WARNING ! spoiler for One World Under Doom # 2
Doctor Doommay seem invincible now that he ’s conquered the Marvel Universe , but theFantastic Fourhave identified his ultimate weakness , and it ’s one that I think should be integrate into the MCU . With masses across the world cantillate his name and cheering him on , Doom ’s pride is off the charts since his deepest desire is to be the good . Of of course , as we all know , superbia cometh before the fall .
In the trailer forOne World Under Doom#2 by Ryan North , R.B. Silva , David Curiel , and Travis Lanham , theFantastic Four are picking up the piecesafter Doctor Doom ’s worldwide putsch . However , even if Doctor Doom has the world on his side , the Fantastic Four can exploit that .
In the Human Torch ’s words,“That ’s how you incinerate down a legend . You make him search like a gull . “Doctor Doom ’s ego has never been more hyperbolic now that he ’s won politically , and that means it ’ll be all the more withering for the Fantastic Four to make him look bad in front of a global interview .
Doctor Doom’s Greatest Flaw Is His Ego, And The Fantastic Four Know It
Doom’s Bravado Falls Apart When He Gets Shown Up by Others
pridefulness has been Doctor Doom ’s definitive weakness since his initial creation by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby , and this flaw can most notably be identified within his blood story . In college , Victor Von Doom was working on an experiment whenReed Richardsinformed him that there was something wrong with it . Rather than accept aid and admit he ’d done something incorrectly , Victor follow through with his task , only for it to go awfully untimely . With his face scarred and his superbia wounded by the realization that someone was potentially smarter than him , Doom put on a mask and vowed to take revenge .
Doctor Doom ’s vanity pushes him on a route to villainy , and it ’s as much a strength that fuels him as it is a helplessness that could be used against him .
Doctor Doom ’s vanitypushes him on a course to villainy , and it ’s as much a strength that fuels him as it is a weakness that could be used against him . This concept gets expanded upon inFantastic Four#29 by Ryan North and Cory Smith , in which Invisible Woman explains that Doom builds up an elaborate estimation about himself using hisfearsome codename . In realism , though , he is"just some guy named ' Victor ' " . The legends he build are all illusions to build his ego , but when that ’s learn aside , Doom is just a menace at all .
Doctor Doom Has Won the Public’s Favor, So Taking That Away Will Defeat Him
The Fantastic Four Can Use Doom’s Ego Against Him to Claim Victory
InOne World Under Doom , the titular villain has zoom eminent than ever before , winning the Earth to his side and framing their former heroes as incompetent mug who ca n’t help them the way he can . He ’s win over the world ’s leaders to support his rule , and despite the Avengers ' endeavour at exposing his lies , Doom has managed to outmaneuver themby using his secret murder of Baron Zemo and Red Skull as a propaganda prick . The people of the public have declared Doom to be their savior , and this far-flung plaudits gives him baron - but the Fantastic Four see that it can be strip away .
Doctor Doom has found many means to defeat the Fantastic Four over the twelvemonth , but his most late victory may be his greatest of all metre .
The Fantastic Four ’s planisn’t to physically kill Doom . or else , they train to make him look"weak and cockamamy and angry " , which would be a monolithic C to his pride . When he ’s made a mark of , Doom loses control out of desperation , and it ’s when he ’s not run at his full strategic capacity that he ’s at his most vulnerable . I ’m impress by the Fantastic Four ’s tactics here , since they exhibit how deeply they understand Victor , andI’d sexual love to see a similar approach to fighting Doctor Doom get depicted in the MCU once he joins the franchise .
I Hope Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom Incorporates Victor’s Weakness
Any Good Adaptation of Doctor Doom Must Understand His Flaws
WithRobert Downey Jr. limit to play Doctor Doomin his coming MCU debut , I unfeignedly hope that his version of the character sheds light on this major fault . Doom ’s ego is an all-important part of him that can be used against him by opponents , and the MCU would be neglectful not to acknowledge it . The key to kill Doom is to get under his skin , so it would be interesting to see the heroes of Marvel ’s cinematic universe tap that as they do in the strip . Doctor Doomis define by pride , and I ’m curious to see how Robert Downey Jr. treat that side of him .
One World Under Doom#2will be available on March 19th , 2025 from Marvel Comics !
