History SelfDemonstrating / DoctorDoom

** 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]].

In Doom's continuing quest for mastery of all human knowledge, he joined a mysterious order which taught him secrets of metallurgy. Doom used this lore to create a suit of PoweredArmor which he has used (with some modifications) since that day. From that moment, and forever more, Doom has been known as '''Doctor Doom'''. Doom swiftly overthrew the foolish and unworthy tyrant of Latveria, made public my claim as absolute master of that land, and has since ruled it with an iron fist - the iron and yet simultaneously benevolent and enlightened fist of Doom! Doom's path then once again crossed that of... ''Richards,'' now accompanied by his [[Comicbook/FantasticFour foolish family and sycophants]], who became my sworn enemies. Yet Doom's plans have encountered many obstacles: he has battled heroes and villains in ''abundance!'' - ComicBook/TheAvengers, the ComicBook/XMen, Franchise/SpiderMan, The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, ComicBook/IronMan, ComicBook/TheMightyThor, ComicBook/{{Luke Cage|HeroForHire}} - all have striven against Doom! Some have even succeeded in ''temporarily'' arresting my plans! [[note]]The charitable Doom condescends to mention ComicBook/SquirrelGirl in a footnote for managing to best a Doombot. She most certainly never defeated Doom, as many fools claim.[[/note]] [[labelnote:counter-note]]'''Tippy-Toe Says:''' ComicBook/SquirrelGirl totally pwned Doc Doom in a story written by Creator/SteveDitko him-freakin'-self!

* DisproportionateRetribution: Some claim that Reed did not do what Doom has sworn vengeance on him for. In fact, retcons suggest that Reed was wrong and Doom's device actually worked perfectly well -- the problem was that Doom used it to look into Hell itself! Bah! No punishment is too great for that accursed Richards. Doom is greatly displeased by these ludicrous and patently false charges. Not that Doom woudn't enjoy being right about the machine's success and Richards being wrong about his warning.

* {{Misblamed}}: Often there are those who blame Doom for their own failings or flaws. Morgana Le Fay, whom Doom once courted, found cause to blame Doom for his regrettable absence from her chambers, believing Doom had willingly spurned her company. In truth, Doom had been waylaid by that clod Stark, and arrested for so-called "crimes" without proof or trial.

* NotSoDifferent:
** When he can put aside his irrational ''jealousy'' of Doom, Richards and I ''occasionally'' have moments such as this. As the two most intelligent people on Earth (though Richards shall always come second to Doom's vastly superior intellect), we find it a relief to engage in a conversation without having to simplify our discourse to the plebeian depths at which the bulk of humanity operate.
** Doom's last confrontation with Comicbook/IronMan revealed an interesting fact -- our armors use the same (or almost identical) software. Stark is not the only one who can achieve such feats of technological innovation... though Doom will grant that Stark showed a certain primitive ingenuity in having done so [[MemeticMutation in a cave, with a box of scraps]].
** ComicBook/BlackPanther, who shares Doom's twin burdens of rulership and brilliance, is worthy of Doom's time. We have no difficulty working together if the need arises.

* 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 die had been cast! Doom sought mastery of both magic and technology, amusing himself by leading the Latverian government on a merry chase and scorning their pathetic attempts to destroy him. When word of his exploits inevitably reached the United States, Doom gained the opportunity to study in America. There, Doom had a fateful meeting with... Reed Richards, one of the few humans on the planet who occasionally manage enough flickerings of cognition to make themselves genuinely useful to Doom. Doom manipulated the naif into helping me construct a portal to Hell, with the noble goal of retrieving my mother's soul. Whether due to Richards' incompetence - or intentional sabotage on his part out of jealousy for Doom's genius - or perhaps both! - the device exploded and [[ScarsAreForever forever marred the noble visage of Doom]]. [[labelnote:Editor's Note]]According to all other accounts, Reed not only had nothing to do with the portal's explosion, he actually ''warned'' Doom that it would- ACK![[/labelnote]] Doom ''accurately and eternally'' blames Richards for his disfigurement, which compelled Doom to [[MinorInjuryOverreaction withdraw from society for some time]].

'''[[NeverLiveItDown Would-be chroniclers need not always mention Squirrel Girl in the same breath as Doom!]]''' Doom is more than one trifling incident!

Indeed, Doom has overcome ''far'' greater threats than some simpering peasant girl and her tree-crawling rats! That accursed ''Richards'' once engineered my overthrow in favor of the unworthy [[EvilPrince Prince Zorba]]. By making it obvious even to their lesser intellects that Zorba was laying waste to the land that Doom has so lovingly shepherded, I manipulated Richards and his lackeys into aiding my re-ascension. Even that sentimental buffoon could see that the people of Latveria were better off under the beneficient and total control of '''Doom!'''

You can behold my power in fighting games [[VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes made]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2 by]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Capcom,]] despite the indignity of being second fiddle to that egomaniacal ham, Comicbook/{{Thanos}}. Rest assured that Doom WILL strike down [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]] and his Creator/{{Capcom}} ilk in Richards' stead. And you may rest assured that any match in which Doom is defeated... it was a Doombot![[note]] Doom is eagerly awaiting for future announcements of [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite the newest chapter of the clash of two universes]]. This time [[VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes The Infinity Gems]] are involved. Doom has great confidence that he will be involved since William Rosemann of Marvel Games does not answer to that simpering dunderpate Perlmutter. [[/note]]

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

* DisproportionateRetribution: Some claim that Reed did not do what Doom has sworn vengeance on him for. In fact, retcons suggest that Reed was wrong and Doom's device actually worked perfectly well -- the problem was that Doom used it to look into Hell itself! Bah! No punishment is too great for that accursed Richards. Doom is greatly displeased by these ludicrous and patently false charges.

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, though one thing is certain - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXQoB_tjfOA his slick rhymes are as unbeatable as the real thing]]. 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. However...Doom would later found himself again in that [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny bloodsport]] when facing his OTHER assigned opponent, [[SelfDemonstrating/Lex Luthor]], the bald-headed man had the boldness to use the same technique in his far inferior [[ActuallyADoombot Lexbot]] But while he was a [[WorthyOpponent more of a challenge thanks to his newly added superhuman abilities]], Lex was a fool to believe he won...for [[BodySurf Doom swapped our bodies]], letting that alien-hating kretin [[HoistByHisOwnPetard crush his own heart in]]...then to add insult to injury...slammed him into his own logo and sliced him up...all while Doom looks away, knowing the powers of his were beneath me, even as Emperor Doom.

%%* DeadpanSnarker: DependingOnTheWriter Doom is this or has NoSenseOfHumor.

** My incarnation in ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' is a misanthropic OmnicidalManiac with a GodComplex who's willing to kill all live on Earth.

* AdaptationalBadass: 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.

* AdaptationalJerkass: My incarnation in WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures. Doom does many things lesser men consider morally questionable, but [[IGaveMyWord I am a man of my word.]] This depiction however is not, when I promised aid to Obadiah Stane in developing [[HumongousMecha Iron Monger]], in truth I altered the generator so it would destroy New York to wipe out my technological competition in the west.

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

* 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.
