* AdaptationalBadass: For whatever reason, Doom was bestowed with superpowers in both of Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios cinematic takes on the ''Fantastic Four'' property. They apparently thought it was necessary to give Doom an AdaptationOriginConnection to the accursed team that Richards assembled as opposed to Richards himself - bah!
** In WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes I am powerful enough to easily defeat the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Doom is mighty but my sworn enemies do pose far more of a threat to me than that.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Doom is always a hero, but my incarnation in ComicBook/Marvel2099 is this. This incarnation of me did grow more concerned with saving innocent lives, and did not [[VictoryIsBoring grow bored with ruling the United States]] after freeing it from its corporate overlords and improved the lives of those unfortunate to be born in that miserable future. [[spoiler: In the end I made a HeroicSacrifice to end the menace of the Phalanx.]]



* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: For whatever reason, Doom was bestowed with superpowers in both of Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios cinematic takes on the ''Fantastic Four'' property instead using PoweredArmor. They apparently thought it was necessary to give Doom an AdaptationOriginConnection to the accursed team that Richards assembled as opposed to Richards himself - bah!
** Downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures''. Doom still has PoweredArmor, but rather than using any type of typical weapons you would expect, my armor instead functions by [[MagicFromTechnology manipulating quantum fields]], which also provides the explination for powers that would normally be the result of my magic. As the Mandarin's rings were explained to work through quantum fields, this series appearantly felt the need to introduce the concept with me.



* BadassArmfold: Doom's most common pose when not fighting.



* BreakoutVillain: ENOUGH! Very well, Doom admits that I do fit this trope, having battled virtually every mainstream hero in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, and have even been featured in media adaptions not about the ComicBook/FantasticFour. Doom was most surprised to find that I was used in ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' and the Four weren't, with my origins being changed to having my face scarred by an explosion I used to kill the Latverian royal family, which sadly also killed my mother and bride.

Doom was most surprised to find that I was used in ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' both feature Doom with the Fantastic Four weren't, with my origins being changed to having my face scarred by an explosion barely getting mentioned, if at all. Doom is, [[FoeYay dissapointed that I used to kill was denied the Latverian royal family, which sadly also killed my mother and bride.chance to battle Richards]].



** The depiction of my skills in the mystic arts was initially presented as rudimentary, but later depictions escalated it to where I've bested magic-based characters including Morgan La Fey - no rank amateur mind you - using only magic. I would have taken the title of Sorcerer Supreme if Doctor Strange hadn't gotten it first.



* ColdHam: Doom's counterpart from WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes is as everybit confident and righteous as I am. However, he is far less bombastic than myself, prefering to speak in a much more collected manner.

to:

* ClothingDamage: When the Fantastic Four turned the tables on me in ''Unthinkable'' my suit got more damaged as the fight when on, Reed destroying my hood, and Johnney burning off the coverings on my arms and legs.
* ColdHam: Doom's counterpart from WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes is as everybit confident and righteous as I am. However, he is far less bombastic than myself, prefering preferring to speak in a much more collected manner.



** Once I gained my new mystical power in ''Unthinkable'' I effortless defeated the Fantastic Four and [[BroughtDownToNormal stripped them of their powers]]. Richards did however avenge that defeat later.



* DeadAllAlong: In ''Avengers & the Infinity Gauntlet''. I had in fact died when Thanos killed half the universe, the Doctor Doom who joined the effort to defeat Thanos was ActuallyADoombot [[CrazyPrepared I built in the event a crisis occured and I was able to fight to it]].



* DependingOnTheArtist: My armor maintains the same basic design throughout the years but by mask has had some details vary like the shape of piece where my mouth is.



** How I lost in ''Unthinkable''. I still had the strength to fight the Fantastic Four when the battle turned against me, but Richards started to spout nonsense about my so called inflated ego and said I owed my success thanks to gifts from others. I told him that Doom is in debt to no one, a mistake as the demons I cut the deal with only promised me power as long as I acknowledge my debt to them. I was then DraggedOffToHell.



* MeaninglessVillainVictory: When I returned from Hell thanks to Thor's hammer flying through I fought with the Fantastic Four to take the weapon. I succeeded in reaching it, but to my shock I wasn't worthy to pick it up. Damn Odin and his worthless enchmants, he couldn't tell worthiness if it spit in his face!



* MyopicConqueror: Doom cannot be bothered to concern himself with every little problem you lesser people bring up so hold your toungs.



* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Much like [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan a certain caped bald man]], Doom finds that VictoryIsBoring if it comes too easily. When I took over the world in ''Emperor Doom'' I quickly found [[WantingIsBetterThanHaving being the unopposed ruler of the world to be quite dull]]. When some of the Avengers managed to break free from my control and went to break my hold on the rest of the world I welcomed the rebellion, and eventually let them win to remove the monotony of being an administrator.



* OmnicidalManiac: [[EvenEvilHasStandards I would never take part in such meaningless acts]]. But a version of me from a possible future did, after ComicBook/{{Loki}} wiped out humanity and Thor brought humans back to life, the Doom from that future attempted to destroyy all life on earth under the concieted belief that normal humans had no place in the world anymore]]. Whatever the future holds, I '''will not''' become [[FutureMeScaresMe such a monster]].



** Valeria once came to live with me and Susan asked for her to return. Valeria refused and thanks to the influce of [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Malice]], Susan tried to take her back by force after Valeria provoked her. I tried to reason with Susan, for Valeria's sake I didn't want to start a fight with her mother. Since she was under the influence of her darker side, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished Susan responded to my attempts at reasion with violence and ripped my armor to pieces]].



** In one possible future I aquirred the the powers of [[ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist Iron Fist]], Comicbook/GhostRider, the [[Comicbook/DoctorStrange Sorcerer Supreme]] and the [[RealityWarper Starbrand]].



* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: [[HypocriticalHumor As vile as Richards is won't deny that there are some moments where he shows me more manners than I show him in return, though sometimes this trope is inverted and Doom is polite while the so called heroes are rude to me.]]
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Call me a villain if you will, but Doom doesn't hold to dated prejudices. When I ruled the world in ''Emperor Doom'' one of my first acts was to put an end to South Africa's apalling [[UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra institutionalized racism]].



* PowerCreepPowerSeep: The depiction of my skills in the mystic arts was initially presented as rudimentary, but later depictions escalated it to where I've bested magic-based characters including Morgan La Fey - no rank amateur mind you - using only magic. I would have taken the title of Sorcerer Supreme if Doctor Strange hadn't gotten it first.



* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: In ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures''. Doom is still human in this series, but qualifies since my armor, rather than being Magitek, instead works by manipulating quantum fields. The series for some reason felt the need to [[DoingInTheWizard abandon any supernatural explanations for powers]] with both myself and the Mandarin.

[[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription There is still human in this series, but qualifies since my armor, rather than being Magitek, instead works by manipulating quantum fields. The series for some reason felt nothing stupid about how I refuse to kill Richards when I have the need to [[DoingInTheWizard abandon any supernatural explanations for powers]] with both myself chance, even if it means he and the Mandarin.Fantastic Four get the chance to thwart my plans]].
** I did nothing wrong when I tried to steal the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos and ruined the effort to get off his hand. [[NeverMyFault It's the so called heroes fault for getting in my way!]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheWorfEffect: When I awoke in [[ComicBook/Marvel2099 the year 2099]] and tried to take back Latveria from one of those scum executives Alchemax, I was beaten. My suit was over a hundred years old, I couldn't win against the cutting edge technology of the future. Not without adapting it myself, which thanks to my new allies, I soon did.

No need to have the same trope twice.


* AssholeVictim: You '''dare''' use either terms to label Doom! Well, [[EvenEvilHasStandards I will grant that the]] [[FutureMeScaresMe future version of who was]] slain by [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Old King Thor]] didn't deserve to live after deciding to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy all life on Earth]].



** In the [[WesternAnimation/FantasticFour 90s cartoon]] after I first stole the powers of the ComicBook/SilverSurfer, I made the mistake of thinking it would allow me to defeat Galactus. When I repeated that plan, I made sure Galactus was on the other side of the galaxy so there was no chance of him meddling in plans again.



* DeathSeeker: Doom became this in ComicBook/OldManLogan. Dying of cancer, I sought to meet my end in glorious combat at the hands of a WorthyOpponent instead of wasting away. [[CruelMercy My enemies denied me this]].



* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: I did indeed when I entered Mephisto realm to save my dear mother's soul with Stephen Strange's aid. He offerred to trade her soul for that of Doctor Strange. I complied, and Strange not forseeing my betrayal-[[SuddenlyShouting HOLD YOUR TOUNGE!]] Doom knows how Mephisto [[JackassGenie never makes a deal without cheating those involved.]] He trapped Strange in a crystal that negated his sorcery, but I left a device on Strange's person that allowed him to break free once Mephisto [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder predictably found a way to cheat me.]]

* EasilyForgiven: When I sold Strange's soul to Mephisto. He obviously wasn't pleased that I would do such a thing even for the sake of freeing my mother, but the minute he saw that Mephisto made the deal just to dangle my mother's freedom in front of me, he was far more enraged at Mephisto than he was me. And I didn't really betray him, I left a device on him that allowed him to break free from that AntiMagic prison Mephisto trapped him in. So it was justified that in this instance Strange held no grudge, Doom was not so foolish as to make a deal with Mephisto without some ensurance.

So it was justified that in this instance Strange held no grudge, Doom was not so foolish as to make a deal with Mephisto without some ensurance.



* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[RunningGag How many times must Doom say that I not evil!]] But I digress. I made a deal with Reed Richards to save his wife Susan and her daughter, in exchange for naming her. I wanted nothing else in return, the mere fact that Reed has to spend the rest of his life knowing that he needed my help would eat away at the arrogant fool for-[[SuddenlyShouting WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WASN'T BOTHERED?!]]



* [[ComplexityAddiction Evil Is Stylish]]: Doom will not deny the latter half of this applies, depending on my foe. My methods for killing Richards are perhaps not always the most... practical, but I see no point in defeating him in some mundane way that does not utterly and eternally prove my superiority over him.


Added DiffLines:

** I was once attacked by a [[ActuallyADoomBot robot replica of the Hulk]] fueled by cosmic energy. When I siphoned the energy, I took in a poison pill that damaged parts of my brain, unable to use my magic or armor. Regretfully I needed Reed and Valeria to preform the surgery to restor my intellect.


Added DiffLines:

* HypocriticalHumor: In battle ComicBook/TheMightyThor I complained about how more of my property was being destroyed after I tossed Thor at my castle. Doom is aware of the irony that I was the one damaging it after I said that Thor would destroy no more of my property, [[ExactWords I never said I wouldn't]].


Added DiffLines:

* ILied: When I cut a deal with Namor in ''Emperor Doom''. I told him if he aided in my plan to mind control the planet and ensure that even a few robot entities would bow to my will, he could rule the planet's oceans. It was all a trick, I was just biding time till I make him my slave as well.


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: '''''LIES!''''' Doom's actions are for the good of the world and humanity! Susan and Richards speak nonsense [[YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood when they say I capable of more and wasting my genius]] on [[EvilIsPetty making Richards pay!]]


Added DiffLines:

* UnderestimatingBadassery: After I killed his daughter, [[ComicBook/AntMan Scott Lang]] came after me for revenge. After he crippled my defenses with a sneak attack he challenged me to fight hand to hand. Doom thought it would be an easy victory, but Scott learned to use Pym Particles to enhance his strength and tore my armor to pieces.
* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: I once built my own versio of the Asgardian Destroyer, as noted above. Thor and the vengful Asgardians attacked my castle before it was finished so I used against him early, though it was still perfectly functioncal. [[RealityEnsues Since it wasn't finished it ran out of power]] and Thor smashed into scrap.

The Internet, too, has been copiously graced with Doom's image. My likeness has been used on a show called WebVideo/AssistMe, in which Doom inexplicably shares his quarters with a video game player by the name of Maximilian. Though, for some odd reason, Doom is shown to display equally bizarre affinities for yogurt and an evidently popular children's show named WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic. I will be sure to look into that particular Doombot soon enough. Doom has also taken part in another web series called WebAnimation/DeathBattle, where many characters from different universes engage in mortal combat. Doom grants his assigned opponent, one [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], the supreme accolade: he was that rarest of things, a worthy opponent.

* HonorBeforeReason: A large part of Doom's character. I will never destroy a weakened opponent (such tactics are beneath a mind such as mine) and I will always repay a debt to people who helped me, even heroes (I owed ComicBook/CaptainAmerica for saving my life, so I saved his).

* MoralPragmatist: In the AlternateTimeline of Earth-1191, Doom had become older and unsound in mind and body--by ''Doom's'' standards. I was still vastly superior to all other insignificant insects. Still, Doom chose to help the so-called "heroes" simply because it allowed me to stretch his still-impeccable intellect and retain mental lucidity for greater periods of time. It was made known no uncertain terms, however, that if he ever became healthy again, Doom would once again put the world in its proper place.

* TheExtremistWasRight: During ''ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers'' and ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' Doom's actions of [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 destroying entire universes]] was actually meant to prevent a [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ total reality collapse]] and he succeeeded by taking it to a "mere" ApocalypseHow/ClassX5 and creating a Battleworld where he rules the survivors as a God Emperor.

* BullyingADragon: Entering Mephisto's realm to save my mother's soul proved this. Even with Doctor Strange's assistance, the demon was too powerful in his own realm. I managed to destroy Mephisto's body, only for him to create a new one. Thankfully that demon refused to slay us, killing foes puts their souls beyond his reach.


Added DiffLines:

* SecondPlaceIsForWinners: In ''Triumph and Torment'' after entering a contest against Doctor Strange for the title of Sorcerrer Surpeme. Strange emerged the victor, but I was the real winner since the first place winner owed a boon to the second. Strange was against the idea until Doom told him I merely wanted his services to rescue my mother's soul from Mephisto.

* TopOneHundredComicBookVillains: Doom is graceful enough to accept coming in third place... If only because your limited notions of morality would elevate me so on such an infamous list - plus, Doom concedes that that [[Comicbook/TheJoker clown]] is much more deserving of the "villain" label than I (or even Magnus, for that matter).

** Master artist Creator/JackKirby (the only artist Doom deemed worthy to paint his royal portrait) once painted a poster depicting Captain America, Spider-Man and Thor giving toys to impoverished children. However, it has surfaced that the original sketch for the poster depicted Doom himself, dispensing toys alongside the others. Why do you seem surprised? Doom is, above all, a kind and generous man of the people and I will carve out the tongue of any who say otherwise.

* ColdHam: Doom's counterpart from WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes is as everybit confident and righteous as I am. However, he is far less bombastic than myself, prefering to speak in a much more collected manner.
