’t exciting enough, the actor portraying Marvel’s next big supervillain is someone who portrayed the Infinity Saga’s biggest hero – Robert Downey Jr. With the Russo brothers returning to direct both Doomsday and Secret Wars, hope for the MCU is slowly returning.
Victor, more commonly referred to as Dr. Doom, has a long and complex history in Marvel Comics, debuting on July 1st, 1961, in the fifth issue of Fantastic Four. This series kicked off the Marvel Age and debuted as Marvel’s very first ongoing superhero comic, created by the now-infamous Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Doom’s primary goal is world domination, like many iconic supervillains. Still, he has so much depth, decades of character development, countless iconic comics, and so much more, making him such a great character. Doom has faced off against Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and other groups, and has even seen him spend time as a hero. This is a character worth fans learning about before his incredibly exciting MCU debut.
Furthermore, Stan Lee’s writings often showed that it was Doom’s arrogance that led to his defeat, with his obsession for superiority leading to his disfigurement and failures. Over time, as the superhero genre grew and Marvel Comics became more expansive, Doom’s motivations changed, becoming more complex and targeted. Doom grew to outlast most villains the Fantastic Four faced, becoming their primary foe and Reed Richards’s arch enemy, and began appearing in different comic book series after gaining popularity. Despite many iconic supervillains like Magneto and Thanos debuting through the decades, Doom has remained the most terrifying, constantly returning in attempts to enact his vengeance upon the world.
