Doctor Doom

Doctor Doom

• Real Name: Victor von Doom
• Classification: Head of Rogue State 
• Nationality: Latverian
• Criminal Record: Though accused of numerous crimes against humanity, Doom has never been arrested because of the diplomatic immunity conferred on him as a sovereign ruler. 
• Powers: Doom’s genius-level intellect is believed matched only by Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. 
• Abilities: Superlative knowledge of technology and mysticism
• Unique Weapon(s): Doom has constructed an impenetrable suit of armor for himself that greatly boosts his strength and conceals a number of deadly weapons. 
• Known History: Doom’s life story has been one of unparalleled ambition. Born to poor gypsies, he won a scholarship to an American university, where he drove to prove himself more brilliant than fellow student Reed Richards. A technological attempt to contact the land of the dead literally blew up in Doom’s face, disfiguring him horribly for life. But that did not stop his relentless drive; after mastering science, he went to the Far East to learn the mystic arts; then he returned to his native Latveria and conquered it single-handedly, placing the entire country under his authoritarian rule. 

But one country is hardly enough for Doom’s massive ego. He wants to put the whole world under his heel, and without the constant vigilance of SHIELD, the Fantastic Four, and other heroes, he has the resources and drive to one day accomplish that goal. 

Observations: 

“We haven’t heard a peep from Doom since The Pulse hit, making everyone involved in global security very nervous. If I was of a more optimistic bent I’d hope The Pulse killed the electronics in his suit, trapping him in it. If so, that would have made The Pulse the best thing to ever happen to humanity. 

“But I don’t think that. What I really think is that we haven’t heard from Doom because he’s plotting his next move, post-Pulse. It will be big. It will be bad. And we need to find out what that is, people.” — Maria Hill
