Doctor Doom

Background

”Origin of Doctor Doom”

Dr Victor von Doom was a lowly gypsy boy from the tiny European country of Latveria. His mother, Cynthia von Doom, gave her soul to the demon Mephisto in return for the power to rid Latveria of its brutal leader. After she died, Cynthia's soul was claimed by Mephisto and taken to Hell. Victor was desperate to save his mother and attempted to travel to Hell via a machine that he invented. It backfired and slightly scarred his face. He blamed his rival, Reed Richards.

The scar humiliated the vain Victor, who traveled to Tibet to find monks that could make armor to cover (what was in his mind) a horrible mutilation. Doom is a megalomaniac on a grand scale. He is the dictator of the Kingdom of Latveria and the traditional foe of the Fantastic Four (Mr Fantastic, the Thing, Invisible Woman and the Human Torch. (Fantastic Four Annual (vol. 1) #2)

”Marked for Destruction by Doctor Doom!”

Whenever Spidey has had to face Doom, he survived by avoiding him as much as possible. He met the good Doctor very early in his crime fighting career, after Doom decided to use Spidey as an ally against the Fantastic Four. He promised Spider-Man that after they defeated the accursed Four, they would rule the world. Of course, he had no intention of keeping his end of the bargain, and Spidey realized it. His refusal to help made them enemies. Peter escaped out a window and disappeared into a river.

Meanwhile, Flash Thompson planned to play a trick on Peter Parker, by wearing a Spider-Man costume. Naturally, Doom saw Flash, thought he was Spider- Man and kidnapped him. He broadcast a threat on TV, claiming that unless the Fantastic Four came to him, he would kill Spider-Man (he still didn't know "Spidey" was Flash). Telling Aunt May that we going out to get some light bulbs, Peter changed to Spidey and got into Doom's hideout via an air duct. (For a guy that plans everything so carefully, Vic sure was careless.) They battled to a stand still, until the Fantastic Four arrived and Doom fled. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 1) #5)

”The Book of the Vishanti”

Spider-Man tangled with Dr Doom while he was a student at Empire State University, but he never knew it. Not only is Doom a near matchless scientist, he is also a top notch magician. Victor had created a machine that could transport a human being to the dark dimension of The Dread Dormammu, a supernatural being of incredible power. Dilby, a short man that looked like a tentacle-less Doctor Octopus, was the guinea pig and was quickly granted power by Dormammu. Dilby had a very special mission on earth that Doom and Dormammu had in mind.

Dilby created a machine from his new found magic and sent it to battle earth's Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange. Strange was quickly taken out, but not before he sent a psychic plea to anyone that could help. Daredevil and the Fantastic Four couldn't get the message, but it was "received" by a grad student named Peter Parker. He had to cancel his date with Deborah Whitman in order to save Dr Strange at his Sanctum Sanctorum. Upon arriving, he found Strange's assistant, Wong, beat up on the floor. He mentioned that Strange had said "C.B.G.B." right before he was kidnapped by Dilby's machine.

C.B.G.B. was the name of the rock bar that he had planned to go to Deb with, and there he found a band chanting the words "Bend Sinister," and leading people away as if in a trance. (The band's name was "Shrapnel" and they were a real group.) Spidey gets a creepy feeling from all of it, and follows the ever growing horde of zombies as they walk through Manhattan. They led to the Latverian Embassy, where Dilby was summoning the Bend Sinister and preparing to sacrifice Dr Strange.

Spidey showed up and Dilby sent the robot after him, which Spider-Man commandeered and crashed into the crystal that is summoning the Bend Sinister. Strange sent Dilby to another universe and thanked Spider-Man for his help. Unfortunately, he couldn’t tell him what the Bend Sinister was. It was just too terrible to talk about. Meanwhile, Doom received a gift from Dormammu: a small crystal containing Dilby. This was his punishment for trying to double cross his masters and keep the power for himself. Doom kept him as a souvenir. (Amazing Spider-Man Annual (vol. 1) #14)

”Triumph and Torment”

After years of failing to save his mother, Doom turned to Dr. Strange for help. They went to Hell to save Cynthia’s soul and Doom stabbed Strange in the back by giving his soul to Mephisto. His mother was sickened by it and Doom went to save him. After they escaped, Cynthia’s soul was cleansed and set free. Doom and Strange went their separate ways. (Doctor Doom and Doctor Strange: Triumph and Torment)

”Acts of Vengeance”

Loki formed a team of super criminals to destroy Spider-Man and the Avengers. He recruited Red Skull, Magneto, Kingpin, the Wizard, the Mandarin and Doctor Doom. Less imposing criminals were broken out of prison to fight the heroes. (One of them was Titania, whom Doom had created while on Battle World.) Specifically, they were sent after vigilantes they were unfamiliar with and whose tricks would catch them off guard. The vigilantes were taken by surprise by these new enemies but defeated them before moving on to the heavy hitters. Meanwhile the villains fought amongst themselves, particularly Magneto and Red Skull. In the end they were all defeated and Doctor Doom had sent a Doombot in his place. (Acts of Vengeance Omnibus #1)

”Lethal Protector 2”

Doom hired the Vulture to steal medical data on Eddie Brock from Kelner Scientific Innovations. He told Vulture he had been useful and advised him to stay that way. (Venom: Lethal Protector #1)

He next sent Vulture to Blessing Hospital to find information on their longevity research. Vulture was confronted by the vigilante called Cardiac and their fight took them outside. They were at a standstill until Doom arrived, saying he shouldn’t have sent a minion to do a master’s job. (Venom: Lethal Protector #2)

Sending electricity from his gauntlet, he scolded Vulture for disappointing him. Vulture was late in arriving with the information so Doom took maters into his own hands. Vulture said it was a minor setback and promised to get him the information after he killed Cardiac. Doom didn’t have the patience for that and sent a water tower tumbling onto Cardiac. Disappointed as he was, Doom’s troops had acquired the doctor that they had come for. The mission was still a success, so he merely fired Vulture instead of killing him. Later, Doom’s limousine drove up to Brock, and Doom told him that he had done extensive research into his bond with the symbiote. He had a proposal for him: eternal life. (Venom: Lethal Protector #3)

”Man of Steal!”

Years later, Spidey avoided being hunted by Victor by promising to find the Black Fox, who had stolen the Dragon's Egg, an emerald that belonged to Doom's mother. The Fox escaped from Doom, whom took his frustration out on "the prancing mite." (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 1) #349)

“Doom Service!”

The police arrived just as Spidey was getting beaten to a pulp. He played on Doom's vanity, and told him that the jewel theft would get to the press, smearing his beloved mother's name. He agreed to let Spider-Man go, if he would get the Dragon's Egg back in 24 hours. Unfortunately, the Fox had already sold the emerald. Spider-Man and the Black Fox tracked the emerald to the headquarters of Andrew Carpathian, who planned to use the gem to power a machine that would wipe out everyone on the planet except for his cult members. Despite the throbbing pain of the concussion he gained from fighting Doom, Spidey held his own against the cultists. His head was spinning from the pain, but rescue came from a very un-expected person: Dr Doom. He easily scattered the Carpathian's goons and claimed his emerald. Seeing it beneath him to kill an old man, Doom instead crushed the Trask diamond, which the Fox had planned to fund his retirement. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 1) #350)

”Time Enough?”

Several years after that, Mary Jane got a modeling contract in Latveria but the plane she was on blew up before it arrived in the European country. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 2) #13)

Peter refused to believe she was dead, and jumped on the next plane to Latveria after getting a call saying that she was alive. Arriving at Doom's castle, he was surprised by a rebellion that planned to attack the castle. Doom's robotic guards battled the rebels and Spider-Man went into action to protect them. After all the fighting was done, Peter learned that Mary Jane was not in Latveria. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 2) #15) (Peter Parker: Spider-Man (vol. 2) #15)

Eventually, Mary Jane was found to be alive, held by a kidnapper. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 2) #29)

”Stand Tall”

After the terrorist attacks in 2001, the heroes of New York assembled to help save lives after the towers fell. Some villains showed up, such as Magneto, Kingpin, Juggernaut and Doctor Doom. Doom shed a tear, but didn’t help the recovery effort. It seems strange that he was there at all. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 2) #36)

”Doomed Affairs”

She needed time away from the stress of Spider-Man and she moved to California. However, she went to New York to see Peter after watching the news and seeing his ordeal with Shathra. Through a twist of fate, they met in the Denver airport, their flights grounded by a storm. The reunion was cut short by the arrival of Doctor Doom, who was attending a conference on global warming. He was attacked by a suicide bomber, who demanded that Doom "FREE LATVERIA!"

The attack left Doom unconscious, and Spider-Man defended the dictator with the help of Captain America, who was posing as one of Doom's guards. Armored assassins came in wave of attacks on the fallen dictator, which Spidey and Cap managed to hold off. After Doom came to, he offered Spider-Man a debt of gratitude. Doom used it immediately by not killing the web slinger after he told Doom to take his gratitude and stick it. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 2) #49)

”Secret War”

Spidey faced a Latverian despot again after it was found that Lucia von Bardas was selling advanced weapons technology to New York's super criminals with the help of the Tinkerer. (Doom had been deposed while all of this was going on.) von Bardas had been trying to increase disorder in America with the help of the underbelly of society. SHIELD responded by sending various super vigilantes to Latveria in the Secret War. They were greeted by Doctor Octopus (Carolyn Trainer), Scorpion, Shocker, Hobgoblin V and many others. (Secret War #1-#5)

”Without a Trace”

Victor later tried to sell one of Spidey's used spider-tracers to the highest bidder. Peter was alerted to the danger by the Black Cat but he was unconcerned. After all, he had dozens of spider-tracers available. The two of them broke into the Latverian embassy to steal it back, and were confronted by one of the Dr's Doom-bots. Afterward, Peter was convinced that the situation was serious after Felicia showed him that a finger print was on the tracer, which could have revealed Peter's ID. (Spider-Man Unlimited (vol. 3) #14)

”Secret Invasion”

Doom's influence increased after the Skrull Secret Invasion. He became part of a secret cabal led by Norman Osborn and was made up of Namor, Emma Frost, the Hood and Loki. (Secret Invasion #1-#8)

”Ends of the Earth Epilogue”

Doom also ran afoul of Spider-Man, Dr Strange and Silver Sable when he tried to marry Princess Lenka of Symkaria. Lenka was the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter and thus had great magical potential, possibly as a future Sorcerer Supreme. Lenka's father didn't believe in such magical nonsense and engaged his daughter to Doom for political reasons. Dr Strange hired Sable to bring Lenka to New York to keep her safe from Doom. Spidey brought Lenka's boyfriend to her to be married (he was in New York to be kept safe from Doom) and the wedding was underway at the Symkarian Embassy when Doom attacked. Sable, Spidey and Strange kept Doom at bay while Lenka and her new husband consummated the marriage. She was now useless to Doom and he left, promising them all that they'd made a powerful enemy. (Avenging Spider-Man (vol. 1) #8)

”Axis”

Victor was forced to help against the Red Skull after the Nazi had taken control of the brain of telepath Charles Xavier and become Red Onslaught. Red Onslaught destroyed the mutant homeland of Genosha and soon defeated the X-Men and Avengers with the help of two adamantium Sentinels created by Iron Man. Magneto soon arrived with the unexpected help of various super villains: Loki, Absorbing Man, Carnage, Sabretooth, Deadpool, Mystique, Enchantress, Hobgoblin, Jack O'Lantern VI, and Doom himself.

Doom stayed away from the majority of the fighting, letting the other villains dirty themselves with the battle against the Sentinels. He tried to turn the tide with the help of the Scarlet Witch, who had been imprisoned inside one of the Sentinels. They cast and Inversion spell that they hoped would make Xavier's mind dominant over the Red Onslaught's, ending the attack. The spell did seem to knock out Red Onslaught, who returned to his Red Skull form. It also made the other villains mysteriously return to their places of origin, with their minds geared toward good as opposed to evil. (Axis #3)

”Point Blank”

The Chameleon was working with Countess Kharkov of Symkaria to escalate tensions between Latveria and her country. (She believed that a war would rally the country behind her.) Chameleon disguised himself as a bureaucrat at the United Nations and condemned Latveria of human rights abuses. A Latverian politician interrupted and announced the arrival of Victor von Doom. Outside of the U.N., the Hitman waited to have a shot at the dictator. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 5) #33)

"Target: Doom"

On Kharkov's order, Hitman took his shot at Doom, hitting him in the chest and knocking him to the ground. Working on a hunch, Spider-Man arrived at Doom's side. Despite the efforts of Latverian security, he took the head off of the figure, proving it to be a Doombot. ("See, everybody? No reason to send flowers. Remember--it's always a Doombot with this guy. I don't think that the real Doctor Doom has left his apartment in years. Just Hulu all day and all night.") The robotic head jolted Spider-Man and the headless robot reattached it's head, telling everyone that a reckoning was coming. Spider-Man was guarded by the fortunate arrival of Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man from 2099. Miguel explained that this event was going to have drastic effects on the future, and caused a time anomaly. At that moment, he faded away and the Doombot exploded. This didn't improve anything, as thousands of Doombots floated above the city. They broadcast a message from Doom, telling New York that he had been insulted and a great crime had been committed. An enormous hologram of Doom appeared above the city, demanding justice. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 5) #34)

"Doom's Day"

New York's various heroes dealt with the robots while Spider-Man and his sister, Teresa, sought out the Chameleon. After finding him, he explained that he hadn't pulled the trigger, that honor belonged to Hitman. He led them to Hitman, who had committed suicide. (His mind had been downloaded to the cloud and could be sent to a cloned body.) Spider-Man conveniently remembered the device called the "clairvoyant" that he had been working on with a classmate, which he happened to have with him. It had been supercharged after Miguel blew up. (Ugh.) It mapped out potential endings to a current situation but had the risk of tearing open reality. Using the clairvoyant somehow connected Spider-Man to the A.I. called Lyla that Miguel used in 2099. She helped him find the most likely solutions to the situation. One possible idea was using Hitman's body and Chameleon to trick Doom into thinking that the situation was finished and the killer had been caught. Doom didn't buy it and incinerated all of them. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 5) #35)

"Time After Time"

Spider-Man and Lyla agreed that that idea had been a bad one and tried other scenarios. All of them ended with Spider-Man dead and Doom triumphant, or even better off. He eventually came up with the crazy idea of letting Doom beat him to a pulp and then tell him that it was all a set up. It had a 51% chance of success. As Doom held Spider-Man by the throat, Spidey told him that it was a trap. People behind the scenes wanted him to cause so much damage on live TV to make him look even worse and justify war with Symkaria. He played Doom's ego, telling him he was being manipulated. The dictator left, but not before ordering his Doombots to take his anger out on New York's cultural centers and infrastructure. Civilian casualties were avoided, part of the Doombots precision.

Later, Kharkov explained to the bedridden Silver Sable that Kharkov's plan had worked. The bullet that shot the Doombot was meant to infiltrate the machine's cybernetics, letting her control Doom's robotic army. He would know that his forces had been compromised but his ego wouldn't let him admit it to anyone. He'd rather have a war with Symkaria than admit that he had lost control of his forces. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 5) #36)

”See Latveria and Die”

While having a feast in his castle, Doom interrogated Doombot 7 after Eddie Brock arrived in Latveria. He had escaped the Doombots at the airport and the robot self destructed for failing its master. Brock, now bonded to a symbiote called Bedlam, smashed through Doom’s dining room door. Doom greeted Brock as a fellow king, as he had defeated Knull and become the new King in Black. Eddie helped himself to dinner and explained that being the King in Black gave him the ability to time travel but only via his mind. He needed to help his son, Dylan, but needed his body to move through time as well as his mind. He demanded to use Doom’s time machine and the dictator refused. He asked Brock if they should finish dinner like civilized men or begin immediately.

The fight began immediately. Doom summoned the Awful Arm of Azathoth, which gripped Brock/Bedlam and began crushing them. Bedlam broke its fingers, which impressed Doom. He would remember that tactic the next time he was in Hell. Brock had been an amusing diversion but had outstayed his welcome. Bedlam broke through a wall, chiding Doom for keeping his magic room next to his laboratory. Doom hit him with a magic blast and said that his disintegration would be quick and mostly painless, as his patience was nearly gone. He scolded Brock, saying he should have finished dinner. Brock wasn’t hungry but Bedlam was. It lunged at Doom, giving Brock time to study the time platform. Doom forced Bedlam away and mocked Brock for thinking he could fly a time platform. Brock didn’t know if he could fly it but he could crash it. Smashing the control panel, he and Doom began to disappear to a time unknown. (Venom LGY #224)

"The Butterfly Collectors"

Doom and Eddie crashed into the late Cretaceous and Ed sarcastically asked about his driving. Doom explained that he had driven nothing but the time platform began repairing itself as soon as it had been smashed and guided them to an emergency landing. Doom reminded him that he had insulted Doom's hospitality and would die for it. Doom again attacked Eddie and Bedlam, but they were interrupted by a tyrannosaur bonded to the Venom symbiote. Eddie claimed to know nothing about it, despite it calling his name. Doom had sworn to kill a Venom and the dinosaur would work just as well. Eddie saw that the time platform had been repaired and Doom attempted to leave him in the past, but Bedlam smashed the control panel again, sending them to a new era.

In 1942, onboard a Royal Airforce plane over France, a symbiote called Flexo was dropped to the ground. An enraged Doom dealt with Nazi soldiers, disgusted by their ideology and mocked their leader, the Red Skull. Flexo met with Bedlam, who told him that he was the King in Black, so Flexo had to obey. The symbiote stayed silent, so Bedlam read it's mind and found it was working for the British and assigned to assassinate Hitler and high-ranking Nazis. Bedlam feared they had altered the end of the war and rushed to Doom, telling him they had to prevent themselves from arriving in 1942. Arrogantly, Doom was unconcerned with Bedlam's fears but was forced to jump to a new time. After they left, Flexo went on his way.

Doom arrived in an unknown place, outside the Latverian Embassy. Inside the embassy, Doom encountered his younger self, who assumed that he was a wayward Doombot. The younger Doom realized who he was facing when Doom knew the passcode for the Doombots. Doom estimated, judging on the younger Doom's clothing, that he was roughly fifteen years in the past, soon before he had attempted to recruit Spider-Man. Doom silently pondered his younger self. Naturally the young man was infallible, yet inferior to himself. The younger Doom began to threaten him and he had the young man call Reed Richards. This infuriated young Doom, whose attack finally impressed Doom. He cast a spell to put him to sleep, knowing he would remember nothing. Even an amateur Doom was dangerous. He was actually sympathetic, knowing that he would never bow to an older Doom either.

His time platform returned to him and he found Eddie in New York in the same time period. (Eddie had been conversing with a teenage Peter Parker.) Doom refused to allow him to return to the present on his time platform but transported them to one of Kang's warships. He saw that Kang had raided Doom's future tomb and taken the artifacts, unimpressed with how he'd used them. Kang arrived and refused to help, despite Eddie claiming that they were close buddies. Other Kangs arrived to help and Doom was unimpressed with his methods. They were eaten by the Bedlam symbiote. Kang got tired of the situation and took them to see his collectable antique, the "time sled" once used by the Fantastic Four. (Doom said it's haphazard design must make it handle like an oil tanker.) Kang was going to let Eddie use it, on condition that he take a sample of Bedlam. The symbiote was suspicious but Eddie allowed it.

After Eddie returned to the twenty first century, Doom asked Kang why he needed a sample of Bedlam when he already had so many symbiotes at his disposal. Kang said it wasn't a typical symbiote and had a role to play, calling it a little rascal. Doom returned to his time, still sore that "a lowly American thug" like Brock had disrespected him. He arrived in New York at Times Square, sensing a battle of symbiotes. His magic told him that Brock would either be saved or damned beyond saving. He returned to 1942 and found Flexo, making him his tool of revenge. (Venom LGY #225)

"Venom War"

Doom enacted his revenge against Brock, using Dylan as the means. He had erased Flexo's memory of Doom's command to force Dylan to kill his father but made him remember when Brock was without Venom, leaving him vulnerable. Flexo forced Dylan to open fire on Eddie, badly injuring him. Just as Flexo was Doom's pawn against Eddie Brock, the Red Goblin (Normie Osborn) was the pawn of Kang against Doom. Kang knew that Doom would interfere with his plan for conquest and had Red Goblin act to prevent it. Red Goblin soon dragged Flexo out of Grand Garden Arena. (Venom War #3)

Doom's hold over Red Goblin ended after Kang fooled the Fantastic Four into ending Doom's control over Flexo in 1942. (Venom War Fantastic Four #1)

"The 8 Deaths of Spider-Man"

Doom appeared before Spider-Man after he defeated a new crook called Burnout. Doom had fooled Stephen Strange into making him the new Sorcerer Supreme and told the webhead that his meager services were needed. Doom told him that he was "inefficient, unfocused and immature" and he was "disappointing." Regardless, he had chosen Spider-Man for an important task that he was uniquely suited. Spidey called him a Doctor Strange knockoff and Doom teleported away, saying that the covenant would be broken. Later, Spider-Man faced a red monster that demanded to see Earth's champion and ranted about Earth's covenant had begun. As Spidey took a beating, Doctor Doom returned and said this was the task he had been called for. He said that anyone that died would have their deaths on his conscience and Spider-Man immediately agreed to accept his help.

Doom explained that when Stephen Strange had become the Sorcerer Supreme, he had made a bargain with a creature called the Crimson Casket of Cyttorak. The creature would help him protect Earth but Strange had made a devil's bargain. The deal called for Strange to choose someone to battle the Eight Scions of Cyttorak, the offspring of the creature that wanted to prove their worth. Cyttorak considered the battles to be amusing. Doctor Strange accepted the challenge to battle the Scions himself and armed himself with the Reeds of Raggadorr, which would bring him back to life if he were killed by one of the Scions. Over the years, Strange battled the Scions many times and prevailed but Doom had no interest in being put in Strange's place. He had better uses for his time. He chose Spider-Man to be the new champion, as he was tenacious and familiar with pain. Doom declared Spider-Man as Earth's new Champion in the Covenant of Cyttorak and granted him mystic armor and the Eight Reeds of Raggadorr. Spider-Man returned to the battle with the first Scion, that called itself Cyntros. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 6) #61)

An entity called The Blight controlled the Scion known as Callix, who allowed the destructive thing to arrive on earth. The Blight forces those it possesses to destroy that which they love. Strange tried to convince Doom to restore the Casket to stop the Blight but Doom claimed it was too late. Strange furiously accused Doom of failing humanity by not taking the role of Champion just because he didnt want to suffer. Doom hit him with a magic blast, telling him to not question his betters. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 6) #69)

Spider-Man had died and been resurrected by the Scion called Cyra and gained the power of the Juggernaut. The Spider-Naut returned to Earth nearly intoxicated with power, leaving both Strange and Doom wondering what they were seeing. Spider-Naut defeated the Blight and when he returned to normal, he told Strange that he never wanted to do magic ever again. (Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 6) #70
