Of the many darling rivalries in superhero comic strip , none are as iconic or as understandable as the one betweenReed RichardsandDoctor Doom . While it might be easy to side with Reed Richards - after all , he is the " good guy " of the Fantastic Four - I ca n’t aid but understand where Doctor Doom is add up from .
Doctor Doom and Reed Richards have been at odds with one another for decennium , even thoughthey both technically require the same affair . Both of these characters have been trying to make the public a better place . They ’ve just been going about it in different way .
I in full understand why Doctor Doom would detest Reed Richards , since , from Doctor Doom ’s point of scene , he ’s the one who can save the world . He believe that he is the only one who can save up the world , and yet , time and again , his plan are cross byReed Richards and the Fantastic Four , who only view Doctor Doom as a savage tyrant .
Doctor Doom Truly Believes That He Is Humanity’s Only Hope
But Reed Richards Won’t Get Out of His Way
Doctor Doomdidn’t have an easy upbringing . He was born in a Romani camp to a single mother , who afterwards died after making a deal with the literal devil . decennium later , when Doctor Doom managed to get through college , he tried to make a machine that would tolerate him to communicate with his deadened female parent . It was a brilliant and deep personal undertaking on his part , but he had made a misunderstanding in his calculation , a mistake that Reed Richards pointed out . Doctor Doom ignored the warning , and his auto break loose , scarring his face .
A brawny villain force Doctor Doom to friend with the Avengers , however , this is n’t a new threat , but rather a familiar face .
Doctor Doom was far too proud to believe that he had made a mistake in his computation , and I honestly think that ’s intelligible . The comical frames it as Victor von Doom being too arrogant to assume he could have made a misapprehension , but try looking at it from Doom ’s view : he grew up misfortunate in a Romani camp while Reed was the Logos of a wealthy physicist . Doom had to work firmly to make it to college . Reed could have gone to any college in the world due to his perquisite , yetReed thought he could advise Doomabout an experiment that he had spent years developing .
Reed Richards Isn’t Always the Marvel Universe’s Ideal Hero
There Are So Many Evil Reeds in the Multiverse
Everyone always paints Doom as the baddie and acts like Reed is the good guy in every situation , but that has n’t always been the case . Doctor Doom want to save the humanity , just in his own way . I reckon it makes sensation that Doom would then be naturally opposed to someone who has cease the earth several fourth dimension . Doctor Doom had plenty of experience explore the multiverse , and he would likely have seen all the unlike versions of Reed Richards who are malefic across that multiverse . flock of worlds have ended due to Reed - a luck more ends - of - the - humanity than Doom ever caused .
In theMarvel Zombiesuniverse , for representative , Reed designedly infects the Fantastic Four before allowing himself to be transformed into a zombi . Losing Reed ’s intelligence to the zombie computer virus was a major blow to humanityand much killed any Leslie Townes Hope of a cure being come across . Over in the latterly - update Ultimate Universe , Reed Richards ultimately becomes the scoundrel know as the Maker , a brutal Einstein who is responsible for meddling in the account of several alternate macrocosm . I cogitate it ’s perfectly reasonable to assume that Doctor Doom would hump of these events , take his experience with the multiverse .
Doctor Doom’s Dislike of Reed Richards Is Totally Justified
I’d Also Dislike Him in the Same Situation
suppose truly believe that you could economize the world , that you ’re the only person who can , and yet every time you try , someone stops you . It ’s completely justified that Doctor Doom would hate Reed Richards , especially sincethere ’s proof that live in a world rule by Doom would be a utopia . During a sojourn to Wakanda , the Panther God of Wakanda expect deeply into Doom ’s soul and determined that the only future in which human beings survives into the long condition , the only futurity that is a utopia , is the one that Doom rule over .
With that sort of pure - hearted belief in how righteous his cause is , I really ca n’t blame Doctor Doom for hating Reed .
With that kind of pure - hearted belief in how righteous his cause is , I really ca n’t blame Doctor Doom for hat Reed . There ’s no sure future tense where Reed ultimately lay aside the world and brings humanity into a new era , but there is such a future with Doom . While Reed Richards would never admit it , everything that Doom has done has been because he believes it ’s the only potential path towards economize mankind . Yes , it ’s also due to his unbelievable self-importance , but two things can be true at once . That ’s why , as savage as Doom is , and despite what a heroReed Richardsis , I ca n’t blameDoctor Doomfor hating him .
